It all started when I was going to toast a bagel because I was hungry. And I burnt the bagel by mistake! I went in my kitchen an saw that the bagel was burning, so I quickly took the bagel out, but then my uncle started yelling and saying "what did you get on fire girl" And then I said "I was toasting a bagel and it burnt,and I am really sorry!"

And know my uncle keeps saying, "you ruin everything" and "you never do anything right!" And i keep saying i'm sorry! And he is making me clean the whole kitchen, and walk his dog, etc.

What should i do? I am really sorry!

P.S. I am only nine years old!

I have a 17 year-old niece who 'hates' her mother. As her uncle, I have been the only father figure she has known and she confides in me everytime she has an issue to discuss. She has a sister who is 6 years younger that her and she gets all the attention from her mother. The 17 year-old often argues with her mother about everything and it is easy to tell that she picks fights with her mother to get the only attention she can. Needless to say, she hates her younger sister who uses her mother as a weapon by snitching on big sister just to get her in trouble.

All of this I would deem as normal. However, my niece has confided in me of her experimentation with boys, marijuana, cheating on tests, and alcohol. I have talked to her about all of these issues and she seems to listen to me and I am quite sure that they are young childish mistakes. But my question is, am wrong in not telling her mother (my sister)?

I live with family right now, because I don't have enough money to live on my own. I work full time and I am trying to get into grad school. I feel that nothing is good enough for my family. They keep on telling me that I am not doing anything in the house. When I am, I help out with the cooking and cleaning. When I tell them that their response is that I am not doing it on a regular basis. I want them to appreciate what I am doing and stop critizing me. I would also like them to relax. When I tell them to chill out they get mad. Please help!

ok so my parents are super strict! Like I am not allowed to do most of the stuff my friends are: my curfew is 3:30pm...I'm not supposed to hang around after school unless I give my parents a whole report on it and if they say its ok...I cant hang out with my friends over the weekend...they get upset every time i even mention/or ask them if I can go hang out with my friends...they dont allow me to hang out with any guys, and Im not allowed to date (its out of question according to them)...its just that they're so stuck in their own era...they want me to like what they used to be.. I don't know how to make them understand that we are different people...and get them to give me more freedom. By the way I should also mention this: they've told me that the reason I have these rules is because I'm a girl...and they dont think i can take care of myself (they probably want to marry me off to some random guy they pick for me...god i seriously need to get out!!!!!!!!!

I have been with my partner for 6 years. We have a 2 year old daughter. My partner works very hard and has 2 jobs to support us. We are trying to buy a home but his wage is still very low. Too low for a decent mortgage. His parents are millionaires. They are in the middle of buildings estates on their farm land. 100's of houses. There will also be shops, apartments and have just received 1 million for part of their land to build a new school. They have just moved into a new 5 bed house themselves. His father is 68 and mother 50. Just bought a holiday home. Which for some reason they dismiss the question when we ask to stay there. We are hoping to buy a house from them which has been promised for the past 3 years. They just dont seem to want to help us. We are now living with my mum in a small house to save some money to buy. My partner has never asked for anything. They dont even buy xmas presents. I see their wealth and cant help feel sad that my partner and my child get nothing.

HERES THE DEAL... Ive done things in the past that wouldn't make any parent proud (lied about where i was going, gotten caught with a boy in my bed, gotten caught stealing etc.). But all of those events hapenned about 3 years ago. As of now, my parents and I share a stable relationship and everything is great at home. Im not the girl i used to be, IVE BEEN VERY GOOD! Doing great in college, respecting their wishes, and just about everything to please them. Im 19, almost 20. I think im too old to have a curfew (which is pathetically still at 11pm)How do I get them to extend that? How do i get them to trust that I can take care of myself? ...and this summer im planning to go on a trip with my boyfriend. How do i get them to allow me to go? Whenever i bring up the subjects of extending the curfew or going on a trip, i feel there is no compromise. i dont think its fair, i feel so trapped. what can I do? HELP.

If you had a family member who was an addict for over twenty years and has caused you nothing but grief, sorrow and heartache. If they constantly stole, lied, and was the talk of the town. Would you for give them if they claimed that they have 'seen the light' and was clean for 3 months?

