Question Posted Thursday November 25 2004, 2:09 pm
i went shoppin with my friend the other day and we kept running into my dad there and everytime my dad would ask me a question shed answer for me. well a little later my dad got rly annoyed and raised his voice at her and told her off for doing that. i got a little pissed because he had a point but i didnt like the way he was talking to her. so i told him to not yell at her because shes not his kid and he took her home just because i said that. then later he told me how my friend is a liar and she bossed me around and she takes advantage of me and all this shit. i kind of agreed with him on some parts but some of the other things she said was totally out of line. now i dont know what to beleive because my dad got me all confused. is it fair what he said and am i being bossed around? ill rate high because this is so long. thnx
Additional info, added Thursday November 25 2004, 3:27 pm: btw my dad also thinks that my friend will ditch me because hes being mean to her which isnt true at all.

Maybe u shud take what ur dad said into consideration and talk to ur friend about what u think!
BBaLLBaBii911 answered Friday November 26 2004, 1:44 pm: well, wut ur dad did is wrong. it depends what u think being bossed around is. but don't let ur friend anwser questions for u you can talk by urself. If she tells u wut to do all the time then yes she is bossing u around! but all i can say is u pick ur friends, not ur dad [ BBaLLBaBii911's advice column | Ask BBaLLBaBii911 A Question ]
Striker6909 answered Friday November 26 2004, 10:48 am: Well, it all depends on you... if you believe that your friend is taking advantage of you for whatever then talk to her about it and tell her... and your dad was doing what any father should do especially for their daughter... because he is your father listen to what he has to say and maybe he is right... but you have to go on your own gut feeling on this one [ Striker6909's advice column | Ask Striker6909 A Question ]

Vanilla13ean420 answered Thursday November 25 2004, 9:14 pm: hun thats hard, i think your dad is munipualting you, putting things into your head, think about your friendship with her and all the things shes helped you through and base it on how you feel, stop listening to your dad because your dad cant think for you. and hopefully all goes well, im sorry if i didnt help, good luck though!
love unity

x3_Sara_x3 answered Thursday November 25 2004, 6:44 pm: Maybe she was just trying to help you! Some people are out going around anyone (even your parents) So manybe she does not really realize whats shes doing and how it might bother you! If you dont like it sit her down and tell her how you feel and that u think she might be a lil to load around your parents (Like anwsering ur ?'s) Let her know what ur dad says so that she nos what it looks like shes doing and hopfully everything works out for you hunnii!

cutebrunette answered Thursday November 25 2004, 6:43 pm: I think you should talk to your friend. Just say "look, i really dont like when you boos me around and anwser my own questions and stuff like that." just tell her how your feeling. She will understand. And tell your Dad that you talked to your friend about it and there is no need to yell or talk to her anymore.
kissezodeth answered Thursday November 25 2004, 5:14 pm: well your friend was just trying to help but if you didn't want her to answer his questions for you then you should have said soemthing right away instead of having her keep doing it and having her end up getting in trouble. and maybe you should tell your dad that she was only trying to help and talk it out respectfully with him and maybe have her apologize to him. also if your dad is being mean to her still then there is a chance that she might get frightened and won't want to do much with you anymore.

PurplePensRawkMe answered Thursday November 25 2004, 4:21 pm: I agree with ur dad on some things but he has no right yelling at her. I have a friend kinda like that. But she just bosses me around and gets me in trouble. If I were u, I wouldn't be her friend anymore and I would tell my dad he was wrong for yelling at her b ut u shoul forgive him. Hope it all goes well!Ash> [ PurplePensRawkMe's advice column | Ask PurplePensRawkMe A Question ]

Mandee answered Thursday November 25 2004, 2:54 pm: I don't know how your friend acts towards you, so it's hard for me to say if you are being bossed around. I think that you'll be able to find the truth. You can tell if someone is bossing you around because they will act like they know everything, and they won't really care what you say. Normally they'll have you doing things for them, and they'll tell you what to do, where to go, etc. If she takes advantage of you, she'll use you. She might use you because you might have something she likes, or maybe when shes bored that's the only time she'll ask you to do something with her. Now you dad had the right to say what he thinks about her, but I agree with you, yelling at her is way too much. You should talk to you dad and ask what are some of the things that she does to make him feel the way he feels. You'll know the answer, it just may take a couple days. Answering for you could be a sign that she is a little bossy. Anyways I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving! Love ya!
Love,
