I just want to do something for fun, like riding a horse or archery, but my mother won't let me. She said that girls are supposed to wear dresses and stay at home. And, if she does let me take a class, it has to be educational. If there's no benefit to it, but my mom just turns down the idea. If I say I want to learn to ride a horse, she'd respond with "what's the benefit of that?", I say it's fun and it requires a bit of mental and physical strength, and she laughs back at me saying it's for guys. Any tips on how to deal with this? I'm sick of staying at home..

I'm in seventh grade and my sister is in fourth grade. I don't curse very often, but when I do it's because I'm really mad. I was trying to say "what the heck?" to my little sister because she pushed me. We were just playing around and I was jokingly trying to say "what the heck?". I accidentally said "what the h*ll" instead. It just slipped out and I felt absolutely horrible!! My sister was like "YOU SAID A BAD WOOORRRRDDD!!!!!" I tried to tell her I just said what the heck, since that was what I was trying to say, but she's said "no you said H.E...". I was surprised she even knew what that word was, but I didn't say anything. Now I'm really scared she's going to get me in trouble and I feel horrible.

She's leaving him and she wants us kids to disown him as well. We have to see him for the last time Friday. What do I do? My sisters agreed to my moms terms but I have not yet.

I know it sounds like a dream come true and yet I know that with one mistake I could be out of first place. It's my social skills that make her like me the most. Yet as a kid I had Terrible social skills because of ADHD. So how do I handle the pressure i've been Mother's favorite of the four adult children?

I know my life would be worse but I guess I'm sort of depressed. I got into with with my mom on my way to work. I know she loves me but sometimes I feel like she doesn't really care about me anyone. She literally told me and my older brother are grown men now and she only cares about my sister since she still in high school. I know I'm 18 now and an adult but it still sort of hurts. Then I'm into with my brother, I guess we were not that close but I still aort of looked up to him he's my older brother after all but know we just walk past each other. I think my little sister is the only one that probably loves me but even sometimes she acts like she's annoyed with me and gives me attitude about small things. Idk maybe because she's almost 16 and a teen but she gets angry over small things like my mom. And also have no friends. I dropped out of high school in my senior year so I didn't even graduate. And the few guys that unthought were cool at my job don't even like me. There is this one girl that I talk to that makes me happy but even then she isn't really my girlfriend. I just wish my life was different. I wish I was in a university earning a degree, had a girl, got along with my mom and siblings and had lots of genuine friends but I'm the total opposite of that. What's wrong with me?

Examples of sibling incest ? And examples of what is not invest between siblings ?

I am an adult sibling who has been taking care of my whole family financially (siblings included) for 7 years now. Parents are finally stable to move out of my home. When they left, they say that I am to stay away from my siblings and no longer contact them. TBH, I am the most responsible person and reliable person the kids could ever have in their life. Of the 7 years, I have been registering them for schools, involved in the schools, meeting with the teachers, helping with homework (pretty much been the parents to the kids - of course, I have not mentioned the cooking, cleaning, and everything else involved in taking care of kids). I have not encourage the kids to be bad or influenced them to be bad but apparently the parents say that my kindness have only been "fake" so thus, I am to stay away from the kids. What should I do?

Few days ago I had an awful experience because I was beaten and humiliated by a bully kid, who is about 14-15 years old, and I am 38. I have never been a tough guy, never fight, in fact kind of a wimp I have always been, but I definitely didn't suppose in what a trouble I was getting in at the certain moment. We were outside with my fiancee and her younger sister. We just entered a big park in the city we live when a kid on a skateboard approached and he almost crushed over my fiancee's sister, but jumped from the skateboard to avoid the accident. He got angry and burped twice very loudly totally at the front of her face. So I called him little peasant and he should get ashamed about this awful and rude manner. I really didn't expect the poor situation of myself which followed because a much older than him, well dressed man, with a suit, I am always classy and smart dressed, a dandy guy I am, is making him a remark about his behavior, so I really expected he will feel ashamed. But this little ruffian obviously didn't care about. At the very next moment he punched me on my mouth with a fist and my glasses flew away by the punch, then another fist punch followed in my eye and I just felt on the ground. Both ladies started screaming and I started wipe my bloody lip with a handkerchief. Calling me sissy he made me clean his shoes with my hankie and I just did it. He laughed and kept call me sissy and then he punched my nose really hard and I collapsed crying for mercy. .... Then the bruiser shouted me do I still think he is peasant, kicking my ribs. In tears I screamed he is not and I am so sorry so he just spitted over me and disappeared. The very awful fact was that nobody around helped me and stopped the beating, even more - I heard laughs around. My pitiful situation amused the people around. It is true that there is some fun in case a 38 years old dandy guy is crying of be beaten by a little kid, but in fact I am not a fighter, My fiancee helped me to stand up and to sit on the nearest bench. My face was in blood, my dress shirt, tie, even my dress pants were bloody. Two white cotton handkerchiefs became bloody red because of the bleeding. We called the police then and gave them description of the bully kid. I feel and I know my baby loves me but her sister calls me wimp. I know I post it for a second time but it is because when I rate the best answer and then nobody else can write a comment. Sorry about that guys.

