Question: Why does my dad check my wife out and what should I do? It makes me very uncomfortable.?

Posted: 09 May 2019 01:42 PM PDT

We were high school sweethearts. He started staring at her butt whenever she was in front of him. He always wants to look at pictures of her and stand beside her. Not real typical father in law behavior. I haven't ever confronted him. I've feared it would mess up my parents' marriage or something. I'm pretty sure he knows that I know. We've had some weird looks a back and forth. It was embarrassing but I finally told my wife. She said she has never noticed. I was surprised that she hasn't. To me it has been obvious. I guess I also hoped he would quit after we got married and had kids. I thought he would view it as more wrong or messed up. Well, that is not the case. Any time it's a family cookout or pool party he stares at her like she's the centerfold of a Playboy magazine. He doesn't do this with my brother's wife. She is thin and attractive too. The only difference is he's know my wife since she was 15 and my sister in law for not that long.

Question: What should I do? I want to see me baby sister, stepsister, and stepmom but not so sure about my dad.?

Posted: 09 May 2019 01:36 PM PDT

My sister said he hit her and he kicked her out but my stepmom claims he didn't hit her. My mom and step-dad won't let me go over there and now I can't see my stepmom bc she covered for my sister when she lied and said she wasn't going to the movies. My baby sister will be born very soon and I want to be there. I want to see her grow up and I miss my stepsisters. My stepmom is kind too. I ignore my dad's call and sometimes stepmom text because I'm unsure on how to act. Please help

Question: How can I stop being so stressed about helping my family out financially? I never have fun money because I always need to help them?

Posted: 09 May 2019 01:22 PM PDT

I don't live with my family, I am just sending them $ to help out

Question: My girlfriend's mom died in 2005 and soon there's gonna be Mother's day and I feel bad for her. What should I tell her?

Posted: 09 May 2019 01:06 PM PDT

So my gf's mom died in 2005 of cancer when she was 10. I didn't know her then but I know what it's like to lose a family member. My brother was a Marine died in 2006 in Iraq at 19. When we first met we bonded I believe because we had both lost a family member when we were young and our other friends didn't understand us. Truth is that yes I lost my brother,my parents lost a son. We've got his purple heart but I don't have lost my mom. Mother's day is a day when you're bombarded by all kinds of stuff about mothers and I can't help but feel bad for her on that occasion. Should I tell her something to make her feel better? How should I cheer her up? Should I be extra nice? Please advice.

Question: Am I a bad person for not wanting to help my parents and sibling out with their bills when I have to do without important things as is?

Posted: 09 May 2019 12:47 PM PDT

First off, I don't live with my family and don't rely on them for money. For example, I need a lot of dental work. My sibling doesn't work, and I am left giving about 1/2 of my wages to my family. It has been this way for about two years now and I am ready to cut them off because they aren't helping themselves. If I even spend $50 on myself in one month but complain about my sibling not helping out my parents, I get told off. But they spend far more than that on themselves and ask me for money still. Wouldn't it make more sense if they cut back $50, and asked me for $50 less? They are so bad with money!

Question: Why does my dad pull this crap?

Posted: 09 May 2019 12:12 PM PDT

So yesterday, we didn't get enough done because we left our house too late. We made a goal last night together, that we would get up this morning at 9 and be out of the house by 10. Well, I got up at 9, but I kept falling asleep. I actually managed to fall asleep sitting up. So I went back to bed for an hour, after letting him know that I didn't feel I was good to drive. Got up at 10, took my morning meds, including my long acting insulin. I drew a shot of my short-acting before meal insulin, after testing myself. Dad said we were going to eat on the road, so I didn't dare start breakfast. Now here we are at 12 minutes past 12, and he is still strolling around. I could have had three breakfasts by now. Why does he want to starve me!?

Question: My dad wants my computer, I don’t want to give it to him. How do I say no?

