before you go on rambeling about how i shouldnt do such a thing, stop and just trust my judgement please. im not an over dramatic teenager, and im not claming to be abused. life is just unfair and thats all im saying. but im 16 and need to know if i can move out or not. i know people who have done it and tell me that i should but the school says im not old enough to move out yet, not even old enough to pick what parent to live with. i cant be imancipated [sp] cause i live in new york but i do want to move out, maybe with a friend or sumthing.
thank you.

I'm 24 - living alone and paying my own bills also live faraway from parents. My boyfriend is 35 and he has a 5 yrs old son from his previous relationship.

I love him so much that I want him to be proud of me. But one day, when his son was with him when I was there - I had to sleep on his son's bedroom (not with him), because he uses to sleep with him when he's around and on his son's mind is only both of them - no one else. He didnt even kiss or hug me in front of him made me feel that I've been pushed away.

Then I was at the end of anger when he asked me to sleep on his son's bedroom. Really pissed me off that made me ended up on the couch.

I want him to be proud of me. I want to know how to act maturely and understand his feeling also tolerate his son. But what is an adult? How to act maturely? How to tolerate a 5 yrs old? For me, I think he should learn to sleep on his own bedroom so I can have cuddles at night. Is it selfish?

My mom and I are visiting my Aunt as well as my cousins.Any way today after I had breakfast with just my mom and my aunt I went shopping on my own and then my aunt and my mom went back to my Aunts Apartment at her Assisted Living Place. About a half hour into my shopping my zipper to my purse broke. I went to a store and purchased a new purse (a bigger one to hold everything). This one does not have a zipper but a magnetic snap. Anyway I transferred all my stuff from my old purse into the new one, checked the old one to see if I missed anything and then threw the old one out at the mall when I saw I transferred everything into the new purse.When I came back to the apartment my mom saw my new purse and I told her what happened. When I told her I did not keep the old purse (that I threw it out after transferring everything from the old purse to the new purse) she asked me was I sure I took everything out of the old purse. I told her I did and she asked me three more times was I sure that I did take everything out of the old purse. I then told her that I needed to buy the new one and I asked her what she would have done and she said you know me I would have brought the old purse back to the apartment and checked the old purse a few more times. However, when she said the above to me what went through my mind is that she was implying I should have still used the old one.MY QUESTION: Am I thinking stupidly and how would you have interpreted what my mom said if she said it to you?

I have a question for you. My mother is overbearing and trying to control me now at the age of 26. She has come to the point where she tells me kids they don't have to listen to me but to her. She answers them when they say mommy. She has also went as far as to go to the school and ask what their visitation policies are during the school day. I wondered if anybody had any advice as to how to deal with her and make her stay away from my kids while they are in school. Also to help her understand they are my kids and she can't just do whatever she wants with them and not ask me.

He's probably working right now but if I dont go to that registration idk if i can make up. I mean what classes will I have on the first day. Man, Im really scared right now. What should I do?

I'm 17, my parents and sister (she's 10) want to go on vacation nxt week (from about Wednesday-Sunday). We normally go to TN b/c my sister loves Dollywood. I was miserable last year bc I didn't do anything there. The main thing is riding rides, but I won't ride them by myself, so I just had to follow my family around and go on little kid rides with my sister. My sister wants to go back, but I know I'd be miserable again. My dad keeps yelling at me whenever we talk about vacation. Last night he was like, "What's wrong with you? Why can't you go anywhere? Where do YOU want to go? Besides where do you think your going to stay if you don't go? With nana & pop? Bc you're not staying home alone, and sure as hell not staying @ Phillip's (my boyfriend) house!" To be honest I don't really want to go anywhere, but I'm not staying w/ my grandparents. They live right around the block so it seems dumb to lug all my clothes and all over there, and it would just be weird staying there. Advice?

My father is constantly emotionally abusive to me, my sister and even to my mother. This abuse has being going on for year's but recently it has been getting worse in line with my father's increasing consumption of alcohol, my mother seems to pretend its not happening. He is verbally abusive and it is impossible to talk to him without him either ignoring me or raising his voice screaming at me and trying to intimidate me.
I have just left home because of this, although this has made life difficult as I am staying with friends at the moment and I have no permanent residency until I can move into university accomodation. I was wondering what legal action I could take against my father if any considering I live in the UK?