My family has hurt and hurt me and I have felt obligated to allow them in my and my kids lives. After turning 30 I moved an hour away and just stopped explaining how they hurt me. I stopped 'trying to work it out'. I stopped giving into guilt and manipulation. They dont' have much to do with me or my kids now. How do I let go of the guilt and obligation I feel? Keeping my mother from her daughter. Keeping my grandparents from their great grandkids. Keeping my mom from the role of a grandmother. I know they did this to themselves and had many years of warning to 'stop' treating me and my kids like this. How do I set myself free from the obligation of having them in my life.

I recently decided not to let my little girl and boy stay at grandparnts overnight. This is due to many nightmares of m,y father abusing me. I am working with therapist, and still bring the kids over to visit nearly every week, but my step mom told me she is uneasy around me, like walkin on eggshells, cause it is clear I dont trust them with the kids. She knows already why I feel this wayand expects that a little talk my dad and I had cured my fears, but it did not.She made me feel like Lowly the worm, for making dad look like chester the molester, but I cannot go against my heart, and I hate hurting her, but she blames me for all this, for creating a problem where there shouldnt be one, ect, ect. Help!!!!!!

i just went back to work two weeks ago and my mother in law has been waching my three month old. i just found out through my older daughter that they go to this restaraunt every single day for breakfast. she called and wanted to know why i had a problem with it and i said it doesnt have to be every day. my husband and i are fighting now because he agrees with his mom and sees nothing wrong with it. I feel that if your waching my kid you should respect my wishes. i dont know why it bothers me but it doe and i feel that i dont need a reason. it bothers me and that should be enough. now they are both mad at me because i told her if she needs to go out to eat on a certain day to let me know and ill arrange for someone else to wach her. she said she needs to go everyday so i said i ll have my other friend babysit. i just dont feel comfortable with her driving around town with her and taking her places where i dont know the people or who is handling my baby.n

A bit of history, first... I fold all my clothing (pants, shirts, etc) except work shirts, which I hang up. So... when I started doing my husband's laundry I did the same.
We visted her one day and she noticed the fold lines in a pair of jeans he was wearing.
Now, according to his mother, I do his laundry "wrong." Everything should be hung, nothing folded. He doesn't really care. Now she's demading that she do his laundry... we don't even live in the same house as her! I feel it's none of her business.

What would you say or do?

She's 12 yrs. old, only child of his, lives with her mother, and desrespects him sometimes, and acts like a baby. She sometimes can't even do things for herself, like pop some pizza bites into the oven, or worse, I've seen him cut up a hot pocket for her to eat. She is sometimes so snobby, that I can't stand it. She can even see me in town, pass right by me, and not even say hi. He is very good with my kids and goes out of his way sometimes, I don't treat her unkindly, I try to do whatever I can for her, but she's still the same. He hadn't had a steady girlfriend for about 5 years, and maybe she feels like I took him from her. But to begin with, she would go to his dad's house(he lives with his dad) and not even visit with my boyfriend. She would be sitting in the living room watching tv and make my boyfriend go to his room to watch tv. Please give me any suggestions as to what to do.

In our house my husband only spanks our daughters(12 & 16) and me when we act up but not our son(14). I agree with this. Our son however has been becoming quite a problem and my husband is thinking about spanking him now. I don't think that it's a good idea because I feel only females(myself included) benefit from a spanking and that it degrades a boy or mans musculinaty. How can he ever be as strong and dominant with his future wive and daughters if we degrade him now. Besides, my husband already has enough on his hands spanking me and my daughters. Does anyone else feel this way?

My mom only seems to hate me and my sister. She loves my brother. She calls us names like B@tch, and sl*ts, and expects us to do everything. she starts fights with us for no reasons. and when she calls my dad to tell him a bunch of lies on the phone she laughs at us and sticks her tongue at us while she's calling him.
But when my dad is around she acts like she loves us and that gets on my damn nerves.
I had enough with it. I dont love her i cant love someone like her cause she breaks my heart every day i dont know what to do anymore.
