Let's say he talks to you about his problems when he isn't feeling good. Saying he feels his heart is bothering because his chest hurts or his stomach hurts. But if you or another family brings up going to the doctor then he gets mad. Then what, you're a concerned son and don't want your father to die or get really sick? 

My mom has a slight anger problem that she will never admit to, she often takes her anger out on me. I know my dad has personality issues that include narcissism.  I'm 21. Everything has been put on hold for a while because of this pandemic. But She makes rude remakes towards me. One time I was telling her a story of when I accidentally put too much siracha sauce on my salad and didn't have a drink and my friends were laughing at me during lunch. She cut me off half way through it and said "You like to do it for attention because you're such a ray of sunshine aren't you." At that point I just pissed and walked away. I know in past relationships when I was 18-19 she was too overbearing. She constantly texted me and asking Me to take pictures of wherever I was. She always made sure I was never alone with my boyfriend at the time but we found ways around that and it was none of her business. I was also never allowed to go camping with his family because it made me look slutty to spend the night with him before marriage. She always said it embarrasses the family and idk why. We got into fights over this all the time and she resulted in calling me a narcissist every single time.Every since I moved home from off campus last summer we've been getting into fights more. She always says "You're narcissistic just like your dad!" Or "I am so disappointed by the way you turned out." Or "I don't like what you're turning into." I don't know if she's just struggling watching me grow up and hates the fact that I have less control over me or what. But now I feel like she sees me as a disappointment because she doesn't like "what I turned into." She claims I'm a narcissist that has anger issues and needs medication. But I actually think it's her that needs help not me..  We literally argue/fight over the stupidest things. She always snaps and calls me the narcissist. I don't like it when she calls me that because it makes me think she doesn't like me and I'm a disappointment to her. 

I am a single mother to a 3 year old and I live with my parents still. I work full time and obviously I'm doing everything I can to get moved out. Ever since my son was born, my mom has, in my opinion, overstepped the boundaries. When it comes to discipline I can not even get a word in to speak to my son because my mom is already doing it. I have partnered up with my sons father and his wife in terms of making sure we're all on the same page of discipline and my mom doesn't agree with it so she ignores it. In the moment if my son does something bad and she randomly makes something up for discipline I try to tell her no or to stop and she gets mad. It has taken a lot for me to not just straight up say he's not her child and she needs to back off. But I try to be respectful because they allow me to live with them and she's still my mother. Essentially it feels as if because I live with my parents that in return my mom thinks it's ok to intervene with my parenting like it's a trade. What else can I do before I take the path of telling her off?

I'm 22 and I'm in college and things in my household are getting so hard to deal with. Since the whole covid thing I couldn't really acept being stuck at home forever so I walked like a hundred yards and got back in the house. My dad and my brother started yelling at me like if I had been at the mall with 400 people. I'm aware of the risks,but I'm just tired of this. This happened last week and everyday they're either ignoring me or telling me they hope I die. I spend the days in my room and get in the kitchen just to eat. I have a girlfriend but cannot ask her and her parents to let me stay there,at least until this is over. I was thinking about gathering my things and go away but I have no place to go. I would rather be on the streets than in a situation like this. The whole thing of me going out for a brief walk was just an excuse for them to get angry at me. If one of them would've done the same thing it would've ended there. Now thing is, what can I do? I can't be here anymore,I just can't be here with them treating me like this. I'm not suicidal but I start to think if everyone would feel better without me..my own father told me I should hang myself. Again,this is a tough situation. I don't wanna die but I gotta find a soultion on what to do/where to go especially since I don't have family members or friends who might let me crash at their place for a while. Advice? you asshole,just because you got out of the house at age 18 does it mean that everyone has to do it aswell? I was gonna get done with college this year but I couldn't because of covid 19. and the few bucks I made while working were not necessary to buy a home

in the uk? im wondering when things will go back to normal and i'll be able to attend the gym to swim regularly again? these restrictions are severely hampering my way of life...and i feel isolated, lonely and miserable as i live alone with no relationships, support network or female partner....the only support i have are my elderly mum and dad who live far who are also self isolating, same as me. does anyone know when life will return to normal and these restrictions will be lifted? i feel depressed right now....im a male aged 42.

my parents want to take all of my electronics away in quarantine. like what am i supposed to do without it. i don't have any books one and to read. i'm don't really have any hobbies. they don't want my help when i offer it and then they complain i don't help out and threaten to take my phone away. like what am i supposed to do. :/

Other mom don't do this. My mother yells :STUDY NOW!!!!!

