Annoying aunt, but sympathetic feelings
Posted Sunday June 27 2010, 10:22 am
Okay so my 60 year old aunt immigrated here (Canada) about...one year ago? And her English is so bad and she slurs and her voice wavers and sounds like she's going to cry when she speaks her think accented English and it annoyed the hell out of me (and still does) but I've learned to keep my mouth shut and only make a face at her when I'm in my own room by myself thinking about her, because she's likely going through some worse things than I am.
And just like me, she's recently keen on getting her G2 (crazy, I know) and I finished long ago but I know that she's probably been having a rough time because the teachers in the driving school I was in was probably not patient for someone like her and the teens there are terrible! U...

Trying to tell my grandma I believe in God but not religion
Posted Sunday June 27 2010, 2:28 am
I am a 23 year old female and I live in a different state than my grandmother. We talk on the phone but there are certain things I choose to not tell her because it would be a hassle. She is coming to visit me soon and told me over the phone all the things she wants us to do. One is go to church. I don't believe in church or religion. I believe in God but I feel religion separates people and it shuns certain types of people. I'm very close with two of my cousins who are gay and I cannot support a religion that doesn't support them. My grandmother is a Christian and very religious. How do I tell her I don't go to church and refuse to go?

My husband is cross with me because I have to go away
Posted Saturday June 26 2010, 11:56 am
I have to go away for 14days to sort out some documentation work for my daughter. We have talked about this for the last week and now when it is time for me to go now it is going to be a huge problem. Why you may ask me, but it is because he will be left with our 2 boys. WE were told that the process will take 10 working days which will put me away from home roughly 2 weeks if not a bit more provided all goes well. Now his problem his he thought the process will take 48hours. Slight difference to to 10 days. His life will be disrupted because he will have to take the boys to and from school. He is away from me 90% of the time and I am left with no vehicle and I am expected to do all this yet I cannot say anything. What am I supposed to do? We are married and have been for 8 years.

Toxic Grandma
Posted Saturday June 26 2010, 11:09 am
I was never married to my son's father. My son is now 15 years old. Father doesn't want anything to do with son- when they do spend time together - Dad is always hyper critical of son (who is really a good normal teen). My problem is Grandma is toxic. She makes us feel guilty no matter how hard we try to please her. She used to bug son about going to orthodox church with her to the point that son no longer wanted to spend time with her. Since then I have tried to foster relationship out of respect for her but it always fails. Son now dreads seeing her. She has no respect for our busy schedule. When we do get together she only complains about lack of visits. Nothing is ever enough. I am tired of trying to reason with her. She make...

Father and daughter

Don’t you think what Earl did to Carole at the restaurant is disgusting? Earl is my 59 year old rich and powerful cousin. Denise his is ex of 19 years, Carole is their 26 year old daughter and Iman is the 32 year old girl that Earl is not serious with and just beds twice a week.
On Friday, December 11, 2009 Earl emails me to invite me to dinner on Monday, December 14, 2009. As we were emailing back and forth on the 11th he says to me “I have a new girlfriend” So I emailed back “Ok” And Earl emails me back telling me she is 32 years old, (from Palestine and Muslim), and he met her at Howard University. I was stunned because 32 is way to young and Howard University is an all Black school and we are White. But I...

Getting back close to your family
Posted Sunday June 20 2010, 2:03 pm
I am adopted with my sister to an American couple. At 17 yrs old, I rebelled and left home. So my parents disowned me totally and will not speak or pick up my calls for 7 yrs. I just recently came back home for my mother's funeral. I am not close to my father and want to so badly and do not know how to go about. I feel like a stranger, like I dont belong to my family. I turned cold hearted and its quite hard to even speak to my father.

Overprotective parents
Posted Friday June 18 2010, 8:59 pm
There are so many flaws in the logic of my parents. They've let me travel halfway around the world and live with complete strangers for a week in a different country. However, upon asking them if I could go get ice cream down the street they told me it was too dangerous for a young girl to go along.
...what?
I'm seventeen years old. I have a driver's license. In a year, I will be going to college. However, I cannot go buy a milkshake. I just tried explaining to my mom why this is madness, but she freaked out and went on a tangent about how hard she works in life. Completely off topic, but whatever baby. I don't believe I'm asking too much. Some of my friends parents allow them to gallivant at concerts in big ci...

Dear Mrs. Web,
My mother is a very demanding person.
Sometimes she can be really mean to me, and is driving me CRAZY, aswell as being emotionally hurt. She always yells and tells me how lazy I am. Because of this, I joined a Softball team, but It seems nothing has changed. She STILL is not happy enough, even when I am in a sport 5 days a week.

When I was 10, I was diagnosed with excersize induced athsma. That made it hard for me to prefore my best along side very good athleates. I've tried talking to her, and suggesting other options.

I found moms vibrator!
Posted Tuesday June 15 2010, 9:54 pm
Crap. I was going through my mom's drawers because she use to put money in there when I was a kid and I ran into this thing. I didn't know what it was at first so I picked it up and examined it.
It's her vibrator. It isn't like a dildo though so you can't blame me for not knowing what it was at first! But still! Eww!
What do I do? Should I tell her I found it? I feel weird around her now!

16/F
I was at my boyfriend's house and I heard his father yelling at his mother. He got really loud and then I heard him hitting her. I wasn't 100% sure until she said "Stop! That hurts!"
I haven't talked about it with my boyfriend but I really do not know what to do. I had suspected something was going on but never actually seen/heard it until today.
I have no idea what to do. Please help.
