If you have a child at 15, chances are, you are going to be working 2 jobs to provide for your child when you reach adulthood. Between those 2 jobs, you won't have time to go to college or do anything else. No education means poverty.

When I was younger (8) and my sister (6) We would go over to our neighbors house and hangout with her daughter named Sydney (she was 14) and we would always play a version of "doctor" were we would touch eachothers stomachs (it was me and my sisters idea she went along with it), and I would touch up to just a inch from her tit (and the same with my sister) and they would touch all the way town till a inch from my pelvis, and we would do that for 2 years then she moved to kansas city because a member of her family was sick and they though it's best if he was around family, but I'm wondering is it normal for kids to touch eachother like we did?

Let's say she always yells at him (at the top of her lungs so hard that the neighbors can hear) to the point where he cries, due to drinking binges that stem from stress at her job, as well as single-handedly raising her son alone while having no male companionship. In addition, she yells when he brings home a bad report card or test/quiz. If her son grows up disrespectful to her, and turned into a typical brat who gets away with yelling at his mom and never getting hit for it, is it her fault? Keep in mind that she also spoils him rotten, as he is her only child, and she has a great-paying job that's basically the equivalent of a two-income family. In addition, she contributes the maximum to her 401(k). Is her son automatically the bad guy, since she gives him everything he wants? Or is she still to blame because she damaged him by drinking all the time which triggered her yelling, causing him to yell at her when he got older?

I need to have a conversation with 2 of my son's in home therapists that I hired to help with my son's Autism. This summer, I have made it a productive one where my son is very happy. I have shared the things i've done, with them because I'm proud that I hammered out my goals and my son is thrilled with how summer went. However, I feel like the questions have turned from happy sharing to reporting to them as if they are checking up to seeing if i'm doing things with him or keeping him home etc... For example, I told them that John (made up name) is so happy that he's taking drum lessons (this was happy sharing) but now they are asking when he's going, how often, what time.... This past Friday, my son said he was hungry when i'm cooking a delicious meal that I put a lot of work in, they were getting antsy and upset. I felt pressured to make him a sandwich (which ruined his dinner) He was extra hungry because he just swam for 3 hours in our pool. I don't want to lose it with these people but I feel like the boundaries have crossed. I want to put their minds at ease that they need not to worry. I want to have a meeting withe them. What can I say to fix these issues with diplomacy, where both parties walk away satisfied. Any ideas will be very super helpful. TY

For example last Christmas I answered my grandmother honestly when she asked what we were doing Christmas Eve. My dad wanted me to trick her and lied to her but I did not know and answered her honestly. He was mad at me and it wrecked Christmas Eve. My dad lies frequently, is it bad that I don't lie at all? I'm one of those people that never tells a lie out of fear of making someone mad.

At 16 years old my parents were always fighting and dad wasn't making a lot of money. I was always nervous because my mom was yelling and insulting me. Im 19 but I realize time is precious and I should try to enjoy and improve life no matter what.

So I'm 13. People keep telling me i look like my mom. Today I visited some of my relatives with my parents and already 3 of them said i look like my mom. Last month my relatives came over and i was standing next to my mom and one said "Oh my god you look just like your mom!! You are literally a copy of her!!" I got so mad i just ran to my room and cried with anger. Also one of her friends said the same thing. In total about 10 people have said this. Everytime it makes me so mad i just want to honestly kill someone. Its not that my mom is ugly or anything just that she has a face shape that doesn't suit me. And i just want to be unique. Also, one of the relatives I visited today said a few years ago that i looked like my dad but today said i looked like my mom. I have told my parents how this makes me feel and they both just say not to worry about it and that they are only saying it to make a conversation.

