So I am grounded because I went to a football game and I didn't tell my mom it was an away game. I'm not allowed to go anywhere for a month and as for my phone, my mom says she doesn't know when she'll give it back. She said maybe a year. I've just been really lonely so far. I haven't been able to talk to my friends or see them at all and I feel so isolated. I think this might be a bit too harsh considering the thing I did. I understand I did something bad and I need to be punished but not like this. Idk, am I just being a brat?

am autistic. how about I get euthanized and sell my non retarded body parts so my siblings and parents can earn some nice cash which will help them with their house construction and have some cash for my siblings education what do you think. how generous would that be from a worthless autist. I'll never get anywhere in life, no education no job, no money, no girlfriend. or should I be kept in a containment chamber to be drained of my negative O type blood. I mean I'll only prove myself worthy to society if I use my body as a sacrifice. something makes me wonder that that's my only purpose in life. if I die and sell my heart kidney liver etc at least my parents will have money even if it doesn't last too long. sorry for my improper use of language and grammar, not a native speaker.

Both are narcissistic people and their not even that close. My sister is like a sociopath even as she is the worse of the two.  There was also a narcissistic great uncle but he has died. 

One day they'll die and I'll be all alone in this world. I've tried to get people to like me but no one does, not even my parents families.

he is focusing on the wrong things, his daughter has no clothes to wear that fit her, i wear boy clothes cause all of mine are ripped and stained and he spends $300 to get himself one outfit. spends $500 on a vr headset, $4500 on a down payment for a over expensive car, hundreds on drones and rockets nd man toys, he never bats an eye when it comes to splurging on his own self indulgence and has a sever spending problem but when it comes to important things such as bills, he is extremely unreliable. idk what to do. we live with my mom and were going to get a place together but my moms saying its not a good idea and she worries when we are alone the abuse and neglect might worsen as it did before..

My parents constantly hurt my feelings & make me cry, when i start crying they then proceed to call me a crybaby & tell me that im too sensitive/emotional. They will literally mimic me crying & call me a brat. Now I can't even talk to them with out crying. Is there behavior wrong or am I overreacting?

we have 2 baby's and have been together years now and originally when he proposed it was with a $60 amazon ring and i cried hysterically i was so happy, the price of the ring doesn't matter to me but after abuse and alcoholic fights in the past i threw and misplaced it years ago, we split up after kid number 1 and got back together, he promised me a nice ring when he had more money and when he ws trying to win me back, we don't fight anymore and he's a great father and we have a beautiful little girl we cherish, and everything is great except for his noticeable selfishness that now even my family is complaining about, he just got a higher paying job and $10,000, and he is going trough all of him money as soon as it touches his hands, he got a overly expensive car to finance and put $5000 down, got overly expensive insurance, spends hundreds on drones and $500 for a vr gaming head set, even buys stuff for our kid but never for me and makes me feel guilty for even looking at jewelry for myself today with my own money trying to get me to go as cheap as possible, i just feel like the last priority, and he makes remarks during about how the gum im chewing smells bad and is trashy... im feeling really insecure and sad now... idk how to talk to him about his spending problems and how he is out of control, he even neglected our baby at home one day leaving her to cry home alone while he had a beer and just assumed my brother would wake up and hear her, who knows how long.

I have heard a lot of stories about mother in law problems from my married friends but mine is just the opposite. My husbands mother Mary is my best friend. I just adore her. I recently had surgery and could not stay by myself for a week. She came and stayed with me for a week and took care of me so my husband did not have to take a week off work which we could not afford. She cooked and cleaned and took care of everything. I am now fully recovered thanks a lot to her great care. Her meals were to die for. We go shopping/looking about once a week and it is something we both greatly enjoy. She recently told me that she would like to start dating again and hopefully get married. Her problem is she did not think her son, my husband would approve. She is a very young looking 40+ woman. When some people see us together they think we are sisters. A great compliment for her. I told her the truth which is she is a beautiful woman and would make any guy a trophy wife. She will not have any trouble finding a guy that would want to marry her. She has a gorgeous figure. I wish mine was that good. I told her if male companionship would make her happy, she should do it NOW. She ask me to talk to my husband to see how he would feel if she remarried. Someone please give me some advice on how approach this subject with my husband.

