My boyfriend/ baby dad, baby's mom feel that I was trying to start something by showing up with our baby's father to drop off their sons clothes. Lol I was just trying to be nice because he's actually the one that invited me to come along.  

My boyfriend/baby's father of 4 months, feel that I'm better than his first baby's mom because she doesn't have anything. I don't argue with him, I help him whenever he needs money and I have my own place (Which he's staying with me.) His first baby's mom on the other hand, have nothing but a baby. She put him on child support, and she's mad because she can't have him back (even though he did deny they slept together), she's still telling me that he slept with her in September like I really care. As long as he said he didn't, then I'll believe him.  -That is all.

My two sisters rarely talk. I am afraid that if I tell my sister that she is coming over it might make my other sis jealous bc she invited her first and didn't want to see her but instead chose to see me. Do you think if I tell her she'll get mad at my sis for picking me over her?

I'm from Ireland and I didn't wear underwear to bed only pyjama bottoms and I think most other children in my extended family and children in Ireland were raised like that. I realised 10-15 years ago that children in north America wear underwear to bed. I am just wondering is it a cultural thing or it something that every family does differently?

I have this amazing friend who was the best. We did so many fun things together including hang out at each other's houses and give each other handmade items. I didn't talk to her for about two years and recently I contacted her to say I was sorry. However, now I'm always the one texting her first or calling her first even though she has invited me to places. Should I let this friendship go again? 

all those phone calls that he made to me were just about him asking me for money it was rare when we had an actual conversation that did not involve money it got to the point that I just got fed up with the situation this was being a monthly routine from his part asking for money. He has mailed my old address now asking my mother for money I haven't talked to the man since then and ever since I have been having dreams with my father meeting my two daughters which he does not know in person or via phone but now I feel the heart to reach out to the old man at least for a phone call and tell him about his grandkids that he does not know personally but then again I am not sure if he would even care since the only thing that matters to him is money I just want some advice if I should go forward with the decision and send him a card with my family picture since the last time I talked to him I was 22 and now I am 29 thank you for your answers and sorry for the run along sentences.

My teenage step son likes to have his friends over to hang out with him. The first time he did this I overheard him tell his friends "I will introduce you to my beautiful, hot, sexy mom". "I am very proud of her". I am not sure that is something he should be saying about his mom. Should I talk to him about that not being something appropriate to say about his mom or just take it as a compliment and forget about it?

I get left out of things more times than not.  Every year for Thanksgiving my parents go to be with my stepsister, step brother in law, and my niece and nephew. I never get asked to join. Although they didn't hesitate to ask me to babysit their dog while they were gone.  A lot of times they have had the family over and I won't know about it until later when pics and videos of my niece and nephew are posted on social media.  And my mom makes sure to update me on all the "cute" and "funny" things they did when they were over.  And brag non stop about all the stuff they did together. But VERY rarely do I get included.  My parents have stopped buying Christmas gifts for everyone but the kids and their dog.  But I still get them gifts anyway, because I genuinely want to. The last time I bought my mom a gift she acted rather ungrateful.  I have bought her things throughout the year simply, because.  And she still has hinted to me "Hey! If you ever want to buy me something just because."  Nothing I do is enough.  If they don't include me, even if I reached out, it's always "we haven't seen you in awhile."  Yeah? Imagine that!  I've asked to be included, I've tried to include you! I've been generous with my time and my money. I've expressed my door is always open. I am seriously about to completely give up.  Not call and ask to see them. Not invite them over or out with me. No more gifts. No more cards. Just, if they want to see me the ball is in their court. What would you do? It genuinely hurts to not be included so often. I've started looking inward at myself. Am I too annoying?  Are they embarrassed of me?  Does my mom hate that bracelet I bought her for Christmas?   Tom, I like your way of thinking.  I do have friends, and a lovely fiance' in my life. If it weren't for them I don't know where I'd be.  I express my gratitude for them.  Always make sure they know they are appreciated...

People like one with some ADHD and maybe mild autism who talks super loud through no fault of her own. A cousin my mother is prejudice about cause he had bad social skills in college (he is now 45 and excellent all around). An aunt my mother is HORRIBLE TO because she to might not have the best etiquette but is very good hearted. A branch of her family she despises cause of stuff that is long water over a damn from the 1970's. My step-father's family she discriminates against cause one member suffered from mental illness like I do. How do I respectfully point out to my mother her cruel bias' against certain members of her family who are good people and she is prejudice about? It is so immoral of her. I am no saint myself but I am better then her.

Growing up I was banned by my mother from her family cause she didn't want me to see her father who suffered from alcoholism. I missed out every year on the family holiday time. The grandfather has died and things got better in his later years but my mother still wouldn't do holidays and so they stopped asking us. Now the family does their own things with their own kids as both grandparents have died. We do the family thing in summer now but there are no holiday celebrations. What I am grieving is the lost years. For 7 years I missed getting to know my cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. I got to know the grandparents the 2nd half of my life before they died. However, the others remain distant. I grieve this loss. My mother says she was protecting me but I think she was using me to get her anger at her father out. If she was there to supervise there was no danger to me. So how do I break the grieving of the lost family this holiday season? Eight years now since the last grandparent died and so eight years of grieving from Thanksgiving to New Year. I want to break it this year into next. I am dreading the bad memories that come Thursday, Thanksgiving.

