Im 14 and have 3 younger sisters and they are 8, 10, and 12. My parents fight with each other and then take it out on us. Not physically but im worried it might turn into that. My sisters are scared and hate home life. What do i do?

Okay, so here's what you need to know: When I was being collected today, my sibling called and explained that our neighbour, who we had been renting out to, had knocked on the door and said that she and her husband had gotten into a fight, and asked if she could stay there because she was scared. My mother assured them we'd be home in five minutes before calling my aunt to talk about what she was going to say. It was quickly decided that she would get out neighbor to leave our house. This alone made me REALLY uncomfortable, as both me and my mom had heard the sound of breaking china earlier when we were out near the front of our house. But then my aunt started saying things like 'she made her bed, she has to lie in it' and, instead of disagreeing, my mom AGREED with the sentiment, adding that she would tell her she wouldn't feel comfortable allowing her kids in that enviornment.. Here's the thing, I can understand where mom is coming from, our houses are side by side and she's scared one of us may get hurt. But isn't this victim blaming? I told my other sibling but upon finding out I was talking about mom, they immediately took her side. I can't tell if they're just putting mom on a pedestal again or actually believe it If you had kids, and someone came up to your door because they were scared of their husband, what would you do? Oh, and also the woman is from a different country, so no, she could not stay with family, and she also has kids.

I notice in popular media, the mother is usually more of a protagonist then the father, and more often the father is an antagonist as well. And in songs I hear them mention their "mama" in a positive manner all the time, while I rarely hear a "papa". This makes me think that mothers are much more loved, and, frankly, I don't get it. I love my father a lot. My mother too, but, admittedly, I like my dad more. (Also, I'm not trolling, don't report please, I've gotten suspended for no reason way too many times.)

Withoit going into details... my wife (36 years old) passed away 3 weeks ago and left me and my 3 months old baby. Now I'm stating at my in laws place, my job is in a different country, I have taken 2 months off till I figure out what to do. I'm not sure if I will return back to work or take more time off to focus on my baby. Sis in law offered to help me with the baby for as many years as required. She is single. She even offered to move with me to any country though this is not at all ideal as she takes care of her aged parents. My sis also offered to help me taking care of the baby but she has 3 kids of her own and her hands are quite full. My mom also offered to help but she is old and I don't really think she can do it. Last option is single parent. My sis law asked me to quit my job and try to look for a job here so that she can help raising the baby and look after her parents. My job is quite specific and may not be easy to find a job especially as an expat. My sis in law is nice and we share good relationship, but we also had few heated arguments in the past. I'm not sure what would be the best option for the baby, I don't want to change every now and then as I would like him to grow connection to some one who plays the role of his mother. Do I talk to child psychologist or what do you advise?

My mom and fiancé literally bump heads on everything . So I brought my fiancé home to my moms house to stay for the weekend before exam week in college , she met her for the first time and they did not get along from the start. My fiancé was doing her best to be nice but my mom just treated her very cold not insulting but not very welcoming and she's never been this way towards my ex girlfriends in high school . I hate to think this is the reason but my fiancé is African American and I'm White my moms never been racist at all but I don't know what to do . At this point I'm thinking about cutting my mom completely out of my life .

My son who is 13 came home after sneaking out over night this past weekend and he is almost completely covered in bruises. We were so concerned that we took him to the hospital to check for any broken bones or other injuries. His clothes were immaculate but is body from the neck down was all bruised up like I'd imagine someone who'd been hit by a car. Till this day, after asking him over and over about what happened he refuses to answer us. That of course raised some red flags at the hospital but he wouldn't even talk to the doctors or the police. Yes, he was battered enough that the doctors were forced to call the police "as a precaution" which I get. That turned into a huge ordeal which is fine I get why they do it but it got us no where. He just keeps saying "it's no big deal", "dont worry about it", "leave me alone about it" not like he's embarrassed or anything but more like he's hiding something. At this point I just wanna know what happened so it doesnt happen again and he's giving us nothing. Any tips on what to do?

