Family: Question: How to get my parents to trust me driving?

Question: How to get my parents to trust me driving?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 01:49 PM PST

I'm 16 and just passed my road test a few days ago (can get full license at 17 in my state). Whenever I mention that I'll be driving right after my birthday (less than a month), they make sure that I know that's not necessarily true, which basically means I'll have to wait like a month after I get my license to drive by myself. I'm the only kid in my area who goes to this school 20 minutes away and driving would help me out a looooot. How can I get my parents to trust me/how long do you think I'll have to wait?

Question: Please give some advice. Thank you. ?

I have two precious step children. They are ages 3 & 6. I have known them about 2 years and been married to their dad for 6 months. On the weekends, we carry them home to their moms and her husbands house. My husband and I both go inside and interact with them. The kids are very loving to me and we have a great relationship, but something about when I try to hug them bye or have my arms out (mainly at their moms), they don't want to. They are sometimes like that at our house, but when I give them a hug they usually don't say no at our house. They say they love me and hug me all the time at our house. Should it hurt or bother me when they're like that at their moms? Does it mean anything? And should I just not hug them at their moms?

Question: My baby's father told his other baby's mom "she hurt his soul". What does that mean?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 12:42 PM PST

So, my baby's father answered his other baby's mom video call while I was braiding his hair. (He's living with me) and he said to her that "she hurt his soul" what does that mean? I did show half of my face in the camera too but I didn't say anything.

Question: Family issues?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 10:53 AM PST

My parents bought me a pc to do homework and recently got a new monitor (Black Friday) so I've been excited and playing around 3-4 hours during this Thanksgiving break. Whenever they ask for help I'm in the middle of something, I ask for a few seconds to shut down the pc, use the restroom real quick, and etc. They expect me to be there right when they ask. Anyway, they told me to do my homework before we went to my grandma's and I did half of it and my plan was to do the other half when we get back Sunday afternoon. I'm failing two advanced classes but I have improved them. Yesterday there were things to be unloaded from the car. I was in the middle of drinking my water and my father asked for help. I told him I'll be there as soon as I finish my drink. After finishing the drink, I went to unload the car. I walked past my father at the door and he angrily said "You useless **** you never help". This angered me because I do help whenever they ask to wash dishes, move things, vacuum the house, and etc. I pushed him in anger and he got mad and started to punch me in my face. I punched him back once and said "Back off old man". I stopped fighting and backed off. My grandpa held me but I didn't even bother fighting anymore. My mother held my father but he still tried to fight. My father is mentally unstable. He said I'm getting grounded from my phone, pc, ps4, getting all my nice clothes taken away for at least 8 months. Isn't this punishment too severe? Who's wrong in this? Help?

Question: My father in law?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 10:47 AM PST

My FIL has got to a point health wise he needs 24  hour care, my husband is a only child and said he made a promise to never put his parents in a nursing home, he wants to move FIL in our house as I am a stay at home mom and we could hire a nurse with FIL retirement check.  Me and FIL have not always had the best relationship so I said absolutely NO!! Now my husband says he feels I am making him choice his dad or his family, I should not put him in that situation. Am I wrong for saying no?? 

Question: Is it normal to feel I own my father a lot?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 10:23 AM PST

I'll always feel in debt with him. It's been 3 years since he literally pushed (as hard as possible) me out of the way of an oncoming car driven by a female drunk driver. He was working too hard (no rest at all) and it was me that suggested him to take a day off; my fault. He nearly didn't make it. Yet, after his surgery and while he was still recovering... instead of asking for himself, he asked for me and if I'm ok. I'll always feel I own him forever. I tried giving him part of my monthly earning, expensive gifts for his b-day, Father's day and doing all these gestures. He declined them all, saying it's not needed. All he asks for (I think it's very little... he nearly died) is my health and for me to finish college. I feel I'm in debt with him forever. I own him a lot and he asks for so little. Is it normal to feel that way? That vehicle was meant for me to get run over. It was right in my direction and he saved me, nearly dying. I own him forever and he doesn't think so. He wants me to stop feeling guilty.

Question: Is it crazy for a woman to let her baby's father live with her?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 09:02 AM PST

My baby's father has another baby with another woman and he's staying with me. Is that crazy that I'm letting him stay with me? 

