ok well i work at a gym and i take racquetball there through my college and my instructor also works at the gym as a trainer also. I am friends with his wife b/c she was one of my past college teachers. He rides my *** about things with my job sometimes and he isn't even my boss, just my instructor and friends husband. Oh and he always picks on me in racq. class and tests my skills first out of the others in the class, which i am the only girl. When he walks by the front desk sometimes, i will be looking at him and he will make that face where it looks like hes trying not to smile. Also... sometimes I will tell him bye just to be nice when I am leaving and he NEVER says anything back.. last week he played me in the class and said that if i didn't serve the ball right after 2 times, then i would have to give him some pushups.. then he smiled after he said that. I dont know what the heck his problem is... what do you think?

I am obsessed with queen and it brings me down psychologically. i keep downloading their music on YT in fact, as i type this i am downloading Untold story pt2. i cant stop! what will it take to finally get this out of my system so i never think about Queen or their music again? FM seems like a dark vampire to me. the thought of him depresses me and puts me in a funk.

He and his wife have been married for 8 years, have 3 kids- 6 & 4 y.o girls and a 6 month old son. Together and apart, they live with and mooch off of all family members. Neither works for more than a month or two at a time. Kids are adorable, but poorly behaved (the oldest has been in 8 schools already, in the 1st grade!) My hubby & I have tried to help and bail them out, tech then how to manage their money, but they always want to do what is easiest for them, not pay bills, get kicked out, buy toys for the kids, move from family member to family member. They have been kicked out of 5 family member houses, including mine. We have put over $50K into their bills and budget with in the last 5 years. About $30K into vehicles for them that never got repaid. His wife is very blunt and disrespectful ("This is how I am...take it or leave it!" I leave it...) Both are very lazy. Have GEDs, he's been discharged from the Navy. She's covered with tattoos, including a pentagram on her hand.

Ok so I am a freshman. (9th grade, 14 years old) My family is so over protective! Sometimes I can't take it anymore. But I know they love me and care about me but I am still a girl with needs. I can't put on make up, can't have close guy friends, meaning no boyfriends what so ever until I finish college. Crazy or what?! I am always expected to clean the house and get straight A's. I am so stressed! I want to be just like a normal teenager with close guy friends and hanging out with friends at malls and having fun, I am missing out on so many things.

I need your opinions, tell me what you think, is it just me with this problem? I feel like all my peers are having the best time and I am missing out on all the fun. :(

Got in a HUGE fight today. I am 15 and I have a brother and two sisters. All of them moved out (my brother is in the army) They get into some pretty big fights everyonce in a while but not like this. He kept telling my mom what to do and saying if she didnt do it he would nag her all day every day until she did. Anyways the fight was about 1 1/2 hours ago and my mom has been gone since it ended. I dont know where she went but I'm stuck here with my stepdad and his daughter(18). They both hate me and we rarley talk to eachother. It is really weird and I don't know what to do. Any advice/support? Thanks
By the way we dont live in like a trailer park or anything we have a 3 story house so I can avoid my stepdad and his daughter easily.

I am really emotional these 2 weeks.. so many bad things have happened! I just.. each time i go to sleep i cry.. i get pissed at everything aorund me.. for no reasson really.. Like for example if my parents tell me to do my homework or they sorda yell at me beacucase i didnt clean my room (even though i promise..) i get mad and pissed at them go to my bedroom and slam the door.. then i realize what i did was wrong AND CRY! I just i dont know what im doing until i do it!

I just hate and hate and hate my parents to death! I know all of you people think everyone hates their parents but I just hate them! What is their freakin' problem? I cant have fun anymore! They always spoil everything! They don't let me go to my friends house, to a concert, or even wal-mart!I'm a female I make good grades and what else do they want with me? All they do is trying to ruin my life! I tried being peaceful but I couldn't! Every time I see my parents I want the world to destruct or kill them and every human being on earth(even myself!). Ever since my grandma pass away they act more strict and lazy. And sometimes I get in trouble with the teacher because it was my parents responsibility to sign something and they left it somewhere else or don't do it at all! Every time I get good grades they don't even put effort into what they're saying. Sometimes I even think about being violent! And the only way to have positive attitudes are when I'm away from them.

my sons dad and I are trying to work together to be a family again and he will be moving in with me and our son. The problem is he's in my hometown, doens't have 1 single family member or friend within a 200 mile radius. The thing is I work full time and he is willing to be the stay at home dad, we've had problems in the past....lets just say he's not the most responsible person you'll meet. So is it okay that I work and he stays home, he'll have no income coming in cuz he's at home wich thats what I wanted instead of our 1 yr old being at a day care. So should it be okay that I pay for everything for him, including beer whenever he wants it? Afterall he is the full time parent? Im confused and is it weird that I may feel like im being taken advantage of? Any suggestions.

I should say he is more of a secret boyfriend, because we love each other but my parents won’t let me love him. He's so wonderful. It's hard to put it into words, but he is the man of my dreams. We first started out hating (yes hating) each other because of a misunderstanding and then I finally confronted him about it when we were alone together. He had hurt himself playing soccer and was in a lot of pain when I spoke to him, so I stayed and took care of him while we talked...surprisingly, we forgave each other and found that their was a definite attraction. We have been together for 2 months and have written to each other for 4 months (he's in boot camp for the navy). I love him!!! I really do! And he loves me too! I think about him every single day, even though I try not to it still happens!