It may seem like a strange question I know. But if you are lets say 25 or something or at least 18, and your mom marries a man who is not your father, is he technically your step dad? Or is he just the husband of your mother? Are his children your step siblings or just your moms husbands kids? If the children are under 18 and you are over 18, are you their step sibling but they aren't yours? I know this probably makes zero sense, im sorry.

my daddy likes being naked and shooting brown substance out of his rear end like a mahcine gune. i like his crap on my tongue lick lick. IT S LIKE A SCISSOR TO THE KOCK, I WISH I COULD DRIVE OVER MY DAD IWTH A BAZOOKA GUN

My mom's mom was 57. She is now 74 My mom's dad was 4 days shy of 56, he is now 73 My mom's maternal grandma was 83. She died at 96 My dad's mom was a week shy of 54. She is now 71. My dad's dad was 59. He is now 77. My dad's maternal grandma was 79. She died at 84 My dad's maternal grandpa was 90 and died 6 months after that at 91. And my dad's paternal grandma was 99, and lived to be 105.

In October of last year, my family was struck with an unthinkable tragedy: The tragic and unexpected death of my brother. Ever since then my family and I have been doing nothing but fighting, arguing and just being distant. Ever since my brothers death, I have tried and tried and tried to be closer with my family but they are not having any of it. I just can't seem to do anything without getting yelled that or told what I'm doing wrong. My mom also has plenty of time for my sisters but when I want to talk about how I am feeling she is either too busy or just doesn't care. She even said to my face one day that she doesn't care how I feel. And ever since then my family and I have been doing nothing but fighting, arguing and just being distant.

My mom also have plenty of time for my sisters but when I want to talk about how I'm feeling she is either too busy or just doesn't care.

And when I tried to talk to my mom about it she just acted like she didn't care as usual. I thought that a death in the family would bring the family closer together but all this has done was tear my family apart. All I want is to be able to talk to my family without fighting but they have shown nothing but resentment towards me.

Latch key kids get into all sorts of mischief in public that their folks know nothing about. When a latch key kid causes trouble in public, the biggest frustration is not knowing who they are and how to contact their parents.

I logged onto the computer while her Facebook was open and when I went to click and read the messages she immediately shut off the computer and unplugged it. I was able to make out a couple of sentences before the computer shut off. She was talking to her boyfriend but it was hard to remember as she shut off the computer so fast. She tried to grab the mouse from me as well but I told her to stop because I wanted to read the messages. She told me it was her personal buisness and she didn't want me seeing any messages. I feel like she is in trouble and is hiding something big. It has to be major for her to shut off the computer like that. I called my son to cut the computer on for me and he cut the computer back on but he faced the monitor in the opposite direction and I said to him " I can look at what I want. It's my house" and my son said " you wouldn't want someone looking at your private messages. You're so nosy and invasive. She's grown so don't be surprised if you see some naked pictures or something you don't wanna see for being nosy." My daughter is very sneaky, I don't like this sneaky behavior from her.

When I was a kid in grammar school and high school, I always struggled academically. My aunt and uncle on both my mother and father's side used to look down on me because of my faults and struggles with my grades. But when I got to college, I managed to work very hard, get a good GPA and then graduate and now have a good job. Instead of my family finally being happy for me that I'm finally doing well, they seem to be more angry than ever as if they are suddenly envious of my success. My mother and father are very proud of me, by the way. It's just my aunt and uncle that seem to not be happy. I can't seem to win with my family. Why is that?