Posted: 09 May 2019 11:25 AM PDT

My dad is overly possessive. I was gifted an older Mac and use it mainly. I also have this windows computer that I use less often. He thinks he should have it because I don't use as often. But, he has at LEAST 3 computers. I always feel like I have to covet everything I own because I feel like he'll try to take it from me. I need that windows computer so I can listen to my tapes for my language studies. My dad is definitely the big dog in my house and no one really opposes him, cause when you do, he gets MAD. I just wanna HAVE THINGS without him feeling entitled to own it. How do I tell him no?

Question: Why does the media say Ted Bundys daughter went in hiding ?

Posted: 09 May 2019 10:48 AM PDT

She really didn't she lived in the Florida keys her whole life went to Key West High with my oldest sister they knew each other. Just because you aren't doing interviews on the Ellen show in front of a National crowd doesn't mean you are hiding. If you're in some type of witness protection program or hiding the Keys isn't exactly a good idea. Everyone who knew Rosa personally knew she was Teds daughter and she never denied it, even though she didn't use the last name Bundy in my sisters 2001 yearbook she spoke open about being his daughter when asked of course no one really cared because the Chi Omega murders happened in Florida long ago in the 70s people had long left it in the past plus Rosa was sweet and good hearted people got along with her. It was not her fault her dad was a sociopath .

Question: Is this grandpa weird?

Posted: 09 May 2019 10:43 AM PDT

Yesterday my 2 year old was playing with her dolls and she said, "I'm going to kill the girls" (meaning the dolls she was playing with. I was so shocked and asked her where she'd heard those words. She then said 'grandpa is going to kill the bee'. Her grandpa is always saying things like 'I'm going to kill that spider', 'look, I killed the bee' to her. There was also a time when my daughter randomly said 'manslaughter' and I found out he'd been watching some graphic crime show while watching her, which really angered me. Additionally whenever he catches a mouse while we are at his home, he comes to show her it? What is up with this behaviour? Is is highly unusual? I want to stop her from seeing him because I find it disgusting but am I being too sensitive??? This is the same grandpa who acts like spending time with my daughter is a huge chore, and would rather stay glued to his phone or to the tv. And if age matters he hasn't even reached 60 years old yet.

Question: My best friend of many years started saying “i love you” at the end of our conversations now, why?

Posted: 09 May 2019 09:23 AM PDT

I love my dear friend, she is my world. I often tell her i love her and she will say it back quickly. Shes a reserved person who doesn't show much affection mych. Although recently she has started to say it first, and even after our phone calls before we say goodbye. I love it just as much as i love her don't get me wrong, but why has she started doing that?

Question: My dad's girlfriend is here every single day, my dad forces me and my brother to like her and socialise with her. And I hate her. Help!?

Posted: 09 May 2019 08:29 AM PDT

So, two years ago my dad cheated on my mum and me and my brother knew and dad told me not to tell her etc etc. Two years down the line, my mum is living in a cottage with my three dogs, and me and my dad and brother are living in our house we all used to live in. Now this woman my dad cheated on my mum with has been on and off with my dad for ages. They recently just got back together and for three weeks now she has been in my house every single day, even bringing her friends round like its her own home, and her dog which my dad literally would never let me do! She is absolutely mental and full of ****, a few months ago she stole £500 of my dad and it went towards weed. And he is back with her again. A few weeks ago after her and my dad had fell out, her horses stay at my boyfriends dads farm, and she kicked off very badly at my brother saying that "you sponges off your dad", "you're lazy" (bearing in mind this woman is on benefits, doesn't work and has been for years) and she also said to him "my weeds better than yours" (immature af I know). I finally got hold of my dad about this, and he said to stay away from her. Went to see my mum the following day and told her what happened and she text my dad saying "please sort her out, she doesn't have the right to talk to my kids that way etc" and he replied with "its nothing to do with me"...um are you foreal? (Ran out of space so will put the rest in the comments)

Question: What should I do if I’m worried about my autistic 17 year old dating someday?