Question: I wish I was dead after what my mom said ?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 08:42 AM PST

I moved to a new city a year ago and purchased a 1BR condo. I knew it was a huge risk and that if I lost my job I'd be in deep trouble because the area has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and it's not cheap to live here.  After a year, I lost my job the company went bankrupt. I've been desperately trying to make it on my own. I'm working 2 jobs one as a cashier making 9 per hour and another as a substitute teacher making 80 per day. Even with both jobs I can't pay all of my bills. I'm in the process of putting my house on the market and looking for work elsewhere. Until then, my mother has been financially helping me since May. Today I was visiting her and she burst into tears and told me she can't keep doing this and I'm bleeding her dry and she wants to enjoy retirement and that she wished she'd never given birth to me. I already feel extreme guilt over everything. The guilt is honestly unbearable. I've honestly thought about suicide so much lately. I'm doing the best I can given my circumstances. I have to sell the house it's been on the market for 2 weeks now.  My mom telling me she wishes she never gave birth to me makes me feel so horrible it's unbearable. I don't know what to do to be honest. 

Question: Why does my mom ignore me?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 08:38 AM PST

I asked her this question many times, " why don't you want to talk to me and listen to me" and she says that she does want to talk to me and she does listen to me, but she obviously doesn't since I have to ask her and she doesn't act like it.  I ask her questions and tell her things, but she doesn't respond and looks annoyed when I say and ask. I'm so tired of this to where I'm not telling her anything at all whatsoever. I'm not telling her when I get bullied or when someone or something gets on my nerves. I'm telling when I found something great like a new tv show or a funny video on youtube. I'm not telling anything.  Same thing for everyone else too: I'll just stay in my own world and not let anyone in unless I genuinely like them or something, but otherwise, I'm closing myself because no one at all wants to talk to ne anyway. What's the point of talking when no one listens and wants to her me?

Question: Wife and I are at each other’s throats?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 08:25 AM PST

We are 25(me) & 23( her). Married in July after dating about a year and a half. The dating was sure bliss, never lived together. When she wants to be, she's the most bubbly, fun person ever, but when she's mad( lately we're mad at each other a ton) she's just downright nasty. Let's just say, I forget to put a towel in the hamper, it's 45 minutes of arguing about whether or not I'm selfish. Sometimes she'll just sit next to me all ticked off, full on pout mode, I'll ask, " what's wrong?" She'll roll her eyes and say " fine, it's obvious you don't care" and storm off. I'd hate to think we need counseling just 4-5 months in, but, is that the right route? She dated a few guys before me, I dated girls before her, we both felt ready 

Question: Was I stupid and impulsive?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 07:29 AM PST

I went abroad and on the last day had a summer romance. We both just clicked and I couldn't bear going home but had to. We kept in contact through whatsapp and talked everyday. I realised I was unhappy at home and couldn't forget him so within a week I decide to make plans to go back and see him (he had been asking me constantly), we were both excited, but when I go there, his dad refuses to let us see each other. I was stuck in that horrible country in a squalid apartment for a whole month crying and heartbroken. I couldn't go home because my ticket was non refundable and the apartment is paid for was paid in cash for a whole month so I decided to stay the course. I mostly just ate takeout, slept and went out to the bar most nights. The whole month there cost me about $4000 which was most of my savings from my part time job (while I went to college). I recently found out the dad wouldn't let me see him because I stayed in my own apartment (because my parents insisted) and his parents were offended because I didn't stay with them. I think the reason was all about money, they wanted me to pay them to stay there. Now college is over, I've wasted all my savings, I need a job and I am so heartbroken. I don't keep in contact anymore with him because I feel like we've lost our chance so there's no point in a long distance relationship especially is his parents are too stupid to let us see each other when I've spent a fortune to get there.

Question: How much should You be expected to pay for sleeping on family couch?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 07:22 AM PST

I got divorced and fell on hard times. I currently can't speak to or see my kids because their mom filed a false protective order against me in another state than where I live. I drove otr in a truck for a year, and found a local job so that I could become stable and secure a home for myself and my kids. I currently live on my parents couch (couch that I brought them), but instead of letting me stack my money to move out, after being here a month my mom is telling me I owe 300 dollars a month for the couch. I have no privacy. My nieces and nephews live here and they're always in my face. Sand is always on the couch where I sleep. I'm gone most of the day at work. I don't think 300 dollars a month is fair knowing what I'm attempting to do.  But my mom won't budge. I'm considering just moving into the shelter or just going back otr. Am I being crazy because 300 dollars isn't bad or am I right? I also bring my own food which they eat, the only electricity I use is to charge my phone.