Last weekend my fiancé and I decided to have our families get together in honor of our engagement. My fiancé's invited his mother, 23yo brother and his disrespectful AF 20yo sister. On my behalf, my father came along with my 19yo sister. (So our sisters are around the same age.) My fiancé's sister is beyond disrespectful and mean to the point I can't even look at the girl. I met her when she was 16 and nothings changed. She excludes me every time I come over, she's never thanked me for gifts I've brought. She's never even addressed me by name! I have the girl blocked on all social media platforms and phone numbers because she threatens and harasses me via phone. This has caused my fiancé to not want a relationship with his sister. We just keep our distance. My fiancé has confronted her many times, but nothing changes. The mom acts like nothings happening, which makes me just as upset. Anyway.. My sister on the other hand is the nicest, most genuine person. So my fiancé and my sister are very close. He even told me he's closer and enjoys my sister more than his own, and it's only been 4 years! When his sister saw how talkative and happy they were together and how they hugged to greet and goodbye made her more angry at me. Now she's telling the family "I'm the reason they have no relationship and I'm trying to make her feel bad, and take her brother in front of her face with my sister"? She always has a reason to make me be the monster and it's causing me issues with his fam?

My mom has always been a pretty on and off person throughout my life , whenever she was happy she was extremely happy and whenever she was angry she was basically physically and verbally abusive so i just never knew what i would get with her. As i grew into a teenager her ways got worse and I could see that and recognize it which she didn't like so we got into arguments pretty bad... then she'd act like everything was ok the next week. It's just really annoying. Recently I turned 17 and I think it's bothering her that I'm getting older. All she's been saying is "Since you're 17 you need to find a way to get out of my house" Keep in mind i graduated early bc she sent me to military school for arguing with her. She also says my behavior isn't improving bc i don't clean around the house every 2 seconds. It seems like all she does is scream and nag and complain about the smallest things and it's so annoying. Now that i'm older she says things like "this is not your house or your room, you're just squatting here" etc. She treats me like I'm 27 still living at her house and constantly discourages me.  She puts on a fake personality in front of my cousins or uncle but when it comes to me she literally rages for the smallest reasons.  i was thinking about commuting to college and staying at the house but i really dont know how much longer i can put up with my mom and her moods.

I just dont understand how some adults are able to afford more things than others when they both work long hours. Like for example:  My dad vs my sisters husband.  My sister and her husband have a 4 bedroom two storey house near the coastline with a distant view of the ocean. They have 3 cars, one for natural errand running. plus two cool Comaros, one black, one silver.  On top of that they go on family vacations like disney land, and expensive hotels. They go eat at restaurants like every week. They technically living the dream. As for my dad he works at industrial tool shop nearly 8 hours a day 6 days a week. But him and my mother can only afford living in a trailer park  with one car. My parents are mostly broke after paying the mortgage and the car insurance. But yet how does my sister and her husband afford to live the paradise when people like my dad work just as hard and long hours. Is it just luck? 

Since the outbreak,my family of 5 eats at home and no longer do takeout or delivery.well this morning my parents was upset because I keep using his card to buy food.remind u it is 5 people who are eating and I have to cook everyday(which buying meat and other stuff to cook with,also other items)the complaint is that I am buying to much stuff which is not true because everyone is eating from home.i spend $300 a week on food)also I contribute as much as I can.I can't buy my own groceries because I lost my job due to the outbreak and my brother is not working either so he can't contribute that much either.If we have to I will just do takeout and everyone buy their own food.parents give me money but not enough in order to buy groceries for a week.remember it is expensive to feed a family of 5 everyday especially no one can go out.2 boys and a girl(all in 20s)if they want to they can buy the stuff and go groceries)we don't want takeout because we don't know if anyone inside has the virus(I also think restaurant shouldn't be open anyway since they have direct contact with food)and touching

I'm 51 with no family. Meaning no wife, no children. My only sibling has passed away. One parent that doesn't care and the other in a nursing home. I lost my job and sit here at home day after day with nothing to do. Even without this virus epidemic I couldn't afford to.