I am 33 male and we have been together for 5 years, she is beautiful and educated girl and unfortunately, she hasn't been so sexy for me, all these years we had just regular sex at the weekend and I did sometimes masturbating just because she refused sex. Unfortunately, I have found out on her phone text message that she was flirting with one our friends and he's married man. After all, she felt sorry and said haven't cheated on me and asked for excused about it. BUT after 6 mounts and despite referring to a family psychologist, I felt so sad about it AND always think that they had sex and fun together because they talked so dirty and sexy lovely. These kinds of thoughts bothering me, we still have just regular sex, I need a hot relationship and love from her! Thanks FOR reading AND PLEASE SEND ANY HELPFUL ADVICE!

I was bidding for something and in 3 hours I was going to win but suddenly the ebay listing is cancelled. i was so excited!!!!!! i can't stop crying i was going to get a new computer i was the only bidder too 

Also what if she says something like "sorry I was mean on the trip in August but you were really annoying and rude" then does that count as an apology?

We lost Mom in October2014 and these past 4 years have been really hard on my dad. They were married for 26 years. I'm in the Navy so I haven't been home for the last 2 years except on leave, but my older sister told me a few months ago that dad has gf and she's changing him. Dad never mentioned her once though we speak 4 or 5 times a week. I'm on leave before shoving off soon, and my sister is right. Dad used to be a jeans or dockets and a solid Polo kind of guy. When I came home he was wearing cargo shorts and a Hawaiian style shirt with station wagons on it. Also, he used to say that I didn't like coffee but I thought I did because I take mine with two tsps of sugar and a tablespoon of French vanilla creamer, which he called sissy powdered millk. He brewed his coffee in a non electric drip potn so he could have coffee even if the power went off. Now he had a kcup coffee maker with a carousel of flavored coffees from Odin's Beard deep dark roast to one called caramel apple. And he uses to be extremely brand loyal with his grooming products. Mach 3 Razor, Barbasol, Skin Bracer, Crest, Coast bar soap, right guard aerosol deodoeant. It didn't matter if something else was on sale, if he asked you to get him some soap and you came home with Irish Spring, you would be taking it back. Now he had sandlewood scented Shaving cream, Proraso aftershave, Dove soap for men and Old source swagger deodorant. Also, I admit that I have issues with the thought of dad dating again, but those are mine too deal with. Dad doesn't deserve to be alone for the rest of his life. I know in my mind that dad isn't replacing my mom, butt that's how it feels in my gut. So I'm keeping my mouth shut because o don't know if my concern is legit or is my gut taking over.

My 20 years old brother just started computer science, he has part time job as personal shoppers makes $1800 a month and our dad sends him $500 a month and also pays for his college. I recently found out through mutual friends that he has a mistress that he calls his queen and he obeys her and calls himself her slave and gives her full of his monthly money and let's her do all those weird stuff to him and once I found out about it I got really disappointed, my brother doesn't know that I know but honestly I don't know how I'm gonna even look to his eyes when I see him and I'm thinking whether parents should know or not I'm his 18 years old sister btw What you would've done in this situation?

Before I begin let me provide some background information - Last year for about 7 months I hid a lot from my parents. I was emotionally unstable and continuously got high with different sorts of drugs to maintain my emotions. This resulted in my hanging out with a bad crowd which then resulted extremely bad, self destructive behavior. I was caught multiple times before I stopped. It has now been about 9 months that I have been doing good with my behavior. However, my poor decisions last year caused me to get behind in school, and I am a year behind in my school work; Now I am doing good in school, I study and work constantly although I am still behind because I missed so much. I try my hardest but me and my mom have a communication issue and to be honest my feelings get hurt when she yells at me when I am simply trying to talk. She takes me phone every night at 10:00 P.M. and on weekends it's 12:00 A.M. She claims it isn't a punishment but she also takes my phone when I get in trouble so to me it feels like a punishment. I feel constantly unmotivated by her, and this just adds to it because I work hard and still receive punishments. I don't yell back when she does, I just want to talk to her. She refuses to admit that she could ever do something wrong parenting but that's not true. I'm hurt by the way she responds to me when I try to talk to her or understand, not just about my phone but about other things too. How do I get her to communicate with me?

