boyfriend hates kitten
Posted Thursday April 10 2008, 12:08 pm
I recently got a new kitten. He is very vocal. My boyfriend wants him to sleep in the bathroom at night to make sure he uses the litterbox. problem is, he meows A LOT. He's lonely and wants me to be by him. if it were my choice i would have him in bed with me (so far he always uses the box during the day). My boyfriend gets so so mad at night with its meowing and has been putting him in the laundry room, which is cold and unfamiliar to the kitten. i feel bad, so then I make a bed in there and sleep with the kitten. My boyfriend can still here it meow if I am not there and he gets real mad that I wont sleep in bed with him. it causes daily arguments and i am so tired of arguing. I dont want him to be mad, but I don't want my kitte...

My parents are strict.
Posted Tuesday April 8 2008, 8:07 pm
My parents are so strict! i want to be able to talk to them about things and them not freak out or at least have someone to talk with. I can not trust my parents. They dont seem to trust me either how can i gain their trust? how can i get them to let me do things like hang out at a mall without a parent there or go on a date or even hang out with a guy. Maybe even not have them on my tail all of the time!

Parent's weird rules..
Posted Tuesday April 8 2008, 2:48 am
I wasn't exactly sure what category to put this under.
Well my mom has these strict rules about guys. If I have just a friend over thats a guy or my boyfriend, its always been the same. We can't lay on the couch to watch a movie. The couch.. in the living room. No guys allowed in my room even if the lights are on and the door is open. Not even if my little sister is there. We don't do anything like sexual. Oh big deal kissing and cuddling. What's wrong with that? She seems to be totally overreacting with her rules. They make no sense and she never ever gives me a good reason. Any advice about how to convince her to get rid of these rules? Or even advice why she says these stupid rules. We arent even allowed to sit in my lil ...

Parents Fighting (Again)
Posted Monday April 7 2008, 12:27 am
My parents are fighting. They are not considering a divorce but one in a while they just go at each other. It's really sad and since i am the oldest i want to do something about it. My little sisters get sad and cry when they fight and i want to help them. What can i do to make them realize what they are doing wrong? They both blame each other for things but truthfully it is always equally both their fault! I really need some good advice. Please don't give me the "talk to them" answer because right know i don't want to start anything else. Please help me. I really want to fix this becuase everytime they fight it bring up all these past things from like 15 years ago! Who cares about those things! Please help me. (sorry if this is long, i just feel very unstable and sad right now).

I can't handle my mom.
Posted Saturday April 5 2008, 2:02 pm
Whenever I ask my mom for anything, it takes four hours for her to respond. Today I asked if she could give me a ride to the tanning salon; she didn't answer, she completely ignored me. I kept asking for hours until she answered and by that time I bugged her so much she was in a pissy mood.
I don't mean to bug her, but she never answers me directly. This happens all the time and when I tried to talk to her about it she, once again, got all pissed off and stopped talking to me. What should I do?

What to do?
Posted Thursday April 3 2008, 10:56 pm
Since atleast middle school I have made bad impressions on people who don't know me. I am an extremly shy person when I first meet someone and it comes off as being snobbish. I know that is the way I act but it is so hard to change it. I am also worried that the relationships I have made recently might not be able to be recovered because they already have that other me stuck in their head.
The question I have is, has anyone else had that kind problem and how they overcame it.
The reason I am asking is because my boyfriends family members (some of them) have not really liked me because of these impressions. I really want them to like me but I don't know how to get over my shyness. I know people say just don't care what they thi...

What is expected of me?
Posted Tuesday April 1 2008, 9:09 pm
I'm 16/f
My older sister is almost 20, still living in our parents house, un-employed, and about to quit college. My dad doesn't really say anything about it, but my mom is now heck-bent on me going to a top-notch college, getting a job as soon as possible, and all the things I want to do socially with friends doesn't even matter. I understand that they don't want me to end up like my sister, but I find it unfair. They were never this hard on her, and let her decide. Heck, she didn't even get her drivers license until last year! And now it's gotten to the point where they are catering to her every need and pushing me out into the world without warning. With that said, How do I talk to my parents about this? I want to do all of these ...

I have talked to him before about it to and he just got mad at me and told I was ingreatful and that I was spoiled. I know he does a lot of things for me but I want him to be a friend and to do things with me. Is there amy father son events in the colorado area that we could attend and try to start fresh.

cheating
Posted Sunday March 30 2008, 4:31 pm
Greetings everyone. My girlfriend (25) Just found out that her father is cheating on her all faithful mother. her parents in the late 40s. Her father is usually out of the country, but comes around like every other month, for a few days. His mistress is in the same town as his family, though, making it more painful. She's not in the other country, that is. Now, my girlfriend is so heartbroken and depressed. What is the best thing she can do. They are a black family.

Is my child mean or are all kids this way?
Posted Wednesday March 26 2008, 11:07 am
My child makes comments like, "that person on TV is better than you at ..blank.., "you smell, you are the ugliest, I missed my cat more when I was gone. He prefers to be with his dad more than me, he takes his side, and comments that he would save his dad first and a toss up between me and the cat. What is up? I am about as normal a parent as it gets. No neglect, no physical abuse, no psychological abuse, no other priorities. Are kids just mean today and tell you all they think or is he just displaying his "love" in an awkward way. By the way, I am the parent that says yes to McDonald's, walmart shopping etc.

Apartment hell. How do I convince my mom?
Posted Tuesday March 25 2008, 4:48 pm
Hey all, Siren here. For once I need YOUR help. Quick request - PLEASE give me as many ideas as you can, and as much help as you can. I'm getting desperate.
Okay. I live in an on-campus apartment with three other girls, Lacy, Chelsea, and "Chelsea2". I've never really gotten along with girls, they strike me as false and materialistic, and it drives me insane. (Not that I don't enjoy fuzzy things and shiny things, but still.) I'm having a number of problems with these...girls...but the biggest issue is that they all hate me for absolutely no reason.
Not to mention the fact that there's no room in the fridge for my food - out of everyone here, I'm the only one who actually watches what she eats (and I have to, if I do...
