I am a 34 year old single mother of 2, my youngest child was born 3 months premature he will be 1 on April 22nd. The relationship between his father and I has been strained since the mysterious conception of our son. Our son was conceived when his fathers condom accidentally ended up on the floor which is an issue in and of its self.
I went through my pregnancy alone after making several failed attempts to contact him to inform that I could not terminate the pregnancy. He reappeared at the hospital a few days prior to our sons birth I allowed him to give our son his last name and gave his family full access to the nicu so that they could visit at there leisure.
During the time our son was hospi...

Should I stay or run?
Posted Monday March 10 2014, 2:09 am
Hi. I've been with my partner for a year. I've lived with him since June 2013. I'm starting to think moving in was a mistake. Ever since I moved in, his mother and sisters kids control his life. We haven't been on an actual date because he'll bring mommy and sisters kids. If he doesn't, mom whines and cries and he'll pick them up. I feel like his moms his 2nd girlfriend. She always needs him and kids are always dumped on him. Parents never want to pick them up, so he's stuck with them. I'm always cleaning after his mom and sisters kids. She'll just sit and give orders. When I was contemplating breaking up with him, he'll cry to her and say you're not leaving him. She yells at me for not wanting to get pregnant. I'm starting to hate him and his family.What would you do?

Junior daughter dating freshman boy
Posted Tuesday March 4 2014, 6:08 pm
My daughter is a Junior in HS and she is dating a freshman. I really don't have a problem with it but most of her friends are freshman also and my husband does not like it at all! My husband thinks she should be hanging out with other teenagers her age with the same goals (looking at colleges, soccer, etc). I'm not so sure. I tend to think hubby is more concerned with the way it looks. I figure if she is happy and they are good kids then it's okay.
She says the kids her age are not nice. She tends to hang out with others where she can be the leader of the pack. I think she feels more confidence with the younger crowd.
My husband wants her to cut it off with this boy. She wants to go to prom with him. I'm thinking it's okay. What do you think?

Are you female/married and have had an affair with a married man?
Posted Monday February 24 2014, 10:10 am
I am married, for over 10 years and have recently started an affair with a married man (he's been married 19 years). I've read about affairs on line, the disaster they cause, the guilt. Of course, I did not plan this, please do not reply to this question if you are going to tell me what an awful person I am. This question is for women that have gone, or are going, through this. We both have children, he is in his 50's, I am in my 40's, we work for the same company, but at different locations. The connection we have, is incredible, we talk for hours, we joke, we share things about our lives and our spouses. When we finally decided to get together, we both knew, we were going to have sex. I have never in my life felt so comfortable with a man...

Liking a Highschool Guy
Posted Sunday February 23 2014, 1:56 am
8th grade/f
So there this really cute (in my opinion anyway) guy on a sports team that I go to for school (our middle school and the local highschool practice together for diving/swimming). Problem is, He's a sophmore, and he may/may not have a girlfriend. Here are a few minor signs that he may like me, in chronological order:
1. When we first met last year- for the same sport -he and another guy were asking me and a friend what grade we were in. They guessed 8th and we laughed, responding with the fact that we were in 7th. They both said, each of them referring to one of us, but the one I like was looking at me, that they wished that we were in 8th so that they could be with {hang out with} us 'next' year.

Am I being selfish
Posted Friday February 21 2014, 5:04 am
My mom cant work right now so I have been doing everything for the passed eight months. I used to work two jobs and walk two hours each day at one a.m. because of how late the other job was. I would get home at about three thirty and sleep a couple hours to get to my second job which started at seven. I did all this so we could make rent and bills and groceries. Im 21the now. Dying to go to school. A month ago I dropped both jobs because I was feeling overwhelmed. Mymom does help with the utilities. So when I lost my job rent was coming due and I told her we were going to be short. Instead she was worried about paying off a friend she owed. I found out she has a bit of money saved away. It hurt me so much because Im giving up everything. My...

Mom getting on my nerves -_-
Posted Tuesday February 18 2014, 5:47 pm
I usually never ask for anything!! But I finally asked my mom if I could get a phone because I have never had my own phone & I really wanted one. So my mom said I can have an Iphone as a late Christmas gift. & when I reminded her about it she said she doesn't know if I deserve one because of my attitude!! I mean come on! I clean the whole house everyday, I always get A's & B's, I never give my mom attitude,& I always do whatever she tells me to do. So why is she saying that I am giving her attitude when I never do???

