Family: Question: Why do women think that settling down involves becoming boring and marrying a boring man?

Question: Why do women think that settling down involves becoming boring and marrying a boring man?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 01:40 PM PDT

You know the stereotypical white picket fence, straight laced dad, little family in small town suburban America. Why do women desire this boring life? You go to the local farmers market on Sunday morning or Church on Sunday and you see these straight laced boring *** families, "Yes Dear" dads and "Always smiling moms", who look like they are all carbon copies of each other. I'd rather be in a family that goes out hunting and creeking and listening to heavy metal and playing video games and going to the gym together and having fun, than being with some straight laced mom and dad who have no personalities or interests or hobbies besides work and helicopter parenting their kids instead of actually creating fun memories for their kids

Question: Mrs. Peace hit me?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 01:22 PM PDT

So basically I'm staying at Mrs. Peace's house while my parents are away and shes this nasal voice woman and she beats me and the rest of her children when we do anything wrong help

Question: She reached out but Why do I still feel this way?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 12:54 PM PDT

I've always been afraid of getting close to someone I think I know why. But for the first time I stayed a week with my aunt and we were talking one time and I learned that she did something when she was my age that I've been doing, and for the first time I opened up to someone I told them what was causing me so much pain inside and the first day I stayed there I felt good but as the days went on I started feeling extreme anxiety anytime I saw her and I don't know why she kept bringing up the topics and for the first time in a very long time someone told me they loved me but for some reason I felt so awkward and anxious I started scratching the skin off of my arms and legs when she talked to me she told me lots of kind things that my mom wouldn't even say to me. she taught me how to say what I like and what I don't and when I was leaving she said to call her often but I've been home for awhile now and just the thought of talking to her makes me anxious and actually it feels like I can't breath

Question: How do I tell my mom it’s unfair how she restricts freedom just because I’m underweight/skinny but my twin sister isn’t (we’re both 15)?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 12:49 PM PDT

My sister is allowed to have a later curfew because she's physically fitter and stronger. I have to get home before dark since I look like the average 12 year old girl. My mom says people are more likely to assault me because I look very small and fragile to them. Another example is: my sister is allowed to dye her hair but I'm NOT. My mom says it's because she has healthy hair, but my hair is so brittle that tons of hair falls off whenever I touch/brush it. She thinks I'll go bald if I dye it since it's already worse enough. We're both the same age and gender, yet we get treated so differently because of our health and body mass. She says the only way she'll let go of me is if I get healthier — so there's less both health and safety risks involved in my life.

Question: Is my mom crazy?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 12:16 PM PDT

To start out, I'm a 14 year old female going into high school and literally all of my life I wanted to go study in a school abroad by myself. I actually wanted to be something. And pursue my dreams and become a doctor. My mom just crushed all of my dreams, plans, basically everything I've been working for for the past few years. I even took courses early just so I can get the chance to excel. But, my mom said no I can't go study abroad alone because I'm a girl. That's it. I'M A GIRL. I just can't study to some trash college near my house. I don't even want to work when I get to high school. And it's not the money too, it's just because I'm a girl. She let my brother travel and live on his own, but not me, because I have a vagina. I just can't. The only way for me to study in my dream university is bringing the whole family along with me. And, the main reason I wanted to study abroad is to get away from them. All my younger sister does is annoy me, I can't stand living with her for the rest of my damn life. And my mom wants me to get married to a man and just stay at home and not work. My mom is a traditional person, and apparently, this is how life is. I don't want this. All my life I've wanted to be a boy so I can relieve myself of all of these issues. I'm questioning why God even made me a girl in the first place. It seems the only solution is to wait until she dies. To top that all off, I'm Muslim so I don't get to leave my mom when "I'm 18." I'm stuck with her forever.

Question: Do all teen moms go on welfare?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 12:14 PM PDT

They can't support their child with a part time job at McDonalds.

