I did something i dont think i should have

13/F
A long time ago (a couple years) i was told that a family member i'm close to was sort-of abandoned at birth by her mum. Here's the story -
Her mum was overwhelmed by her birth, and this huge change to her life that she had 'sencond thoughts'. she took this family member to my granny, who took her in - and would have raised her if need be - but my granny (after a night or so) managed to convince the mother to take her back.
If this family member (that i'm v.close to) found out about this (i only just found out she <i>doesn't</i> know) whoknows what could happen to her. She hasn't had the best life - her parents divorced, she gets bullied badly etc... - and this could make it w...

Competitive sister!!!!
Posted Friday June 6 2008, 1:43 pm
What do I do?!?!?! I have a very competitive sister that is seven whole years younger than me and wants to be better than me in all ways. It's so irritating! I play three instruments- she has to learn how to play four before she'll be satisfied. She doesn't even really care how well, just as long as she can say she plays them. We're reading books. She has to be on a chapter number ahead of me or finish the book first, never mind that mine is five times longer than hers. We're eating ice cream. She has to finish hers first and then look at me like she's just accomplished something. Grades. She has to brag about getting stright A's, even though she's only in Elementary school and I remember school never being a challenge then. When we go sho...

What can I do about my brother. Drugs What to do?
Posted Thursday June 5 2008, 10:15 pm
Pretty much, I'm 15, my brother is 16, he is about 15 months older than me. Recently, last summer or so, we got close, and hung out with each other everyday. I smoked cigarettes for about 2 years by that time & weed for a year, and he had just started smoking weed. I was OK with that. It's just weed. I talked to him told him that I don't want him doing anything else, My mother also. Not too long after, I came to discover, him experimenting with other things, prescriptions pills. soon he did coke for the first time. I was telling myself, whatever everyone experiments, I had and I didn't do anything else afterwards, I was hoping it would be that way for him. Well, soon he started doing pills more regularly, I tried talking to him.. He was...

Okay, so i asked a question before this one so you have to re-read the question to get an idea of what this ones about. The link to the other question is: http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=541143
So, i've decided that i'm for sure getting her the doll. But thats where i don't know when the dolls are fake. It has to be a 1960s doll. And i found this one:: http://cgi.ebay.com/16-Thumbelina-Ideal-60s-Orig-Mech-knob-works-NO-RES_W0QQitemZ330241827151QQihZ014QQcategoryZ15992QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Scroll down to the bottom and there are a lot of pictures.

mom.
Posted Thursday June 5 2008, 12:23 am
Okay, so me and my mom had like this reallyyy deep conversation about her childhood and what it was like compared to what i have. Anyway, it made me realize everything that she does for me. So for her birthday--which is in July--i want to do something special. When i was talking to her she mentioned how she ALWAYS wanted a doll called baby thumbelina. She said how she belived for like 3 years that if you wished on a star and didn't tell anyone your wish would come true. And everynight that was what she wished for..that doll. So as a birthday present or something i was wondering, would it be weird if i got her that doll? Shes going to turn 45. I know shes old, but its kind of something she never forgot. Also, where can i find a cheap REAL on...

My family

13/f
I love my family but some how hate it. My dad, mom and my younger brother lives together. I can't stand any of this. I am pretty emotional. Lots of girls all. I don't really show it until I get in my room and start crying. I don't know what is my problem. I feel like my family hates me but I know they love me but I just don't feel it. I feel like I have favorites between my parents. I love my mom so much but I can't stand my dad most of the time. I always fight with them though. My mom drinks alot. My dad tries to stop her but he always yells at me for the most stupid reasons. He has even hit me for the most stupid reason. My little brother is the favorite kid. I don't like him at all. Not for that reason though. My pare...

Is this just brotherly/sisterly love?
Posted Tuesday June 3 2008, 9:59 pm
My husband is 29, his sister is my age 21. They have, in my opinion, the most inappropriate relationship ever. She'll come and just sit in his lap and cuddle up with him. Or if shes sitting on the couch he will sorta attack her in a huge bear hug and end up on top of her. Once he was eating dessert and she came and sat on his lap and he started to feed her from his dessert. He didn't even think to offer me until after she had already eaten from his spoon. I don't know what all of you think, but I find this utterly disgusting...its weird, gross, and just plain wrong!
I talked to him about it, and he felt that I was being ridiculous and said that I have intimacy issues because in my family we are not all over each other. yaa we...

My little sister wakes up crying every night.
Posted Tuesday June 3 2008, 1:51 am
Okay, so this has been going on for the past few months - my five-year-old sister wakes up, sleepwalkwalks through the house in search of our mom, and cries. She is practically implacable; she does not fall back to sleep easily; she is either unwilling to or incapable of telling me what is wrong. Sometimes, I have to lay in her bed with her in order to get her to fall asleep.
At first, this only happened every once in a while, but now it happens EVERY NIGHT. It's gotten to the point where I wake up the instant I hear footsteps in the hallway. Sometimes, I just avoid falling asleep until she does it, because I know she will and I also know that I become quite irritable when my sleep is disturbed.
So, my ques...

Monster Dad and Mom in Denial
Posted Sunday June 1 2008, 10:47 am
16/f, I REALLY REALLY need help. I get along with everyone in the entire world except for my parents. They treat me well by giving me a nice home, clothing, other things, etc. but don't always consider my feelings. Ok, so I think my dad has some problems. He comes home from work every day cranky and moody. He takes out his anger and bad moods on my brother and mom as well, but most of all, he takes it out on me. It happens on almost a daily basis. I try to just walk away but I can't. My feelings and anger take over and I fight back. I feel like it's unfair for me to be treated this way by him. He's not nice to my friends either. Then there's my stupid, predictible mom. She sides with him over everything no matter what, all the time in any ...

Nosy mom

My mother wants to know not only everything that goes on in my life, but everything that goes on in anyone that i know's life. She asks questions constantly about every tiny detail, that I couldn't possibly know the answer to and that she really has no need to know. She says its "her job" to take an interest in my life. When I get angry with her for asking so many questions, she gets very upset and says she can't even have a conversation with her own daughter.
I realize that she loves me and only wants to be a part of my life, but shouldn't there be a line drawn somewhere? Anytime I let her know that I'm getting annoyed with the "conversations" that feel more like interrogations, she gets very offended...

Mom Being Unreasonable
Posted Saturday May 31 2008, 1:26 pm
16/f I'm so pissed at my mom right now. She says I have to get a job this summer-which I'm fine with. All the places I wanna work are not really within walking distance. She's like, "you have to get a job you can walk to or else you are paying me for gas." This is so unreasonable because she drives my brother to camp every day. I don't want to have to wake up at the crack of dawn just to walk to work. I just feel like she doesn't give a crap about my safety. All my friends' parents actualy care about them and drive them and don't let them get into dangerous situations and probably wouldn't let them walk every day to a job. My mom makes me walk places by myself that are dangerous where I could be kidnapped or raped. She treats me l...