Posted: 09 May 2019 08:17 AM PDT

My daughter isn't interested in boys right now, but it can change in the future. She is able to make friends and do 'normal' activities without help. Although people don't notice it much, she is still socially immature compared to most 17 year olds and she is more like a 14 year old instead. That makes her extra vulnerable to predators and master manipulators. Me and her dad have to let her grow up, whether we like it or not. She's already in 11th grade at school, and graduates in a year.

Question: My best friend of many years started saying “i love you” at the end of our conversations now, why?

Question: Is my stepfather a good person?

Posted: 09 May 2019 07:06 AM PDT

I won't mention how he and my mom met to make this more about his personality. He has been together with my mom for 8 or 9 years. I have a sister who is 4 years younger (i'm 19 now) both of is have always been polite to him by saying 'hi' and 'good bye'. Our conversations have never gone beyond that. We have never done anything to seem like we hate him. He has never done anything to establish a relationship with us despite the fact that we live together for more than a year now. He is very unpolite, he never says please or thank you when talking to my mom. He won't say 'hi' to one of us at times (when it is obvious). One day when I didn't realze he was sitting in the dining room (I just woke up) and didn't say hi. Next time I saw him walk into the room where I was I said Hi (despite the fact that he should've said hi) and he asked if I was 'normal' and why I say hi two hours after. He said I you dont want to just dont say hi. One day he called my dad to insult him for no reason (to a different country). He goes to parties every weekend and always drives home with some level of alcohol. (seriously thinking of calling the police for this reason). The good: He gives my sister ride to school when she misses the bus bc she has no option. He taught her how to drive once and then never agoin (sounds unnatural as if ky mom asked him)

Question: My mom is being selfish?

Posted: 09 May 2019 06:40 AM PDT

So I am 13. My sister is graduating college so the family is coming to celebrate. My family has 4 bedrooms and one trindle bed (basically a bed you pull out) under my sisters bedroom. My sister and her husband are sleeping in her room. My other sister is in her room. My dad is in his room. My mom doesn't want to sleep with my dad because he snores and literally EVERYTHING wakes my mom up. She wants to pull out the trindle bed and sleep in the living room, and wants me to sleep in my room. I said I want the trindle, because I want to sleep in the living room, she likes my room, and she doesn't even like the trindle or living room. She says that she won't let me have the trindle. No matter how much begging I did. I asked why, and she gave "because I said so" excuse. Then I said that's not good enough, so I finally payed her to tell me why, and she said "because I don't want the sun to wake you up." What. The. Hell? Since when did she care if the sun woke me up. I like being woken up early by the sun anyways, since I am trying to lose sleep so that way I don't grow too tall (various reasons I don't want to be tall, that's another story). She was being so selfish about it. She then yelled and had her anger issue tantrums. She said "you need therapy! A NORMAL KID WOULD ****ING LISTEN TO HIS MOTHER!!!!" I said not if you're being selfish as hell. She said "thanks a lot for ruining my day" and I said "whatever." I will try to talk to her after school. What should I do for now?

Posted: 09 May 2019 05:51 AM PDT

Question: Would it be lame for a 15 year old to go to the renaissance fair?

Posted: 09 May 2019 03:47 AM PDT

I kinda wanted to go because I have such fond memories of it when I was younger but it would just be me, my mom, sister, and dad. They're all over the age of 18 and I don't have any younger siblings.

Question: Are my brothers in pain?

Posted: 09 May 2019 02:52 AM PDT

Seriously, I feel like my brothers are drifting from me and my mom. My mom and dad divorced a few years ago due to mom cheating on my dad for another woman. She doesn't neglect us at all and I actually understand why she cheated. She was living a lie. Then after the divorce my mom finally seemed happy with her new wife. They got married, but my older brothers weren't exactly happy about that. My stepmom took us out of the bad areas in South Los Angeles and she actually cares about us. My brothers have moved out with my grandparents and they continuously call me a traitor, that I don't care about my dad at all and that I'm disgusting for supporting my mom's "bullsh*t wedding". They keep fighting and fighting with my mom calling her wife homophobic slurs and EVEN ranting about wanting to "get revenge". They feel like as if their childhood was robbed from them. My oldest brother suffers from depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and has alot of rage. My twin is very impulsive and quick to fight. My dad isn't exactly living well and he lives with his friends that he works with. Last time we hung out with him was 3 months ago and they want to see him more. They said they want NOTHING to do with my mom and that her wife is the cause of all their problems and that they wish for my mom and stepmom to suffer. They have had a few fights with my mom and they have even threatened to kill my stepmom for the pain they feel. They say they feel alone and I'm honestly really scared and I need help.

