My mom embaressed me!
Posted Monday July 6 2015, 4:49 pm
So we were sitting outside of our house by the pool. I CSS wearing a swimsuit, so my arms were exposed. She then lifted my arm, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "you need to shave that armpit hair!" People were outside, and they all heard her! She always yells at me for not thinking before I do something, but here she is doing it now! I mean really, why would you shout that outside! I've been rambling enough now. I just don't know what to do! Please help me! :(

My father doesn't love me anymore
Posted Sunday July 5 2015, 9:10 am
I am a 21 year old female going on 22, currently finishing my degree. I have a rather different life compared to most 21 year olds, I have parents that still dictate my life regarding when I go out with friends, how long I go out for and if I go out one one day of the weekend I'm not allowed to go out any other day. I realize it because I still live under their roof I have to follow the rules, but this is not the issue. The reason I've brought this up is because it's the only attention I seem to receive from my father, I have made me fair share of mistakes as a teenager that did not make my parents proud, but I have spent the last 6 years of my life making them proud, my mum has forgiven me but father doesn't seem to, and believe me I don'...

How to ask my mom?
Posted Tuesday June 30 2015, 9:16 pm
Hi. I am looking for advice on how to ask my mom if I can do gymnastics camp. I have reasons to go along with my argument, such as my sister gets to do soccer camp this summer. Although there are also negative factors to worry about. Example- yes, my sister does get to go to soccer camp, but for next to no money. Of course I could offer to pay for some of it, but I always get myself worked up about how to ask. I'm sure she'll say yes. She always does no matter what I'm asking (I don't do this often). I just want help on how to compose this conversation without making it sound like I've rehearsed it 1000 times. Thanks in advance.

So, at the beginning of the month me and my mother had a argument. It started of the fact that I need her birth certificate for a passport.stupid, I know.
The argument of course escalated, as they do, she said I was selfish, and never spoke to them or see them unless I wanted something.
Then I went on to say, I know I'm selfish, but least I know where I stand, you never make effort to see me first, its always me to.
Then I said it.. What shouldn't have.. 'who organized my brothers birthday, me! When was the last time you went out with any of your children?'
Now she wont speak to me! It...

Want badly to go to summer camp!

Hi. For summer 2015 I really really want to do a 1 week full day session of gymnastics. I'm tired of not being active. My parents would love for me to do it, but the problem is cost. I'm only 12… it's $375. I have $0. Any advice? I come from a really poor family…

Unsociable twin dragging me down
Posted Thursday June 25 2015, 3:04 am
So I have a twin who doesn't really have any friends because she's super shy and quiet.
We go to different universities and recently it was our birthday.
A friend from my uni suggested me and her do something to celebrate our birthday like a nice meal out.
Only thing is my mum said I should bring my twin to the meal. However I know its harsh but I don't think I'll have as good a time since she's quiet.
Like we're 20 and its not my responsibility anymore for her to make friends is it? I've been doing so all my life-making friends then she tags along and I've had enough!
What should I do?

My Cousins Still Haven't Added Me to Facebook
Posted Wednesday June 24 2015, 8:26 pm
I recently joined Facebook on Friday. Since joining I friend requested some of my cousins. Two of them added me, four if you want to count second and third cousins, but two others on my father’s side and one other on my mother’s side haven’t added me. I’m worried that I did something wrong. All of my aunts and uncles quickly added me as well.
I can’t think of what I could have done wrong though? Most of them I haven’t spoken to in years, since our grandmother passed away 2 years ago, but we’re still blood. My aunt’s ex-husband even added me. I know that we’re estranged, but that’s because I wasn’t on Facebook and had no real way of getting in touch with them. I’ve been wanting to get closer to my cousins for ...

How can I forgive myself?
Posted Wednesday June 24 2015, 4:46 pm
I am 23 years old and have had a very rocky relationship with my mother. Just some background info - she was raised as a Mormon but broke away from it and never pressed religion on me. I kind of wish she did because I do not practice any religion, simply just don't believe. That's beside the point. Anyways, she had me young. Around 18. Her and my dad were addicted to drugs for a while but she snapped herself out of it after getting a letter in the mail that I had been late to kindergarten 91 times in a row. After that, she was amazing. She has always been there when I needed her. When I turned 16, I became one HELL of a teenager. I never did drugs, got pregnant, or dropped out of school like some teens do but the thing is, I used my words t...