I'm 25, and I have good amount in savings, and will get my Master's in Business next October 2020. The problem I have is that I live in an expensive state and want to move to either Florida or Washington after I graduate in October 2020. The problem is that Idk anyone there and I don't know if I should get a place to live first OR get a job lined up first ( Normally Jobs ask you for your address and if they see I'm living in a dif state, I think they may pass on my Resume). Also, I am not sure if I should start looking for jobs a few months before I graduate OR until i fully Graduate?!? What do you think? Also, any tips on moving out of state or advice you could give, would help! Please help me because I'm so stressed! Thank you very much for your help in advance!

i thought this year would be my year. i went to the dermatologist and they fixed my acne. i got my braces off. i'm signed to a modeling agency. like everything's good but i feel so lonely. my parent's marriage is falling apart. my mom left my dad last night and she's picking my brother and i up next week and i thought they were fine for these past months but i guess not. i'm 15 and now i'm in charge of my household bc my dad's an emotional wreck. my brother is on the verge of killing himself, my mom's nowhere to be found. i'm the strong one, ive always been. my friends have been leaving me left and right and every guy i've ever talked to has leaded me on and then tore me into a million pieces. i just don't understand how life could be so unfair. why do people even believe in god? god hasn't done anything nice except put more challenges in your face every time you even get closer to your goal. god isn't helpful he's just the biggest prick of them all. why do good people always get hurt? i don't understand like why do people chose to be good when they know that they won't get anything in return. the mean, evil people get everything they want so why not be them? why do the people who have dreamed of falling in love their entire lives get nothing? anyone who has ever been any ounce of hopeful has gotten nothing. i'm just so confused

This happened 2 days ago. I have sort of a daily routine. I get home from school by around 3pm. Around 3:15pm, my mom leaves to pick my dad up from work and they usually get home around 4:15pm-4:30pm. When my mom leaves I can do my routine in peace, and because I have the house to myself, I can take a nice long shower without anybody hounding me about wasting water lol I usually get in the shower at like 3:30pm which leaves me about an hour to relax. So I take an awesome shower and head over to my room to get dressed. Well, it turns out that apparently my dad called my mom right after she left and told her he had to stay late, so instead of her getting home at 4:15pm-4:30pm she got home at like 3:45pm. I usually keep my clothes in my room instead of bringing them with, and so when I walked out of the bathroom I was completely naked (with a towel around my shoulders) A split second after I walked out I looked down the hallway and my mom was sitting on the couch facing me. It all happened so fast but she looked at my face, then looked at my penis and immediately looked away in shock. I ran to my room and stayed there all night. I understand comments like "She saw you naked as a baby and changed your diapers" but that's not the worst part of the situation. I've NEVER told ANYONE about this before because it's really embarrassing (which is why I made this question anonymous) but I have a very small penis. Soft it's about 1 inch and hard it's about 3 inches and definitely thinner than average. Also, because it's so small it doesn't need much blood to get hard and so I have frequent "random" erections. It happens a lot after a shower once I start drying off that area. So yeah, unfortunately I was really hard by the time I walked out. I know for a fact she saw it, maybe just a glance but she definitely saw it before looking away, plus the couch is only like 10 feet from the bathroom. I don't know what to do. I've had like 3 panics attacks since it happened and I pretty much haven't even left my room. And I know that her seeing it is a lot different than a regular girl seeing it, but I can't stop wondering what was going through her mind at the time. Literally nobody knows how small my penis is and now she does. And the uncertainty is killing me. Was she embarrassed for me? Did she find it funny or something? I can't take this.

My mother recently passed away a week ago. We found her a wheel and it stated that my 28-year-old younger brother was entitled to everything the house the money all of it but he lives 3000 miles away on the West Coast and I live on the East Coast and he stated that he's not coming back here at all so if he doesn't show up for the reading of the will is that mean I am Entitled to everything instead of him because he doesn't want to come here he knows that his name is on the wheel to receive everything but he stillDoesn't want to come this way

I keep hearing that women complain they must look good to get a spouse but then they all look for money

My brother died of brain cancer 2 years ago at the age of 21. I got over it pretty quickly since we were never close, however my parents are still sad about it and I'm not sure why since like I said it's been 2 years. How do I tell them to move on with their lives.