Question: My Mother in law wants a relationship with my father!!!!!!?

Posted: 09 May 2019 02:35 AM PDT

so to make long story short me and my father have a weird long relationship. he was abusive towards my mom and has never been there for me at all. The world surrounds around him and its all about him. Well now im 30 grown woman and have come in terms of forgiveness and maintain some sort of relationship with him which it is still a one way relationship!! he still only cares about himself but oh well lol.... And now my crazy mother in law is here visiting my dad at his state and i guess likes him. I have always kept my dad in this box away from me where we speak but he cant mess me up or come to my space and her getting in this makes him come closer to my life which i do not want. i feel like shes invading a space i been keeping under control for years. i know their grown but come on it had to be with my dad!! And she knows the whole past story which its even more crazier to me. i honestly cant look at her the same way. i thought she cared about me.... But i guess she dont give a **** about me.

Question: Am I being mentally abused or am i just thin skinned? ( story in details)?

Posted: 09 May 2019 12:44 AM PDT

Long story short, I'm 25 and am on my last year for Business Graduate School and live with parents. My parents constantly make fun of my weight gain, tell me how hard it is going to live on own, how hard the job market is, tell me my dream of becoming a successful singer are not going to happen ever, call me dumby. Am i being mentally abused or am i just thin skinned?

Question: What could be making my parents worry about who my 17 year old sister sits next to at movie theatres?

Posted: 08 May 2019 10:50 PM PDT

I'm a 14 year old boy, and my sister is in 11th grade. We go out as a family for movies. If there's any strangers (especially older men, I notice) are sitting near us, my parents will insist that I switch seats with my sister. Me or one of my parents are usually sitting beside strangers, while my sister sits between us or in the corner with no one beside her.

Question: My mom is in a relationship with a bad person?

Posted: 08 May 2019 10:04 PM PDT

Me my mom and sister(4 years younger) moved to the US 9 years ago (I'm 19). Since we came, the plan was for my mom to work and help my dad come. Less than a year after, my mom was dating a guy (10 years older) and told us not to tell my dad, I did so not thinking it was wrong (I was a kid). About 4 year after, she was still with him and I didn't want to tell dad in hopes that she will be back with him. Until my sister who said she knew happened and told my dad everything. For me, getting in a relationship with someone who is married already says a lot about him (not saying mom is not at fault). I grew up hating him for taking the place of my dad, but as I matured, I decided not to hate anyone and even moved with him. He has never attempted to establish a relationship with us (me and my sister). From my point of view, I don't think I should be the one interested in establishing a relationship with him, please tell me if I'm wrong. I have never done anything to say that I don't want to get along with him. We even go out to eat (4 of us) and sit at the dining table. We never cross words, once again, I shouldn't be the one who takes any initiative. Also, why would I sit with him if I wanted the opposite? He has 2 kids (20 something years old each) and sees them about once a month. I think my mom is with him because he pays everything for her. She only works 4 hours a day does nothing the rest of the day. What should I do to make my mom realize that he is not a good person?

Question: How can I stop my parents from arguing?

