Me and my wife have been married for 3 years we got 4 kids. Our oldest daughter is 7 my son is 5 then we have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. We been talking about having another baby she's on the 5 year IUD she's getting it removed this year. Should we have another one ? 

So I'm 22 (will be 23 in August) and my wife is 21 (22 in July). We found out she's pregnant. I own a landscaping company and my wife is a co-owner of a high end consignment shop so we are pretty sound financially. Our options are either put the baby up for adoption or keep it and raise it ourselves. We already have 3 people living in our house, myself, my wife, and my 19 year old brother however we live in a 4 bedroom home (5 if you count the finished room above the garage) so room isn't a problem. Our problem is, with both of us owning businesses, we're kinda public figures in our area. We're afraid of people not using our businesses because of us having a kid so young. Also, if we do decide to have this kid, I'd have to sell off some cars out of my collection (I have a total of 8 cars, not counting my wife's SUV and my brothers Audi. That also doesn't count my fleet of trucks for my business) So what should we do? 

I am 18 and live in a small town and it has a small population I don't have many friends but my Dad is 57 and just got his first social media account on Facebook I helped him make it but it has become a nightmare and my Dad is posting our business and everyone business's out their and it is his place to rant on. My Dad posts every wrong doing I ever done and he has added every one of my closest friends and their parents on their. He also has my own friends phone numbers on his contacts. He texts my friends and their families all the time ranting about me and I am getting sick of it. All my friends are starting to not like me over this but still talk to my Father. What do I do. He also trashes my Mom constantly on Facebook as well as my Grandma and Grandpa who both passed away 5+ years ago. He even puts it out their about my Autism and a certain physical illness I have and I really don't want that stuff out their but he posts about my medical condition I was diagnosed with at 6 and autism at 9.

So today (13) I was about to take my dog out for a walk as I always do. I heard that the shower was on but couldn't find my (32) mom nor my (33) stepdad. I decided to go up to the bathroom and ask if they were in there. My mom replied but I could hear kissing too so my stepdad must've been in there too. When I had gotten home from the walk I heard clapping from thr bathroom and asked if everything was alright in there. My stepdad replied: "Go away and stop cockblocking me every single moment!" I went to my room after that.

I'm adamant about them not coming over. My parents aren't getting the seriousness of the virus. They think because we are all related and our cousins love us, they won't give us a virus. It's like my parents are blinded by love or something. They just don't believe this could happen. To them it's ridiculous and overkill. What in the world can I say to them? I'm at the point where I'm just going to stay in my bedroom when my cousins are over. I refuse to get sick. I'll just protect myself the best I can. It's starting to feel like I'm the parent trying to protect my two children but my two children have decided they are going to do whatever they want. I'm feeling powerless at this point.

Police and military are giving us a hard time and only allowing 1 person per household to buy supplies. I havent been outside for weeks now and it's driving me nuts. My parents wont let me outside our property. I am dead bored.

I am a warehouse employee and been my whole life and so are my kids except one kid. My son who doesn't work with us is a CPA and has a PhD all the children my grandchildren want his advice about college and life etc but never my advice. They always say his house is beautiful no one ever compliments my house? Why do people just admire money?

I'm a cna and I work in a assisted living. It's confirmed that a resident has the corona virus. I am scheduled all the way up until April 16th. I also work for an agency. I want to cancel the remaining shifts I have, but I'm afraid my agency would fire me. What should I do?

I have an older brother. We are both in our 30's. Two years apart. Growing up we didn't have the best relationship. He was a trouble teen. He did a lot of things I cannot not talk about. I was always getting bullied by him. He would say things to degrade me growing up. It was more than just older brother picking on little brother. I hated him growing up. I never wanted him home. I would push him to go to work so I can have some peach at home. Later on in life I found out he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Even to this he verbally says mean things to me or tries to disrespect me and when I call him out he acts dumb like he didn't just insult me. It been going like this my whole life. I even saw a therapist but it did not help. Do I cut him off my life? I feel bad because if my parents die God forbid I'll have take the responsibility making sure he is on his meds. I just don't want that responsibility especially because he is jealous of me and always says things to insult/degrade me. I don't even bring my child around him. How can I deal with this situation? Please advise

Do you ever not care anymore, do u ever takecare of your own issues? I'm in this situation, constantly, its very stressful. How do u handle it

His ex hasn't been in my house, but his kids have come on my porch to give him food. Suppose his children are asymptomatic carriers from the ex? I don't have existing conditions, but my 90 yr old mother who lives with me does, I refuse to let her in the hallway or to go outside, so she doesn't catch anything. When the Hong Kong flu came around years ago, a cousin brought it home from school and it killed my grandma. I don't want my mother dying from CV.  I am a nervous wreck, any suggestions? Thx.