His kids don't want to be near him so they are with their Mom and step-father. My mother is having her brother. I would be fine with it accept my Mom shunned my father from me as a kid until I broke free of my Mom. Her reasoning was that he was an alcoholic. Now she is having her brother who is the exact same thing and she covers up for her brother when she insulted those who covered up for my Dad (which I do). I got close to my Dad as a teen but always resented my mother keeping me from him when my grandparents had offered to supervise so I was perfectly safe. SHE IS SERVING ALCOHOL, I am asking if she should reconsider and not serve it. 

There will be 13 or 14 people there but two of them will be my sister (she has a friend with her). What do I do? I dread seeing her but have to, I don't want to stay away from my grandmother's and I know how mad my mother would be. Also an out of town brother is coming from Seattle who I have not seen since last Christmas, his son will also be with him. I haven't spoken to my sister since summer.

so i went to karpathos during the summer and my cousins were there too and so were there cousins. I am gonna let you in on a secret ok i dont like and hate my cousins cousins but now i hate them even more after this summer. This summer they were making fun of me and looking at me whispering into each others ears with a smile and then looking directly at me, they also on the beach once purposely jumped right next to my chair and got rocks all over me. Didnt even say sorry like it was an accident just kept walking past. My mom keeps saying they say they are sorry that i feel like they are doing it on purpose and they are sorry well of course they are saying that they are gonna come up with some excuse to hide the fact that they are being mean to me and being 3 jerks or as us greeks call them malakas. They are not gonna come right out and say oh yeah we are being mean to your son or anything they are gonna lie and make something up to make me look like the bad guy so i dont know what their deal is since they dont even know me to be doing this stuff but i dont either of the 3 of them at all and for now on anytime they are over my cousins house im not going over cause im not dealing with them at all.

So I am a 16 year old guy and at my youth group there is this 19 year old guy who I used to harass over texts and other social media for fun over a year ago (i was stupid) and i ended up getting in big trouble for it after he told the leaders and i was told to stop or i would get banned from youth group basically and fast forward to today, i've moved on but still go to the same youth group and i have two "friends" who found the guys instagram and told me their sending him my nudes and harassing and they thought it was funny. i'm really stressed and upset because i don't want to take the blame for what they're doing or get banned or anything like that and i told them to please stop but they don't care

I want to ask is how can he be messed up for 3 days? He said he took xanax but idk how much. Is it possible for someone to be messed up for 3 days? My parents don't notice it but I can tell cause his speech is slurred and he is moving extremely slow. Also he lives with my grandma so when I go to my grandmas how should I approach him?

Sex with. I'm 26 and he's 50. It just makes me uncomfortable. Mainly because I never got younger women growing up because I was bullied at school and at home so it kind of feels like he's taunting me. I don't know how to deal with this.

I'm 21 years old and still living at home. I want to move out because i'm very unhappy at home. My parents are divorced, and both of my step parents are mean. No matter which parent I live with, i'll be unhappy because i'll have either my stepdad or stepmom being mean to me. I'm not allowed to live with any other relatives because it would "embarrass" my parents, so moving out is the absolute ONLY way to get away from BOTH of my step parents. Not only that, but I REALLY want a dog while my parents don't, so moving out is the only way i'll be able to get a dog. I told my parents ahead of time that I decided to move out, but they keep saying things like "We don't want you to move out yet!" and even "You're too young to move out!" and "Your older sister didn't move out until she was 27.". I don't want to wait until i'm 27 to move out! I want to move out as soon as possible! A majority of my friends live on their own, and even people younger than me live on their own! My parents keep telling me the cons like "You'll have to pay your own bills!" and "You'll have to do your own grocery shopping!", but i'd much rather work full-time and pay my own bills than put up with my step parents! I have a part-time job and work 20 hours a week, but I can start working full-time if that's what I really need. Also, i'm not going to just move into an apartment by myself! I'm going to move in with a roommate and split the rent with them, and I already have enough saved up to pay rent the first month or two. I just REALLY want to leave home so I can be happy again like before my parents divorced! Being a child of divorce is too hard and I hate it! I want to move somewhere where I won't be around either of my step parents. How do I talk to my parents about moving out? They treat me like a child in general and want me to live with them for as long as possible, but I want out! I have a good reason why I want to move out, but if I tell my parents the real reason why I want to leave, they'll get upset with me. Also, I can't just move out without them knowing. They'll resent me if I do that! All I want is a GOOD, HAPPY living situation!  How can I convince my parents to be okay with me moving out? They think i'm too young AND they don't think I have what it takes to live on my own. I'm NOT too young, and i'm going to make sure I have a full-time job when i'm living on my own. I'm also going to go grocery shopping every single week. Should I tell them that because i'm legally an adult, they have NO say when I move out, or would that be disrespectful to say? Don't tell me to call the police. I don't want my parents to get in trouble. I just want to move out! Mark IX Instead of accusing me of whining or being immature, why don't you actually ANSWER my question? If nobody on here will help me, i'm going to go ask this question on Quora or Reddit instead. Thank you KittenLittle! You were the only one who helped me. :)