Moms moving out, where do I go?
Posted Friday February 14 2014, 7:37 am
Ok, so I am in my early 20's and plan to start looking for a place of my own soon (3-6 months). My mom is looking for a 1 bedroom apartment because our current place (2 bedroom house) is literally falling apart. Anyways her boyfriend found a place that is in her area of preference and within her budget so she plans on applying to the unit. I support her decision to move into a 1 bedroom because realistically that's all she needs and I'm only home maybe 3 days a week. My dilemma is that I don't have anywhere to move my stuff into. My boyfriends house is super small, and my sister just had a baby so really I have no where to go. The easy thing to do would be pay rent but I am saving for a home which is why I still need a bit more time. I am t...

my sister is annoying!
Posted Saturday February 8 2014, 10:37 am
My younger sister is asked in my room doing something like jumping on the bed, trying on my jewelry, playing with my toys and electronics, taking things, playing with my trophies like they're dolls, out begging me to let her watch me get dressed. And everytime I invite friends over, she wants to tag along and tells my mom later,“I wanna have a play date with (friend's name) without (my name)" and acts like they're HER friends, not MINE. And when I go to my friends house without her, she throws a fit! You can hear her from across the street. And when I was watching a TV show, she ask of a sudden became a Jessie phsyco crazy mega long time fan. She always follows me, and when I went to a dance last night, she screamed and yelled and tr...

My Dad Keeps Blaming Me For Things That He Does
Posted Saturday February 8 2014, 3:18 am
My dad keeps blaming me for things around the house that he is actually doing. He yells at me for these things and I can't tell him that he's actually at fault because he'll just deny it.
Sometimes I think that he does it on purpose. For example, a couple days ago, my mom griped at him for leaving the pantry door open which let dogs get into the trash. My dad denied doing it and told he to talk to me. However, when I went to bed the previous night, the pantry door was closed. When I got up that morning, it was open and trash was everywhere. It HAD to be him and he blamed me for it.
Sometimes I think he does it on accident. Like tonight, he jumped down my throat for getting food all over his new recliner, but I...

Is this father molesting his son?
Posted Friday February 7 2014, 4:47 pm
I was out to dinner with a friend from work and his 9-year-old son. I've known the man for 2 years and this was the first time I'd sat down with his son for a long period of time (by the way, I don't know what the situation is with the mother and believe it or not I haven't asked in 2 years). Anyways, the kid was a jolly little man. Precocious, very respectful, he knew how to engage with adults. After dinner, they both (his son insisted) invited me to the house for a late night drink/chit-chat. I had nothing to do the next day so I followed them over for the hell of it. After about 10 minutes, dad suggested that his son go to bed to which he replied the following: "can we do a bath first?" The WE in that sentence is what initially...

I am a terrible mother and I think I hate my significant other
Posted Friday February 7 2014, 2:36 am
Hello.
I am a 27 year old mother to a 5 year old boy, a 3 year old girl and a 1 year old girl. My entire life I have always wanted a family. I can't remember a time when I wasn't excited to have babies of my own. I was the kid who babysat for free because I just enjoyed being around babies and kids so much.
I also enjoyed babysitting because it got me out of my house. I had a pretty rough childhood filled with a lot of emotional abuse. So any reason to get away and to have a moment of unconditional love with a sweet baby AND get paid was like, majorly awesome!
Growing up I always just assumed I'd be a great mother. I just knew that I would never treat my kids the way I was treated; I swore I would never forget how it fe...

Feeling guilty for tax refund - mom needs the money
Posted Tuesday February 4 2014, 4:33 pm
20/f
I'm feeling guilty. Last year, I marked myself as a dependent and my mom had to go through the trouble with her accountant on trying to do everything and to grab my paper work. Because I was a dependent, I didn't get any money from my school but my mom did. She didn't tell me that she got $1,000 and she kind of went off to another country to go to the doctor.
I got frustrated because that summer, I had to pay for college out of my own pocket because I wasn't offered summer financial aid. I told her that she should have told me so I could save the money to put into my college tuition because I didn't know how to pay $2,000 dollars for summer, I didn't get accepted for any loans, and I worked in retail.

Divorce, the other woman, revenge
Posted Sunday February 2 2014, 11:10 am
Please help! I'm a teenager and my parents just got divorced. While they were still married, I found out that my dad had been cheating on my mom, and she knew this too. He had been calling 'the other woman' in secret and buying her lots of fancy things we can't afford, taking away from my childhood needs such as the books I wanted for my birthday but never got. (I also asked for these for Christmas but still didn't receive them). This other woman knew that my dad was married but went on cheating with him. I am so mad about this; as a parent, who can say that they did this? Imagine the hurt on the kid! How can I get revenge on the 'other woman'? Please help. BTW, my mom is really hurt by this. So, once again, revenge ideas, please? Thank you.
