Question: How do I tell my dad I need to go to summer school? Posted: 28 May 2019 12:59 PM PDT Okay so, I decided to take summer school online cause I feel it would just be more comfortable than actually going. I just found out today that I officially need to take summer school and this is my first time ever needing to take it. I'm in 8th grade and I'm not sure how I should tell my dad. I've honestly just been too focused on my algebra honors class the whole year since everyone made SUCH a huge deal out of it and my other classes just didn't mean as much to me so I put those in the back of my head, history not being an exception, which is the class I failed. My dad is pretty strict about grades and he always sees me as the one who gets the good grades and my brother being the one whose grades aren't so good, which used to be true, but this year it switched around. I'm just quite scared as to what he would say or how disappointed he'll be in me. Which trust me, I'm already extremely disappointed in myself, i have enough disappointment for 10 people! I don't know how to go around telling him or how to even bring it up, help. |
Question: I it ok to take the doors off a bathroom? Posted: 28 May 2019 11:52 AM PDT My brother keeps master bating in the bathroom (little brother) so my parents said they're going to take the doors off would you be ok with this? |
Posted: 28 May 2019 11:36 AM PDT I'd prefer if someone old answers this.... because I need serious help, I'm having suicidal thoughts. EVERYONE, atleast the ones I've met, have a better life than me - just for the reason that they were born lucky - to non-abusive parents & in good, first world countries...unlike me I spent the first 2 decades of life in a REALLY bad place, with as$hole parents. I'm a woman, and the place was REALLY misogynist. I had to do everything myself, such as deal with molestation as a kid, physical abuse by my parents, somehow "fund" my education, fight against a lot of people (including my idiot parents) for immigrating to a better country. I am 25 right now. I feel like such a wicked person because I hate ALL those who've had it better than me (which is almost everyone where I live now). I can't help it...I'm SO jealous of their luck My childhood was so bad compared to the people around me, NOW (in a Western, 1st world country).. they had trivial,first-world problems... whereas I was dealing with stuff like sexual abuse, threats of physical harm, etc. Even NOW, the abuse has its effect... because I have lost my ability to love or trust anyone. Nothing makes me happy, but the most saddening thing is that THEY have I better than me just because they were born a certain way How do I cope up with this? I HATE that I had/have more problems than THEM, for NO reason. And the hate is killing me on the inside. Should I isolate myself? Should I become more religious? If anyone gives a "you're trolling" answer here, I'm not trolling. I'm struggling from extreme sadness and suicidal thoughts. I need someone's guidance because I have NO family or friends for that. |
Question: I am providing respite care for 2 autistic little boys 3 & 5.? Posted: 28 May 2019 11:28 AM PDT As it is, they are very unruly, and do not mind anything. They have a little brother that will be 2 in August. The mom works, dad does not. Dad wants me to watch baby while he does his thing around the house, since I am providing respite care for the older 2 anyway. If the baby needs changed I can let him know. Mom expects me to do little brothers laundry with older two, "because it really isn't that much more!" Am I just being difficult in this situation, thinking that I already have my hands full, with the older two? Geez! I know if I report this, she will fire me. |
Question: I am having identical twin girls. One is named Pearl, what should I name the other? Posted: 28 May 2019 10:33 AM PDT |
Question: Whats the difference between temporary kick outs and permament kick outs m confusd? Posted: 28 May 2019 10:22 AM PDT 18 year olds - get kicked out, may come back with moeny issue or whatever below 18- they kick out temprorairly so they can come back to teach a lesson ??? i seen macom in middle and he git kick out tempeoray |
Question: This was a conversation between me and my mother:? Posted: 28 May 2019 10:17 AM PDT What happened to not caring Abt my grades as long as I'm a good person lol. I can't help that I'm dumb I'm trying my hardest Mom- You aren't trying your hardest if you are spending ANY amount of time on toon town or you tube etc at home all day instead of putting forth good effort into classes I'm paying for. You aren't dumb. Nice try. You've been tested. Not dumb. And I've said you don't have to have straight As but NO excuse for C's if your being homeschooled. You have plenty of time. Yes I'm 15 and I play Toontown still, don't judge me... I'm so upset I don't really know how to respond and I need help. How can I explain to my mom that online school is still stressful and I should still have some recreational time during the day since I only take 4 classes, and I really am trying my hardest. |
