i'm going to be 19 soon and so far i've had a lot of life experience, but about 10 years ago my parents got divorced which i understand happens my dad was an alcoholic and my mother didn't think that i was a good environment for me and my brothers to be raised in. for about two years me and my brothers would spend every other weekend with him, but once i started middle school and started hanging out with a lot of friends i didn't go see him as much because i'd be busy...on my 14th birthday i waited all day for him to call me, i checked the mail everyday for a week for a card and i got nothing. it really bummed me out, i asked my mom when the next time i'd get to go to his house to see him and after she called him to find out when we would g...

Parents and Dating... :(
Posted Friday May 26 2006, 9:07 pm
Hey,
Ok so here is my story. So I talked to my mom about this guy I liked at school and if it would be ok for us to date. My mom said she would talk to my dad and she told me he seemed ok with it. So then the next weekend I asked my mom about me going to a movie with this guy and some friends(like a group date) and she talked to my dad and she said he said"I dont know i'll be more inclined to let her do this when she is 15" My mom said we should all sit down and have a talk. Well since then i havent brought it up again. So I need to know what to say to my dad when I ask him. Thanks -marsbars

relationship with sister
Posted Tuesday May 23 2006, 9:05 pm
I have a twin sister, and I am always helping her with school. I like helping her because she tries really hard. But I get very impatient when I am waiting for her to answer a certain question for a long time and I yell at her. I feel bad and I always tell myself I wont do it again but I do. What can I do ??
p.s. sometimes she gets an attitude when I explain something wrong and that gets me angry too because she acts like she is always right and I dont know how to handle this

Bummed
Posted Monday May 22 2006, 9:21 pm
My mom's college reunion is coming up and I can't make it. This really nice, funny, and may i mention CUTE boy is gunna be there that I have known since i was a tiny baby. I have quite a large crush on him, but we see eachother like 2-3 times a year. I can't go to the reunion because of a really busy schedule. I really want to maintain the friendship with this boy but how can I get my mom motivated to invite his family over when she HATES having people over? They live like an hour and a half to two hours away. My mom thinks its too far for them to drive.

So, I work as a receptionist for a car dealership. Last week my own aunt, who's also my boss fired me. We havent been selling that many cars latley so she was already annoyed...but she saw me online and she was like "What are you doing?". I told her I was just playing around and she got mad at me. She said I had work to do, but I didn't...I checked everything and there was nothing to do. When I tried to explain that there was nothing else to do, she said I "was talking back". So she told my mom that she doesn't want me working anymore...so I cried. I just got fired from my first job! I get $8 a hour (Minimum here is 6.75), it's great pay and I barley do anything so the job is great. So she's my aunt, ...

Connecting with an 8 year old
Posted Monday May 22 2006, 10:37 am
I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on activities to do with my 8 year old daughter this summer. All she seems interested in is watching TV or playing with her cousin, who is 10. We read together at night but usually she falls asleep right away. I've tried to get her interested in cooking, but I'm not much of a cook myself. Can anyone give me some ideas?

Is he abusing or am I accusing?
Posted Monday May 22 2006, 9:18 am
Well here is my problem.
I'm eighteen years old. I have a really awesome boyfriend. Prior to our relationship we were best friends so everything is sort of honkey dorey there.
We'll call him "Todd" Well, Todd recently moved out of his parents house.
He got a job at a factory and a car dealership. Aside from the fact that he has no time to spend with me now, he has no car because he can't afford one at the moment.
Now I have no problem helping him out, and neither does my family.
Then Todd started carpooling with my sister to work (they work at the same place).
Now really I have no problem with that either. But now, he comes over to my house, opens ...

I have a wonderful grandmother. She is the most kind, wise person I have ever met. She has 4 children, one of which is my father. Another one is named Tary. She is unemployed. She was married and had 3 kids (2 twins and a girl). Anyways, when her husband died, Tary had nowhere to live because she and her husband did nothing. So, my grandmother offered her to live with her. Not a good idea. They completely take advantage of her and I feel so sad for her. She's a pushover, and her back has been bad for years =(. I've told my cousins (Tary's children) how lucky they are to live in my grandmother's house, and they simply said, "It isn't her house. It's our house too." Tary doesn't pay my grandmother anything for food, bills, or gas....

My mother's 3rd divorice
Posted Sunday May 21 2006, 8:40 pm
So my mom is getting a divorce from my step dad and the thing is that this is her 3rd divorce!
A part of me is happy because I can't stand my step dad but then again, it's just really embarrassing to know that my mother has been married 3 times and they have all failed.
I just don't know how I'm going to be able to handle it when she gets married a 4th time. And I know she will because I know her. It's coming down to people thinking she's a gold digger and I just don't know what to think anymore. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Bad Mother?
Posted Saturday May 20 2006, 9:17 pm
I went to a party the other night for Ash's birthday, with a bunch of our friends. Her mom took us all to the movie, while she said she'd be shopping. After the movie was over, she didn't answer any of her phones and we couldn't get ahold of her for an hour. It was 11 at night, in a bad bad part of town, 7 young girls, all alone. When Ash finally did get ahold of her mom, her mom cussed at her, and told her it was all her fault. She was on speaker so we heard every foul word of it. Her mom blamed us being left there for an hour alone on Ash, even though the mom decided to see a movie longer then ours and did not tell us.
Ash cried in the car ride back to her house, and her mom kept cussing at her, and blamming her. She yelle...
