Involved mom
Posted Thursday June 28 2007, 12:12 pm
Sometimes my mom can be my best friend, but often she takes it way too far. She'll ask me very private questions, won't let me have time to myself, and whenever I don't get invited somewhere she pesters me to basically admit to her that I'm a loser. She's always making me feel worse about myself asking questions like "Why does no one like you? Why don't they invite you places? Why are you sitting home alone again?" I quit cheerleading a few months ago (she was totally against me quitting it) so now she always tells me if I stuck with cheering I'd actually have friends. This really hurts.
I've tried asking her to stop, but then she just tells me I'm too sensitive and to get over myself. I'm not sure what to do about her anymore.

My aunt is trying to run my wedding
Posted Wednesday June 27 2007, 11:23 am
See this is my first time of getting married. You see my parents have done everything to get this wedding on the ball since it is next month. But she thinks it should be all about her, I don't want to be a bad niece but I don't want to have someone that is gonna be taking the pictures to try to ruin my day just because she isn't involved in every little bitty thing we do in the wedding. She thinks that me and my sister in law(Matron of Honor) going out for a Bacholorette Party is so bad that she should be involved. But she isn't a drinker, she's a very negative person and I don't want that while we're trying to have a good time. Plus she's a nark. I can't deal with this anymore, please if anyone can give me better advice than talking to her about it I'd really appreciate it. Thanx.

I can't even stand my own mother.
Posted Tuesday June 26 2007, 11:22 am
Hey. Well, I'm 13/female. I always fight with my mom. Sometimes, we just get in little fights, but sometimes huge ones.
She always seems to be in a stressed out, angry,bad mood, and she is always snapping at me and making a big deal out of nothing.
It never fails, that every single night we argue. And to me, it always seems like it's her.
It IS her. I wouldn't have an issue if she would just leave me alone, and let me actually have a life.
I'M 13 YEARS OLD, AND SHE STILL FIGHTS WITH ME ABOUT GOING PLACES WITHOUT ADULTS.
She doesn't let me go TO THE CENTER OF TOWN WITH MY FRIENDS, becuase i'm 'too young'. We don't live in a bad area. It's a quiet place, and nothing ever happens here....

my sister is the queen.
Posted Monday June 25 2007, 10:59 am
I'm 13 and my sister is 9. She's the queen. My parents love her and never yell at her. If we get in a fight and my sister scratches me, I get in trouble for it. Every single day is dedicated to my sister. Today my mom and sister left me to go to the zoo. They left without saying bye and said they would be home at 6. Tomorrow my sister, my mom, and my friend are going to some baby arcade place and they'll be gone all day. My dad works so obviously that leaves no one to take me where I want to go. My friends think I'm ditching them because I always have to cancel plans since my mom drives my sister around everywhere since I don't have a ride, so my friends are mad and I'm losing them. So far every day since summer started my sister has had a ...

How to get her to say yes.
Posted Thursday June 21 2007, 9:27 pm
So this September, my mom and I have decided we're going to take a cruise to Bermuda. There is only one thing that is holding us up to buy tickets, finding someone to come (as in one of my friends). Well, the problem is I don't have a LOT of friends, but I have a good amount; and none of them can afford this. So I would like my boyfriend to come along, and I have been with him for 1 year and 9 months; so it is not like she doesn't know him. (I'm 15/f he's 17/m) Well, I'm having difficulties on how I should prove to her that she can trust us. April of 2006, I had a pregnancy scare, and she has mostly given us our trust back. But, since then, my period has been regular, never late, and I have not done anything with him for her to not trust us...

my dad calls me fat sometimes.. it makes me so mad! because really im not that fat.. i've gained a few pounds but im a growing girl who hasnt really played in sports for like a couple months, which is my parents fault for not registering me. i dont like running.. and i do it like once a week.. but i have to do things lik soccer or volleyball where i dont really pay attention to the fact that im running and such, making it easier. but when he calls me fat it really pisses me off because there are people waaay bigger than me. we dont have a scale.. but honestly im not that fat. i even eat healthy foods.. sometimes i eat candy and chocolate but what kid doesnt? i eat whats in the house which is usually like african food my mom and aunt make.. ...

who pays for what/adult children
Posted Wednesday June 20 2007, 9:08 pm
This is a repeated conflict between my husband and I. I was raised that whoever has the most means should pay; he was raised that the parent always pays, no matter what. We have two small children and a very busy lifestyle. My dad is retired (divorced and alone) and comes over for dinner often. Sometimes I cook, sometimes we get takeout, occasionally we go to Friendly's. My dad never chips in a dime or picks up after himself or offers to bring anything. This infuraties my husband to no end; he calls my dad a cheapskate and says he hates him. My mother and stepfather and my mother-in-law NEVER LET US PAY FOR ANYTHING. My Dad has no idea the conflict he causes in my marriage; we've been married for 8 years and have fought about this at least fifty times. WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK?

Mom
Posted Wednesday June 20 2007, 7:54 pm
My mom is 81 years old. My mom doesnt think people should ask for advice online, but I
think people should ask for advice online. Why does my mom feel this way? And if she
doesnt like these online advice websites do you think it should mar how I feel about the
advice I get (which I love). I mean shouldnt I just go by the advice (which makes me feel
good) I get and ignore her comments.