We tried a home with one cat whose on diet because of a disability she has. I was thinking of taking them to pound . It's a kill shelter but a chance at adoption. The local non kill shelter won't take them. It also gives me chance to move some we're after retreat . But I don't want the karma of their death nor do I want the zen center to know

Because only when you're young...or to some extent, middle-aged...only then can you ENJOY being rich, and use your money for SO MUCH fun.. and to invest it to make even more money later on. But if someone's already old when they get rich the first time, then it's useless...old people can't enjoy too much with a lot of money - what are they going to do with it? They'll probably donate the money or write it off as inheritance money for their kids... They can't even invest it somewhere because they have no use of multiplying that money for "later" as they're already so old

I'm 19. My dad started his own landscape company not to long ago. Right now me and him are the only people working in the company. Our family isn't doing the best money wise. Tbh were stifling pretty hard. I don't want him to pay me for working with him. My parents offer to pay me but I hear them talking all the time about how we barley have money to pay bills or rent. So honestly if I made them pay me for working I would feel so bad. I would feel like I'm robbing my parents. It's just hard for me cause last year I was working for my brother in law. About 5 hour days and making $125 a day. I quit that job. Now I'm working with my dad. Doing much harder work, working 6-7 hour days and really getting paid nothing. I'm doing this for my dad not the money though. But it's damn hard to work my *** off and not have money in my wallet when I know I could be making $100 + a day

I know some people they enjoy hurting their parents and they abandon them, I know one of my relatives she abandon her mom when her mom was very sick while her siblings took care of her.

Before, people use to greet each other and say hello. Now people dont bother to say hi or ask how you feel

My family and I had just got back home from church and a man I recognized from church (John, M 40s) knocked on our door. My Grandmother didn't know him and John said that he wanted to talk to my Grandma about my sisters behavior (she was talking during the lesson) it was getting late and Grandma said she was too tired but please come tomorrow. Even after John agreed he tried to force his way in our house and Grandma tried to shut the door but not before John punched my grandma in the face twice !!! My room is on the other side of the house and I was asleep so I didn't hear the commotion until it was too late thankfully my sister was close by and showed me what happened (She recorded the whole thing) not long after John came back tried doing the same thing then punched my grandma 3 more times and my grandma started screaming for me (was asleep again) while my sister was screaming for John to leave while recording. I gave this man a warning to apologise to my grandma then leave but he wouldn't do it....so I kinda messed up his wrist as much as I could gave him a bloody nose then made him apologize before he drove away(I study Martial Arts). Despite the fact that I was defending my grandma (whose face is brusied on both sides btw) and having evidence I found out that I have been asked to leave the church because of this incident.......what did I do wrong ??????

my bro is 28 years old. I am 16 years old. my dad is 60 years old. my mom 47 years old. whenever my mom says something to my brother he hits her which is really wrong. and recently threatens my dad too.he is scared of him and does everything he says. I really hate this. if I was the oldest and tallest in the home then everyone was intimidated by me not that asshole. I feel pathetic when I let myself act scared or submissive to that asshole. its all out of random. I could be bigger than him. don't bother answering this .tell me what it was in your family and how you felt

My brother girlfriend has been very disrespectful to me and my grandma she slammed the door in my grandma faced she also lied about everything I would get blamed for little things that my brother girlfriend does she leaves dishes in the sink I get yelled at, she (brother girlfriend)also went off on me because I turned the hallway light on she said she was getting tired of me turning on the hallway light she said it was shingling through her door and a light can't she through ur door she lied about that. She also never cleans up the bathroom she leaves hair in the sink and i always have to end up cleaning it up. Recently my mom kicked her out cuz she slammed the door and broke it and lied she blamed my brother she also try to sucker punch me in the back of my head when I was walking Away and yet she lied about that and my mom ended up letting her live with us again. My mom told me she chooses my brother girlfriend over me. My brother had once told me life would be much better without me. My grandma and grandad they are hurt by everything they are scared to say something to my mom. My mom told me why don't I go live with my dad that would be the best Christmas present ever. I'm waiting for this job to call me back so I can save up and move out. My dad also changed his number on me and I don't know why he didn't tell me and his mom wouldn't give me his number at all. My mom told me she doesn't support at all. I am 22 years old. My grandad told me he doesn't like see me sad. My dad and my ex is the only two people that knows I'm depressed. I did tell my dad about everything that's going on in this household and he is very upset with my mom and my brother. I can't get into contact me with I don't even know where he lives. And my mom wants me to give her $200 a month so even if I want to move out I couldn't . She always told me I can't do something knowing I have a learning disability. My dad gave me his attorney number I don't know if I should call him ? My grandparents doesn't live with us they have there own house