My twin brother has the same birthday as me. Is this a coincidence?

My parents decided to put have my dog put down. His name is Otis. I had him for almost a year and he's bitten me a couple times but it wasnt super bad bites. He wod be playing and then get excited. He's a Jack Terrier. I've wanted a dog ever since I was a little boy and they finally let me get one and then I came home from school Friday and he was gone and the basically explained that he was aggressive and that it was the only choice. Just because they didnt want to keep him. Even when be bit me the last time the doctors said it wasnt too bad, there wasnt any nerve damage or anything. Yet , they're still overreacting. They refuse to listen to me and compromise. They told me I can go say goodbye to him tomorrow but that's it. None of this is fair. I turn 18 in April and if they just give me the time I'm willing to move out and take care of him myself. I told them that and they just talked over me and said that there's nothing to do and that we can try again with a new dog. I don't want a new dog though, they're missing the point. They arent even willing to let me keep him a few more months. He's not super big and I'm the only "kid" in the house. I get it if I was like 4y/o or something but I'm only months from being an adult and they're just killing my best friend. For the record, we adopted him from a family who had trained him to be aggressive as a guard dog but they just had a baby so they couldn't keep him. His breed usually is fine with older kids so my parents let me get him. We've had him for 8months and did a lot of training exercises and stuff but still sometimes he gets excited and playing escalates, he never hurt anyone else, just me. I've only had to go to the hospital bc I needed stitches and that was only like 7 or 8 times. And every time we got a lecture from the drs. And my parents would send him to a center thats meant to help with training. Then we got him back. He really isnt usually aggressive, they showed me different ways to read his body language and what to do etc. The bottom line is this time, which was almost 2 months after the previous time, the place on my arm where he bit was close to an artery and the dr made a big deal out of it. That's why they're overreacting. Rn, he's at a vet bc said they couldnt do anything till Monday. My parents didnt want him at home. They're acting like he tried to maul me when none of it was his fault and I've been doing everything the trainers said. I'm trying to do everything right and they dont even care.

My brother (19) chooses to ignore and avoid hard situations rather than discuss them or deal with them. He claims that it's his coping method but is it really considered dealing with it or coping if he doesn't.

Ok so I was in the car with my grandma and grandpa because they were going to the airport to go back to their country and I had my eyes widely open and I was looking at a way and not my grandma and then my eyes shrieked from being widely open and when I looked at stuff and down and or anywhere it didn't look widely open and I didn't have my eyes widely open anymore and my grandma didn't make a sound like she expects me to know something and I feel like my grandma did this because she doesn't expect me to have wide eyes because of my way I look. What do you think of this situation and what should I do?

So my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years ago and has progressively gotten worse. She is age 68 and my father is 70. Other than the Alzheimer's, neither have any health issues and are in great shape for their age. Recently, my father was told he could get a home health aide through some type of insurance policy that they have to help with household tasks in caring for mom so that my father can get out of the house a few days a week. So they contacted an agency and tried a couple different caregivers. The first couple didn't work out and then the agency sent a younger caregiver who seemed to be perfect. She's in her mid to late 20s probably, very professional, sweet, good with Mom and cleans the house thoroughly. Dad is thrilled...BUT maybe being a very protective and worried daughter, I have noticed some things that give me cause for concern. I've noticed more and more lately that my dad acts strangely around this caregiver. He is always chatting her up, smiling at her like a little boy practically and even blushing around her constantly. Mom doesn't really seem to notice and the disease has pushed my parents slightly apart over the years.. To be fair the caregiver acts appropriately, but it just bothers me for some reason. Feel free to tell me to mind my own business haha. Advice is much appreciated!

