OtherI (17M) have a friend (16F) who stayed the night for the first time recently. We shared a bed (I'm gay and she's q**er) I thought it went well, and I had a lot of fun. But when I woke up, she seemed really angry. I asked what was wrong and she said that at around 3 am she asked for a blanket, five times, and apparently I said "what?" each time, and then said "no." and turned over, rudely. I laug...
Family ConflictAfter TG break, I (25F) flew back home to TX where I'm working temporarily. My family's in GA. We spend holidays in AL so I had to drive back to GA, to catch my flight back to TX. I almost missed the flight because of Thanksgiving/Sunday traffic, and got back to TX pretty late; very stressful day of travel and running around. Because of this, I was extremely exhausted and decided to crash at my ...
BoundariesMy fiancé "Jen" (29f) just gave birth to our daughter 2 months ago. She strictly b***stfeeds, so as you can imagine, she gets far less sleep than I do. During the day I help with changing or holding her but all feedings are up to Jen (the baby outright refuses a bottle- we have tried several times, but ultimately we are both okay with this). Anyways, I'm kind of a independent start up video game ...
Family ConflictI have 2 adult sons who are both married and have kids of their own. My wife has alzheimer's disease and therefore I need help. I can afford to get a nurse for her, but I don't feel right about having a stranger at my home. So my oldest son and his 2 children moved in so that he could help me. We gave my oldest son's room to him, my youngest son's bedroom to my grandson, and our guest room to my...
RelationshipThe past couple of months, my wife has been complaining about our cats. She’s been claiming that the cats wake her up constantly and that she’s frustrated every night that she “has to get up and open the door for the cats” or “the cats keep making noises” or “the cats keep jumping on her.” It got to the point where she started saying she wants me to get rid of them. I told her I’ve never seen or...
BoundariesMy daughter (31F), her wife (33F) and their son (5M) live in a different state. I (60F) always am the one who goes to visit them in their house because of my DIL's busy work schedule. My daughter said she wanted to come and see me and her old friends with her family. They are currently renovating their house (they have a house in our city and usually stay there when they rarely do come over) and ...
BoundariesOur daughter is 5 and she’s been having trouble sleeping recently due to nightmares and us moving. She asked her dad if she could have me at night and he said no. She tried to negotiate with him and asked for one night and told him she was scared, but he told her she couldn’t as I needed to sleep with him at night. Even though she was crying, he didn’t back down. When I asked her what was wrong...
RelationshipThis sounds so ridiculous but it happens way more often than you might think. Me (29F) and my boyfriend (40M) have been living together for about two years now, and he has an awful habit of leaving the toilet seat up, especially at night. I wake up a couple times at night to p*e thanks to a weak bladder, and every second counts when I'm hustling through the dark and trying not to trip on my cats. ...
ParentingMy wife and I (both early 30s) have two sons, an 8yro and a 2yro, and we are also raising her niece (5yro) currently, because her parents are in rehab. I'm a SAHD and my wife works. When we had our oldest, my wife was a SAHM for a little over a year, and then she decided to go back to work. She makes more money than I do, and I was really happy to spend time with our son, so I agreed to stay home...
OtherSo I'm currently in a leg and arm cast due an accident and so temporarily moved back home with the rents and my younger sister. My parents are currently out of town and so it was just me and my sister. My sister has a tenancy of leaving her keys behind/losing them and usually we have to open for her. She was going out for a party Friday night and I warned her to triple check that she had her key...

My siblings are all married and have kids and are gonna bring their spouses and kids with them. Our mom's...
OtherI (35F) have a stepdaughter (13) who spends every other weekend at my home. My husband and I have 3 kids (4 months, 2 years, and 4 years). My baby is super fussy; it's been really bad. The doctor said she is okay, she is really colicky. She cries all night long. The past few months have been a nightmare, working all day and no sleep at night. I am a super light sleeper. I have been canceling our...