My parents were are controlling. I wanted to get a loan (the same my other family members got) but they insisted they pay. My father was domineering and abusive, while my mother played into it, saying "Listen to your father" and "He loves you even though he's mean to you". At that time, we moved to a very difficult climate and environment. I was offered the choice of going with them, or being kicked out and being homeless. So what do you think any 18 year old would choose? Basically, I ended up going to around 6 different colleges. My parents controlled the money and so they chose where I went. I didn't like those colleges, and it was cheaper for me to go to the one college I wanted. They spent great sums of money to keep me under their control out there. They let me go to the one college I wanted to, but only for a year, and because it was so far away, they freaked. My mother wrecked my car coming home, ironically because she thought I wasn't capable of handling myself. So goodbye dreams. I have nothing to show from any of it. I've been jerked around, and other family members, even everyone else who never had their psychologically damaged parents control them Currently I'm trying to go to a college I wanted to go to (not the original one but it's away from them and puts me on a track like other family members did). It'll be the 3rd state I've went to college in. I'm struggling financially, so it's not like they actually ended up helping me with their controlling.

We spoke about our Disney World Trip and she decided to go with us. She decided that she would take her favorite bratty ungrateful grand-kid with her. She said that she would pay for half of the condo since the condo has two rooms. We booked and paid the condo $650 two months ago, her portion airfare ticket taxes already paid for her (we use her points to book tickets for her but we paid her taxes like $35", car rental was booked but I see no reimbursement whatsoever from the mother in law. Now the big thing is the Disney World tickets, 5 days for each person. We have three persons and she has to pay for two. If buy together would save total $200 instead of buying at Disney gate. However, I don't see the point of paying upfront and have to beg for reimbursement from mother-in-law or I may get "discounted money, means I won't receive everything as promised back." My husband seems not to understand my point. We had given hints to her several times about "tickets" but she remained silent. She ignored the chat. Here is what I have, what do you think?. Please share. I would suggest my husband that we will pay tickets for three of us at Disney and she will pay for her portion with her CC there.

Both of his parents are working overseas, and have been gone since he was 7 years old. They didn't take him along because he has more opportunities here (good education, safety, emotional support, etc). He visits them every 6 months during school breaks, but communicates via social media and phone too. I notice that he lies and refuses to listen to me. For instance, he'll secretly play on his iPad in his room when he's not supposed to, and throw his food away when I'm not looking. There's also incidents of him lying about drinking soda in his room, but I clearly see the bottle and stains. I've talked to him about lying so many times. I've explained how it's wrong to lie, and how it can affect him in the future (for instance, would people want to be friends with a liar? Would future employers hire someone who is caught lying a lot?). My nephew pretends he doesn't hear me. This is my first time dealing with a child like this! My son and daughter never had problems with lying and refusal to obey authority. School counsellor says it could stem from the fact that his parents aren't with him, and I wasn't the one raising him until later on in life.

Ok so when I do decide to go out ..... (home body) My husband feels he have to do something like he can't be at home without me it's sooo annoying. He will take our children and hang out until I get home I stay at home with the kids all the time by myself I have no issue is this Normay??