In my opinion, he is and I want to distance myself from him.  He's said terrible things, made me afraid and fearful many times, and used horrible "biblical-like" examples to try and make me "reconsider" when instead it made me feel worse about myself.  Im a Transgender Male, and I thought he disliked me enough for being lesbian.  Damn was I wrong.  Our server at a restaurant accidentally called me a gentlemen and when my dad mentioned it I was so excited about it that I said I liked it in front of him.  He forced me to come out the next day.  I explained my feelings but he couldn't give a **** about them and blew me off because "It isn't right.  Like how murderers like to kill people even though it's not right." (yes I'm not exaggerating his quote).  He always made me feel terrible for being trans and gay especially since he's said horrible things in the past about the LGBTQ+ community before he even knew I identified with that community.  Thankfully he keeps his mouth shut more often about gender identity and sexuality when I'm around.  One night we got into an argument and he grabbed both sides of my head, pinned me to the bed, screamed at me, and threatened to beat me before yelling at me to get out of the house.  I've never trusted him ever since, and he knows it even though he tried to apologize to me a couple minutes after it happened.  But sometimes, he seems nice.  However he's a dick 80% of the time and I know his true feelings towards who I am as a person.

My older son -age 7 has always been so caring for his younger sister. Always includes her in games, makes sure she's ok, gets her food when he does. Then my daughter age 5 is the opposite- she takes all of this nice stuff for granted. Doesn't include her brother, easily ditches him for other girls, won't do anything nice for him if she doesn't want to even if he's upset about it. How do I get her to want to care more about him and be nicer to him? She just doesn't care. And it makes me feel bad for my son who just wants her to be there more...I'm thinking about doing one of two things- rewarding my son when he does nice things for her so she sees the praise he gets (although I don't want his genuine kindness to now be driven by greed). Penalizing her when she's not nice-although I don't want her to then resent him even more. I want her to genuinely want to be there for him. Any suggestions? 

On Snapchat there's a filter that will can make you look like a guy and another that makes you look like a girl. So I was messing around and doing that with my family and when it was my moms turn she said later when she has makeup on so I said ok and just smiled at her nbd but my dad told her it didn't matter so she caved and said okay. We took her pic and she flipped. She said she looked like her father and she did everything in her power not to be like him but she looked a lot like him with that filter. My mom's dad is a complete jerk and I feel so bad that I even brought up the app. She told me to delete it, which I did immediately, and not to push her again if she said no. I apologized and gave her a hug but I hurt her inadvertently and don't know how to fix it. I feel as though I broke her mental state, she almost started crying and I think I saw a tear. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My boyfriends mother is dying. I visit her and offer support. But i work too in healthcare. I helped him clean and wax his boat..run his errands and help him pay his bills. He works three days a week. I was at work and he was at his brothers house where his mother is dying. Theres a young pretty caregiver there. He ended up eating lunch with her and his brother treating them all. I called during my  lunch which wasnt until 2pm and had a slice of leftover cold pizza. After a week of doing him favors and errands it would be nice to be appreciated for the help im giving him. Running to meet his clients etc. I understand his mother is dying but he has time to run and get gift cards for the nursing staff..food for his brother and jump his brothers car and make me wax his boat. I feel.ignored. no one does anything nice for me. 

Hyundai keeps their employees while Nissan/Honda lays off employees in this crisis. Shouldn't all international companies look after their employees? https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32083482/automakers-layoffs-coronavirus/

I'm kind of at a loss of what to do. My boyfriend has a admiration almost hero worship for his brother. He will do whatever his brother tells him to which gets worse when his brother is in town since we live in his house. He will spend HOURS playing online games with him (and other family members) what should I do?  He also didn't try to make my birthday special cause his brother came into town that day 

i want one as a house pet and i will declaw it so it can't attack me i'll also take out its canine teeth so it can't attack me 

i love hippos and their my favorite animal. I'm 13 and live with my parents also we have several dogs and a cat and we also have an exotic pet bengal tiger (legal in my state) who we've had for 7 years, she's really tame. Are hippos legal anywhere because i want to get one when i'm older

So my sister in law has been living  with my husband and I in our house for 4 months now. She has 2 kids a little one who is 2 and a 6 year old. Since this whole quarantine went down I am now stuck with her crying baby! I know it sounds horrible to say, but I don't have kids and I am use to a quiet home. I like a quiet calm home. I wake up to crying, in the afternoon crying at night more crying!! Not only does he cry he also yells top of the lung yelling! I was okay in the beginning but it has been almost a month of this going on and I'm going crazy!! I don't know what to do I understand he's a baby, but she does nothing to calm him down or to stop him from yelling. Even if I'm in the living room I can hear him! My nieces are living with me and they sleep in the room next to my sister n law they are fed up as well. My niece said if I can speak with my sister n law because she constantly wakes up at night due to the crying. My niece is 17 she has great patience so I guess the crying isn't only getting to me. LIKE I SAID I KNOW THE BABY CRIES AND WE CANT REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT WHAT CAN I DO PLEASE HELP! I've been getting headaches which I never get and feel like I'm loosing it. 