Question: You should get up without help/helping of your mother?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 07:08 AM PST

Are these the same meaning? 1.You should get up without helping of your mother. 2.You should get up without help of your mother.

Question: My sister's boss "won't let" her quit?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 06:23 AM PST

My sister is disabled and has been at her job for about 3 years. She's a good employee, always covers for others and never misses work. She hates her job and found a new job that she likes. She put her two weeks in at her first job three months ago. Her boss refuses to stop scheduling her because she knows that due to my sister's disabilities, she won't say no or tell her that she can't keep working. My sister is terrified to say anything so she just keeps going to work. She's working two jobs now. Can I legally do anything? Will her rep at adult protecrive services be able to do anything if I can't? I'm getting tired of having to see my sister work over ten hours a day and she doesn't want me to step in because she says she will get yelled at. I'm at my wits end and want to help, but I don't want to be controlling or go against her wishes.  I should mention that I know she can just stop showing up. We tried to get her to do that and she panicked and called her boss because she was afraid. I do not force her to do anything or try to make decisions for her, only advise her, so I can't force her to stop going. 

Question: Been trying to look for my stepdaughter her brother passed away and can t find her?

Question: Ho do I mend relationship with my brother?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 05:29 AM PST

My brother went through horrible sickness with his wife that caused her demise two years ago. He is only 50 years old. My sisters, mother and I supported him all the way through those times. Last year my sisters had some argument over about $1000 with him.  The money was inheritance from my father.  None of us need that money except my brother. My sisters wanted their share saying "it is the only thing left from our father and we want to buy something special with that money to remember him." I understand where they are coming from. I also understand that my brother had to hire attorney, real estate agent and made several trips to get that $1000.  He said he spend more than $1000, he wanted to be re imbursed.  At the end he gave the money but stopped talking to us.  He would not answer texts, phones , emails.  I sent him some money because I know he needs money. He accepted it but nothing more than that. I would like to have relationship with him and I was never involved with the argument in the first place. I am very angry with my sisters since they made it a big deal.  They could have bought something with their own money in lieu of that money to remember my father. (I loved my father but nothing materiel that I buy will make me remember him more than our memories). I am angry that they were so argumentative about $1000 that they absolutely dont need. How do I approach my brother to make our relationship start again?

Question: Is she telling the truth?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 03:08 AM PST

My wife left me last month because she hated where we live ,how we live even though she never worked and i paid every bill , mortgage and all the other crap too go with it . ! she suffered with menopausal , stress, anxoity. she then tells me sex doesn't do anything to her and she is discusted that I talk about sex,well the only reason being is because we didn't have sex since april  she wanted too be with her family every day. I`m her third husband a truck driver and she has no trust in me whatso ever, even with money. we was married three years everything was good until this year when she reacons menopause was the problem  . was it my fault cause I`m a typical guy that enjoys sex , forepay, romance , kissing , cuddling or is she  lying and fell out of love and couldn't get what she wanted out of me. so she called it a day

Question: WHY DOES HE IGNORE ME and then ask my sister about me?

Posted: 01 Dec 2019 12:40 AM PST

My cousin started ignoring my texts, calls, etc (for 6 months now)..and out of the blue he comments on my sisters thanksgiving picture post that I was not in the picture and asked "Where is Arianna?" and there were a lot of people missing too so I don't get him. I thought he hated me. I know he receives my messages because it says read. I don't think I should talk to him, right? I just don't get why he started ignoring me..I thought he hated me...and now he asks my family about me...What was that about? I don't understand...I don't think it's healthy for me to be around family like this. He also looks at my instagram stories and whatsapp stories but still doesn't message back. It was also odd that he didn't like my sisters post and just asked where is Arianna? I think I've decided not to talk to him anymore....maybe once in like 4 years...

