My fam is taking sides

Fiancé Fiasco
 

My 18-year-old sister just got engaged, and everyone in my family hates her fiancé. I dislike him, but not as much as everyone else does. The problem is that my mom wants me to side with her, and my sister wants me to take her side.

 

Dear Fiancé Fiasco,
 

Why choose sides? Why not be a peacekeeper?

 

Then again, you sister is very young to be engaged, so if you two get along, talk to her privately. Ask in a nonjudgmental way why she is in such a rush. Or say “I like his sense of humor, but Mom and Dad care about you and they’re worried because he has no job.” Or whatever the issue is.

 

You owe it to your sister to weigh in lovingly.

Mod- I think I'm getting a cold sore. My mom says she is going to get stuff next time she goes out to the store, but she takes forever to go out...so I put Vaseline on my lips. what should I do?




Hey girlie, putting Vaseline on your cold sore is the best you can do until you get something else for cold sores. It will help protect it and help it heal faster.

Thank you for reading this Smile So my new year has started off not the greatest. Just today I told my parents I wasn't going to be doing softball this year, and that spiraled into a huge controversy. So now according to my deductions, my Dad's opinion of me is that I'm not a well rounded person, and that I can't make my decisions on what I want to do for myself. The thing is, I'm in high school, an I'm tired of being told what I should and shouldn't want to do. My Dad isn't appreciative of my good qualities: I'm a straight A student, I have a lot of good friends, and things like that. And then on the other hand, my Mom doesn't want to give me advice anymore, she always acts like she doesn't love my Dad, which is hard to deal with. My little sister though, is the best person in the house, according to them. She's an amazing guitar player, she could easily be a model, she's a better student, she runs crosscountry, and my family just loves her. What should I do?




hey! your family loves you for being you and not like anyone else. It may seem like that's not true when they're pressuring you but it is. You have to communicate your feelings to your family. that's the only way to feel better. good luck! 
Helen S.