Can My Boyfriend and I Still Be Good Parents?
Posted Tuesday June 23 2015, 11:31 pm
I am 24 and my boyfriend turns 26 in July. He is weird about having kids. For example, when we seriously thought I was pregnant the only reason why he wanted me to have an abortion was because he didn't think that we were financially stable enough for a child.
After we found out that I wasn't, I asked him whether or not having a baby with me would be that bad, if he had a full-time job and could support all of us. He said, "No, not at all." Just before mother's day this year, he joked, "You might be celebrating mother's day this time next year." Other times, he says he's never having kids.
While having a baby is out of the question for us right now because we cannot financially afford one, ...

How to convince my parents to let me wear diapers?
Posted Tuesday June 16 2015, 2:31 pm
I am a 14 year old girl and I really want to wear diapers and use them. Like pee them. I know I am weird but I can't help it! Should I start wetting the bed on purpose? What happens when they take me to the doctor? Even if I only wear them to bed that's fine. I don't really NEED to wear them 24/7.
I can go to the store by myself but my dad won't allow me to because of the crime rate here.
Please help me out.
I am from South Africa.

Confused on how to feel -vacation
Posted Tuesday June 16 2015, 9:22 am
My dream has always been to go to the ocean and etcc. My family has never gone for two main reasons my dad hates them, and my mom hates flying.
I told my boyfriend (whom I've been with 3 years) that I have always wanted to go there since I was little. Next month is my 23 birthday, and he surprised me by booking a trip to take me there! I am so excited!
However, I am worried my mom is going to be very angry. I told her how I wanted to visit a friend who moved to Texas for a job and she said "oh no I would be too nervous you flying there" she has always done stuff like this. I didn't go to the college of my choice, because it was 2 hours away and that was too far away from her.

Hi, I'm 12 sorry I lied about my age hehe,and this is serious I'm struggling with my weight, I weigh about 168lb, but don't go like what the heck because I'm really tall for my age "5.3", I asked people around my school to guess how much I weight and they all said 125-135, so that's good since i dont look like I'm carrying 60 extra pounds, becuase I only wear hoodies which are Baggie and not so tight jeans so I don't look fat, but I'm not comfortable with it, the last day of school I was wearing a hoodie and it was like 34 Celsius, nothing at the mall looks good on me and no shirts fit me what's so ever. Tbh I was skinny and tiny so I still have the other shirts but it makes me really sad to look at those shirts and remember how ...

Im gonna try and sum it up. On and off boyfriend for 6 years but were highschool sweethearts. Had our beautiful daughter in 2012 and she is now 3. We had a rocky road through the first 2 years at which point he met a girl off plenty of fish and got her pregnant after 2 weeks. I sucked it up and met her and agreed it was okay for her to be in my daughters life and blah blah. She told me that she had a daughter but gave it up to her brother and his wife because they couldnt het pregnant. After 3 months of her pregnancy we all found out that it was a lie and she's actually kind of sick and twisted.
They then broke up and about 8 months later we were together again, living together and i completley supported his relationship with his no...

My parents are acting abnormal...
Posted Wednesday June 10 2015, 10:01 pm
So my parents have a big relationship issue. they are constanly fighting over the stupidest things (such as how much laundry detergent needs to go in the washer) and it ends up turning into screaming matches. I can tell my mom hates my dad. She's always rolling her eyes at him, making rude comments about his weight, and she never tells him any of her plans. Also, when I was about 5 or 6 (I'm 15 now) they stopped sleeping in the same bed. My mom said it was "because he snores" but he sleeps on the air mattress across the hall from their bedroom. Before my sisters wedding, my mom said "I regret getting married and not waiting until I knew your father better". They seem like they should be getting a divorce except my mom is...

To reconnect or not to reconnect. It's complicated
Posted Friday June 5 2015, 1:26 am
So my father is possibly about to be released from prison after 15 years. He was charged with first degree sexual assault and breaking/entering. He was or is suspected of the same against two others. He's never been violent to me (or it was only when I was too young to recall). However he has with my mom, her children, and his first wife knows (or knew, ill address that in a bit)) he was/is a violent person.
First some background: I'm the bastard child of my parents who were married with their first spouces when I was conceived. My dad is a bit of a player, he went to his home state then back to his first wifes house. Somewhere he hooked up with another lady and they did drugs together. The first wife was hooked on my dad fo...