Posted: 28 May 2019 08:35 AM PDT About a year or two after I first met my mother's boyfriend (who I refer to as my stepdad), I found his niece on Facebook, in the interim of friend requesting his son and daughter. When I told him that I found her, as I was about send a message to her inbox after having friended her, my stepdad said, "That's great. Tell her I said hi," to which I also humorously said in her inbox, "Sparky says hello." Sparky is my stepdad's dog. Not only did his niece not accept my friend request, but she replied, "Who is this? How did you find me?" At that moment, I didn't know what to say, because I specifically told her in the message. Was she being rhetorical? I don't understand why she reacted that way, especially since I recently noticed that she's now friends with my mother on Facebook. FYI - my stepdad's niece is very pretty, so I think she assumes every guy wants her, and that she has to be very cautious on Facebook. Is she an uppity snob? Since I told her who I was, why would she react like I'm some creepy perv? Not to sound inappropriate, but perhaps maybe her uncle (my stepdad) molested her, and that she therefore feels uneasy with a message that I relayed on Facebook that was from him? I feel so hurt by this, because I always thought that there are only uppity snobs at where you work, not within your family. |
Question: Is this disfunction and abuse? Posted: 28 May 2019 08:20 AM PDT About 2 years ago I decided to stop letting my mother mistreat me as an adult. I was verbally, mentally and physically abused by her as a child, but decided I could not allow the emotional abuse any longer. My brother and I are 14 years apart. I'm in my 50's. I remember when I was in my 20's my mom telling me and my aunts that my little brother, who was 3 at the time would get an erection when he'd see my mother without her bra. They all thought it was funny. None of them talk to me since my mother and I parted ways. At times it's like the twilight zone. Am I the bad one? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't what my mother did abuse? My brother never mentions it and still has a good relationship with her. What any I missing? Why am I the one being judged here? |
Posted: 28 May 2019 08:01 AM PDT My sister is 15 years old, height 5'4 but only weighs 88lbs. She hates most healthy foods and eats very little. When she was in elementary school, she'd throw her school lunches away (I don't know if she still does it or not). My sister has no eating disorders, it's just that she's extremely picky. People are beginning to notice how unusually skinny she is. She looks more like a 10 year old. Although she started puberty when she was in 5th grade, it looks like she never grew much because of malnutrition. My parents just brush it off or don't realize. They did purchase her some capsules to treat anemia, though. My sister is tired all the time, completely out of mind, she's irritable, etc. Hair is falling out. If she keeps it up, she'll look like a very small, malnourished child attending senior prom when she's 18 years old. I don't think it can go on for that long without a concerned person noticing though. Each year as she gets older, it'll become more noticeable to her teachers, school administrators and counsellors who see her on a daily basis. |
Question: My mom is controversial with no platform? Posted: 28 May 2019 06:51 AM PDT There are thousands of people who are against government issues and like to stir the pot with politics and get things off their chest. My mom, however, is so adamant about politics and current abortion issues that she literally starts fights with everyone on social media. She even had her Instagram hacked into because someone disagreed with her posts after she blocked them from commenting on her post. My mom's never been to any type of rallys or protests, she's not involved in anything in the community - she's not a lobbyist and she merely re-posts memes and posters about politics but she doesn't take any action to support her fury. Now, she tries to get into controversial topics with me and I refuse to talk about politics or any issues (when I feel strongly about an issue/problem, I join others in my neighborhood or go to a source/event for the cause). Should I even respond to her texts and convos about politics? I've just ducked my head when she throws all of her comments at me with her anger, but that's all she ever talks about (and never asks or talks about real life or asks me how I am). How else can I thwart political convo with my cray cray mom!!! |