I socialsie with my family and my partners family. But my partner and I get nothing back but snide remarks. We treat eveeryone with respect and welcoming. I get really depressed because I always seem to be at the brunt end of everyones elses jokes or I get left out of nights out. it really hurts. My sisters husband continually comes between my sister and I and I hate that. im getting married soon and feel so annoyed by this i dont even want to ask my sister to be bridesmaid. Feel very down.

My mother In-law baby sits my one year old and she gets bored. She babysits at my home once a week and some times more. She's a really social person so I think sitting around is not her thing. We don't have phone she can use just has her cell so not sure if she can use that, but the worst of it is she cleans and moves things around my house and it drives me crazy i told her how i felt and she still does it. It is embarrassing that she does things like that. She always has to be in control. I feel like she only baby sits because she has too and not that she wants to. What grandmother wouldn't want to babysit there grandchild? I need help. What can keep her busy while babysitting??? Help PLEASE---Note this is her first grandchild and only grandchild.

How do I get her to clean her apt and keep it clean? I mean it smells, she never cleans her dishes and even when she does, all she does is rinse them out...she rarely uses soap. The carpet is filthy with stains and has never been vacuumed. Her bedsheets are totally nasty and the bathroom...I never use. She used to watch my kids for me, but I couldnt take it any more because my 2yo always got sick after being over there. She has a 2 yo son that stays sick and I believe the condition of her apt is part to blame. I've seriously considered calling child protective services or the health dept. And anytime anyone(me, my mother, or my aunt) says something to her about it, she blows up. And she only cleans up a little if shes having company so she is well aware that she is living trifling. I mean should I get an agency involved so she can see how serious this is?

she's 12, i'm 15. i don't think i've ever liked her, but it's gotten worse lately. she keeps buying clothes like mine [ie. if i wear a blazer over a hoodie, she will the next day], but at the same time, she tells me i dress like a freak. [fyi, i'm emo, no jokes thanks] it's upsetting, because i think clothes are an expression of my individuality.
she listens to music i HATE like beyonce, nelly furtado, justin timberlake... i listen to fall out boy, my chemical romance, paramore... again, she things the whole "emo" subgenre is stupid, but in the next breath, she'll say "OMG! i love my chemical romance! they're soo cool". seriously. i have to keep my music a secret, otherwise she'll trash it by singing along really badly. she could enter AI t's that bad.
she is very tactless, and says soo much horrible stuff, so i never listen to her. she never notices when she should just keep her mouth shut... it's painful. you know, there's always one person you just want to muzzle... that's her

Lets start with my brother Josh: When I get up say like to get something from upstairs he takes the computer chair, he waits for me to go to bed with him (well same time we dont share a room) and he stands looking ova my shoulder. This is what causes our fights, him. He gets my half sista to do his dirty work and shes only four that shouldnt be right. He tried hooking me up with a 25yr old male on the internet last year its just lucky that i found out before he was doing it (i heard him planning it though) I just cant wait to get away from home cuz of him i feel depressed and just need revenge!
Cousin - Stuart hes 17 and he acts so immature like he got my brothers toy sword and practically stab me in the rib with it and steals my phone and reads my messages. Hes very strong and so it would be hard getting my own back. He leaves his phone in kitchen so shall i hook

I've been hearing about this recently and, despite the fact I feel I parent our 3 boys as their personalities dictate (as opposed to where they fall in the family), I would love to hear from anyone who has a view on 'middle child syndrome'

My Husband is a middle child and he is one of the most adjusted and caring people I know. He is quieter than his siblings, but to me that's just his personality, not that he was overlooked as a child.

I'm adopted, and I get made fun of for it.

I don't know why.

I was born on accident, emaning, I wasn't supposed to be born.

My biological mother smoke, and drunk while pregnat with me.

She smoked about 2 packs a day.
I was her fourth child.

And she didn't want me.
all her other kids were in college when I was born.

And my 'sisters' don't know I exist.

Would you make fun of me, or is she just a little buttface who has no life?