Question: Did I overreact?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 12:12 PM PDT

I'm a senior in high school and 6 months pregnant. Most of the time I use black yoga pants, normal t-shirts, and sneakers/flats/sandals. Since I feel more comfortable in these clothes rather than my pre-pregnancy clothes. Today I was called to the office and the secretary told me a teacher of mine had donated used clothes to me. I was confused as to why so I asked her. She told me that he was donating clothes for me because I kept on wearing the "same" clothes every day. (I noticed she said "he" and I only have one male teacher). I got mad and said "WHAT SAME CLOTHES? I DON'T WEAR THE SAME CLOTHES EVERY DAY!" and stormed off. I cried in the bathroom and asked my boyfriend's mom to pick me up. (I don't wear the same clothes I just have a ton of black yoga pants, and I wear my boyfriend's t-shirts or my own t-shirts.) When my boyfriend got home from college, he told me I was overreacting that the teacher did it out of kindness. He probably did, but I still feel offended. My own parents called me rude that I should've accepted the clothes and donate them. I didn't think of that at that moment since I was pissed. Now I feel like I should start wearing uncomfortable jeans to avoid people thinking I wear the same clothes. I'm also embarrassed about going to his class and thinking of changing that class.

Question: On Christmas this year what might i do to attract visits from or to my Mom's extended family?

Question: How do I get my Dad to stop being an alcoholic after being one for 21 years at least?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 12:06 PM PDT

Or is there nothing we can do now but watch him get cirrhosis and eventually die.

Question: Does this count as abuse?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 11:22 AM PDT

first of all, my parents don't hit me or starve me. however, there are some things that im wondering if they count as abuse. whenever we go out, my mom makes me hold her hand. she's paranoid of me getting lost, especially in large places. my parents also make me call them "mommy" and "daddy", even though im already 15 years old. in the car, my parents make me ride on a carseat. last week at the doctor's checkup i was 4'8 and weighed 88 lbs. so my parents still put me on a carseat. it's kind of embarrassing because everyone notices. at the swimming pool, my mom makes me wear floaties. she's worried i'll drown in the swimming pool, even though it's not too deep and there's a lifeguard present at all times. also, i'm not sure if this is normal or not, but occasionally at the clothing store my mom would find a shirt that she thinks i would like, and she just puts it on me. instead of me dressing myself, she just puts a shirt on me as if i can't do it myself. and sometimes when we go out to eat at a restaurant, my parents and i try each other's dishes, and my mom just takes a spoon and spoonfeeds me a bite of her food. i'm a 15 year old girl by the way.

Question: Mom found old sucide note what should I do?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 11:05 AM PDT

Mom found old sucide note and Im pretty sure I wrote it when I was an edgy 13yearold, now she's saying I'm a pitiful piece of **** and that life "is so hard for me" sure it was pretty dumb to write it but I still don't think she should even say that I'm having a severe anxiety attack. And I have really no idea how to react to a situation like this or what to do? Any ideas?

Question: My family always leaves me out and it makes me feel horrible?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 10:43 AM PDT

Background info: My dad died when I was a year old and my mom got remarried three years later. My dad's side of the family didn't like how fast she moved on and don't really talk to her anymore(except for when she drops me off at my grandma's house for Sunday family lunches but she doesn't stay). I always thought that I was still close with my cousins, though, but lately I've been noticing how much they leave me out. For example,they constantly post pictures to instagram of all 5 of them going to the movies without me and even send videos of themselves hanging out to our cousin snapchat group. I've also been excluded from birthday/holiday parties and one day I was ranting to the cousin that I'm closest with about how I feel like I'm always left out of things and that it really hurts but all she said was that I need to start asking about plans if I want to be invited because no one is going to contact my mom to get to me(even though 1. how am I supposed to ask about plans that I don't even know about because I wasn't invited? and 2. they all have multiple ways to contact me). They are not children either. Their ages range from 16-28 and they all have my phone number if they ever wanted to contact or invite me. I feel awful. I wish they would think to include me but it feels like they hardly ever do. I feel like I'm being punished for my dad's death and my mom's ability to continue her life after tragedy. I just wish there was a way to feel included. Any advice on what to do?

Question: I invited Elsa to my birthday party, and did a fake Elsa come?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 07:50 AM PDT

My older sister let me on here to ask if the Elsa that came to my birthday party was a fake elsa? I put an invitation addressed to Princess Elsa at 252 Arendelle Lane, Fantasyland MK, WDW, and my sister gave me a special Disney sticker stamp to put on the letter The mail carrier actually took the letter and it appeared to make it through the mail, and at my birthday I think a fake Elsa showed up as she sounded AWFUL when singing let it go, does Elsa really sound that bad, I am now doubting if Elsa is even real and if there is any magic in the world, is Santa even real, tooth fairy? Easter bunny? ANNA? Kristoff? Olaf? Jesus? Why did the Elsa that came sound so awful? She sounded like she was yelling most of the song? My older sister said she couldn't sing the song? And I questioned her and she tried and sounded awful as well? Was it just one of her friends in a costume? Is Santa actually dad in a costume? Brings new meaning to the whole I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus song? Did she just see me write the letter and then ask one of her friends to come in an elsa suit? Then where did the mailman take take the letter to? She refuses to answer my question fully and she just says that magic explains every question? I want some straight answers here and an explanation of why elsa didn't sound like elsa? She said that maybe elsa was under a spell that made her sound awful after battling a wicked witch in OZ? Please explain?