Question: Tengo un problema tengo un hermano pequeño que molesta demasiado.? Posted: 28 May 2019 06:27 AM PDT Aveces quisiera estar sola porque no tienen idea lo estresante que es él, trato de ser buena hermana pero al final el termina tirándome cosas, y yo no puedo hacer nada pues porque mi mamá se enoja, quisiera mi privacidad porque El Niño no deja de seguirme y no es porque me quiere si no porque le gusta joder, me estreso demasiado con ese niño y mi madre no entiende quiere que le aguante todo, he pensado en irme de la casa porque sinceramente no puedo con ese niño es insoportable. |

Posted: 28 May 2019 05:02 AM PDT I tried hosting something myself and still do but none of the 1st cousins come even though my Mom's sibs usually come. It is not the same though better then nothing. If it is ever pouring rain it will really be a let down. |
Posted: 28 May 2019 05:00 AM PDT She will be there, it is her son getting married, we are invited for the son's sake. There will be tension like if Trump and Hillary were seated side by side. It will be terrifying but it is a family wedding so I wanted to except for the son's sake. What do we do? How do I respond when the fight among the siblings arises? One uncle is too terrified to even attend. |
Question: As a 17 year old, how do I deal with over-critical and judgemental parents? Posted: 28 May 2019 12:53 AM PDT My parents are extremely negative and judges everyone. Note that I will not move out next year because housing is too expensive where I live, and I'm not ready to be on my own. Growing up, I had low self esteem. My parents pointed out whether I was too skinny or too fat, if my clothes looked bad, or if I had a pimple. They'll point out when I accidentally spill something and call me a bunch of names. Frankly, they do it to my younger siblings too so I'm not the only one. I grew up watching them fight with each other 24/7 and disagree on everything. They don't even get along that well. |
Question: What do you think of my sister's discipline methods for her teen..? Posted: 27 May 2019 11:25 PM PDT Even since my nephew became a teen, his mom has been using sleep as incentive and a part of him being grounded. If he doesnt do his chores or his grades start to slip, or he's not been listening to her (breaking rules) she doesnt let him sleep for 2 consecutive days. If it's something more long term, he's only allowed to sleep 2 hours per day for the duration that he's grounded (usually just a week). What do you think of that method? I personally think it's a bit much but mainly bc I am known to love my beauty rest. |
Question: What bad things can she be doing? Posted: 27 May 2019 09:33 PM PDT My mom told me and dad that my sister in her late 20s said to her that she is doing bad things to us and that we don't even know? No idea what it could be? My sister spends a lot of time in her room and works. |
Question: Family: What to do about my 56 years old father? Posted: 27 May 2019 08:25 PM PDT I'm 27 years old and my dad has always been in my life. My mom and dad has been married for 34 years and they've both been integral to my life. I love them both, but my dad has never held down a job nor added to the stability of our family. I love him, but my dad is dependent. My mom has been separated from my dad for 3 years. He's not stable on his own. He's been couch surfing on his friends' couch and in the home of different women. My mom has even allowed him to live with her. My dad also likes telling people how to love their life but his life isn't right. I'm really embarrassed by my dad. He's needy and dependent upon everyone. What to do? |
Question: Signs you’re a witch? Posted: 27 May 2019 08:02 PM PDT |
Posted: 27 May 2019 07:37 PM PDT I make $1500 monthly. I have been looking for a room.My dad found some rooms that cost $550 above. But my Uncle told me that someone just moved out where he lives the available room is only $250.Since my dad doesn't really like my Uncle, he disagreed with me that I shouldn't rent the room.Now he's mad and said im disobeying him. He's not supporting me with either costs. I'm in college and need to save that extra $300.Pls advise me |
