I have a 19 year old son and a 15 year old daughter. They are both good kids and they do not give me any trouble. My son is VERY PROTECTIVE or his sister and she loves it. My daughter will go in my son's room on school nights for help with her homework. She is so comfortable with her brother that she sometimes wears very little clothing. Everything is visible. I talked to my son about what to do about this and he said to let her wear what she wants to wear. He said he would NEVER do anything sexual with his sister. He said "I am NOT into incest". Should I talk to my daughter about this or am I concerned for nothing?

Can someone explain sibling rivalry to me? I am an only child so that concept is totally foreign to me. My husband has 2 brothers and they always try to out do the other. If one get something, the other 2 try to get a bigger and/or a better or more expensive one. No matter what it is they will waste a lot of money trying to out do the other. This makes no sense to me. Why do they do that?

Hey guys! This is such a big deal for me because i am turning 17 in 2 months. I need too learn how to work for what I want, and too not be so clinged into my parents! I dont want to be unsuccessful because I was spoiled by my parents, and a majority of the time I am with my parents. I need to learn how to start being dependent, a hard worker, & I need to learn how too do things on my own. I should've done this at a young age, I don't know what happened, or why I wasn't raised too be independent like my older sister is, but I want to start now. I'm almost a senior now, I need to get it together but I don't know where too start. Any advice?

Both women are consumed with their hatred of the other. One started it and was consumed, now she is not as mad and the other is ow consumed with the fiery hatred. It consumes my mother who is trying to please her mother whom she fears by being nice to everyone in the family. So now my mother has to listen to both ***** about the other. Both women live in an abyss of hatred. Am I right to avoid both these women or since they are family is this immoral of me?

She is such a ***** and I tell her if she don't like it then don't look at it. She cannot accept that sex is what women are good for. How do I get her to cut it out. She is stealing from me. Do I call the cops on her?

So my mother has threatened to take my kid from me if I move out and take her with me. I hate living here because of her and I'm tight on money. What do I do?

Look at this couple

She is always going out and makes me watch my three year old and 12 year old sister.Yesterday night she went out with her bf and didn't come home until 4 in the monrning.She doesn't make time to spend time with my sisters she only makes time for him.She moved her bf in without even introducing him first so we have a stranger living with us.Two days ago my sister wanted sushi and she wanted to sit down in a restaurant and eat it but my mom claimed she was too tired so she just picked it up and brought it home and right away went outside to eat with her bf.She also was downstairs in his car talking until 12 am but claims she was too tired to sit down at a restaurant for my sisters to have family time without him.All her choices revolve around that guy and it's really annoying.What should I do ?

I am an administrative assistant/secretary and my husband is a bank teller. We bring home about 50k a year. How hard will it be raising kids on this salary?

By her I mean this aunt. It is a big family fight. My Mom's two sisters are on very bad terms. The one who insults my grandmother all the time is mad that my grandmother did not back her in her fight with this other sister. This other sister tends to divide people. So now both come to my Mom who is neutral to vent about the other. My mother used to play these games also and use me in them sometimes but my mother finally grew up around the age 50. Her two sisters have not. One of the brothers meanwhile keeps to himself and drinks with the other brother taking sides with one of the sisters over the other. So my Mom's sister who constantly bad mouths her mother (my grandmother), should I avoid this aunt? We have been real close to her over the years whereas not so much the other aunt but I would say both are being really toxic. The aunt I am closer to is the one who tries to vent about my grandmother to me. She claims it is a fight of good vs. evil. Should I avoid the once close aunt who is now crazy?

I want to forgive her but the anger keeps creeping back up. Due to her divorce she abused me by convincing me my Dad did not want me as means of getting him back. They now call that Parental Alienation Syndrome, when I was a kid it was just "believe what Mommy says". I hated my Mom for years when I was old enough to see through to her actions.I no longer feel that hatred as she has changed but still feel anger. It is like I hated her for as long as she hated my father and now feel anger but not hate like she feels towards my father now (she is no longer hateful as she is remarried to a pleasant fellow). So how do I get myself to forgive my mother who I hated for years and now don;t hate but feel anger still towards? NOTE.....As a kid I did not hate her until I was about 16 as I believed everything she was telling me about my father not wanting me or her. The part I hate the most is that much of my Dad's family missed out on knowing me and so now they are not nearly as close to me and while they are nice, they often don't include me since I am not in the family social circle in their eyes. This weekend I am feeling anger at my Mom as I have not seen some of my Dad's family since last winter and feel it is cause my Mom cost me the ability to be close to that many of them. My Dad died in 2015. I am now 41.