Posted: 08 May 2019 10:00 PM PDT

Please don't answer with "Talk it out with them." or "You can't make them stop." I tried talking with them and they argued for a whole day blaming the other for starting arguments. I also tried talking to them separately and it ranged from them arguing, them telling me that they "Won't let your father or mother think their right!" or "Why don't you tell your mother or father to stop being stubborn if it bothers you so much?" I need a way to make them stop. Methods that have worked so far is not talking with them unless I absolutely have to (ANY topic can become an argument so avoiding conversations adds less moments of either of them conversing that can cause a disagreement). Another is doing things around the house that cause fights. If one of them forgot to do something or pick up something I'll do it discreetly so they just think the other did it for them. Things such as cleaning, shopping, changing a light bulb, nearly anything. They fight about money a lot too (we aren't poor my mom is just obsessive about money issues and will work herself up to the point of not understanding what is being said to here and she'll start yelling based on mixed up money amounts she has in her head). I'm trying to get working papers so I can work part time and get money to try and sneak into their wallets when their out to slowly add money to what they have or buy things around the house so they have less to spend on. Any suggestions beyond this?

Question: How do I get my 10 year old son to quit bullying his 12 year old sister for being adopted?

Posted: 08 May 2019 09:22 PM PDT

My son likes to insult and tease his sister any chance he gets. Sometimes, his words are very hurtful. He tells my adopted daughter that her "real parents" hated her, she's ugly, no one wants her, and that she doesn't actually have a family. I observe my daughter trying to ignore him, but she gets all quiet and looks hurt. Our family keeps in contact with her biological mom, and she knows it isn't true. The woman who gave birth to her couldn't take care of her, and she's told our daughter that herself.

Question: Child abuse?

How does it make you feel? How about hearing stories? Overall how does it make you feel

Question: Is an online english course a good mother's day gift?

Posted: 08 May 2019 09:10 PM PDT

I moved with my mom to the USA 9 years ago. Since then, my mom has been working cleaning office buildings. She has met someone (stepdad technically) who really doesn't push her to achieve anything and pays for everything she needs. Up to today she knows no english (absolutely nothing) and she still depends on me, despite the fact that I'm 2 hours away from home in college, to do any type of errands over the phone, filling documents, emails, etc. What really bugs me is that she works only 4 hours a day and other than that, she only sleeps and visits family for nothing in particular. She depends on government money for a bunch of 'aids' and I don't think that's what someone who immigrates to this country is supposed to do, specially after 9 years and working only 4 hours a day. She is 45 years old and I think she should take advantage of all the help she has and study anything she likes, starting from english. When I mention this to her, she takes studying or working more as a bad thing and gets mad at me. I thought an online english course would show her how much I care and want her to strive for more. I got her to sign up for ESL classes at a community college for a 4 month period, but she dropped after 2 months. She says that she can't learn if the classes are given in english. She doesn't understand anything the teacher is saying.

Question: How to convince my mom to let me drink at home?

Posted: 08 May 2019 08:46 PM PDT

I'm 17 close to 18 but my mom won't even let me have a sip of booze. It's not about me being under 21, she just thinks I'm gonna get addicted to it and become an alcoholic. How do I convince her I'm responsible enough to handle alcohol.

Question: All I want to know is if my mom seems done for sure? She told me in the passed, also she is sad about being 44 & not living life. Need peace?

Posted: 08 May 2019 08:17 PM PDT

My mom is 44 I'm 16 I have 2 younger sisters 10-8. My last sister was unexpected, due to that my parents didn't sleep with each other for almost 4 yrs. My mom didn't want to go on birth control & was afraid of using just condom. There was a time where things became crazy I ran from home for a bit I don't know if during that time my dad got a vasectomy but he works doing floors picking up heavy stuff everyday, he's also into being natural so I don't think he did, my mom isn't on any form of birth control only condoms that aren't use all the time, she doesn't track her cycles & didn't get her tubs tied. Once few yrs ago I know my mom left the computer on female condom, now all I know is the condom box isn't always use, last time he bought the box was a year ago. Last time I look it was use but the time before it wasn't for awhile, no more now. My mom is in early menopause. The beginning she was getting scared even tho I told her what it could be so I ask her if she thinks shes pregnant she said "are you crazy". Now my uncle mess around with me saying my grandma did tarot cards it showed my mom is going to have another kid & I'll be stuck again. My mom saw my face she said "you believe him, how'll you be stuck? Why would I have a kid near 50". I said maybe it be surprise she said "stooop" she said she was told she had her last kid. She said maybe you. She kept asking to make sure it was maybe for the baby she miscarriage yrs ago. Btw my mom knows she can still get pregnant

Question: Should this woman forgive her abusive mother now that she's an adult?

