I have an uncle who disappears for years, even whole decades. I didn't even know he existed growing up and learned about him when I was first married. My husband helped me track him down and we had him over. We had a lovely visit and enjoyed his company (and I think he enjoyed ours). When he left, he didn't go back to where we had found him and it's now just shy of thirty years since I've heard anything of him.

My family, surprisingly, managed that until I was maybe half-way through elementary. Then we were all sort of on the same schedule. Eventually we all had our own morning routine and looking back, I can’t believe we ever pulled it off, because if we tried to do it now, we’d fail miserably.

It was a rotation of who wasn't in the bathroom or sleeping still. Microwave quick oats with brown sugar and milk for everyone.
Boundaries make any relationship, whether familial, platonic, romantic, or professional better. It’s true! When everyone’s on the same page, embraces transparency, and is open to clear communication, there are fewer misunderstandings. And the ones that do occur (some are inevitable) quickly get solved because both people are open to voicing their feelings and looking for compromises.
That being said, it’s often hard to set and enforce boundaries with your relatives because they’re, well, family! If you don’t have experience doing this, you might end up feeling slightly guilty saying ‘no’ or calling out bad behavior.

Licensed marriage and family therapist Laurie Carmichael told Time magazine that you need to articulate your boundaries to others, once you’ve figured them out for yourself. You can try to set a clear chain of consequences.
For instance, you could tell your parents that if they comment on your clothes again that you’ll excuse yourself from the dinner table. Similarly, you can make it crystal clear that if your parents make negative comments about your partner, both of you won’t be coming over for dinner again.

Yikes, my family does believe in mental health, but when I was 16, (im 17 almost 18 now) my family didn't really know how bad I was suffering from depression and anxiety, and they kept denying how i had depression until one time when they got a call from someone and told them about my 'habits' -self-harm. They acted like it was a new thing, even though I had plenty of signs.

Meanwhile, the Taylor Counseling Group urges people to put their personal needs first. Especially ahead of difficult family members. “People who deal with difficult family members frequently find that they’re ignoring their personal needs in favor of their family’s.
Whether you have to eat or sleep or just need some time to yourself, you must put those necessities first before addressing the needs of others. Remember, you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of other people.”

The ‘Me IRL’ online community has grown absolutely massive over the years. Currently, they have around 7.6 million members. Many of them are active content creators who reshare hilarious images they find online. Some of them even take the time to craft their own original memes, too!
The true sign that you’ve got a successful meme on your hands is that it goes viral. The more relatable the topic and idea are, the more they resonate with your target audience. That relatability makes folks want to share it with their family, friends, colleagues, and followers.

However, there’s a strong element of luck involved in meme-making. To put it simply, you can’t ever be sure that your meme will entertain others as much as you expect. So, it’s best not to worry about views, clicks, likes, and comments. Instead, focus on two things: consistency and quality.
In other words, post your internet memes consistently. Stick to your schedule, whatever it is, no matter what.

My parents have made my life somewhat stressful in the way that they have complained about each and every job I've had for the last 3 years lol. I used to work at Culver's, I worked for almost a year *I was 14 at the time*, and then I quit. I worked at Subway for about...3-4 months until I was wrongly accused of some things I didn't do and was fired w/o notice. I've had a few other jobs since then, and I'm almost 18. But every single job I've had, I've only had for a few months before my parents started complaining that I "wasn't getting hours, I wasn't speaking up for myself, etc" and I've had to quit them. I'm now working at a fast food shop and looking for another. I cannot seen to satisfy my parents- or at least my mother. TL;DR I have had several jobs since I was 14 and I'm looking for another job, again-at almost 18, and I can't seem to satisfy my parents bc they complain about every job

The day of, they handed him the keys and he was so excited and thrilled. The next day, they gave him his payment plan for the car. I thought that was pretty crappy, but, she got her bow moment. Yay.
At the same time, polish up your memes so they stand out from the crowd. Try to use higher-quality images. Meanwhile, make sure that your captions are short, punchy, witty, and written in a readable font. You don’t want to lose your audience, which likely has a short attention span, because your meme takes too much effort to ‘get.’

The moderators ask the members of their community to keep a few key rules in mind. For example, this isn’t the place to post edgy memes. There are other subreddits for this. Meanwhile, the content on r/me_irl has to be safe for work and suitable for most internet users.
What’s more, every member is expected to treat everyone else with respect. The community is expected to avoid posting generic memes and instead share images that are “a selfie of your soul.”

My brother taught me the finger trick for 9s. Palms flat on the table, count fingers to the multiplier, lower that finger, fingers left make up the answer. (For example, 9x3, third finger from left, 2 fingers on one side, 7 fingers on the other side to make 27)

My dad would invent math problems in his head (that he, of course, took the time to think through first) and then rapid fire them at me while we were shopping and then almost immediately scream at me in front of random people that I was taking too long to answer and should have solved it already.

Adolescence for me: Dad and I agreed that the teacher didn’t know how to teach math well. She also wouldn’t accept any other methods of arriving at the correct answer besides her own on any given homework assignment or other work. She would also knock off points or give zeros to any students who found any other way of arriving at the correct answer and could prove we did the math correctly. Dad knew this and he still yelled at me for doing the homework my class received as instructed. I do *not* miss that part of my childhood!

Growing up, I thought my parents were working hard to support me, so I had to forgive the neglect and abuse. Then I became an adult and realized they were too proud to ask for help or rely on anyone.

Some parents go overboard of course, but it is also the sad reality that some online friends are pedophiles who are posing as teens, and teens can be very naive.

Teens sometimes just don't realize that anyone could steal some random teen's pictures and send those to you, and it is the parent's job to keep you safe.

I don't know why you were downvoted. I firmly believe that, while blood makes a biological relative, it doesn't always mean family. But love ALWAYS does. Life is too short to let people continue to hurt you. Especially the people who are supposed to live you most. Sometimes you have to cut off even biological relatives. But the people who love you, care about you, are always there for you, and vice versa, THAT'S family. It's why the phrases "brother from another mother" and "sister from another mister", etc. exist.
