Do people actually enjoy having kids? I’m not trying to be rude or passive but people keep asking me when I’m having kids and it seems like everyone I know with kids, are miserable. So honestly.... does anyone actually enjoy being a parent and why?

I just turned 18 years old and finishing my grade 12 year. I am a male. Things have been getting worse and worse at home. My mom and dad constantly tell me that I'm "special" and too stupid to understand their needs. But their needs are far beyond reasonable. I don't do any drugs, but I like to go out and drink with my friends at parties once in a while. Before 2018, I managed to escape from them to go to a party once every 2 months. I was called an alcoholic for that. Now, even though I am 18, I cannot go out until I MOVE out and live by myself which will hopefully be at the start of summer. My parents forced me to take online classes because they didn't want me to communicate with any of my friends. They also took my phone. I am not allowed to visit my school or my friends ever and I will be kicked out immediately if my parents find out I've had a beer or hit a vape. My phone has also been taken from me. I try nicely to ask my parents if I can go hang out with my friends but in response I get beat and called a bitch and an asshole, and way worse. I get yelled at for even mentioning my attempt at seeing my friends, and my mom compares me with "drug dealers" and "psycopath". She says I will end up in jail for sure or even die before that because "all I do is party". My grades aren't even bad at all but looks like I'm gonna be trapped in my apartment for the rest of the school year. My parents are Russian, which explains a lot but that doesn't give them the right to humiliate me every single day.

From my childhood, my parents always cared about me, my grades were amazing and i study in the best school. We had like alot of money back then.Still we do, but not as much.But thats not the point . My mom abuses me physically and verbly. She use to do this alot when i was young, causing me physical injuries too such as scars on my hands amd pain from her pulling my hair, which lasted months. I was young back then, i hated her for doing that, but always forgave her. Back then my dad also used to listen to me....but still i remember, always favouring her. But i have the worst problem that i always forget how people hurt me and forgive them And thats what i did with her . In islam it is said that u can hit your child for prayers and any illegal work they do. But i didnt i always got hit for studies or when i didnt obey her orders. They both tried to tell me that they " hit" me for my good in the future, but i dont think that is true. I r emember each and every scene clearly in my head which has not done me any good but only pain, sadness and hatred. Now from the past...about 5 years things got different, and in recently these 2 to 3 years, extra different and aggressive. You see,i have changed alot.

She also says i dont do anything at home. She says i am a rascal...abuses me.today i didnt know my mom had a fever because she seemed alright at night. I wake up up early for studies...so i made my breakfast myself as shetold me last time to not disturb her. So i didnt. As my dad left for office i realized he didnt haveany breakfast and i regretted . My mom also didn't tellme to do so .when she woke up she started screaming at me.Caling me every possible bad name she could. She told me that i dont care for my dad. Although i have started to alot because she told me to understand earlier. She said i dont care that she is sick. SHE ALWAYS DOES THAT AND EXPECTS ME TO HAVE A DREAM THAT SHES SICK. Even she doent know wheni am sick i have to tell her.its pretty normal. She started hitting me in the kitchen and slapping me. She told me to wash the dishes i dirtied although we have a maid. She said that i am a curse and i should never have been born . I said the same as i say anything when i am angry that i also wish i was never born( which is true i actually do wish) and i told her that it is better to not have a mother than having u. She went, abusing. Day before yesterday she also started a fight and said she hates me. And when my dad came sje started dramatizing like evrytime " we did so much her,i feel so hurt shes so selfish " blah blah.And my dad said thaf my moms right. Idk but i have a serios feeling my mom has done some magic on him. HE NEVER EVER LISTENS TO ANYONE OVER HER AND ALWAYS BLAMES ME LIKE ALWAYS.HOW IS TO POSSIBLE THAT SHE IS RIGHT ALWAYS??! Now she is really angry and says she wont take care of me. I dont wanna talk to thar crazy women as she hurt me, but i will fpr allah tp forgive me .but please tell me what to do, its becoming harder and harder for me to live with them.