Question: Should I just forget about my mother? I really want a mother/daughter relationship like other girls do (brutally honest answers)?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 07:06 AM PDT

Well my mom left when I was 8. I visited her in England two months ago and of course my dad was right. Even my brothers, best friend and my family were right about my mother and tried to tell me and keep me away from her. My mom was excited and happy to see me but as the week goes, she lost interest quickly. She stood me up for dinner (I waited three hours), she didn't even apologized or feel awful about it. I tried to hide it but I was pissed. She stood me up before and didn't apologize then. She only thinks of herself. She seemed to not want me around and gets irritated when I'm around. She admitted that she lived alone and prefers it that way. She told me the real truth about why she left us besides her wanting her own life and not wanting to be a mom anymore . She was BRUTALLY BLUNT about she said it was because she didn't wanna deal with a child with a disability. I'm autisitc....we'll have Asperger's. She left after my diagnoses. She only cares and wanted to talk to my brothers and not me. Then why did she invite me to see her? I was heartbroken and I decided to go home. Everyone was right about my mom. My mom NEVER calls me but only my brothers. I called her once and she answered. My dad said I need to move on and I've been doing amazing without my mom and I don't need her. I need my mom! I described my mom as a strong woman just made a bad choice. My family disagrees. Sorry for the rant.

Question: My mom lives in a toxic fear of her mother. How do I point this out to my mom in a gentle way so she can get help?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 06:57 AM PDT

My mom devotes her whole life to pleasing her mother. Not healthy respect for a parent but an obsessive need to please her. Growing up her father would hit her with a belt if her mother was unhappy about something my mom had done. My mom also got held accountable if her younger siblings misbehaved while she was babysitting. This turned into an unhealthy fear of her parents years later. Her father died long ago but there's something in her mind that makes her terrified if her mother rolls her eyes. I believe it is because she associated her mom being agitated with getting beaten by her father who disciplined oldschool abusive ways ( he was a good man who just didn't know better in the 60s). My grandmother is not a scary person at all she's very nice. Sometimes she gets a little irritable and rolls her eyes and that's it. My dad also has an obsessive need to please his mother-in-law but I think this is because he's actually trying to please his wife. For example on holidays my father never bothered to celebrate with his family for he needed to please his mother-in-law and as a result we missed out on time with Dad's side of the family until I was old enough to go on my own. So how would I point this out? My mom is OCD but only about her mother and healthy in the mind otherwise.

Question: So your kids & grandkids just inherited your trillions of debt Do you feel good that they will be paying to finance the welfare for the rich?

Question: How do I avoid being criticized by my aunt who has narcissism and my mother says to avoid?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 04:49 AM PDT

I avoid her but at family events I am not going to skip a family celebration cause she is there. That would be punishing myself to get her back. My parents do that but I refuse. At the same time I do want to protect myself from this woman. How do I avoid being criticized by an insecure narcissist estranged from even her own son when I am around her and her two daughters?

Question: Am I in an abusive household?

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 01:26 AM PDT

I look up the signs and they don't match. I don't know. My sister, her kid and her boyfriend moved in. My mom is never home because she has to work a lot to accommodate them. Both morbidly obese and eat all our food so I can't eat, and even when there is food it's so hellish to go downstairs it isn't worth it. They've never left the downstairs in the entire time they've lived here. Her boyfriend is terrible to her, neglects his child, is way too comfortable, breaks our furniture with her as well as our walls and stuff and it's just an extremely hostile environment. My sister doesn't leave me alone. Since she's so lazy she tries to get me to do everything, and obviously she breaks stuff and everything too. If I leave something downstairs I will regret it. I will never hear the end of it. I haven't gone downstairs a lot since they moved in years ago, as a result I've been stuck in my room every day every month every year with no way to leave, that brings me here, contemplating suicide because I can't handle this hell anymore.

