I was so excited because my older brothers were coming home from college. But all they do is iratate me! They had got lunch and didnt get me anything then they were like wow that sucks. Then my mom had given them money to get something to eat. And they made me wait until 7pm until they went and got it. I was straving. The whole time they kept singing songs about food and good it was to make me mad. Then today I had to ring a bell for salvation army. They went to give me a hug before I went then they go well I hope you get frostbite Ash. Then last night I was watching tv and they kept bouncing nerf balls off my head until I started screaming at them. Why are they so mean to me? What have I ever done to them? I was so excited to see them and all they do is make fun of me. Is there a way I could get them back?

My husband and I have been having issue lately and he's begun to throw things at me. First it was a peice of pizza after I turned away from an argument, then (we run a cafe on the weekends) he screams in front of all of our customers that I'm a F***ing B***h, the next weekend he threw a plate of hash browns and hit me in the back of the head, again in front of all our customers. I just don't know what to do, we're under a lot of stress right now, we have four daughters, two of whom are disabled and one who isn't doing well, so there's a major source of stress. Having explained the stress, he swears he would never throw anything that would hurt me (we're obviously omitting the PLATE!) and that he knew what he was doing. So to me that says he consciously made the decision to throw something at the back of me head and it scares me. If he did it out of anger and didn't think about it then what's next? I just don't know what to do, any suggestions would be helpful.

Okay, So My grandma rents a room to this guy, but he never pays the full rent, and he's always bringing this girl to his room, even though my grandma told him not to because it wastes money. He's basically just taking my grandma's money by living there, (not litterally), and my grandma is just having a hard time with him being there, and she can't kick him out because there is no Lease. So she said "Oh I wish he
just wasn't here at all!"

So what is a good plan to make this guy (from India) leave our house? I'm only a teenager so keep that in mind.
I was thinking, maybe just give him dirty looks until he gets fed up, but that's stupid and not well planned out.

h.e.l.p.

When a mother is awarded full custody of a child does the state automatically go for child support against the father or is it the mothers decision to get child support? I live in ct. and she wants full custody of our son. Can she go for just custody alone without me having to pay support through the court? Ladies, please dont jump to conclusions and judge me. I am a good father and I pay for him its just a question. Thanks

Why does it seem as if my mom likes my sister more?

My sister is 15 and she curses at my mom and she does not get in trouble but when i was 16,im now 18, i curse at my mom and my mom tells me that she hates me and she was going to kick me out the house!

I always got yelled at when i got in trouble at school when i was younger and now my sister is in High school and failing two classes and does not get in trouble at all.

My mom has even told me that she likes my sister more and that i was ugly and stupid.

Is this favortism or am i just jealous at my sister?

Mother and I have had a rocky relationship since i was a baby. She has always treated me like crap and never been there for me. But no matter what i have always been there for her. She has always treated me as if i wasnt her daughter though. So up until 6 months ago i still listened to her and respected her even though her advise was always wrong and distorted because shes always high on weed or zanxes. Anyways to make a long story short 6 months ago she told me to stay out of her life. I did until thanksgiving i made an effort and baked her a few of her favorite pies and dropped them off. I invited her to my daughters b-day party and she said she was busy. She didnt call say happy birthday or anything. The day before was her other grand babys b-day and she gave her money, bought gifts, and a cake for her. BUt doesnt do anything for my daughter. Now shes always treated me like crap and i still buy her gifts and give her money etc. I dont want to this year should i feel guilty, im tired

I got engaged to my husband, Cooper, at my graduation ceremony. We'd been dating 3 years and had just begun having sex, and a few weeks after my 19th birthday, I found out that I was pregnant.

Cooper and I got married, and I gave birth to our beautiful son Christopher, and our angelic daughter, Kaylie, followed 2 yrs later. I just gave birth to our triplets, Alyssa, Brooke, and Cade, 5 mos ago, and Cooper and I have decided to get a divorce.

So here I am, 25 yrs old in the middle of a divorce, with my 5 children stuck in the middle. I regret feeling this way, but sometimes I wish I had waited just a few more years before started my family. I love my children to death; each and every one of them, but sometimes I just wonder that if I hadn't bore them at such a young age, I might have been able to travel, go to college, and maybe establish a career.