I planned a party for my nephews birthday that was today. My brother and my nephews mom are not together anymore. I invited my nephews mom and her boyfriend and two other kids only and the rest of my family to keep it intimate and small. They always do separate parties. So this year I wanted a party for him and just our family so the elder people can spend time with him as well. WELL little do I know my nephews mom assumed it would be okay to invite her sister, her kids, her mom and others. We didn t plan to have them over, we had enough party favors for those invited. I confronted my nephews mom and asked her why did she do this because we don t have enough chairs, food, all that stuff. She told her sister to leave and her kids, which they did without saying bye or anything at all , and my nephew got upset that they left. We didn t tell anyone to leave. Now I feel like an asshole because of all this happening. I told her no one else is to come, it ll be small, and simple. I have felt so bad allllll day. I am upset because my nephew was upset. Am I wrong? My nephew thinks I don t like his other aunt and that upsets me. His mom came with her kids and acted fine but you could tell there was tension. I guess I had to put in great detail who is invited because the first five times weren't enough.

I understand and am not angry or offended but just really disappointed. It looks like his wife's nephew who is in town from DC is going with them. I feel like the day will be bad cause it didn't work out. I am so disappointed. How do I get over my disappointment and still enjoy my Sunday?

Try not be an asshole like some of the others that have answered please. I'm 23 and about to finish my last semester of college. When I'm away at college, I can do as I please because I'm on my own and live in an apartment that I pay for. The only time I stay with my parents is when I come home for breaks; I plan to get my own apartment here after I graduate. My parents have told me before that since I'm adult, I can do what I want and all they ask of me is to be considerate since I'm staying in their house and let them know if I'm going to be out late or not come home so they know. I think that's completely fair and I make sure to always tell them if I have plans. It still feels like they treat me like a child though. My coworker invited me to go out to a bar in Dallas with her and her girlfriend last night. I had mentioned it to my dad and he started making comments about how he didn't think it was safe to go out so late in Dallas and basically made it sound like he wouldn't be ok with it. I would like to be the kind of person that doesn't care so much about everything my parents think, but I do and I don't like doing things that they don't approve of. I guess I'm stuck between wanting to be respectful of them and wanting to do whatever I want. Especially because they're so judgmental of everything I do, it feels like I can't do anything but sit in the house and avoid being social. I don't know what to do until I move out on my own next year.

A certain non"M" key user ripped huge farts all over me and then laughed about it! How should I deal with this menace to society? She is out of control!

We work together and until now he always joked/smiled when talking to me, also got awkward at times. He even told me one day that I'm so tough no one can tell me a ything and smiled swaying not even my man and that I had to let me walls down. I asked him how he said he's also working on lower his walls. But lately I had been mean to him I guess and the other day that a patient was going to come got upset because they had to pay $200. This guy thought i was rude to him as the patient said. So i walked into his office and said I would not answer calls anymore if I'm just telling him the policy and the patient is thinking i'm rude. He told me to calm down and I said i won't answer the phones anymore and walked out and pened the door aggressively. Management called me in and had a talk with me and had me sign a written warning about having attitude. Mind you this guy is a new dr and he already had an incident where he was written up. I"m thinking he was avoiding having second warning by reporting me. BUT with all of this would he have done this if he were interested in me? After this i talked to him and told him i'm not trying to drive away his patients and that I want the best for him etc. He was pretty happy and I said it's just my way of talking and told him the other day a patient told receptionist she thought I was the dr's girlfriend just because I was talking to her urgently when I didn't say anything else but give her instructions on how to make hospital appointment. He said and I didn't say anything either and laughed and looked down

Basically a coworker of mine who I've become pretty close with invited me to go to a gay bar with her and her girlfriend who also works with us and I'm also cool with. If I was out on my own like I am when I'm away at college, I would easily say yes and go with them, but I'm currently home for the summer and have my parents to worry about. I casually mentioned to my dad that she invited me to hang out with them without mentioning that it was at a bar. He said that he couldn't imagine there was much to do at 11:30 at night except go to a bar and that the only ones open would be in Dallas. He then started talking about how dangerous he thinks Dallas is at night and that I wouldn't want to go there this late. I ended up declining the invitation because he made me feel like he wasn't ok with it. It just sucks because I'm 23 and old enough to do what I want, but I live under their roof and have to live by their rules. I wish they would let me be a regular 20 year old without judging me or making me feel like it's not ok to do the things that I want. He'll say that I'm an adult and can do what I want, but will turn around and make a big deal out of anything I want to do so then I just let it go so I don't have to hear it.