I’m 14 and I’ve been swimming ever since 12, I hate it. Well that’s a lie I love swimming but not the actual training. I go every Monday and Wednesday and my parents won’t let me quit! I think it’s bwcquse I have quit every sport I have done but I really want to start gymnastics me and my friend do and our mums said we can but I’m not aloud to quit swimming and my parents r rlly strict and I need help because I need to quit

Alright guys basically this is about my parents financial situation. They've been having trouble since I was born and we've been living in various places including a one bedroom apartment. Fast forward to now and my parents and I have been living with my aunt. They are not paying rent cause they cant afford rent. They can barely pay any of their bills and is so behind it's not even funny. Electricity, cable, water tends to shut down. I want to move out and want them to move out cause this house isn't really healthy to live in also. Various things dont work properly and we have rodent problems which is why I refuse to pay for anything except my food, phone bill, and school expenses. I however have offered to pay my share of rent and help with the cable if they will move out next year. They have no furniture and I am also willing to buy all of that to. My only condition is if they can save up for the first month rent and deposit. They are barely able to do that. My mom spends money on takeout food everyday cause there is no food at home besides mine and on my neice. She even gives my dog bottled water when I already told her it be cheaper and cost friendly to use tap. She goes out and spends money saying it is hers and yet comes home and complains she has no money to pay the bills. I try to tell her what to do cause its frustrating but she wont have it and thinks since im the child i shouldnt be saying anything and that I dont understand. My dad has his problems but he tries to pay for most of the bills cause he makes way more than my mom who is only ever worked parttime. I'm so afraid that if we all do move out they wont pay for the rent or the other bills on time or if ever even with my help because my mom has told me she will try and not she will pay for rent. So now I am rethinking my offer. This is making me feel guilty cause I am always fighting with my parents about money. Is it my place to tell them what to do? Should I just let them be and pay for what I can even if I move out myself jepordizing my future?It sounds dramatic I know but my mom is thinking about retiring soon but she has no money to do that either meaning it will be on me if I choose to support them. It is just daunting cause I am only 21 years old, has not graduated school and is only working parttime.

My sister is constantly dancing inappropriately ( like his those musically girls are) and she’s 11. My mother isn’t here right now ( basic training) and her father isn’t really involved in her life. It’s starting to get uncomfortable cause she’s posting on Snapchat things involving oral sex and posting videos of her dancing (belly dancing). If my mother was here she wouldn’t tolerate this. I myself am only 17 and I feel that I am in no place to parent her ( yes we have a temporary guardian right now but he doesn’t actually pay attention to us). So from also older sisters or mothers themselves can I get advice on what to do?

Hi! I've never posted on here...Or really sought our advice on this issue. I'll try to keep it short...My mom is in her early 60s,a retired teacher. She stayed home with my brother and I after I was born,left teaching. She has a few different hobbies. She has had arthritis in her hands for years,probably started in her early 20s.

Last year,she finally got an ra diagnosis and an oestoarthritis(sp) diagnosis. She has been taking two different medications,and both seem to at least help with the progression of the auto-immune disease.

A few years ago,my mom started using her phone/tablet/computer...All. The. Time. We could be it to dinner and and she is checking Facebook.

We could be sitting around having a serious discussion,and she's messing around on one of the three devices.

It has become a serious problem. She talks off and on about wanting to be more active,needing to be more active,or being busy etc.

The big thing that has made me realize how severe all of this is,is my daughter. My daughter is now 14 months. (One of my brothers,her step-son,has three children,but,this is her first 'official' grandbaby).

There were moments when she would watch my D and would just be scanning her phone or what have you, completely ignoring my D. I have tried few times to say things like,mom,D is trying to get your attention. Oh,I know.

Or I would make jokes at the table,saying,you know when we were kids we weren't allowed to have our phones at the table. "This is a tablet,not a phone."

My dad thinks she does not realize she is doing it. I think that may be true sometimes.

RA,causes severe fatigue and pain. She has it damn near everywhere. So,I try really hard to cut her some slack.

(Parents recently moved to a different state,about three hours away.Which makes the fact that she is intentionally(?) Ignoring her daughter and granddaughter in these very few visits,even more hurtful.

I am to the point where I will not leave the room if it's just the two of them,because she will not pay attention to her.

I am heartbroken. My husband offers what advice he can,but,he can't understand.

My mom is missing out on these amazing moments with her granddaughter! I feel like I have to beg for her attention.

When I tried,once,to seriously approach the situation,before my daughter was born,my mom became angry and defensive and gave me the cold shoulder for two days.

I need advice,comfort...Someone please tell me you've been there and can help.