Background: this, morning my Mom told me that I cannot play video games until 6:30 pm or until after I eat dinner. She also said I need to finish some chemistry homework she gave me before I play. This afternoon, after I finish my homework, I go upstairs to tell her I'm done, to which she replies "go review some chemistry, but you can do whatever you want." It's past 6:30, so after some review I start playing video games. 15 minutes later, my mom comes down, rips my headphones off, and tells me I'm grounded. Her reasoning is that I'm a spoiled brat that does not contribute anything to the family (I'm a freshman in high school), I did not eat dinner yet, and that she didn't specifically say that I could play. My problem is, 1. It's past 6:30, if anything eating dinner now would leave me with less time to play, 2. Why is she freaking out about me playing for 15 minutes before dinner, and 3. My brother had been playing for about an hour this morning, how is fair he gets to play and I don't? (He had homework to do too). Pls help, idk what I should do.

ive been living with her since i was 12. she constantly hits me and beats me when she gets angry. she smashes my stuff and rips my school stuff up. i have bruises also

I am the oldest out of 3. My brother is a senior in high school. The problem is that he is a complete mess . I think his GPA is below a 2.5. He is doesn't do much around the house (chores), he doesn't clean up his own mess on a consistent basic, and he doesn't communicate much to anyone in the house except when he's asking my parents for money. I don't think my parents are doing him any favors when he gets bad grades and they still give him money and let him do stuff. Me and him don't get along and don't say much to each other I think its because I make him clean up after himself. I honestly tried to talk to him more but its hard to be nice when he constantly does something wrong and I have to tell him why its wrong. Like theres never a happy moment cause he constantly does dumb ****. Also he stole money from my parents multiple times and I'm talking over a $1000 dollars. His closet is full of shoes and sports clothing. It makes me angry every time I see his shoes cause he bought them all from the money he stole. I feel he needs to do everything he can to make up for stealing from his own parents. But no he goes back to slacking in school, doing nothing around the house, playing the ps4 all day. He also could of done this tutor program for school that gives you 2 years free at a community college and he didn't do it. I asked him why he said "idk". Now my parents has to pay thousand of dollars for him to go to community college when it could of been free. PLZ help.

My boyfriend's grandma was so excited to hear that I received a bid from XYZ sorority because it's the same sorority that she was in years ago. She gave my boyfriend her old engraved wine glass from this sorority and asked him to pass it along to me. I haven't had a chance to tell her that I decided to not pledge this sorority. How do I tell her and give the glass back without hurting her feelings?

Is it wrong to let my mom stay in a homeless shelter because I'm not forcing her to move in with me the reasons I don't want her to stay with me because we Do not get along at All we are always at each other's throat and plus she got us evicted from the place I grew up at when I was only 17 over not paying rent and bills all the utilities got cut of at Christmas time 2017 and on top of that she have a medical problem with her stomach and I still said no cause i honestly don't want her in my house whatsoever to be fair I've tried to call her sister and my aunt and they said no too i honestly don't think its fair for me to let her move in if we just not going to get along at all what should i do? Do i sound selfish ? Btw she has been at the homeless shelter for almost a year and I've been in my apartment for almost 5 months now some good answers would be appreciated thank you

she's only off twice a week but it's enough to drive me crazy. first of all, on her off days she never leaves the couch. she sits on the couch hogging the tv from morning until night over 12 hours. she doesn't even drive to go buy her lunch, she makes me go drive to get it. she acts like she doesn't want to work in all honestly. she talks about how she's basically retired already. I wouldn't mind her being home if she didn't complain so much. she complains about kids, about her job, about her family, about a tiny crumb on the floor. she complains about everything under the sun. she complains that our 18 year old son has been home for two weeks even though he is currently getting paper work situated for a new job. she told me " make him apply for jobs" over and over and I was like " he already has a job, quit nagging me about this." she even complains about our 23 year old son that's already moved out. I've just come to the conclusion that no matter how good or bad things are she will still never be happy. I was talking to my sister about this and she was like " your wife needs a hobby outside of the house or a second job. too much time on her hands." and I said " her hobby is watching tv for 16 hours straight." when our daughter was living here she was constantly getting into fights for her because she didn't like her cooking in our kitchen. also my wife invades people privacy I have caught her looking through mines and my son's phones and laptops .