Question: Urgently need help?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 09:35 PM PST

My parents found out I'm sexually active, and they got violent. My dad hit me with a belt various times and now I'm bleeding, my mom punched me in the face. They took away my phone and said they won't give it back and even attempted to break it. I bought that phone with my own money. The thing is that I'm 18. I want to leave this house by tonight but I know they will get violent with me. What can I do to leave without them getting violent? I don't want to press charges against them though.

Question: My grandma is problematic but I hate not talking to her?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 09:17 PM PST

My relationship with my grandmother is complicated. I love her. But she's hurt me in the past and has a relly difficult personality. She often lies about serious stuff, humiliates people and family members and steals from them. I think she may have a mental condition Idk. But after all, she really cares about me. She's been there for me despite the distance. I feel sad because she's getting too old and I'd like to be there for her. But every time I get close, things go don't go as planned. My mother's side of the family is... Difficult, to say the least. It's very heavy stuff. I wonder what I could do to show her how much I care, to show her how sorry I am for our fights and how thankful I am. I really want her to know, but she's not stable. She has never been. What can I do to not feel so awful about this whole situation? I can't get close to her. I wish I could.

Question: Why do my parents call me a slut?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:23 PM PST

It makes me upset when they call me a slut because I am no where near that. I work and go to school all week. I pay $4000-$6,000 for my college tuition by myself each year without them helping me. They don't I know I go through depression within myself because I suffer from the inside and many anger built up inside me which causes me to get a headaches everyday. I get my money from working at the factory full-time 10-12hrs each week just to be called a slut. Sometimes I want to move out and be free. I'm 21 years old btw. I'm just tired of the negativity. I'm doing everything they need me to do and yet still get called a slut. And they treat my other siblings better than me and tell me I don't do nothing in the house and i'm lazy. 

Question: What can I PUt on my family's profile photo to show I am an outdoorsman?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 06:50 PM PST

Question: Is my mother wrong to dislike her cousins cause their fathers made mistakes?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 06:30 PM PST

Her mother had two brothers who were bad to her. Not physically but about money and said mean things about her. Years later they reconciled largely. My mother still refuses to forgive the two uncles and she dislikes being around her cousins who are their children and only sees the negative in them, when they are actually normal and nice. One my mother said "yeah I guess" when I said how nice the man was. I took that to mean my mother's way of politely saying "I don't really like that cousin though he is not evil". This cousin of hers is the nicest and most innocent man alive. He is ADHD and so his etiquette was not the best as a teen but he is 45 now and long past the bad etiquette and even as a teen he could not help it. I am disappointed in my mother's cruelty here so I am asking, is this wrong? Or is my mother right and I am the one who is wrong?

Question: My mother and her sister are estranged. Is it possible for them to still love each other even when they hate each other at the same time?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 06:26 PM PST

The sister is like a middle aged bully. My mother avoids her cause of this as do we all. We saw her last in 2014.

Question: My sister is a narcissist. Would it be possible to stage a family intervention over this?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 06:24 PM PST

By intervention I mean that thing where we all take turns writing her letters telling her how bad she is and how much we hate her. Kind of like the TV show.

Question: Dad and I not talking.?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 06:07 PM PST

My dad hasn't had a job in ten years. He does nothing but sit around the house smoke heavily and watch movies. My mom has worked during those 10 years paying for everything. She had a heart attack a few months ago because she is so over exerted. She cleans cooks does the dishes. No loves me or my sister because of crap going on in his family. A few weeks ago I finally let him have it I'm sick of him , his family and his laziness. We got in a huge argument and we haven't spoken since. We said nothing during thanksgiving. He told my brother in law that he wants me as far away from him as possible. Should I just cut it off with him.should he apologize to me and my mom and sister. What do I do? Hes always treated me like crap!