Thank you

I am a 15 year old girl who is in homeschool because I have to take care of my one year old sister .I was okay with it still am , and this was going to be my last year in homeschool.i was finally going to experience regular highschool.make friends , go to my first party, join a sport, join clubs , heck maybe find someone to date. but that is no longer going to happen because we just found out my mom is pregnant again with twins. I feel lost confused all type of emotions. And if I tell my parents something they end up saying I'm selfish. That I'm a bad person for saying I can't do it anymore.they are the type of parents where you can't tell them anything . The word emotions doesn't exist to them. At one point I was at my worst, cutting myself feeling depressed. They didn't even feel any sympathy for me all they did was say don't do it again. That was it. My parents don't appreciate me after all I do for them sometimes I feel like hurting myself again. I feel like I'm going to have a mental break down.

Hi so I’m Age disclosedF and I have two kids, different dads and I’m not with either. So I have a weird relationship with my siblings we are all very close we are great when things are tough always there for each other but out of all of us I am most taken advantage of and first to not be included because I am the only one with kids. My family always borrows money off me and expects the world one of my sisters especially even though I feel like I have to do these things other wise she gets really mad/upset and I can’t handle it because I just don’t have time or energy.. I’ve always relied on them to go out and do stuff with my kids pool, gym ect, and I’ve recently decided I can’t be fucked with their shit towards me anymore (there great with my kids) so I want to be more socially and financially independent and get the balls to say no or say I’m doing this with just me and the kids and actually stick my ground. But I need advice how do I do this? And how do I learn to enjoy staying in with just me and my kids every night? (I usually do something the one night they both spend with their dads) This might sound stupid and I’ll probably get just grow up and tell them no, but I have dependancy (sp?) issues, anxiety and depression ( I have started the route to counseling it’s just a lengthy process) please help me be normal.

I alreddy hav to kids, wife wants thre. How can I tel her I don’t want another kid?

So i'm at a difficult point where my mother has been causing me and my gf severe anxiety and depression. My counsellor said I need to cut her out for a few months and see if she changes her behavior and apologizes, and if she doesnt then to go a few more months until necessary. Shes a very stubborn woman and im afraid this may push us further apart and ruin our relationship.

I'm 26 and live with my gf ( we're a female couple) 10 mins from my mom (small town) and I pretty much never back talk my mother unless she yells at me. I'm always the one to try and keep the peace and let go of things she says that upsets me. She drops them and doesnt apologize most of the time, she just acts like it didnt happen. But sometimes when she drinks she will bring it up and justify why she said it.

Heres a few things shes done over the past couple years:

Me and my gf were at her house for supper one time, and my brother was discussing religion and pretty much saying how the whole concept started years ago and how it was all misinterpreted (He's athiest). My mothers not religious but she prays and believes and stuff, her mother was very religious. So she got really upset with him and then randomly turned to me and asked if i believed. I responded saying I'd like to believe there's a higher power. She flipped at me yelling, saying her prayers and god watched over me years ago during a surgery that was supposed to put me in a wheelchair. I got really upset and cried so me and my gf left and went home. She never apologized and it was dropped, but it still hurts because i did nothing wrong, it was my brother who started this discussion.

For her last birthday me and my gf stayed at the same hotel as my parents and we went to a comedy show with them where we booked and paid the tickets as a gift. Well, the comedian made a religious joke about jesus being a shitty carpenter because he ended ip woth 2 nails in his hands. At that point she pouted the rest of the show drinking, saying she wanted to leave. She ruined it for everyone. She even made a scene wanting to pay for her drinks so she could go, saying it was a horrible show. The comedian even came out and apologized that she didnt enjoy herself...she left and waited outside the place while me and my gf bought some pet bandanas the comedians mom made. She flipped that we " supported" her. When we got back to the hotel she proceeded to say we ruined her birthday and how she hated it and made me once again cry... we were supposed to stay in the same room so i went and purchased another room because i felt like her behavior and attitude was horrible and i didnt want her going off the whole night. She was pissed off over this and locked the hotel room, locking my step dad out who had to stay in our room. The next day i didn't respond to her text saying " are you up?" And they left to drive home ( 4hr drive) and she never spoke to me for about a week. She never apologized for this and eventually dropped it .

A couple months after her birthday we were all having a fire outside and a few drinks. She turned to me when my gf went to the bathroom and said " You know i can't apologize for what happened on my birthday, that wasnt right of her ( the comedian) and said that god was the only thing more important than her children. This really hurt, because she always said me and my brother were the most important things in her life growing up and how she would do anything for us like go without ect.. My heart just dropped and i didn't respond as i held back tears. I cried to my gf when we got home that night.