my parents, especially my mom, babies me a lot, and im already 15. she still talks to me in baby talk, she always asks if she can bathe me. even though i say no every time, she still asks and its really annoying. she also makes me hold her hand whenever we go out, its really embarrassing. and my bedtime is 8:30 every night. i'm also not allowed to sit in the front seat and my parents put parental controls on my phone and laptop. and when we go to restaurants, my mom usually orders for me, nor do they let me stay home alone. however, they always expect me to act like an adult. they make me do all the chores around the house, i have to take care of my younger siblings, and they also blame me when anything goes wrong. but my 12 year old sister doesn't get any of this. my parents treat her like an adult. she doesn't have parental controls, a bedtime, and she gets to ride in the front seat. whenever she gets in trouble, she blames it on me, and my parents actually believe her! she has a boyfriend, and they even kissed, but my parents don't care. but if i just talk to a guy my mom (who follows me to school) freaks out. what should i do about it? my parents say that i can't move out until i turn 30.

My sister owns a jewelry store and my daughter was getting married. They bought a ring from my sister's store for $2500.00. I asked at the time if she could trade it in if she.upgrade she yes.we arent rich My daughter has had the ring for 15 months. My sister called and said there was a man who came in the store and wanted to sell a bigger nicer ring for $4000. And my sister said she wasnt going to buy it. Offering it to my daughter to buy from him. My daughter was excited and asked if she could get the $2500 for her ring. She could afford to get a bigger better one for only $1500 more. My sister said oh I can only give you $900 for your ring. I texted my sister asking "only $900 is that right? "Then my daughters husband told his dad the story and his dad said you didnt get a good deal and now my sister is FURIOUS saying my daughter bad mouthed her good name. She said that's the end of any jewelry from me. This has escalated into a terrible ordeal. On a side note I borrowed $2000 from her a few mths ago and I didnt think that had anything to do w my daughter. Shes also got my daughter a nice wedding present of a gold heart necklace. Now shes over and over DEMANDING my daughter return the ring for a full refund My sister acts like shes cutting us out of her life. My mother is elderly and I don't want the family to be torn apart. Who's wrong? Is she wrong because she won't accept our sincere apologies. What can I do? I hate the family fighting it hurts so much..

Is it worth getting a sneaky DNA test to see if son is mine? Pretty sure he is but why not? Shouldn t all men have this option. I can get one from Canada .

I'm 13 going on 14 and i still sleep with my mom. I literally do not want to and we have two extra rooms. She is so overprotective and everytime i ask her if i can sleep in my own room, she always get like mad and defensive and it like you're gonna sleep with me till you're in college. i honestly think it's weird as heck. someone please tell me how i can convince her??

Last my dad burned me with a hot metal spoon to punish me. He wanted me to study and i wasn't feeling like. So he tried to coerce me to doing so.... By taking a metal spoon and heating it on the gas for over 2 minutes and then touching my leg with it and burning my skin in the process to punish me so that i start studying. This happened in front of my relatives and they all blamed me for the incident. They said i deserve it because i chose to do something else when i shouldve been studying. If i don't want to get punished again then i better start behaving exactly how my parents want me to.

i just can't stand my mom. i know i'm 15 and i may sound like i'm trying to be an edge lord and that's what people say when i bring this up but i don't know if i hate her because i'm a teenager who's trying to rebel or because she's actually a horrible person. she stresses me out and makes me so anxious to the point i start crying. i ALWAYS tell her where i am, who i am with, and what i am doing, and always come home when asked yet every time i go out she treats me like i'm lying! what's the point in being honest if she won't trust me in return. she claims to be being "protective" but it makes me feel guilty for nothing. she uses the same excuse: "my mom was stricter on me when i was young" whenever i complain and whenever i call her out on anything she goes off on me telling me that i'm "useless" and need to "stop the attitude" honestly she makes me feel really bad overall. i just wish it was my dad my sister and me. but i've only been having this problem recently (she used to yell at me a lot when i was young and hit me but besides that) and i don't know if it's because she's being a bad person or because i'm becoming a teenager and i'm grumpy and hormonal (i don't want to be like that). what do you think? i don't want to be the grumpy teenager who hates their mom to be cool lmao.

In my teen years it was simple just have fun and go to school. Now I'm growing up so fast I will be 18 soon. I'm afraid of being serious and I can't take things easy anymore or laugh. I need to make money and be wise with my time and productive. These days lots of pressure, and I know i will miss my childhood and teen years because now I have a lot of responsibilities.