Question: My girlfriend stole my money from me and lied about it, what to do now?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:56 PM PST

We are both 19 and we were at my house watching a movie and at the end of the movie she went home and the next day I went grocery shopping and during checkout my credit card and debit card and a lot of cash were missing from my wallet and i panicked and had to return all of my stuff since i didnt have a way to pay for it and when i got home i looked everywhere and eventually gave up and i was planning on cancelling my cards and today i went to my girlfriends house to hang out and while she was in the restroom i noticed MY credit and debit card and cash on her bedroom table under a tissue box to hide them and i confronted her after and she said she found them by accident and she was obviously really nervous and i knew she was lying then she kept begging me for forgiveness and saying she wouldn't do it again while she cried and i went home with my stuff and she bought several things on my card after i checked online i saw that they were cheap but i knew it was her because i didnt buy those things. im questioning on what to do about her, i dont want to get the cops involved because ive been dating her for 3 years

Question: My family likes to spread lies about me and claim I am an alcoholic when I am not. How do I prove their liars and not care they are bad?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:17 PM PST

My ex and my children like to spread lies about me and I have had it with them. I loved them till they became liars.

Question: I have a sister who is really cruel to me. How should I treat her to be good for the family?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:08 PM PST

I am 37 and she is 26. I don't want to make big scenes like a kid when she verbally abuses me. She is after me where it is regular. Her objection to me is because I grew up learning disabled I am different and seem a little corny. She is ADHD and for whatever reason ashamed of it and so I remind her of herself. She also is a narcissist. This past summer as I have written about before I had to grab her shoulders to get her to move when she was blocking a door. I got mad which she had only once before scene. Ever since she will not speak to me. At Thanksgiving my mother asked me to miss most the day since my sister was over. My mother has since apologized. Christmas is coming and I am bound to see this sister once or twice during the holidays. On top of this my sister has been ill and is now diagnosed with crohn's disease. My parents are excusing some of her abuse on grounds that she is in pain with Crohn's disease. Yet, my sister has LONG been cruel long before she got Crohn's. I anticipate at Christmas she will be cruel but I want to see the rest of the family when they are all there. So how do I treat her when I see her? How do I avoid this making me nervous as I have anxiety disorders? My father says my sister is milking this thing of me grabbing her last summer and so NOT to apologize. My mother ALWAYS caves to my sister to avoid her having a blow up and as a result she gets her way. I fear rejection so just go with others requests and never argue. I have 3 other siblings who are all fine, it is just this one sister that is the problem.  Of note, my mother does not justify my sister's cruelty, just doesn't want a blow up from her which is why I was asked not to come to Thanksgiving other then after my sister left at the mid-evening. My mother has since apologized for doing that. 

Question: Why are my parents like this?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 03:49 PM PST

All the good things they do, they ruin with their anger-problems. Dad talks  to everyone like they belong in jail.  It got so bad they would swerve on the freeway and threaten to drive  off the edge. And they're still like that.  So now my brother hits his girlfriend  and I'm left without a father-figure or  any life-skills.  Is that normal? What am I supposed to do? At this point, the only person  I can trust is my mom and counselor.  Advice Please! 

Question: Why does my toxic family who verbally and emotionally deteriorates me, complain when I don’t want to talk to them? ?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:06 PM PST

My whole life, my family has done **** to me, then complains when I say TRUE **** about them to other ppl to vent. Every chance they get they put me down, blame things on me, talk behind my back, verbally and emotionally abuse me. When I confront about it they don't change what they do. I've been so depressed and unhappy and idk what I'm supposed to do to deal with this. I mean I'm not gonna live a normal life until I move out.  Like my friends all love me and say I am a nice kind supportive person, yet my family is just so horrible towards me, and won't change no matter what. Tells me I need to go to therapy and I need to change when they are the ones who CAUSE MY PROBLEMS to being with! It's always me never them ever! 

Question: Well that's obvious, isn't it?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:03 PM PST

My best friend's mom passed. I supposedly am the son she didn't have. I promised her before she died I would help with the home. She passed in the beginning of September. Thanks Giving: The 'family' had the gathering elsewhere. I was invited and went. I left early because I had to work. One of the daughters is having a tree trimming party. I woke the (hermit) son up, who was upset he was woken up, to go. The room I'm in's door was open. They blew/snuck by. I feel like it's a broken promise to my own mom. And how they left tonight was....well...it hurts. I have no one else. My real dad and family is having a Saturday-after 'Thanksgiving' at a local restaraunt. I called my Dad and.. Well. I feel like less than a piece of dung. I wasn't invited to my sister and my dad meeting for a meal at an eatery after t-day either. But I'm barging in. So....I think I'll go pay for my biological families dinner, buy a gun with the money I have left, and be gone after removing the little belongings I have in the what-I-thought was family's house...that they are losing to estate (in reality because hermit son is being suicidal, too, making up stories of bull schitt ("jobs") he was hired for after not working, being on SSI for 18 years, in other states of the US. "Sister" and hubby in law who is a paranoid schitzophrenic just bought a car they don't know the features of, and don't know how to drive. So....can anyone suggest a better solution than putting a 20 gauge slug through me?