The minute my daughter turned 18 she left for college & cut all ties w/ me. Now that she has a kid she won't let me see her either. She says it's because I emotionally abused her, her whole life, which is not true, she's just a brat. She would constantly cry when she was younger because I hurt her feelings & i would always tell her to stop being a brat & too stop being so sensitive. I personally think she's overreacting & i told her to stop pretending to be a victim, life isn't always fair, i dont need to be comforting her. She says I'm a bad influence on her daughter. How can I make her let me see my granddaughter?

My dad constantly makes me cry & laughs & makes fun of me for it, is this normal? Why does he hate me so much?

I m planning on cutting my parents out of my life once I graduate from hs, they re always calling me names & making me cry. Do you think its justifiable for a kid to cut his parents out of his life after they re raised him for 18 years or will i be seen as ungrateful

My parents constantly complain about me not calling them. I go to school in NY, they live in Chicago. I don't see them that often.  I've told them that they should call me more because sometimes I forget when I'm free and available to talk to them. They never do. Every time I do call they're preoccupied with something and usually don't talk to me for more than 5 minutes

i'm a man aged early forties and i have lived alone for 14 years now in a 3rd floor council flat, its a 4 story building, and i live on the 3rd floor...at night and even daylight hours its very quiet and lonely feeling in here.. and when you're like me, a person who has had a difficult life, had mental health problems and never established any relationships and are literally on your own apart from your elderly parents who live far from you- life can be a lonely isolating experience.. also, its not easy for me to just ''go outside and do things'' because i have severe anxiety, paranoia and can lose my composure- so i hide away inside...lonely, feeling abandoned and bored. my neighbours never bother with me or each other and lock themselves behind their doors like me.....how do i cope with feeling so disconnected from people in a silent-lonely apartment?

I was playing some basketball earlier on the playground. A couple of bullies started bullying me and then I got into a fight with them. All I was trying to do was to relax with my friends and playing some basket ! Anyways, now my mom is threatening to send me to Montclair in California to go live with my uncle, Richard Burnish. Now, I know she's doing this because she fears for my safety, but I really don't wanna go and lose all my friends and such. As I'm writing this... she's still packing my suitcase. How can I convice her to not send me there ?? :(

Ok so I was talking to my mom about my teacher and what she said to me in class. My teacher said that she is related to John Wilkes Booth and I told her that my brother had a class mate that was related to Abraham Lincoln. My teacher misheard me and thought that my brother was related to Abraham Lincoln and I corrected her saying that it was his classmate that is related to Abraham Lincoln. This was the conversation I told my white mom at the dinner table and she told me that I'm black and that I could not be related to Abraham Lincoln. At this point I got pissed off because I told her before that I preferred to be labeled a Hispanic and not black. Then she screamed at me telling me to be proud to be black. At this point I'm very pissed because A she keeps labeling me a black person and B she told me to be proud to be black. She has no right to tell me that because she doesn't know what it's like to be black. It made me so angry to the point where I had to cry. I feel offended, disgusted, and insecure when she calls me black. Why do I get so angry when she brings up my true race?!

My mother and she hated each other so I never saw her again after my grandmother died 28 years ago. I was six years old then and had only met her once or twice. Apparently the aunt has four kids who'd be my cousins but I've never met them. I live twenty minutes away only so the funeral will be local next Saturday. My mother lives in Florida so obviously won't be traveling to the funeral. She said she isn't writing to the kids cause she's never met them and their likely as rotten as their mother. The hatred stems from an estate issue and sister competition when growing up.

My sister in law dislikes my mother. She dislikes my mother because my mother talks AT her, nonstop, while my sister in law is busy (looking after children, etc.). Thus my sister in law and brother won't invite my mother to visit except for 24 hours at Thanksgiving. I know this because my sister in law and brother tell me so. They don't like me either, and my brother doesn't really like my parents; my SIL and brother don't tell me that but it's clear. My mother is about to go fuss at my brother for the infrequent visits. That won't do any good. Isn't there a way to tell my mother, "When you visit them, just leave SIL alone and minimize the time you spend talking to her. And keep the visits short. That way, you might be able to at least get invited."?

I live on the east coast and I am 31. I am in a student loan hell, making only 40K in customer service with a useless English degree. $900 of the $2,200 that I take home each month goes towards student loans - most of them private. I can only reasonably afford $650/month for housing, but that gets me nothing here. I have looked at some very unsafe locations and would prefer to live out of my car, now that my parents are kicking me out and moving out of the state. The question is how can I live out of my car? Where can I park at night without getting in trouble or breaking any laws? Do I shower at the YMCA each day? I need guidance. What about summer and winter, when it gets too hot or cold in the car? All answers are appreciated. Thanks.

I live foreign country now not in USA now?