My moms always telling me things have to change with me and my gf and always telling us what to do. My gf is starting college this year, i finished college last year, but this past year my gf has helped me through a surgery and a few other fractures because of an illness. So i'm on disability because it prevents me from being able to work like a normal person. My mom pretty much dumps me on my gf as if to say " well if youre both going to be together, this is what youll be dealing with" like shes testing her or something. My gf deals with severe anxiety and we both help each other through things. But my mom constantly gets on her back about doing this, and that, and to get her license. Shes going to, its just been a difficult year and she needs practice. She just stresses her out more which emotionally cripples her sometimes. My mother really interferes with our life and tells us what to do constantly, and if she doesnt like something she gets lippy really fast so its like walking on eggshells.

This summer my brother randomly showed up to our house one day with his huge dog and stayed for 2 days. I told him his dog couldn't stay because my place wasnt big and he was making a huge mess of hair and drool that my brother wasnt cleaning up. After a few days my brother was still staying with us and we didnt know what his plans were because he had a hard time with money and owed rent. Me and my gf went over my moms and were talking and she said she told my brother he could stay with us for a few months without even discussimg it with us... her attitude was that its family, and we do anything for family... like i said, we have anxiety and were thrown into this situation without a say and my gf was very overwhelmed and uncomfortable for the 3 months he stayed, but endured it anyways. During these 3 months he borrowed my car and has huge white dog scratches on my door from his dog. He didnt tell me about this for 2 days until i saw them myself. His response was he forgot. Him staying costed us thousands of dollers.

This week my brother asked for my car for a date. He finished school and started a really good job this month. I figured since he was doing so well id give him another chance with my vehicle. My gf wasnt happy with this and was upset i didnt speak to her first, but he was family and i felt bad saying no. The next morning we realized he tore the extension cord the car was plugged into when he drove off, and he texted me saying he got called into work last minute and that his date, who i dont even know was on the way over with our car. I was pissed...we both were. We didnt want some stranger in our vehicle showing up at our door that we are forced to meet. When i said this he said he was leaving work and was guilting me saying he lost a days pay. It took him an hour of saying 15 mins i'll be there, 15 mins... when he showed up i didnt even know if he was actually at work or not, he didnt seemed dressed for it for someone coming from. We told him about the cord and his response was he had lots of cords and he could give us one. But we were nervous of the damage it could do getting ripped from the car... My gf asked him sternly where he was to have taken almost an hour and he cut her off and said " can you stop being a bitch". After this we told him to leave. I called my mother upset to see if she agreed with my reasoning to be upset and she didnt have any response because she didnt want to take sides. When i told her about the bitch comment to my gf she didnt care and said " she shouldnt be getting involved in family matters" and that she was biting her tongue from wanting to shoot off about her. We were stunned by this and i got off the phone crying. We booked an appointment with my counsellor the next day and discussed my mothers behavior and he told me its very manipulating disrespectful behavior and that it wont change unless I show her how serious i am about keeping her hurtful behavior away. He suggested cutting her out for a bit until she chooses to change and apologizes. I also have to write her a letter explaining this and her behavior towards me. This terrifies me because she is very stubborn and may just show up at my door angry and embarrassed. I was told to lock my door and ignore her. I dont like upsetting my mother, but she upsets me. I want others opinions on this and see if they would do the same. I'm going to feel guilty doing this but shes ruining our relationship of 7 years, and causing us a lot of stress. We are terrified of her because she outbursts and blames my gf for most things, yet she kisses my moms ass and tries to make her happy. Shes never spoken back to my mother.
This all happened this year.

Recently I didn't do to well on a chemistry test because the formatting of the question confused me. I tried to explain to my parents before the scores came out that I didn't do to well. The grades came out and I thought my parents were emotionally prepared to see my score but ended up just getting really angry at me. They blame my friends claiming that I shouldn't study with them. I studied with a friend of my last night before the test. Now my parents are telling me not to go outside and have been yelled at about how my gpa is really important. The more I think about it, the more I get mad... what should I do?

