Teens Forced To Be Parents For 1, 3 And 4YO Siblings, Refuse To Reconnect As Adults

I was 9 and my older sister was 12 when my brother was born; 4 years later, my sister was born. We older ones definitely lost our childhoods, and ended being caretakers. My older sister even married at 16 just to get out of the house; I, unfortunately, was left to deal with crazy, divorcing parents and babysitting the kids. I finally had some freedom when I started a part-time job and got a boyfriend at 15, but my mom still expected a lot from me. Once she told me she was going to Mexico with a man (my father had killed himself; she had left me behind with him when she moved out with the kids), and demanded I stay with them all weekend. I refused, but she still went thinking I would be guilted into staying. Well, I wasn't even home when she left because I was staying at my boyfriend's - she had to call a neighbor to look in them. And she had the nerve to be mad at me! Anyway, a year later she had a pretend marriage, and I was living on my own at 17.

50 Memes For People Over 30 That Are Funny Because They Are True (New Pics)

This was me on a vacation to Greece - an Aussie man on a tour and I had a blast together for 3 weeks. He'd do thing like buy me baklava the first day and make sure I had a cup of coffee even though I slept through breakfast once. He'd sit beside me on the ferries, buses, and in restaurants with the two of us just talking away - one on a bus, he leaned over me to point out the window at a small chapel and said, "Someday I'm going to marry you in a church like that." I laughed because he was always being funny. Anyway, at the end in Istanbul, we exchanged info, hugs, and good-byes. I flew home to the States. A week later, back in Australia, he called and asked if he could stop by and see me on his to England. I said, "Sure." Turns out he had a three day stop-over in Singapore and couldn't stop thinking about me, so started looking at flights through my city to London. Well, he essentially never left except for the legality of things. We just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary!

Just wait until your 'dream' job that you've studied for 6 years turns out to be a nightmare, as does your high-school sweetheart husband, and your children (that you sacrificed for) hate you.

Yes, I truly find it impossible to lie. I will always try not to hurt anyone feelings, but it feels physically painful to lie or be mean to people. My extroverted and sarcastic husband doesn't understand me at all.

I gave up talking to almost everyone long ago - now I just text my best friend and she always gets back to me right away.

“No One Even Comes To My House”: 50 Oldschool Home Trends Millennials Are Absolutely Over

I, also, found a lot of these comments to be from disgustingly apathetic and lazy people. Yuck. I would hate to visit most of these places I hesitate to call "homes." I bet they also care for their bodies just as much.

“No One Even Comes To My House”: 50 Oldschool Home Trends Millennials Are Absolutely Over

I didn't like a lot of these statements - they sounded sounded apathetic and negative. They also sounded disgusting and filthy. I wouldn't want to visit most of these places - I wouldn't even call them "homes."

I enjoy taking care of my home, always have, just as I enjoy taking care of my dog, family, and friends. It's important to me as a source of comfort.

I have a need to see beautiful things, so I like changing out my accessories seasonally. I love forward to seeing my seashells, pumpkins, pinecones, and bunnies - they make me smile every time I walk into a room (primarily the entry, the living room/kitchen/dining area, and my bedroom). They are all well-made, quality items and not chintzy or corny.

We had lots of landscaping done for our new house 3 years ago - big mistake! Now we're taking up a lot and putting down weed cloth, so now everything's simple with less to maintain.

Yes, this has gone away with the concept of open-plan design though, sometimes, it would be nice to have a separate 'party' space.

My husband sleeps on TOP of the covers, and I only pull back the top to slide under - it's effortless to make the bed - if I want!

NO to carpet - my husband and I thought we'd 'save' by using carpet in the two guest bedrooms in our new house. Mistake, because he chose white carpet, and one of the rooms is his home office, and now the carpet is dirty with coffee dribblings! I told him, "Choose the taupe carpet!" See, it would match with his dribbles. But, really, we should have continues with the LV because it's been effortless.