My mom has a stroke and her frustration is justifiable. However, her hitting my little brother and telling him everything is his fault is too much. She yells at him and tells him he can't do anything right when I couldn't disagree and less. He is smart. He is capable of plenty of things. He has areas he is weak in, but he isn't stupid. I want to protect him, but if I protect him I feel like I'm picking sides. I don't want my mom to feel isolated or alone or like I don't care about her feelings. I want to help her too. I don't know how to handle this..

My teeth are the worst part of my body. I was born with little enamel and something along the way messed my teeth up bad. They make me very depressed and I'm always wanting them taken out.I recently told my mom because I wanted to see a dentist even though I was terrified and they were nice but made me feel stupid like I needed to be lectured like a little kid. A week later I wanted some diet soda and my mom screamed at me and humiliated me in front of people about how much my teeth will cost to fix even though I take care of them. I haven't stopped crying since and I don't even wanna eat or drink anymore cause I'm scared to mess them up more :( 

...I have three stepkids who are all grown adults and out of the house. There are two boys and one girl. The girl has been spoiled and narcissistic all their adult lives;....they all admit this. Ever so often, usually on holidays, she throws a fit about something silly and goes months without speaking to anyone, then comes back and acts like nothing happened. She recently did it to her dad(my husband) and me(very sublety to me though). At a graduation and at last year's Thanksgiving, she pretended we weren't there and didn't exist. She also got up from the table when she was seated by her dad in order to move to a different chair. Her dad has done nothing to her. We all know this. She won't even tell him what's wrong. She tells everyone else that it's because she had to find out through Facebook that we got married. That's not true. I was laying right beside him when he told her on the phone. Her brothers, along with their wives avoid conflict like plague;...they just wish it would go away. I myself was raised to not allow disrespect. I refuse to attend Thanksgiving at brother A's house due to her being there. I'm going to my sister's. My question is,....should his sons stand ip for him and tell her to either act right or stay away? Everyone just "sweeps it under the rug".

I am 16 years old and a Sophomore in high school. My current school is really hard for me, I am the new kid and even though I am relatively social, I've had a hard time making friends. What doesn't help is that because I go to a private school full of overachieving students and I am only average, I am in all freshman classes. I was planning on trying to go back to my old school, but me and my mom think it would be a better idea for me to go and live with my aunt in another state for next semester. I used to live there so I have friends that go to that school, and all my family lives there. It's a relatively small town, and I really miss living there and want to try living up there for a few months. My mom and my aunt as well as her son and my cousin who also lives there are all for my going, but my dad doesn't want me to go because he feels like I'm just running away from my problems and he is worried that I wont have a father figure. I really want to try it though, and it would only be temporary if I misbehaved or didn't like it. Any suggestions?

I'm unhappy being near her and trying to move out

How would a child react that her mother has several permanent tattoos on her body that she got before she was born? How would she react when she sees a video of her mother getting those tattoos. Her mother showed this to her in order to show her how she got them.

Long story short, my 31-year-old sister hacked my phone to pieces with a meat cleaver because she got angry at me (I'm 29) after a verbal argument that she started. She still lives with my parents and I just came to visit for a couple hours. After our argument, I went downstairs to leave and she stormed after me - enraged. She snatched my phone out of my hands, ran to the kitchen, grabbed a meat cleaver from a drawer and started hacking away at it like she was Michael Myers. I've never seen an episode like that from someone. She then looked at me with the meat cleaver and screamed, "Do you want to **** with me again?!" I don't even want to think about what would have happened to my hand if I tried to grab my phone during that scene.This girl has had a lot of issues over the years (e.g. a 3 month marriage). This is NOT an isolated incident, but it's never been this crazy. What worries me most is that she did this with her 3-year-old daughter (who she shockingly has full custody of) right upstairs. Whose to say the next time she won't let it out on her or someone else?So far, I've gone to the police but I told them I didn't want to press charges. They came by my parents' house where she lives with her daughter (my parents weren't home) and she apparently lied and painted a completely different picture. Should I press charges or just let it go? I don't think it's normal at all for people to grab meat cleavers when they're angry and start going crazy.

So I want to get a iPhone 11 and right now I have an iPhone XR which my dad is still paying for through AT&T, and I have about 400 dollars in cash and I want to go to the apple store and give them my iPhone XR for a trade in gift card then use that and my cash to get an iPhone 11 and then put the sim card in the iphone 11. im worried will my dad know i got a new phone? i can hide it so he wont see it but will he get an alert from AT&T

I'm exausted from work and still stopped to get is food to eat. I asked her to grab me a beer on the way back in after smoking outside. She brings the whole 12 pack and says she doesnt feel like dealing with that. I feel kind of offended.