Question: What should i do about my difficult mother?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 11:13 PM PDT

My mom is a very controlling and very conflicting.she had me when she was 17 almost 18. She has always been very dry and never really gave me affection...7 years ago she married my stepdad and we moved to the U.S. He has always been complaining about me to her and that causes her to become even more angry towards me. Lately she's been yelling at me because she thinks im not doing anything about college when I actually am. Her husband and her Have been all over me. Im 19 and im basically not allowed to go out. She has this toxic personality, always looking for trouble with me. I am at a point in which I'm always in my room trying to avoid them because then she explodes at me! Sometimes she comes into my room to literally just yelled at me! And my stepdad who I barely see is always talking **** about me which makes stuff worse. We barely talk lately..., I honestly just wanna move out and cut ties with her but I applied to a bunch of jobs that haven't called back yet so im broke and i have nowhere to go! I just can't be with a toxic mother and a sometimes violent stepdad!

Question: Help! My dad and step mom refuse to delete my ex on Facebook and they are trying to say it's the same as having my biological mother on mine?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 10:34 PM PDT

I asked them to delete her immediately after the break up and they refused. We had a falling out over this and other things, didn't speak for a year. I brought the issue up again after speaking with them recently for the first time in over a year and they still refused. My step mother asked why. I explained... "we had no kids together, we are not and were never family, she cheated on me, there was no need for any further communication with her and because I am respectfully asking you to." My step mother then says, "you have a person on your friends list that caused us a lot of pain too" (referring to my biological mother that was not part of my life from age 8-18). So I said, "that person you are referring to is my biological mother. Life is too short to hold grudges and resentment", repeated my last text and asked what my ex was to her. She replied "a friend". I didn't validate that with a response. I'm in my late 20's. I dated this girl for less than 6 months, on and off, well over a year ago. Yes, they met her and no they didn't spend time alone with her while we dated. However, I'm starting to wonder if they did while they weren't speaking to me for the last year and if so, why!? Again, we broke up because she cheated on me. I am now dating someone I have a happy/healthy relationship with, that I live with, that has a child (whose life I am actively involved in) and that I plan to marry. My dad and step mother have not even met them yet.

Question: I am done with my moms husband. What do I do?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 08:49 PM PDT

My moms husband treats me like garbage, and has since my mom married him a decade ago. My mom loves me very much, but has failed in making my home life happy and healthy in my preteen/teen years and I hold a huge grudge because of that. He constantly yells at me, emotionally abuses me, doesn't treat me like the kids they had together, purposely does things to spite me, texts and talks about me to my mom and other what a terrible person I am, does things so that my mom has to not include me, does things to separate us or hurt our relationship... And yes. Sometimes I do act like a brat around him- but it was not started by me. He used me and got me to like him to get to my mother when I was young and then turned on me as soon as they got married. She really chooses one or the other of us because she knows we do not get along. If she's fighting with him, she's my best friend. And when she's not fighting with him, forgets me. It's really emotionally exhausting and while i love my mother it's a heavy emotional burden to carry. I have a feeling I'll get the "move on" comments, this isn't the only thing in my life that I have to deal with- just one of those things that pulls on my heart. I hate this man more than anything, and I resent her not hating him for how he's treated me. But then I'm torn, because she's my mom and I love her. It's hard for me to love her completely with him around, because I feel like I'm enabling him while doing so. What do i do?

Question: Any tips on grieving?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 08:40 PM PDT

My name's Kellee, I'm 16 and I lost my big sister, Emilee, unexpectedly in a car accident. I never knew I could experience pain like this. Its my senior year and my sister won't be apart of it. She was only 21, she didn't deserve to die- she didn't get to experience life and she never will. I can't wrap my head around the fact that I lost my best friend-my only sibling-my voice of reason.I used to see Em as this bubbly, free spirit, who's smile could light up a room, but now when I think of her I can't the picture of her bruised and broken body in her casket. My parents don't want to talk about it but I really need help. I don't know what to do.

Question: My parents are controlling and treat me like I child? I don’t know what to do about it?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 07:25 PM PDT

So basically I'm moving out and going to 6 hours away. I'm 18 yet I'm still treated like a child in so many ways. I feel like I'm suffocating. It's more of my mom than my dad really, she treats me like I'm still 13, for example, she decorates my room for Me, she blames me for many of our financial problems and threatens not to pay for my uni, she dresses for me, I don't have a choice in anything, she blames me for not growing up when I basically never get the chance to. She doesn't let me get a part time job on the weekends, using every excuse to why it's a bad idea, oh! And guilt trips me. My father sits there and doesn't nothing, he doesn't want to anger my mother and just says she cares too much. I keep my room clean but she expects me to clean the whole house, she blames me for it being dirty when I can't even go out to buy cleaning material. I can't go out at all actually. So I'm very socially behind . She treats my thoughts and ideas as nothing but petty and stupid. I don't have anyone to talk too. It eventually comes back to slap me in the face whenever I spill to her about my life, I'm again blamed as guilty of everything. I have severe anxiety issues, depression and shut myself off completely. It helps in times where I'm getting tormented my her words. She tells me she'll drive 6 hours a week to see me. I really hope she doesn't. I love her, but I just want to be alone for a really good while.