Question: What should I do With my father?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 12:21 PM PST

Let's start. My father is really proud of himself, he thinks he is so much better then everyone else. In reality not! He can't even behave properly. He is too aggresive in his Speech and in his actions. He tells everyone not to get angry, not to judge nor to commentate other, basicly don't do the bad stuff. But on the otherway, he is judging, commentate, gets angry and attack them if they are against him. He does not respect anyone nor anything, not even his closest Family. What should I do? Just be quiet?

My brother recently started acting cold to me and has not really talked to me since September. I invited him to my house to see my husband and me for Thanksgiving and he never answered me. Instead he contacted my sister and said he'd like to see her for Thanksgiving and so he went there but never even contacted me to say thanks for your invite but no thank you. Should I just not contact him or send him a Christmas card and let it go? It hurts.

Question: Why does my mother always look like she wants to cry ?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:06 AM PST

I don't live with her, I have my own family and home now. She isn't married, never was. Hasn't been with a man since my father and her conceived like 27 years ago. She has no friends. She's a public servant. She looks old and tired and sad all the time. She has to clean her house, and do laundry and cook and do everything for herself. I help out as much as I can when I'm there. Since 5 years ago I noticed this, she always looks like she wants to cry. She is also overweight and heavy set.

I can't tell my friend no because she threatens to block me on everything and message my crush holden lies and inappropriate stuff to get me in trouble so i'm stressed out

Question: Why does my sister never talk to me since she moved to college?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 09:45 AM PST

Me and her were always close even though there's a four year age gap. But now I feel that she doesn't care about me anymore and she's moved on with her life. She lives 2 hours away but she comes home on the weekends. She comes home because my parents want to see her and she has no choice because they pay for everything for her and they buy her food each week. When she's here she's either at work, taking naps or doing homework. When I try to talk to her she just yells at me to leave because she's busy. I act like it doesn't effect me and I don't care but it really upsets me. When she talking to me she's usually giving out about our  mother and if I try to talk about school or me she just says I don't wanna hear it or anything about school.  I feel like I've lost not only my sister but my best friend but she doesn't see me like that. She sees me as an annoying younger sister. I'm lonely at home with no one to talk to. Now I'm in my room crying because I found out my sisters working on Christmas Day. I was really looking forward to it because I thought we could spend the day together like we used to but she's not even going to be there. And the thing is she didn't even feel the need to tell me.  I can't say anything to her because she wouldn't understand. She's having the time of her life with her boyfriend, the only person that matters to her, while I'm here a sobbing mess because I miss her so much. By the way, she is in 2nd year not 1st year. She only changed once she started 2nd year and got a boyfriend. And can people stop commenting saying I need to make friends. I have friends but I'm not going to tell them all my problems at home and how my parents have been separated since I was eight but still live together. I'm not going to tell them that they were fighting again today. But no, my sister has never texted me to ask me if I was okay or how I was doing. She's just happy she doesn't have to deal with our problems anymore.

Question: How do I get my sister to switch up her music selection?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:59 AM PST

My sister is a pretty nice person. I would be perfectly content to spend a lot of my time with her, if it weren't for one thing: I think she's addicted. To Disney music. No but really, all she ever listens to is Disney music. when she's playing on the wii: Disney music. When she's doing the dishes: Disney music. When we are cleaning our room: Disney music. I mean, I respect that she likes Disney music, but she is forcing it on me and I hate it. It's the only thing she's ever listened to since she discovered Pandora. The reason I am only coming here now is because Frozen 2 came out. We went and saw the movie, and I LOVED IT. I genuinely liked the songs. But my sister has already started ruining them. She listens to them even more than regular Disney music, and that is saying something. Pretty soon, I am going to get sick of them like everything else. I really don't want that to happen. So my question is: How can I get my sister to stop listening to Disney, or at least switch it up more. 