Are we cousins? Am I their aunt? But my cousin is a boy and he has a sister so she would be their aunt, so am I also an aunt? Or am I first cousins removed or something? Or are they still my cousins?

She never did. She cares about my siblings. She does nothing for me. She does everything for my siblings. She makes sure my siblings are set. She doesn't care if I'm set. 

Me and my parents are going on a cruise soon and they booked a seperate cabin for me. It sounds nice but I don'r wanna be all alone so I would like to cancel my own cabin but they said that it isn't possible rn because they have stuff to do.

I'm convinced that if my Mom or even if my Dad died that I would be too depressed to function. I'd probably kill myself. That's how close I am to them. Now if you ask my parents what they think about this they'd probably say, "Death is a part of life. We won't be here forever. And when we're gone you have to push forward." My Dad would think I'm being silly and that I should just keep living. You clearly didn't read the first line, Judy. "too depressed to function." Has nothing to do with being independent, which I am. Independence doesn't automatically mean happiness anyway.

Growing up we were estranged from my mother's family, now I have an extreme need for them to accept me and am devastated to an extreme if they overlook me for an invitation to a gathering. My parents often turn them down and just see my Dad's side on holidays. As a result my mother's family overlooks inviting me about half the time. I become devastated to a core and feel the shame and rejection from when I was a kid in the 1990's when my mother was distant from them. As I have written before, she had an alcoholic father and she personalized it telling us kids "they have chosen my father over us" or "your grandfather picked alcohol over his grandkids". How do I get over my extreme dependence upon acceptance from extended family on my mother's side to validate myself and feel dignity and happiness?

Sorry if this sounds rushed. my little sister broke her switch controller a while ago, but my parents said I had to pay for it because I wanted to borrow it sometimes to play Animal crossing. I spent the rest of my money on a switch controller I didn't even break, but I wasn't gonna argue. A day ago I realized this wasn't really fair because she broke it, shouldn't she pay for it? (she's not a tiny child btw, she has like 400 bucks and she's almost 10) also, they say she owns it even though I payed for it. I have to raise a bit of money because I had spent it on the switch, so today I asked my parents if she could pay me back for the switch controller I bought her. I had broken things that were not mine before, and I had to pay for them regardless, so i was confused as to why she didn't have to. we got into an argument and when I got upset over paying for something I didn't break let alone own, they laughed at me and said I was going insane. They told me I had PROPOSED to pay for it, and that I had to pay anyway because my sister  didn't want to use it anymore. These were not true, my parents told me I HAD to pay, and my sister wanted to get it fixed as well, in fact she's on it right now. I went to my room to cool off because I was getting really heated about it, and now I'm here. Im just getting really angry over the fact my parents don't listen to what I want to say. Am I going insane? If I'm in the wrong please tell me so I can't apologize to my parents.  Thanks. Also sorry if I sound like a whiny *** baby I'm still kind of heated about this. Thanks guys!

My older sister is 24. My parents are Chinese immigrants and are both doctors.  My older sister is very smart, but often didn't try too hard and didn't push herself as much as she probably should have.  My parents have the idea that my sister and I would be failures if we didn't go to medical school. She's been trying to tell them she doesn't want to go for 4 years but they don't seem to want to listen or care and think she is wasting her potential if she doesn't go. She's interested in healthcare, and child development, and has blatantly said she hates science classes and would want to be a doctor for the smallest amount possible.  My sister lives at home and her parents wouldn't let her go away for college. She did well enough in her science classes but she didn't try that hard and she wasn't enjoying them. She did pretty well on her MCAT recently but again, just doesn't want to go or be seen as a failure by our parents. My sister works but it's not enough for her to move out yet. My parents want her to go to med school but also don't really want to contribute to it financially, so I'm not sure what they're expecting her to do. Does anyone have any advice?