Posted: 27 May 2019 07:36 PM PDT She constantly yells at me and screams at me that I m fat, calls me selfish, a *****, a brat. She screams at the top of her lungs at me and every time I am with her I just hold so much resentment. This started happening after my dad died and I get I am not the golden child and I am not nice and fuzzy but that is only because she has been treating me horribly for the past six years now. She tells me I am nothing without her and she constantly belittles me, takes my money, invades my personal space, compares me to others, and makes me feel guilty for being born. She tells me I am the cause of our money problems and makes me feel bad about so many financial issues and her emotional and physical issues. I can t wait three more years to move out but she is the only family I have. And I hate myself for having so much resentment towards her and I don t want to, its just being treated like **** for six years really makes you change the way you see someone. What do I do? |
Posted: 27 May 2019 07:27 PM PDT So I don't have a lot of experience with girls at this age group, since I have two younger sons and she was not bullied before. Besides, school is ending within next month anyways (we live in Canada, summer break isn't here until June). My daughter is upset that a girl has been saying nasty things and spreading rumours about her. Most of them are fake stories about my daughter being involved in sexual or illegal activities. She thinks she did something wrong to trigger it. However, I've met the bully's parents and I can guarantee that she acts unkind because of a crappy home life. The bully comes from a high conflict household. The family is meeting all her daily needs, but not much love and stability is shown. These households tend to create emotionally crippled and poorly raised kids. There's more, but I won't say to protect the privacy of this family. My daughter doesn't realize that this kid's behaviour is a result of something else, not because of her. |
Question: Why does my dad keep mentioning my mom’s ex? Posted: 27 May 2019 06:42 PM PDT Both of my parents were married before. For some reason, my dad keeps bringing up my mom's ex. Why does he do this? |
Question: How do I get a 15 year old neighbour to quit complaining about her parents to me? Posted: 27 May 2019 06:36 PM PDT The 15 year old complains that her parents are too critical, harsh, judgemental and yells too much. She was born in the US, but her parents are from Asia so there are cultural differences that cause arguments between them too. I think the reason why she clings to me is because she can't communicate with her parents without feeling criticized or judged. However, it's become a daily thing for her to be unhappy about. She doesn't realize how lucky she is compared to some other children in this world. There are millions of orphans, for example, and there are kids who are abused too. Her parents are trying their best to raise a daughter (and her little brother) in a strange place that is not their home town. While I agree that maybe it seems like parenting skills could improve, I cannot judge because I don't know her family personally. I'm only hearing from her side. It's also quite possible that it's just a normal angsty teen stage that we've all gone through. Besides this, everything else looks like she's properly taken care of and her parents want what's best for their kids |
Question: Do you think my niece is serious when she calls me a loser? Posted: 27 May 2019 06:10 PM PDT I love me niece but sometimes she is hard to understand. I like to play games like tag with the kids in my family. They expect it and are always inviting to their games, especially my niece ever since she was 4. She is 11 going on 12. I guess you could say she thinks of me as a friend. Lately she has been putting an L on her forehead llke she thinks I'm a loser. I believe she is joking but when I did it back to her" she said "you really are though. She said it with a smile. I believe she is playing I just want opinions without judgement please. |
Question: How can my overweight relative be comfortable with posting on social media? Posted: 27 May 2019 06:08 PM PDT I am not fat shaming her, but when I was overweight I use to be embarrassed to go to events or people houses because people use to tease me. These days most people don't like overweight people. My relative posts many pictures and selfies on social media with her thin friends and she seem to be always on the go. She is very overweight yet all her friends stay in shape. She did try to lose weight since she was a kid but she wasnt able to. I was wondering since my mom always told me nobody likes a fat woman maybe does my relative endure teasing or she just ignores it? |
Question: Is it normal for my 13 year old brother to constantly say “I hate you” to our parents? Posted: 27 May 2019 05:33 PM PDT It's usually over petty things like not getting his own way. He tends to have quick tempers. |