My 8 year old talks about this one specific friend, whose parents apparently doesn't care what she sees or does. I don't know whether it's true or not. It feels like my daughter is trying to send indirect messages that we should be more like this family. Let's use video games as an example. She knows that me and her dad won't allow 13+ rated games, since therefore she's only 8. If video games ever come up in a normal conversation, she'll make it loud and clear that this other kid's parents have been allowing her to play it since she was 6 years old. Her dad didn't think much of it at first, and thought if a child guilt trips us, it's best to keep on enforcing the rules and ignore her (sometimes, when a child realizes that they won't get a reaction from the parent, they'll grow tired of it and stop). Seems like in this case, my daughter is focused on her classmate's parents.. what are some helpful tips to set her straight and verbally tell her that other people's families will not affect our parental decisions? Our girl has only been talking about this family for about two weeks, ever since she started spending lots of time with this friend at school and learned about her home life.

I currently live with my dad and have been since I was born. My mom used to live with us up until I was 14 and then she decided to leave without saying anything. We were extremely hurt. Fast forward 5 years, I found her on Facebook and we reconnected. My dad found out and lost his ****. Basically calling me ungrateful and stupid for letting her back in. But at the end of the day that's my mom and I understand her reason for leaving. Living with my dad stressed me the **** out and every time I mention moving out he resorts to threatening me with taking everything away. I work and go to school and help out whenever I can but recently he's been taking my money because his truck broke down and he can't afford to fix it. He brought his gf and her kid to move in with us without asking me first. She doesn't work and refuses to so it's literally just my dad paying for everything. Anyways my mom offered her place but she lives in a different state and it does sound better over there because I won't have the unnecessary stress. However I don't want to be seen as ungrateful to my dad. I'm so ******* stuck and don't know what to do.

I am the only one who makes my youngest son learn to do things himself (my husband, his dad, is working in a diff state right now). He has an extended family and a 17 year old sister. They treat him like a baby and spoil him too much. It's stunting his maturity level. My husband and I agree that it's not appropriate for an 11 year old to be treated like a 2 year old. For example, some family member will always insist on doing chores for him when I'm not there. They make his school lunch for him. Someone will want to walk to and from school with my son, and make him bring a jacket when it's warm too. I know that my son is capable of doing these things by himself.

I been with my husband for over 14 years I met him at 16 I have four children with him he has two seperate children outside of our marriage one was before we met the other one was inbetween our dating he cheated on me several times with his exwife and another couple females he says last time he cheated on me was over 6 years ago and I seem it hard to believe I be honest I have no trust in him for he didI been with my husband for over 14 years I met him at 16 have four children with him he has two seperate children outside of our marriage one was before we met the other one was inbetween our dating he cheated on me several times with his exwife and another couple females he says last time he cheated on me was over 6 years ago and I seem it hard to believe I be honest I have no trust in him for he did the sneakiest things on me I decided to forgive him because I already had kids with him and I did not want to start a new relationship n have seperate baby fathers or go thru the same within another Relationship I have truly devoted myself to work to him and the kids up until a couple years he always accused me of cheating on him and I actually did or more like tried to cheat on him cause I left in the middle if couldn't continue with it but I hadn't told him and I did burst it out of anger of so much accusing me so he put his hands on me the moment i told him I ended up also forgiving him for doing so with the excuse of saging he was too angry to think well

I am 21 and live with my dad. He is to overprotective and Sometimes I feel like I am being smothered. Everytime I try to have a social life like doing things on my own or try to make plans with friend he seems to always get upset.

please help,my little sister won't take her jacket off, it's filthy and i just don't know what to do, it smells like **** and when she sweats *and she sweats A LOT* it certainly doesn't make it any better, it's to the point she even uses it as a napkin it's been month since she's washed it and she still refuses to take it off, i'm being serious, does anyone know what to do?

today i walked into my son's room after dinner because he had forgotten his copy of mein kampf in the living room and when i entered the room my ears were assaulted by the sounds of ''Light My Fire'' by the Doors. How should I punish my son?