Question: Why do poor women put motherhood before marriage?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 07:21 PM PDT

They have kids without getting married. Thus they remain poor single moms.

Question: Mom has been getting really angry at my sister and me lately. What can we do to make things less toxic with her?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 07:16 PM PDT

Next weekend mom, little sister Jenny, and I are moving from NC to TX. Mom has been really stressed lately and snapped at us several times. Today was the worse. Mom was taking me and Jenny to the pool to meet friends today. When we were ready she escorted us to the truck and opened the passenger side door. As soon as we got in, she closed us in and went back in the house for over 20 minutes. When she got in, I asked her what took so long and she said it was none of my business and I was rude to ask. I was in the middle and my foot brushed against her leg while she was trying to get it started and got **** on her. She screamed at me and then took my shoe and got out to clean her leg and it. She yelled at me again about being old enough to watch where I stepped when she got back in. She finally got it started and took us to the pool. When we got back home, me and Jenny walked on the carpet with drinks and mom screamed at us because she had the carpet cleaned while we were gone and didn't want to lose her deposit if we spilled. After dinner, she yelled at us because we were not working on packing our stuff. She snapped when we didn't do what she wanted but never told us what we should do. What can Jenny and me do to deal with mom the next few weeks. I am especially worried about her snapping if anything goes wrong when the 3 of us are in the U-Haul together. I know it will get better once we get settled in Texas, but don't know how to deal with her until then.

Question: Dashing to airport to meet family there on an unexpected layover, but missing them: good idea to tell family that I went?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 07:13 PM PDT

Some close relatives of mine were flying back from vacation and their plane was diverted to my local airport. They let me know about an hour before landing that they would be arriving and might be let off the plane (and would then continue home by plane). So I figured we'd have 30 minutes to get together at most, and I dashed to the airport. I see them about once a year otherwise. I missed them; their plane took off shortly after I arrived and they never were allowed to get off the plane. Good idea to tell them that I dashed to the airport? Or is it creepy or crazy to have done that? One relative is unemotional and would probably think it was a bad idea to leave work for this (although it was in the evening).

Question: My older brother got outed to our parents and they freaked out and hurt him. What can I do that won't get our parents in trouble?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 07:01 PM PDT

They're usually awesome parents, I think they were just really shocked about it and kind of lost it. My dad beat my brother up until he was sick on himself and I feel really bad but I don't want to do anything that'll cause trouble, so what should I do?

Question: Why do some relatives or people never speak to you again?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 06:55 PM PDT

I mean there were some relatives that I and my mom went to the beach with, then they never again call us or talk to us again. We never argued so it weird.

I bought it for my niece, it's her birthday tomorrow. Turning 12.

Question: Why are my parents so mean?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 05:55 PM PDT

My mom teases and mocks me by making everything seem like I'm being dramatic but when she does the same thing her reaction is the same and she blames me for everything even thought my Two younger brothers are the cause and she gets mad at me for playing video games even though I've asked multiple times for a list of jobs I can do each day around the house so I have something to do! We get into arguments a lot and sometimes I'm right about the argument and then she bends the truth to my dad is on her side and I eventually get in trouble for stuff I didn't do

Question: Is this idea foolproof?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 03:54 PM PDT

I'm so hung up on exam results coming out. It's coming out Thursday. I'm hoping for B's and C's. In the meantime, I'm going to be staying up all day and all night- (in my room so my parents won't know). I'm so excited. On the day my mother picks up the results from the school, I'll make sure my bowels and bladder is empty so I don't contaminate myself, from fright and excitement. This will mean I cannot eat anything nor drink fluids that day until I get home. I already told her not to open it, I'll be waiting in the car, and I'll open it first. I'll be so happy if I passed every subject area. I'll then start working on the other chapter of my schooling life.