So my mom and dad argue a lot, although my mom usually starts the argument. Even though my dad is pretty much the head of the family, taking many responsibilities, she still complains over how lazy he is (him watching lots of TV, not going out with her, etc), which is all kinda true. She claims that she is always mad at him because he is not giving her the attention that she wants. She also wants for him to care more for her than he does for his mom; she hates when his mom gets more attention than her. Also, she doesn't really like his mom because for the past 18 years, his mom hasn't respected her fully. I usually ignore the argument, saying that I'm neutral whenever asked who I support, but as a 15 year old, I feel like I need to do something. I think I might support my dad more than her, but who should I really support? Or what should I do to bring peace within my "lovely" family?

So im 20 and my mom( she is 40)his going to have another baby (its a boy). Should i consider him my brother? Because when he gets to my age (20 yo) im going to be 40. Its impossible for us to have a bond right?

Until today, I owned a 2010 Chevy Express 1500 with V6 engine. I own a rug washing company. Saturday is the biggest day for pick up :& delivery. More than Tues/Wed/Thurs combined. I have to pick up and deliver over $2,000 worth of work. My shop is a few doors down from where he buys his lottery tickets. He is 89. His car had had a bad short in the wiring harness for over a year. It starts, but nothing works, like lights, horn, etc.. He got a dishonest shop to give him an inspection sticker. He earns over $30kin pension. He owns his home outright. He's sitting on over $200 i cash & securities.He will not repair or replace the 2000 Toyota Avalon that burned up due to electrical short he insists parking next to my van every afternoon. He has hit my van a few times. Street parking at 45 degree angle.. Unloaded small extinguisher near my fuel lines and tank. Tires melted on one side. Paint gone. Mirror melted. Smoke damage inside. Don't know if I can repair it. Had to rent a 20' box truck almost 20 miles away because everything is sold out. With fuel and mileage, this is going to cost me over $500.. I am going to lose money for at least a week. My wife slams me for making $700:800 a week, but don't say a word to her father about how messed up I am. He has never offered a dime for all the problems he caused the past 30 years. Seriously? I shouldn't be mad? I should not worry when I struggle to pay bills because of this crap? The man is cheap to the point he is just sick.

How can I deal with a perverted and rude brother I feel really uncomfortable around him and I told my mom she did nothing about it he looks at me weird and he's violent and mean and I don't know what to do he once punched me before I told my mom and she did got mad at him but a few seconds later she acted like nothing happened I'm tired of him but sometimes he can be nice and I don't know what to do please give me some advice 🙏💓

So my mom has a favorite child he's 14 I'm 13 the thing is she spoils him with clothes and everything else that he wants. She even got a job so that she could pay for his gymnastics ( which is $2,000 a MONTH) I've asked many many MANY times if I could just learn how to play the piano and she always says," maybe, I'll think about it." And any time me and my brother argue he'll start to yell till my mom comes out of her room and when she does she'll say Gabe what's going on?? He'll always twist my words and lie and when I try to tell mom she'll say Alyssa! Stop talking or I'll bust your butt! And after she leaves I'll yell at Gabe and ask why he did that then he'll start crying and run to the bathroom and won't come out till I'm done with chores. I've confronted my Aunt about this and she said," if you talk to your mom about this I'll help you with any problems you might have." I agreed... now I don't know how to confront her cause she's caused me so much internal pain I don't know how to talk to her without getting mad or sounding disrespectful. Could any of y'all help me please??

She says she doesn't care which school she goes to, as long as it's a school in California. The problem is that those schools are really expensive for out of state students. I don't know if it's in our budget.

every night at about 7 pm my mom carries me into her room, she breastfeeds me for approximately 15 minutes, then she takes my clothes off and gives me a bathe. she scrubs me and its kind of embarrassing that she bathes me even though im 16. then she dries me off with a towel, puts a diaper on me, and then puts pajamas with feet on me. after that, she brushes my teeth, combs my hair, and carries me into my crib. she then sings me a few lullabies and then she leaves me to sleep. i asked my friends if their parents do that to them, and they all told me no. nor do their parents follow them to school or make them wear a pacifier. i'm so confused!

