Mom issues
Posted Friday January 30 2009, 7:22 pm
So I used to have way more freeedom than any of my friends. I got a cellphone at 13, a car & a credit card at 16. Of course I met the "wrong" guy and did a lot of things behind my parents back and they found out. well now im 18 and they basically lock me up in the house. they bring me to school & to work and pick me up. they don't want me to speak to any of my friends or hang out with any of them. mainly because my Ex totalled my car and my parents are mad about that.
but anyways, since im 18 now I deff want to move out & I know its not that easy just to move out and survive by myself but honestly I rather live alone than have my mom up my back about everything I do.
So, ideas?

Law on parental visits.
Posted Wednesday January 28 2009, 12:13 pm
I have a young friend who is 13 years old.
She still has contact with both her Mother & Father, however the Mother has a personal grudge against the Father, and I know this because I have spoken to her, and have heard her personal opinions on him. Now this is normal I know..
BUT where the young child is concerned, she really wants to see her Father, and is missing him greatly, but the Mother is refusing permission to be visited or let the Daughter visit, for no apparent reason, however it is now effecting her schoolwork, she is typically rebelling against everyone and everything, and the more she is punished by the Mother, the more she rivals against her in the hope she will get to move houses and live with...

I am tired of paying my 19 year old stepsons bills!
Posted Tuesday January 27 2009, 3:52 pm
My husbands son lives with us. He is 19 years old. He had a job but got fired because he didnt go to work. He has been out of a job and hasnt even been looking for over 2 months now. When he DID have a job, he paid for his own cell phone bill and his car insurance. Now that he hasnt been working, my husband says that we have to pay for it until he gets another job. I am tired of paying over 100 dollars a month extra when we have a hard time paying our own bills the way it is. My husband and I have fought and fought over this issue. His son sleeps until noon or even later, comes and goes as he pleases, showers, eats, does his laundry, lays around and watches tv all day and does NOTHING at all to help around the house. I am at my wits end!! I...

My parents and I are constantly fighting. There saying now they are going to kick me out (I am 18 so they can). Right now there saying I'm just going to go stay a couple of days with my sister until things calm down. The issue is, I'm worried about my school work. My parents are telling me that they don't care. What do I tell the teachers if they ask why I was gone? Plus I have this huge project due and the teacher has already extended the deadline for me because I was out sick last week. I really don't know what to do... Please help?

Adoption (Personal experience)
Posted Friday January 23 2009, 6:36 pm
I was wondering if any one could tell me their experiences with adopting children (or if you are adopted). Do you feel like there is a "bond" missing? Do you wish they were blood? Things like that...And if you are adopted do you feel like you are missing your biological family? (especially kids who were adopted after like age 2 (so that they remember the process)?
Also, does anyone have any experience adopting kids from an abusive home??
Thanks so much!!

Ok so before I begin I know what they say...you made your bed now lay in it.
i met my boyfriend(?) 6 months ago and then like a few months after i started to give him my car so he could use it while i was @ work .. i know it was a bad idea but i liked the idea of seeing him. last night i got the worst phone call of my life.

i'm a teenage girl, and my family doesn't eat
Posted Sunday January 11 2009, 6:50 pm
i'm a normal teenage girl- who worries about her weight, as many do at my age (15). I live with my mom and older sister. My sister has been really stressed because of school, and my mom has been going through a lot of stuff and has been also really stressed. At meals, they will both eat very little, and i'm no genius, but in my situation i watch everything that i eat, and when i'm surrounded by a family that is eating a lot less it makes me feel awful if i'm still hungry and go and eat a bit more. or if i go into the kitchen to snack later, you get my drift? Oh, and my dad is on a diet. My mom is slim but she is very anti-diet and anti-teenagers worrying about weight, but it's making me feel bad. I don't want to talk to her about it, but sh...
