Ok so we're trying to clean up our house for people to look at it and we're trying to do it fast cuz we already picked our house. We're trying as hard as we can but my mom can't seem to just chill. Today i was helping her clean windows and she kept putting me down. she kept saying i wasn't cleaning fast enough, and she kept yelling at me. How can she be so nice at one moment but then be so bad that you have to storm out of the house and scream in the middle of the street? If she wants help then she need's to be nice about it. am i right?
Is she going through metopause or am i just not seeing something?

Im originately from Chicago. I moved to Oklahoma for college. I dislike it very much but I deal with it to be with my sister. Her and I are 8 years apart. And she left to the USMC when I was about 11 and was stationed in Japan for about 5 years. We never really got to be there for each so I thought this was the perfect way to make up for the time lost. [This was her first time being back in the states within the last 8 years.] I haven't lived at home for the last past year. Now my sister got an awesome job in Chicago and we are moving back. I'm super excited but my problem is my parents want us, especially me, to move back home. I love my parents deeply but I want to live with my sister. My parents are EXTREMELY over protective. My mom said I need to be with them until I get married. My dad said they need us financial and why pay rent to someone else. Ive told them in every way possible. I dont want them mad @ me! What other way can i tell them I want to live with my sis?

I'm going through a rough time right now where everything is rubbish, work, Uni, my best friend going off with her boyfriend and totally ignoring me, & worst of all my grandad having cancer. my mum works really hard, so in return I give her money and keep the house clean

but recently, since i've been feeling like this, all i seem to be doing is arguing with my mum, and i know it's because of what's going on and I'm stressed out, so i tried explaining to her that i just want her to stop arguing with me and help me get through this just now. and all she could reply was stuff like '' i dont argue with u!' ''well i work'' and really selfish comments. she's not usually like this and it's making it worse. i keep getting really angry as well, comes right from my stomach

what do i do? i cant talk to anyone else cos they've all got their own problems. I know i'm cared about, but at the moment i just feel alone.

i think it is up to the person in question who they live with we cant choose who we fall for. i hear this so often that parents dont like daughters boy friend or other way around and it gets to me. Leave them to make up their own mind and just be there if they need you. if a daughter/son is happy is that not what we want for our children to be happy so why mess with it.

Okay, I'm a male that's seventeen who's issue is that my parents are always bugging me about me going out on dates. I've been on some dates before (five times or so), but nothing really that impressive and those were all quite a while ago. My parents keep asking me for reasons why I'm not going on dates or asking some girl out, because they think I'm a decent looking kid with an acceptable personality. The thing is that I'm really not interested in dating right now, and just want to focus on school, my job, and writing (my hobby). I've already tried to explain that to them but they don't think those are valid excuses/reasons.

How can I get them off my back!?

It's necessary for a parent to use the double-edged "sword" of love and
discipline because they want their kids to be obedient and respectful. If a parent tries to be
their children's friend , their kid is not going to take things seriously. He/She are going to
think that everything is a joke that they can get away with. Parents who try to be their kids
friend, set up themselves for problems in the future. If a parent just tries to be a friend
their children will follow their parents example of how they are being raised. Sometimes
parents think that by being their children's friend is going to build a strong relationship,
parents can be their child's friend. However their children have to always remember that
they are also their parents. When their children reach to adulthood their attitude and
rebellion are going to lead to consequences and major problems in the future. A
parent must teach their kids to be obedient , setting up rules and telling them what's
right and wrong. My parents always taugh me manners , because not having them
shows a bad personality about ourselves. I have a cousin and she is 4 and she is
very rebellious , if she doesn't get what she wants she will start to make a big scene
and to make matters worse she will start yelling at her mom in public.I think that her
mom and dad should take action , because thay are setting her up for failure in the future.
Her attitude would not be convenient to them. Children like this are just taking advantage
of their parents and they should take action for this situation. In order to raise a
responsible and compassionate human being , parents need to take action of how
to discipline their children , this is going to benefit both of them.

I have been estarnged from my extended family for about a year. Recently, we started communicating again. Everytime I am in contact with them I end up getting my feelings hurt. i feel like i am an emotional rollercoaster when I ever i have anything to do with them. What should I do, continue to have a relationship with them or cut them off completely for my own mental sake? I really feel like I have had enough and I know they won't change.

Don't you hate when you are so close to someone, you can get those unwanted thoughts about them? Like say you are BEST friends with your mom and you get thoughts of her being ugly and stuff. Doesn't it hurt? I think my mom is beautiful and i hope when i get older, i look as pretty as she does. The features i don't like of myself i think are from my dad like my nose and stuff because my moms isn't like mine. Like i said i think she is beautiful. Or you could also get these thoughts about a friend. It sucks because you stop and think, "do i really think she is ugly" but you know deep down you don't think she i.

My 22-yr-old diabetic sister has had some problems in her past with drugs, mainly because of her bad choice in friends. She moved out of state w/a friend last yr for about 6 mos & no one knew where she was/how she was doing - she even ended up in the hospital for a week & no one found out till days later. 5 mos ago, she moved into my house with me - I have a 3 bdrm house & live alone, so it just made sense b/c my mom lives out of state & my dad just got remarried & the new wife doesn't want a houseguest. Anyway, since my sister's been back, she got a minimum wage job & is much healthier than she was in Oct., but she doesn't respect my house, doesn't clean up after herself & gets mad when I point out her messes, she eats everything, and there's no indication that she plans on moving out any time soon. I don't want her back 'on the street', but I'm not sure how much longer I can put up with this. Should I let it slide & be happy she's healthy, or should I send her packing?

I don't even think she realizes how bad her alcoholism is. She gets drunk daily and phones everyone she knows, slurring her words. She seems so angry at everyone and everything. Anyone with advice that has a similair situation with a friend or family member. I'm sick with worry too.

My biological father doesn't like my cousin which is a very important person in my two year old sons life. His birthday is in 3 weeks and my father won't attend the party if my cousin is there. So do I let my sister throw him another party because of my fathers selfishness or do I tell them that if they want to come to the party then they have to come to the one I am having and put their differences asside for 3 hours on 1 day for my son?

She's an alcholic, very much in denial, very critical of everyone else's life, incl. mine. She's very negative, not fun to be around at all & I have avoided her for months due to these reasons. She claims to be making amends with people now so am assuming it's my turn. how do I handle this with an open mind but also be guarded for the same old behavior as she hasn't gotten any professional help for drinking so don't know that there will truly be any change.

I have crept the city streets with my mother looking for a brother who lives his life in the streets since I was 10--I am now 30. I recently told my mother I would no longer help her track him down on the streets in only God-knows-what kind of hell hole. She recently stopped speaking to me. I don't think I'm wrong on this, but just in case...what do you think?

My parents are very strict and it drives me crazy!! I am very responsible and I haven't done anything to make them think that I'm not. Sometimes, I just want to go to the mall or see a movie with my friends, but it is impossible! It isn't like I want to go out EVERYDAY!! I'm 15, and I live in a pretty safe area, so I don't see what the problem is...is there anything you think I can say to my parents to get them to let me hang out with my friends occasionally?