Posted: 08 May 2019 08:12 PM PDT

A friend of mine grew up in a physically/emotionally abusive home where she was hit nearly every day of her life. Her mom was mean, abusive and cold. She felt that her mother hated her and her treatment was worse than her other siblings. Her mother consistently called her ugly and fat. She developed a severe eating disorder and for 12 years let it destroy her life. Years later her mom tries to be nice now. Her mom has never apologized but she seems to be a better person now. She is a wonderful grandmother to her other children's kids, attends church and is trying to live a better life. Is this woman obligated to forgive her mother now? Is that what she needs to do? Should she make peace, forgive and forget everything that happened? She feels sorry for her mother who is aging but also resentment for how she treated her for many, many years when she was younger.

Question: Can someone help me? My mom is addicted to my toxic alcoholic brother.?

Posted: 08 May 2019 07:55 PM PDT

My mom keeps on enabling my 30 year old alcholic brother. She keeps on letting him move back in for free no matter how many times he messes up. He talks **** about her too behind her back and she knows it which is the messed up part. She s literally addicted to him, no matter how many times he ***** her over she s all nice to him again without any consequences. The worst part is that I have to live with this. I m fed up. I ve tried telling her numerous times that I m fed up but she doesn t care. What should I do?

Question: What causes children to bully others?

Posted: 08 May 2019 07:20 PM PDT

I've met a few very young kids who claim that bullying is funny or relieves boredom. Something is wrong with their mindset, because a person usually develops empathy by the time they're 2 years old. What makes some kids NOT develop those empathy skills, and go on to bully instead?

Question: My sister wants me to babysit my nephew, I haven't done it months - Should I babysit my nephew after what happened the other day?

Posted: 08 May 2019 06:35 PM PDT

I've always been called a cool uncle. I've been babysitting my nephew since he was born. My nephew is now 8. I wasn't present at the conversation. But apparently, my nephew told my sister about this sex video that he saw. My sister, inmediately got angry, and demanded him to tell her where he saw that. My nephew told my sister that I showed him that video. My sister came to me all angry and confrontational because I supposedly showed my nephew a sex video. I got angry, and told her how dare she even consider that were true. A few days later, my sister apologized, and told me that my nephew confessed that it was a kid in his school that showed him the video on his tablet. My sister keeps asking to babysit my nephew, but I refuse too. I still can't believe that after all these years of me taking care of him, she didn't even give me the benefit of the doubt. Would you babysit my nephew if you were in my position?

Question: How can I protect him from his sister??

Posted: 08 May 2019 06:29 PM PDT

My daughter (27) has been abusing drugs since she was like 16y/o and has been spiraling further into these reckless behaviors. Recently, she has come back into our lives on the pretext that she was clean and recovering. My son (15) jas gotten very attached to her and obviously looks up to her but she has been involving him in things that are hightly inappropriate. I'm almost certain she has introduced him to drugs because his behavior, mood and grades have all suddenly changed and he's been getting into more trouble than usual. She's staying with her boyfriend and I know my son has been going over there without permission. We have asked her not to have him over there, and have told him not to go but they both haven't been obeying that. She does no wrong in his eyes and despite us giving her multiple chances she is breaking our rules and laws and involving him. They are both scheming to get into each other together, I'm pretty sure they've been stealing together but I haven't been able to catch them red-handed. She lives nearby so how can I put an end to this???

Question: Why do I not want to be around anyone or trust anyone?