There are some celebrations in the 2nd part of the summer that will likely still be held but my Dad will be with his wife trying to please her mother (it is an obsession he had). My step-mother is insecure with her mother. I will lay the seed "would love to see you guys" hoping this aunt invites me but usually I am overlooked if my Dad declines an invite. My Dad has absolutely no sensitivity to my need to connect with his family. Also much of the stuff usually in early summer is likely off cause of the Social Distancing with COVID-19. How do I get over this disappointment? Don't just say "be glad you are alive" as I would honestly rather be dead then not have my disappointments understood. My Mom just bashes my Dad and all related to him if I try to talk to her about it.      I am 15, just finished freshman year of high school. 

Ok. Theoretically speaking... Let's say my dad and mom got into an argument (I wasn't there as it was happening) but as I'm in the car with my dad, he vents to me and he made an empty threat where he said he wanted to shoot her.  Let's say he did have a license and he did own a gun.  I'm positive that these are empty threats and he could be very frustrated. But as a son, how would I react? I'm 21.  All rhetorical, of course. 

I am 18 I live in a small Rural town in Ohio population of 4500 and my family has lived here for many generations they founded this town. My parents are both divorced my Dad is 57 and Mom is 56. My Dad has always had a bad temper its caused my family to avoid him on all holidays (Christmas,Thanksgiving,Easter,etc) it caused my Dad to get divorced and lose all his friendships, got him arrested when he was younger and kicked out of the football team plus get expelled his senior year 82. I have autism, ocd, ptsd, adhd. My Dad breaks things,Yells at me, calls me names, shames me on social media, and many more things. My Dad starts arguments and fights (physically with everyone) My Dad punched a guy in-front of the guy for him selling a broken item at a garage sale he threatened to kill my friends Grandpa he even yelled extremely loud to kick the neighbors a#$ then spit on their front door he break checked a man with his truck for driving too close to his pickup truck last summer. He one time threatened to strangle my friend. He rarely gets in trouble because he leaves the scene and when he does my grandparents always bail him out of jail. I am scared of my Dad. My Dad has to tell everyone all of our personal business including calling my friends and other family and reporting everything to them he has my friends numbers in his contacts. People has actually threatened to kill him or beat him up when he starts in with people. The whole town is sick of my Dad including the police department (We have a small police department with 12 officers due to how small the town is and we have one of the lowest crime rates in the state of Ohio in my town) Its affecting my friendships too because most of my friends parents do not like him. My Dad also interferes with me and Mom and he bad mouthed her and wont let me call. I also have a job.

My father was an alcaholic and used to beat me up and everyday I made my siblings lunch. I am left with panic attacks and short of breath. He leaves me and my siblings with no food. Where I live traditionally the children leave whenever they have saved enough money for a place. I am 23 years old I have been abused attacked and left hungry. What do I do? I have low self esteem because I listen to critics everyday 24/7. I have an ex that abused me like my father did but we still meet. I have no job and suffer from agoraphobia. What do I do? They keep telling me they want me to leave the house.  And he has said I am a *****,that I am useless immature which I am not he has said i am lazy everyday I cooked for him because my mum never did she was too busy taking care of my grandma everyday!!!!!!!!!!! They are bestfriends ps and talk crap about me . My grandma would say comments like dont eat your siblings lunches because you are not a dustbin. I am glad that finally she knows now how I feel about her. She grabbed my brother and started hugging him she told me not that I do not love you  But I love your brother so much. And much much more which left a huge whole in my heart