This will be long if you don't want to read something long skip reading this. But my brother got out of the hospital for stop drinking it's been a few weeks now almost 4 I believe. He drives both of us crazy I just shut down completely and won't talk to my mom now as I feel she just doesn't care for me. He has own place so I don't know why else he wouldn't leave besides making us miserable, I am trying to get a job it's really hard to with a speech impediment though it's gotten much better over the years no one will bare with me about that or I'd be working and wouldn't post this right now. He always seems to find something new to bother one of us I can go on and on but today I'm talking to none of them I have a head condition which brings social security in and I have ebt card to help out but that doesn't help the fact I can kick him out. She has kicked him out when he was a teenager before this is why I don't get why she won't now I am this close of being homeless and packing my bag any advice would be appreciated I am slamming doors which don't really help just helps to let them know I'm really fed up not that they care.

Funded by state revenue. Because citizens elected people to respect all citizens. Not just the 1% that purchased their politics. State revenue come from exports of agriculture, industry, and port facilities of taxed trade foreign and domestic. Including one for recreation use called Cannabis. I see hundreds of Canadian licensed vehicles daily as tourists and purchasing taxed state produce. If reader saw a salad bar recently that included my state also,

My cousins are 10 and 7. Their mom and dad are drug addicts. To the point where they cant care for their children. So they ve dumped the kids on me and my grandparents. They ve been with us for over a year now but..i feel anger?? Its so stupid im 14 years old and i shouldnt feel anger towards them as its not their fault but. I just feel they barged in! Before they came we would do fun things every weekend. But we dont anymore as one of my cousins complains over everything. Seriously. She could be told no popsicle and she would scream. So imagine how she would be at a restaurant. And my other cousin (not as bad but) shes constantly nervous. Im aware its just because of her parent s but she constantly needs over everything. I feel like a horrible person for feeling this way but..i dont know. I just feel they stole my parents from me. Somebody please give me ways to cope

Well I am starting university in like 4 weeks. I got offered free tuition so I won't have to pay for uni, only for the books. I also have my financial aid money so that's also taken care of (for the books and other things) I don't usually go out to shop or things like that. Yesterday I was talking to my sister and she told me that my mom told her this "why won't your sister get a job, it's so annoying, it looks like she doesn't want to work ever." I mean I am not my mother's favorite so she usually talks mess about me to my older sister which she tells me. I'm used to it.. but it's not like I ask them for money to go out and shop and party. I never ask my parents for anything. I also take care of my little brother and clean the house for the whole weekdays so it's not like I'm just sitting there doing nothing. I was also planning to get a job when school starts so I can stay away from home for the whole day, because I'm guessing thats what she wants. Literally I hear I love you and take care from my grandma more that I hear from my own mother. Like If I ever tell her "I love you" she would respond with " are you sure then go do this for me"

I have 2 cousins who are little. Whenever I see them, they are with their parents, my aunt and uncle. The thing is, my aunt and uncle NEVER bring them when seeing me, and I never get invited to their house. I haven't seen these cousins since the younger one's first birthday party(the ONLY time i've ever been invited to their house). That cousin is 5 now, so it has been 4 years since I last saw those cousins! I think it's weird how I haven't seen my own cousins in years, plus I miss them! They don't even live far away. They live nearby. My parents are throwing a party and those cousins were originally going to come, but it turns out they can't come after all. I'm disappointed. I just want to see them so that I can live a normal life. Do you think this is weird? I think it is. I see my aunt and uncle often, just not my cousins.

For my 14th birthday, I want my parents to buy a plot of land and build a barn. I want to have my very own horse. I don't think they will want to do it because it's super expensive but I think I am responsible enough for a horse.

I spoke to my mom how we can't go out, my mom said we have no money to save up on & I said it's not even that it's also hard for us to go out & travel because of the kids (my younger sisters) & my one sister always doesn't feel good. I said Joanna (our neighbor) couldn't wait until her kids got older so she could go on these vacations now. My mom said she always even when the kids were younger I said local yes but not these big beautiful vacations that she's taking now & my mom agreed & said you know she works now makes money she doesn't have to deal with having babies, homeschooling, clean, cook, etc., I said babies? She said "wheres your ears when I talk (She also stuttered) I'm saying she was tied up like me always sweat pants home but she was able to go out at times". I'm confused why she said having babies? My sisters are 8-10 like she wants another kid? My mom is 44 she told me shes done she can't even live her life. After I said to her "when she had 3 babies she was stuck to Joanna so yeah" then my mom said "she didn't have a sick father to care for either tho & she went out" my grandpa passed last yr. I said it doesn't matter she was stuck basically and it was weird it's like my mom was agreeing and disagreeing. My mom said she taking care of my one sister that doesn't feel good always good on & off is a lot on her. I just didn't understand how why she said having babies like she wants more babies? My mom doesn't use protection btw & google once getting pregnant at 44