Question: Why does my dad think our relationship is bad?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 03:31 PM PDT

My dad pulled me aside yesterday and told me that I don't have enough time for family which is untrue due to me spending at least 48 hours a week with family. Then he says he looks at other fathers and daughters and is jealous of their relationships. He said he can't change who I am but he wishes we were more like other fathers and daughters. My father and I spend hours together we have loads of shared interests, are always laughing due to the same sense of humour, have a love of the same music and make time for each other each week more than I make for my mother. I don't understand where this has come from and then today he insults my intelligence which he knows I am insecure about. What have I done wrong?

Question: My mom is forcing me to join yearbook. Help?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 03:30 PM PDT

My mom is forcing me to join yearbook because she wants me to get involved in school and I get that but yearbook seriously isn't my thing. She says it will look good for college. I already do soccer in the spring but apparently that isn't enough for my mother. I've tried talking to her about it but it always ends up with her screaming at me. Other than soccer, there's absolutely nothing that Interests me at school. My main point though is the fact that during soccer season, my GPA dropped from a 3.3 from the last quarter (when I wasn't playing) to a 3.0. I know it's still honor roll but I'm really not that great at school and I NEED to get decent grades since this will be my junior year. I sacrifice my time to soccer in the spring because I love the sport but I don't love yearbook. Any advice?

Question: HOW WOULD YOU REACT TO THIS?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 03:28 PM PDT

So.. you have a 5 year old little sister who's being flirty with every man she see's, and is an attention wh*re especially for male attention. As a older brother what would you do, because i'm not liking this at all. Her friends are all normal not talking or looking at guys like that at all just enjoying the company while she does everything to get males attention. The problem with this too is that the attention she wants is from older men, like ppl in my age group. As her elder I feel very disrespected, shame, frustrated and angry about this. BTW: SHE'S 21, I'M 26. 5 YEAR *YOUNGER* LITTLE SISTER.

Question: Am I the only one with parents that don't update you on the schedule/ important events?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 03:04 PM PDT

WARNING: This is going to be a rant because I have no one else to talk to about and probably nobody care. When ever my dad gets emails from the school on events( or optional events) or date changes he never tells me. He doesn't even sent me the emails. I just found out today that my school music camp starts on Monday and not Tuesday. I thought it was Tuesday because in the past years it always started on a Tuesday for upperclassmen. I checked my dad's email to see if the teacher send him info on a schedule change and yes he got one. Seriously, why couldn't he have emailed me the info. If a teacher sends an email to a parent then the info must be important. Okay, well he tells me sometimes. Usually if its about an appointment with the doctor or dentist. Other times I figure things out on my own, but usually when I do its last minute. Its just annoying bc I don't want go to school tomorrow and have the teacher ask me why I wasn't there on the first day. I don't want to have to make up a fake excuse on why I didn't come in (for example I was on vacation) because that would be lying. I also don't want to say I didn't know about it or I didn't get the memo bc that's just a lame and stupid excuse.

We had a family reunion over the weekend and I'm sad now because my 2 of my favourite people in the world were there, and we are all going back home now. The live in Victoria, British Columbia and I live in Edmonton, Alberta so I know I'm not gonna see them for a long time. I'm having trouble dealing with the fact that I'm not going to see them for a while. What would you do in this situation?

Question: My Parents are planning on getting divorced. My father is having trouble paying the bills on his own. What should he do?

Posted: 12 Aug 2019 02:16 PM PDT

My Mother recently decided she wasn't a happy with my father and decided she wanted a divorce. They haven't officially divorced yet or even filled any paperwork on the matter. My mother moved in with her friend for the time being. Now my father is having trouble paying bills on his own since my mother isn't around so he plans on selling the house. He's started doing the renovations but he can't get much done if the power and water are shut off. My mother refuses to have contact with my father right now so things are difficult. I tried asking her if she would be willing to pay for her part of the bills until he finishes renovations which with me, my father, and my uncle working I don't think will take any longer than 2 weeks.The house was once home to 4 boys (my 3 brothers, me included) so the house obviously needs these renovations so it can be sold. But she doesn't want to and told me that I should just go live with her. But I don't want to leave my dad since he's upset enough as it is and my uncles only around occasionally. Can my mother just up and leave and not pay for the bills even though they're still technically married? Things are just so confusing and I don't know what to do.

Question: Is it abnormal that I have a crush on my stepson?

I have a 19 year old stepson. His father and I got married 4 years ago when he was just 15. I am also only 9 years older than him. I obviously didn't think of him that way back then but I do now. Should I tell my husband about these feelings or keep them to myself?