The problem is, my parents don't want me to be with him. My father does not want me to love him and wishes that I never looked after him when he was hurt. My mother just wants us to be like friends, but more like acquaintances. My dad won’t even let me hug him. AND I am 18 years old. Can parents actually tell their kids not to love someone? Someday, I hope to marry this guy, he’s a wonderful man (he’s also 18). He’s going to be fighting for my freedom, he wants to take care of me and to always be there for me in one form or another. He’s not that “slick tongued” sort of person. He tells me I’m beautiful because he doesn’t believe that ladies should be called hott or sexy unless they are in an intimate relationship. This guy is my everything. I love him, but why do my parents want to stop me from loving him? Why are they acting like this? He didn’t do anything wrong, I swear! I’m so frustrated! Please help!

I have been going out with this girl a little over three months now. We are both 18 and have graduated high school. The problem is that every time my girlfriend goes home after we do something like gong to the movies, bowling, etc, lately, her mom finds some way to punish her or bring her down. I love her so much and it makes me sad that her mom does this.
I also feel that her mom absolutely despises me and doesn't want me in her life. I am the person who got her to start college when no one else would. Her mom wanted her to do construction because thats what she does. It seems that anything that is against her, she hates it and puts it down.
Last night when she got home her mom told her she doesn't trust her anymore and she didnt' even do anything wrong. She would move out but she is poor. Her mom also makes her pay 100 rent a month and do all her dirty work like errands,clean.

How do I deal with this situation its driving me up the wall I want things to work out. Any suggestion

My step brother is a total screw up. He's 20, and he never got through high school because of drugs and alcohol. Because of that and his habits of stealing everything he sees, my mom and step dad kicked him out. He moved in with his mom and she ended up kicking him out because he stole her tv and radio and kept doing drugs. so my mom and step dad decided to give him one more chance because he had no place to live. But last night he came in the house totally drunk to where he could barely walk and he started calling my mom every name in the book and he started threatining her. My mom wants to kick him out but i'm scared hes going to get violent with her. My dad is at work and she will be the only one home with my step brother. What should i do? Should i call the cops?

my mother just bought me a $200 outfit. i didnt ask her to - i just needed church clothes for fall so she bought me the outfit. i love it and she's all excited about it and so I am. She says it is worth the $200 if I'll wear it a lot instead of spending $200 on a Homecoming Dress I'd only wear once (since I didnt go to my homecoming) and the outfit is gorgous!!!

so, what is the problem exactly? I wore it over to my grandmother's house to "model" it for her. She just sat there and nodded and then when my mom left to use the restroom she said "i dont know what you think you are doing but you do not deserve that outfit and i think it is hateful and rude of you to use your mother like that." and when my mom came back she told her, "i cant believe you spent that much on her. she's just using you. she'll wear it once and thats it"

i think that was totally inappropriate of her to say. i appriciate what my mom did for me. was my grandma out of place to say these things?

I really need you to pray for me. At my work, this guy is trying to ruin our business. My grand-father isn't doing so well and he probably won't get any better, and it's more than likely his time to leave this world and enter Heaven. My dad is very stressed right now, because of the guy at work. My mom's bithday was this week, and we didn't do much for her, and I feel really guilty. My aunt has Cancer and there is no treatment for it, and she is going through Chemo-Therapy. My mom is a smoker, and is trying to quit, but isn't doing it as fast as I think she should, and I am worried. My brother is a smoker and his girlfriend is trying to get him to quit, but nothing seems to work. My dad won't let my family do anything related to work, but this guy from work is having a bonfire, and my dad doesn't want to go for some reason, but I do, and this guy that I really like is going to be there, because it's his dad that's having the bonfire.......wait, I have more......I am adding details.....

So, I had this trip that cost about $300 that I opted not to go to because my family's financial situation isn't that great.Plus my parents are trying to save money for my sister's university [next year]
My dad lives in Kuwait, he recently went to my grandmother's memorial service in another country. Today I find out that he's coming over in a few hours. My mom didn't even tell me directly, she told my sister to tell me, and that's about.. $1000 for the plane ticket.
WTF? He's only staying here for a few days, so that makes it a bigger waste of money. I don't like my dad. I've lived without him for 3 years now,& whenever he comes here, he criticizes everything I do, from the way I dress to my school work. Alcohol's illegal in Kuwait, so he spends money on that here.& when it comes to things I need, like when my laptop needs fixing, he complains about the money.
He complains about my room being messy & thinks I'm hiding things from him, so he practically raids my room.
Help me T_T

I'm moving out, I need to know what is legally mine.

Some say, if it was a gift, its mine.
Some say, if it was a christmas gift or anykind of gift its mine.
Some say, if my parents bought it, its theirs, no questions.
Some say, if my parents can prove they bought it, its theirs.

I need to know what is legally correct.
If they bought it, but it was a gift gift, can I still keep it?

Such as,
a cd,
if they bought it, and gave it to me...
even though it wasn't my b-day or such,
is it legally mine?