Question: Should I share this with my mom?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:50 AM PST

I am a 16 year old girl with a beautiful 36 year old single mom. We are very close and I feel I can share most things with her. Many of the guys I know and even some of the girls tell me that I have a beautiful, hot and sexy mom. I am not sure how I should feel about that. Should I tell her what they said? Is that a complement that she would appreciate? If you were my mom, would you want me to share this info with you? Thanks for your advice.

Question: Marriage question?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:27 AM PST

I have been living in Florida with my husband and son for 9 years and neither me nor my husband have any family living in Florida. My son was born in Florida he is 7 years old and a only child, but I was born and raised in Georgia. My side of the family came to visit me this week it was my mom, dad, sister, brother , sister husband and her kids. Also I had a older sister that died about 7 months ago and that was tough for me to go through. My son had so much fun playing with his cousins when they were in town this week and he actually starting crying because they left to go back to Georgia yesterday . I have been wanting to move back to Georgia for years now but my husband is not for it. He doesn't really like my side of the family and says I should be here in Florida with him and that I'm not a little kid anymore and he will never ever move to Georgia.  What should I do? Am I wrong for having these strong feelings of wanting to live closer to family ?

Question: Is it something to be concerned about when my mom's family treats my dad different now that she has passed away?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:56 AM PST

My dad brought it to my attention that at dinner yesterday my grandma did not speak to him very much and she and him used to talk regularly when he would show up with my mother by his side. That was her daughter and now that she is no longer with us my grandma probably doesn't have a reason to talk to him but i think she should at least be civil and not make it so obvious for everyone to see 

Question: My parents are in their late 70s and they are both rather unwell I'd like to support them but don't know how ?

They keep saying that they are fine but they are very forgetful and sometimes losses their train of thought when speaking.   I think they might have the beginning of alzheimer's 🤔🤔

Question: Can my daughter work at 13?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:34 AM PST

I told my daughter recently she's old enough to get a job and she said she couldn't as she's only 13.  I sarcastically said she could and she's old enough to work and I'm not paying her way anymore. She came home yesterday from school and told me she had got a job washing up in a pub, she said she just walked in there after school and they said she could start tonight, I didn't think she would actually do what I said and now I'm not so sure I want her working there.  I'm also going to be taking her money off her to save for when she's older and she's not happy about this either saying she can't win. I want to help her.

Question: Why is my dad like this?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:13 AM PST

My dad always brags about his work skills. Saying stuff I can't be replaced and nobody is more skilled. Everytime when me or my brother or my mom is sick or has broken bone my dad starts saying I've been in more pain. When I busted my knee it was worse. When I was sick it was worse cause I'm older. You all never felt pain like I have. When my brother broke his foot my dad kept saying that doesn't compare to when I busted my knee.

Question: I made the Turkey and all sides by myself so do I have a right to not give my brother food?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:03 AM PST

I live with my dad and I help out with bills(my dad and I are going half on getting a new house). I made Thanksgiving all my myself(I've made the bird and sides since 3 years ago all by myself). Ok I'm lying I had my daughter butter the bird this year. We were supposed to have it at my grandmas(bro lives at grannys) but my brother was so messed up on drugs I went and got everything and made it at my house. I told him he can't come and I wont send him a plate cause he chose to do drugs instead of pitching in at least a can of corn or whatever. I did everything by myself and my parents thanked me for it. I never deny food to anyone but my bro I do cause he rather spend money on drugs than food and then my parents have to buy him food. Am I wrong to deny him Thanksgiving food?

Question: Should I forgive my dad? :(?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:01 AM PST

Should I forgive my dad? Long story short. My dad has never helped or been there for me and my brother as kids. Recently he got remarried and didn't invite me and my brother ( he even invited the whole street of people he barely knows but not his own children). Before he got married he told me that we were too much of the past and he needs to move on. It's been 6months after the wedding and now I get calls daily where he is crying saying he bad a big mistake and if I can please forgive him . What do I do? I feel like it's so hard to forgive him after all the hurt he has caused me and my brother . His new wife says he is up all night crying but I feel the only reason he feels guilty is because his new wife and family have told him to make an effort with his children. He recently text me a very long messages basically repeating how sorry he is that this is all his fault.... should I respond and if how can I get through to him in an intelligent, calm way?

It feels like he hatesme
