Polls: Family & Friends

i have not “done the nasty” in 8 years. I have totally wasted my prime years where I should be clapping cheeks on the daily. My mother has reached the point where she thinks I am gay would you be disappointed if your son was not a cheek clapper?

My mom is 69 and seems to me that she acts immature.

Here's some of the things she's done, not listing everything because it's a lot.

• Sometimes if I help her or give her something she says things like "I think you love me", "I think you like me", or "What are you trying to get?" and "What do you want from me?".
• Sometimes she fixes drinks (like teas) in a large container and gives me a size that you match a medium size or a small size cup at a fast food place like burger king, and then tells me that should last me 3 days or at least a week. While she multiple jars of it.
• A few weeks ago I asked her if she could take me to the doctor because I wasn't feeling well and was hurting and she got made a sigh and said she'll take me in a few hours and said she'll check to see if her sister could take me. But when she needs to go she asks others and no one hesitates.
• This morning I was making breakfast at 6 AM and she comes out her room into the kitchen and stares at me, and I asked her whats wrong? And she goes to the bathroom and slams the door ignoring me.
• She sometimes leaves the toilet seat with water, urine, and what ever some type of skin crust thing and it's so annoying. I told her once but she got upset when I told her about it, and I told her nicely.
• Sometimes I'll explain to her about me looking for a job and my plans on saving up to move out and she says "You're trying to leave me?" or says "Can I come live with you when you get a house?" but at the same time when she gets upset about something she always says "You need a place of your own?" Which I agree with but she switches.
• Whenever I'm explaining something to her or having a conversation she always cuts across me when she thinks she knows something without letting me finish.

Did your mother do this? Does your wife do this?

Single mothers are praised for raising kids on their own. So men who have to go through the struggle for a kid that isn’t there’s, do they get praised?

I've become more and more anti social as of late and it's progressed to me being borderline territorial with people entering what I believe is my own space and boundaries which are not to be crossed for any reason by anyone except my girlfriend or my dogs without being made unwelcome and outright told to leave up to or including forcefully removing the person from my space.

It's also trickled over to the point where I get frustrated when people who aren't my girlfriend text me as every time a blue light appears on my phone, I hope it's her as I only want to talk to her and have little to no patience for wasteful banter with anyone else. But my girlfriend, I'd talk to her about anything all day long and love every minute of it no matter the topic.

I find myself leaving family time early as I get bored and feel drained being around so many people at one time, especially since I don't enjoy banter with anyone else and all they want to do is exactly that, banter or even gossip, which is an action that makes me instantly lose any and all respect for anyone engaging in such activity to speak poorly of someone behind their back.

Are you anti social?

Like why do we treat the 18 years a dad is forced to pay child support as an obligation? Why can't the dad just say he doesn't care about the kid? Why is the dad forced to work for something he doesn't get any thing back for? Is it because the government couldnt afford to support all the single mothers themselves?

Which parent of yours is usually or mostly in control of anything that happens within the family? They don't necessarily need to have the big say in everything but most things. The person decisions have to go through them and the person that lays the rules. The boss, basically.

My stepdad (48m) and my halfbrother (10m) have been leaving the door open on several occasions. One of our house cats (1m) has been crying for help for two days. This happened especially when I (21m) woke up; the door was open, the dad and brother were standing outside (I thought the FBI was going to come after us), and right after when they walked back inside, my stepdad walked to the trash can and was feeling a little pissed off, and he said some two-word sentence starting with the vulgar F-word, ending with "-ing."

My mom came downstairs and I asked what's wrong to them, and (at first) I said that he was mad; my stepdad suggested, "Mad about what?" I quoted that he was saying "f-ing something" (the whole phrase, not just edited), and luckily I wasn't called out for quoting a cuss word. My mom said something about finding our cat.

I heard my cat making some noises, as I pointed out to my stepdad. He asked me, "What does that mean to you?" I said "I don't know." He said, "OK?" I referenced him to being "sad." He went on and told me, "Oh, well... I don't know what to say to you." I went upstairs afterwards as I was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

So im poor rn, I hate giving money away BECAUSE, im worried that if i help other pepole with my own money my life would be worse if i put myself first, Now if i was a billionaire i would buy my parants the best house best TV and any food they could want, I would also spoil my nephews, BUT i dont have that kind of money, I quite literally live paycheck to paycheck, So does that make me greedy? I feel like i should be stable and live comfortable before i help others do that

If you had to assemble furniture or build something yourself, how well could you do it?

I'm option B: I can fix simple stuff and have assembled things like office chairs, bookshelves, etc. But I couldn't do anything HVAC, plumbing, etc.

Well... HAVE YOU ever been a crow at a raven party before?
Or have you even ever been a raven at a crow party before?