Am I wrong to feel this way? Did I indeed start my family when I was too young?
Please tell me the truth
Thank you all very much

I have been looking for a job for 6 months, and I am getting frustrated. I had only two interviews. My sister is substantially younger than me, and has 3 jobs. My family and I were having dinner together and my dad really upset me. He and I are very close and he always says things to me like, something will come through for you. And, he tells my sister "I AM SO PROUD OF YOU". But, I am starting to question if he really means what he is saying to me. Recently, at the dinner table, in front of countless relatives, he says, I am not worried about Jacqueline (my sister) because she will always have a job. She wants something out of life. I got upset and fired right back. What do you mean? I have been looking high and low for a job. He told me I was too sensitive. Do you think I am overreacting, or were his true feelings exposed without him recognizing it. Please advise, I am very upset.

I am 23 yrs old and when I was drinking with my sis and brother in law, they were giving me weird looks all the time. At one point by bro in law even said that you might have to take a day off tomorrow if you drink this whole glass. My entire family ( including him) knows that I do drink and a glass with heavy food is not enough to make me drunk. He asked me whether I know what it had and I said yes I know it has alcohol in it. Also he asked me if I drink beer or wine. and I said no I don't like the taste, so he was like well does that mean that you can jump to Vodka or Martini. Even in the car while coming back he kept looking back to see if I was sleeping and even at home he was like lets see if you sleep early today. I know myself that one glass was not enough for me to get me drunk and sleepy. I was the last one to sleep yesterday and first one to get up ( he did have a bottle of corona and he woke up late and went to bed early). I can't figure out why was he acting all concerned?

So when we grew up christmas was always with my parents on the eve. Now all the kids are grown up and out for a long time. 1 brother lives far away and spends his with his kids and grandkids, 1 sister lives kind of far away and has no one but her husband , cause she is an alcoholic and no one likes her any way. and 1 brother lives close is 41 and is engaged to a 23 year old and caters to her every wim. And then there is me who still believes that christmas is time to be with FAMILY and friends. My parents totally count on me for everything because I am the closest. So many years ago I decided to quit catering to the parents and the in laws and started having christmas at my house. EVERYONE AND ANYONE INVITED.

My dad is a good man, but when I try to think about the happy times we spent together, nothing comes to mind...I mean, it's almost as if I had been raised by a single mother.
I played soccer and softball, played piano and the flute, but my father never came to any of my games even when we won the regional championship or to any of my concerts. He did however found time to coach my brother's hockey team.
I went away to college and he never called me or even sent me an email. He's not abusive or anything but now when he tries to talk to me like he would to any other adult, I feel like I'm talking to a complete stranger, am I the only one who feels like this?

My father is increasingly getting mad when told "no" or if he wants something done and I can't do it right then. He is not frail or homebound or anything like that. My latest is that he asked me if he could put something in my garage that I just had built and the inside is not done. MY stuff is not in there yet and I explained this to him and he has not spoken to me in 3 weeks and when I asked if he is coming for Christmas was told he has other plans. He acts more and more like a spoiled brat if he doesn't get his own way. My grandmother was like this too but not to this extent. Any advice or websites that would help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a little brother that moved in with me after he graduated from High School. (We grew up in Nevada, I live in Texas) He decided that he wanted to live with me to go to college. When he got here he decided he was going to take a semester off of school and start in the winter. He moved back home in Sept., telling me that it was nothing that I did, he just couldn't handle being away from all of the family and his friends.

This week I decided to get a myspace page so that I could stay in touch with him easier. I was reading some of his posts, and he told all of his friends that he moved back home because I am and unreasonalble b****, and that I had told him he wouldn't have to pay a dime and then demanded he pay me 1000.00 a month to live in my house. I never told him it would be completely rent free, and I only asked him for 100 a month to help cover the cost of bills and groceries.

What I want to know is, should I say something to him about what he said about me?

Ever since I can remember, my parents were too old to keep up with me . Their attitude was always "Why go out and have fun when we can stay home ?" . They griped and complained every time I wanted to go to the movies, or to another town . I didn't like that, and I swore I'd never put my children through that . NOW -- if your parents are older than most, what kind of an experience was that for you ? Did your parents push themselves to keep up with you, or did you have to have to sacrifice so your parents could take it slow and easy ? Did your parents gripe and complain whenever you wanted to have fun ? Was having older parents a good or a bad experience for you ? Do you think it's okay for parents to be old ? Are there any difficulties with having older parents that I didn't mention ?