I moved away from my hometown and relocated  6 months ago. I last saw my mom on September 18th 2019. As she helped me clean my apartment and drove me to the airport. I said goodbye to her and told her I would see her again soon ( in the upcoming months) when I stop by my hometown for a few days to visit . It is now nearly 7 months later , and I still have not gotten the chance to see my mother. My biggest fear with the coronavirus is that September 18th of last year might have been the last time that I will have ever gotten to see her. Travel restrictions are already in place or will be enforced soon I imagined. Which will postpone my ability to book a flight and see her in a hurry. I fear one of us, either myself, or her might fall ill from the virus and that we might not get the chance to see each other one last time. Even hospitals restrict family members or visitors from being in the same room to visit with their loved ones who may soon die. I am strongly against Snapchat and all other video conferencing abilities. I need to be able to see my mom face to face , and hug her and hold her . All of which I cannot do with a cellphone screen. To make a long story short, the idea of not being able to see my mother again , is making me insane. We both are U.S.A residents.

My younger brother reallt frustrates me, i really want to tell him, to respect me because i am older But I Need A Polite Way To Do So. Nobody In My House Has My Back. He Has Done Some Illogical things. That My Parents Do Not Care About.

My mom works at the airport still due to it being an essential service. Anyways she lives with my dad. On top of that my sister who is 25 is going to move into my moms house for a few months with her boyfriend. The house is only three bedrooms but they share the same kitchen and living room. I live in a separate state as them so I am not as much in risk. But what about there situation?

I feel horrible for it especially since my sisters are very disrespectful and dramatic they made it worse, Me and my dad were tired of my oldest sister because she was a high school drop out, 19 years old, and she started sleeping here out of nowhere cause we thought she came in the morning to visit but she started live streams, up to 3 am in the morning, bothering us with loud bass music. I was tired of it and had school, and I've been texting my mom to take her out of here and she wouldn't answer me for 2 months. so I kicked her out myself when she was gone and my mom was in the car with her surprisingly She came out and I said stop and put my hand on her shoulder and I was trying not let her in the house cause I didn't want to talk to her and I told her she wasn't being a mother. She then got mad and started saying she will beat me for putting my hands on her, that im just going to be like my dad, and that I would be treating women all the same, and that ill be abusive to my kids. My sisters started ganging up on me, wanting to beat me cause they are very ghetto and rachet which they made very dramatic to the neighborhood.  I've been doing so much for her, and yet she made feel like i didn't do anything for her and said i did it for myself, but the only i thought about was being happy in a house with family, and me having kids and a wife to visit her. Im just tired and want to end. Iam a bad person?

My brother and I are identical twins. Whenever it comes up in conversation with people they dont believe me when Im not with my brother. Why? Its not that people dont believe we are identical. If im not with my brother and the topic cones up people think I'm lying about being a twin and it frustrates me

I know with COVID-19 there might not be one but if there is my Dad always says no to gatherings in his family and so I miss out. I used to just invite myself but it angered an aunt and was rude on my part. So now I wait for my Dad to notify me and he often does not because he doesn't want to go. I carry loss and rejection as a result. So how do I get my Dad to let me know so I can go if there is one this summer even if he does not want to? I don't want to be hurt again like two years ago. I suspect the other, larger, family gathering will be scratched due to COVID-19 as that is in early June, this graduation party is usually August before the cousins go to college. It is my uncle's son.  I live in New York and we are hard hit now. The cousin is in New Jersey 25 minutes away. 

I see my kid every Tuesday and Thursday evening. I usually take her with me. Due to this COVID 19 stay at home order we cannot go to anywhere and her mom does not want me in her house. I would take a home but live 40+ miles away. The court order says I can take her with me or stay. What should I do?

I am 18, with two step-siblings ages 20 and 17. I also have two siblings ages 16 and 13. My dad and step-mom just found out that they are having another baby (and yes it was planned), and so I'm going to have a half-sibling this fall. I'm super excited about this because I've always wanted a baby sibling (I was 5 the last time I had one!). My main concern is figuring out how to still have a relationship with him/her since my siblings and I are all so much older. I don't currently live in the same state, but I will most likely be heading to college near where they live around August.  I already know one family who has a 14 year gap between sets of kids and they are still close, and the older kids' children get along well with the "babies" since they are nearly the same age, almost like cousins, so I have some perspective from them. Anyone have a similar relationship that they can offer advice and tips from? I already plan on visiting as often as I can to be around as much as possible, but I'm mostly looking for specific things people have used or seen that help