Say if the mom and dad are divorced, and the mom prevents the father from seeing the kids, she alienates them from him. I've heard judges and doctors say this quite a few times to these women "If you don't allow them to their father, or you don't allow their father to see them, your kids will eventually hate you". And seems it has turned out that way a lot. Why?

We were married for 3 years but broke it off. 2 years later, he is now married to an ugly woman. Of course, before they got married, he asked me if I would like to come to the wedding but of course I said no. This is hilarious and ridiculous at the same time.

Ok so this was my first love... first kiss... I started taking come anxiety meds because I was nervous meeting her family which me very confident. She lives in Brazil and we met online. I flew to Brazil 3 times to stay with her family. She flew to NY one to visit me. We were together for 2 years. The best thing in my life. I miss her like crazy. Ok so her family was treating both of us like crap. They ignored her on her birthday and they didn't go to her graduation. They stopped talking to her. The mom slaps her. Her parents got a divorce because once her mom slapped her and the father slapped the mom. But then they started treating me like they were treating her and I did stupid things because I didn't know how to handle it. They called me fat, lazy, perverted, desperate, fake religious… etc. After a lot of abuse, I snapped and sent the mom an "anonymous" message from a Brazilian number so she would think it was from someone else. Of course, they knew it was me. It was so stupid and I regret it so much. The girl broke up with me after 2 years. We were apart for 7 months and I went crazy after the breakup with going in her accounts and sending emails. I miss her so much. I know I changed and learned a lot as I calmed down, but she blocked me on everything. I also sent her family a few apology letters, but they ignore them. A few days ago her brother threatened to beat me up if I didn't stop sending letters. Is there any fixing this?

The reason why is because my dad used to sleep in the living room but then his wife came back home out of nowhere and he kicked me out of my room. I'm mad as hell. But do I have a right to be. She only lives here 3 days out of the week.

Knew him for over 20 years and found him on Facebook just three months ago. He knows who I am by the way. I didn't know who the person in the photo was after I posted a photo of me and him on social media and he found me and said it was him and even said he was friends with my aunt. I told him it was nice to meet him again and he didn't respond though. My cousin wrote on his Facebook wall saying "how's it going Brian? You were talking to my cousin, Serena (me) the other day" three months ago and tagged me in it. Would it be too late to post a comment and say: "I know this post by cousin Theresa was made three months ago and I'm a little late in commenting, but, I remember you from when I was a kid, just didn't know what your name was at all, but I recognized you in the family album. My mom told me many years ago that you moved away to Mexico when I've asked about you as a child. I just want to let you know that I think you were one of the coolest and nicest people I've met in my childhood :D" Does this comment sound flirty, weird, or odd? Many people have told me it was. He's almost 50 and married so I have no intention on hitting on him.

I am in my 30ies, my mom in her 60ies. We always had a difficult (but close) relationship with my mom. I am her only child. She has two sisters and she is close to one but had always had a contentious relationship with the other whose name she keeps calling me by mistake. I can't explain why this mistake keeps happening. Any ideas?

My dad isn't the best parent he can sometimes be scary and loving with my god mom would make me more comfortable. She adopted my sisters and wants to adopt me or atleast get custody before I move so I don't have to leave all my family here. But my dad wants to make me go, however I don't want to live with him, my god mom is much more of a suitable parent, what do we have to do for me to stay here? ( I'm still 14 )

When me and my mom argue she always makes it my fault every single time. She has a problem with admitting she's wrong and not just with me but also with my dad and other people e.g. friends, colleagues and so on, it's really starting to get to me because my friends are always talking about when they argue with their parents that their parents are capable of apologising or admitting when they are at fault which makes me wonder is it strange that my mom doesn't. My dad never stops her when she does this to me or my sister because he's afraid to as he knows she's like this. I'm honestly just sick of it

I am NOT a troll, and this is for real, something very concerning.