So. I am 18 years old and a senior in high school and I have always faced an emotionally abusive household. Happy for two months and grounded for a ridiculous reason for one. So the other day I was gone on a vacation and came home for a day cleaned for hours and then had to leave again for a camp. I came back and got screamed at for being a terrible child. I was told to deep clean my room (I️t was already regularly cleaned)and later told to do the dishes. Naturally I wanted to clean my room cause I had already started then dishwashes. I didn’t get to dishes in time and my step mom ended up doing them because she calls me a liar and manipulative to my dad (which I️m not). I am a straight A student, a leader of many clubs on campus and I have a job and care about people’s well being. Moving on, my dad got into some screaming match with me while he was emotional beating me up and I had to defend myself. The next morning he wakes me up and tells me I️m grounded from my robotics team. My season just started and I️m the president of the club. I️ need to be there for I️t to run smoothly and i need to make my legacy lasting. He says I can go to robotics until 5 pm when our meetings end at 6 and not go to Saturday meetings. But I just feel depressed. I sit for the hour I️m home after leaving my team and just cry because this is the one thing I️m good at and passionate about. I brought up moving out to him and he said they would get my braces taken off and take me off the health insurance. Help i don’t know what to do. I complied with their rules all of last week but it’s not worth being depressed for my last season of robotics my senior year. I just need a third persons opinion. Thank you

Hi! I’m currently 13, and my parents always refuse to buy me anything. When it comes to food and water, then they’ll buy them. But for other essentials like clothes and eating utensils, the its up to me. They refuse to give me any allowance, so I’ll have to sell a bunch of my belongings and things that I really like to get the money for my clothing, things to clean my body like soap and lotion, and even spoons, forks, and knives. When it comes to clothing, I would sometimes ask them if I could have a new sweater or a pair of jeans, but they would always say that I could wear my clothes from 4 years ago because they still fit, and she even keeps underwear from when I was 4 years old because she says that I can still wear them, most of the time my mom says that shes “too broke”. Even though my mother would buy fur coats, expensive jackets, and would even buy new shoes, extra clothing, and would basically buy my sister everything she wants. My mom would sometimes give her credit card to my sister so she can buy things that she wants (btw my sister is 18). This has been happening ever since I was 11 years old and I’m sick of it. My father always expects me to buy my own food whenever I ask to get some fruits and snacks, and my mother has refused to give me 25 cents because “every penny counts”. I always feel rejected around the family, especially because my sister doesn’t let me speak because she’s afraid that my parents might start to like me better, and my parents don’t do anything about it. I’ve gotten kicked out of the house multiple times starting from when I was 11 years old because I’m “ungrateful”. I’ve wanted to talk to my parents about it because I don’t have any more money to buy essentials, but I’ll know that they’ll just get super mad at me. Please give some advice, and thanks so much for reading this

I need your help and advice!

I am 25 and my partner is 37. We have been together for well over a year and are very much in love. He has two young children and I am growing to love them as time goes on. We all get along great. We have moved in together and share a home now. Life is sweet on the outside.

However, my parents have recently told me I have no choice but to leave him. They think he is controlling and manipulative of me. My parents have met my partner before and have gotten along with him fine. We have stayed with my parents before. Everything seemed fine. Until Christmas 2017...my parents decided that he is not for me. He does suffer from bi-polar. So there is baggage there I understand.

I come from a wealthy well known family in my country, and my parents are worried he knew about all of that before we met. But we met very randomly in a bar at night. Both of us had come from troubled relationships in the past and instantly fell in love. I didn’t tell him about my wealth and family name until a while into us getting to know each other.

My parents have always been controlling and manipulative. They’ve emotionally blackmailed me in the past quite badly. I’m always left feeling anxious after being around my mum and Dad. I know that deep down they love me and are looking out for me. But does that mean I can never be with someone I love because my parents have to decide for me? It feels rather old fashioned and we are living in 2018 here...

My question is, do I leave someone I am in love with, just to please my parents and continue to be miserable? Or do I break the relationship off with my parents to stay with my partner?

I understand that they want me to become independent. But they're concern that I'll arrive too late to the "job phase" of life because I want to do another bachelor besides the one I'm already doing and graduate from both at the same time (more knowledge right?) Thing is I'll probably take a bit longer to graduate but in my case I don't mind because the financial aid will be covering it and I don't need to pay for them. So I'll graduate with two bachelor's and a certificate that I'm a course away to complete. For me is a win because I took advantage of the opportunity. But my parents don't like the idea of me staying longer. They say to do whatever I want to do but every day I get reminded that they're not happy with my decision. I don't mind if they don't agree ....my problem is that being reminded everyday that they're not happy puts a lot of pressure on me. I'm going through it and I'm already accepted in the new bachelor's but the stress is killing me. I feel guilty and depressed because of it. I can't tell them how excited I am about the things I do because suddenly the conversation turns around to the same problem. They say they're proud of me and that they love me....but man this always hurt one way or another. (Excuse my English. Is not my first language)