Posted: 27 May 2019 05:22 PM PDT My dad was married with two daughters aged 9 and 4 when he cheated and had me. I never had a relationship with them because of the tension. Since we're all adults now (24, 28, and 33) I added the oldest to facebook last year, who I heard was the most willing to talk to me. Our relationship has been nice but very formal, we have never discussed anything personal, it's just "how are you?" and showing me photos of her kids. But I like it this way because I see it as baby steps. About 3 months ago her mother added me. I was very surprised by this, because I had been told by my aunt that she used to hate it for anyone to even mention me. She is also part of the reason I never got to speak to them as a kid, and supposedly the reason my other sister isn't willing to talk to me. My mom got upset when I told her that I accepted the friend request, because she says that she probably stills hates me and only wants to snoop at my pictures. I kept her in my friends list though and never spoke to her. Yesterday she suddenly sends me a message saying "You're pretty, you look just like your sisters. Blessings" that weirded me out, because saying that I looked like them is the last thing I expected from her. I just said "thanks", now she sent me a message saying "it makes me very happy that you're communicating, family is important. kisses and many blessings" I don't know what to make of this, but i'm a bit suspicious about her motives for suddenly being nice to me. any thoughts? |
Posted: 27 May 2019 05:07 PM PDT My other sibling has guardianship of my niece, because her parents decided to work abroad and said she'd get better education here, so she should stay here. They've been away for 4 years now. She only visits them on school holidays. We're not even sure if they'll come back for her high school graduation at all (she graduates next year in June 2020). She seems less disciplined than she used to be too. My niece does things that she couldn't even dream of doing when her parents lived with her. Part of it might just be that she's older now and has more freedom, but the other part might be that relatives are less strict with her. People have suggested that she needs Mom and Dad, because aunties/uncles don't really fill that role. |
Posted: 27 May 2019 04:35 PM PDT I'm a 16 year old boy. These are normal compliments that people give to little kids, then they move on with their lives. When I was her age, my parents accepted those compliments and agreed how cute or handsome I was. Now, friends, family and strangers tell my sister how pretty and beautiful she is. Every time, my parents will remind them that she's also good at math, plays sports, and has an excellent memory. I understand that appearance is not everything, but I can't help but notice how differently my parents treat her compared to me when I was her age. They're more worried that she'll become obsessed with her looks. They worry more about how her early teenage years might be. They worry about how she might feel too pressured by society. With me, my parents didn't worry as much. There's such a big difference in how they're raising her - they're more protective, and worry more in general. |
Question: What are some restrictions I should give my friend? Posted: 27 May 2019 04:31 PM PDT I'm going to be dating my friend mom and I want to give my friend some house rules. He still lives with his mom. I want to tell him as long as he is living in my house he needs to follow my rules |
Question: Why do Americans not care about their kids? Posted: 27 May 2019 04:26 PM PDT Why do they not care what happens to their kids when they turn twenty, stop talking to them, make them homeless? |
Question: How can I get my mother to stop pulling my hair?? Posted: 27 May 2019 04:09 PM PDT Whenever my mom gets mad at me, she grabs and pulls my hair. Once she gets it in her fist, I cant really get loose unless she let's go bc it hurts too much. I'm 15 now but when I was younger figured if i cut my hair that would solve the problem but she just started pulling my ear and I ended up getting an ear infection. I've asked her tons of times not to do it, especially since she does it before she even asks me to do anything. It's almost always her 1st resort, she just says that's how you have to deal with "rowdy boys" even though o dont even have to do anything. I think she just likes causing me pain and pulling my hair when she's bored. |
Question: Am I forgiven for not attending to my nephew’s birthday? Posted: 27 May 2019 03:16 PM PDT On June 8th It's going to be my nephews first birthday. Unfortunately one of my work colleague went on vacation for a month. Therefore my schedule is pretty much set and I'd feel pretty bad if I don't show up that day because my brother and sister-in-law be mad at me. So am I forgiven? |