What do I do?!?!?!?!? They're cousins!!! half first cousins! My half brothers kid, and my kid. This isn't okay! But They keep finding ways to sneak out and meet up even though we've both prevented them from seeing each other. They're 16 and 17 and say they've been dating in secret for years! YEARS!!! How didn't we know?!?! Only found out a few weeks ago when I... *caught* them doing something cousins should never do!!! They say when they're both 18 they're gonna get married. That's not even legal is it? How can I talk some sense into them???  This was hardly my "first thought" as I said I found out weeks ago. I'm posting here because nothing my brother and I do seem to be making an impact. We've tried grounding them, they find a way to sneak out. We try to tell them it's wrong and they refuse to understand. I'm getting to the point where I might have to just handcuff her to her bed when she's home. I don't know what else to do. Maybe take her out of school so she's always in my eye. Getting indoor lock on the door, bar the window...

So just moved back home after breaking up with bf of 4.5 years. We lived together. So it's hard being back home, it's abit negative here at the moment, mum deals With a drug addict daughter (my sister) and her 6 year old son who she takes care of and he mostly lives here. Mum never has money because she pays everything for brother and sister who don't work and are selfish. So she bascially puts all her stress on my telling me about it. It's been going on since my nephew was born. I work 4 days a week which is good to keep busy but how else do I get over a breakup and make home life positive when it's not ?? I can't afford to get my own place

My aunt has been forcing my whole family to go to the cemetery every Sunday since my grandmother died (3 and a half years ago). No one wants to go but her and when we try to tell her that she's being unreasonable, she guilt-trips us and tell us we did not love my grandmother enough to be visiting her every Sunday.  I, personally, pray for her on my own. Everyone is trying to find a way to talk some sense into her. Need tips.

I had to return a carpet cleaner her parents needed since my father in-law had an accident on the carpet. So I rented a carpet cleaner and soap. The next day. i took the carpet cleaner back to home depot. Then i thought I will get my wife her favorite dinner Carolina BBQ from a Raleigh,Nc. When I got home with her Carolina BBQ  she chewed me out for not taking my 19 year old daughter to work in time her mother who lives next door had to take my daughter to work. So i guess I screwed up.  

My sister dropped out of high school thinking its best to be the girl that acted tough and her growing up and watching kardashins did not help her at all. she became very anxious after dropping out since she was alone and her ex would leave her later on. let me be straight ive been through the same situation but instead of giving up like her i decide to continue and get my diploma and graduate, i had to accept the fact that i messed up and should've of thought about it when i was still young. my sister doesn't think that. I tell her its best to face her problems but avoids them by telling me to leave. she still walks around her high school after school hours for some reason but i just see it as her being a loser who's not even in school. I tell her stop thinking of the past and present and think of the future. She starts screaming at me and thinks she been through worse but in reality i did cause what made it worse when i went through my problems was that i accepted the fact i messed up. Shes very ghetto and listens to social media and doesnt have her own mindset. she wants to get her high school diploma with 30 credits she has only. i told her its gonna take long and get the GED instead, but she wont listen. I dont know if i should support her or give up on her.

My mother is disabled and she has found herself alone. Now my mom and I have had a poor relationship for a long time. Her drinking pushed me away. Now her current situation has forced me to have her on my life again. I don t mind going to the grocery store for her once or twice a week and doing things like taking out the trash during my visit. What is an issue is her drinking. If it was up to her she would be drunk 24/7. Her health is non existent. With this she also doesn t have the funds to drink. So she begs me to use my own money and feed her addiction. Which I refuse. She has been blowing up my phone leaving crying/demanding messages for me to bring her booze. No exaggeration here 3am... calling me saying she needs vodka to sleep. This has been going on for weeks and I remember now just how toxic she is to me. Being an only child, she has nobody but me. I feel she might lose me. I don t know how much longer I can take this. I will not enable her. Is there anyone who has had experience with an alcoholic advice would be appreciated.

She's nice to people's face and then insults them when their gone.

My kids are in college, and neither live in my state right now. My daughter and I got into a fight because she drove 4 hours to visit her boyfriend without telling me, and my son called me obnoxious on the phone and later lied about going to the football game just because he knew I'd be disappointed if he didn't go. I am aware that I am bad at keeping my opinions to myself, but I'm realizing that I might not be the mother they want / need right now. Any suggestions for how to be a mother to college kids.

My mom's mother was the exact same way.