I think all people are fake and just are trying to use me. My family really does love me but I went through some stuff. There was some neglect but also followed by love and support. My single mom tried her hardest. Along with that I did the big brother and sister program. There were many times my " big brother"( I had 4) from the program would say he's on his way and then not show up for over 4 hours. I'm not reliable because I feel I can't rely on anyone. I feel like bojack horseman even though my life hasn't really been that rough. It was a lot of emotional negativity caused to me but that's it. My real brother was my father figure but growing up he went through a heavy party faze along with selling drugs. He would hit me and make fun of me. Even my penis. He would attack me on every level and then come home super drunk and throw up and I'd lay on the floor with him and his bucket of vomit till the next morning. I feel i answered my question. But I don't really think I went through enough to be how iam. And if someone says w all have our own sensitivity levels well then my question is why am I such a pussy?

Question: How do I deal with my dad who suspects things and judges people based on absolutely nothing?

It's like everything is a conspiracy. For example his girlfriend hurt her back at work and he thinks that she's faking it and trying to get on disability. She had to have surgery and he still thinks she faking it and that the doctors are in on it. It's absolutely insane and he because he believes it it makes it 100 percent true. He also suspects things about me that's not true at all. What can I do? How do I convince him it's in his head. Even with proof he still believes what he wants to believe.

Question: Can my co-worker get into legal trouble for letting her 13 yr old skip school on a daily basis, and go wherever she wants at anytime?

I normally don't get involved with other parents' business, but this one worries me. Any 13 year old can be in danger if their parents don't know where they are. My coworker mentioned about the school calling her everyday to inform that her daughter is not at school. She complained it's getting "annoying" and hung up. The same woman casually said that her daughter is rarely ever home and she never sees her (in another conversation from weeks ago). I didn't think much of it at first. It's become clear that her 13 year old skips school to go to wherever then doesn't return home much, and her mom isn't worried.

Question: My sister is draining my mother of her money?

Posted: 08 May 2019 04:20 PM PDT

Ok so my sister is 22 about to turn 23 in August. She went to college and dropped out and since then, has become a complete leech. My mother (and father) have worked their butts off to attain wealth after being near poor 5 years back. Now they have a significant amount of money. My sister is taking advantage of that. When she was 21, she told me she was pregnant. She got knocked up after a one night stand. Well at first my mother was resentful towards my sister because she viewed it as if she threw her life away. Now after she had the baby, it's the polar opposite. My mother has poured so much love and money into that baby, an amount easily reaching $20K and she's not even 1 yet. Well, anyways she also manages to pay my sister's rent, bought her a brand new Ford Explorer (fully loaded edition mind you), tons of Amazon orders of unnecessary things. But here's the one that really gets me... my sister now wants a house. A whole damn house. She claims that its "because of the schools" and "****** needs a backyard to play in." She's not even 12 months! I get that you want to plan for the future but she cant even afford it! And what also gets on my nerves is when my sister claims to be a "single mom" and that she has to do "everything on her own" when that's just not the case. What my question is here, I don't want to see my mom drop $400K on a new mortgage and put herself in the hole. What can I say that will make her change her mind?

Question: My stepdad has been controlling and micromanaging my life ever since I was a kid. He treats like a real son and I hate it?

Question: How can I submit recorded phone calls to the courts?

Posted: 08 May 2019 03:55 PM PDT

My son's mother is always talking bad about me to my son on my phone or about my family. She is only allowed to see my son twice a month and she is allowed phone calls. I have started recording my phone calls through an app, but the judge said that he doesn't want us recording anyting. She has ruined my son's birthday surprise over the phone, she mentally abuses my son and makes him feel bad about himself. She tries to give him the guilt trip because he likes living with me, she tries to tell him to not call me dad. She tells him that his school sucks but I cannot prove it in court because she denies everything & It is all considered hearsay. I still recorded phone calls through an app, how can I submit them to the courts to prove she is lying about how she speaks to my son and what she tells my son over the phone?

Question: My fiance is getting really fat and lazy and bloated lately also a pot head?

She no longer helps clean the house or her room, or help run errands. She looks hideous to me and Im not sure she's some one I want to be with in the long run. Im tired of the second hand smoke and seeing her room so messy. She's a hoarder and much older. I feel like we don't have fun together anymore and she's not very goal.oriented or motivating I feel like if I had money to leave I would because I'm stuck in this dead end small town and am poor.
