Issues with father.


Question Posted Wednesday January 19 2011, 6:49 pm

Due to my own lack of trying, I was dismissed from college before I could begin my second semester. I failed four classes and boy was my father was upset, and with good reason too, of course.

He told me to find a new job or else I'd have no car, no phone, or Internet, all essential things for me, or I could join the guards and retain that. Not an option for me. So I found a new job, and I now hold down two.

But then, today, he said that if I don't work full time, which is impossible with two jobs, that I will be walking to work, which is also impossible as both places are miles away, and it is Winter.

How do I handle my dad and fix all of this?

I would talk to him..tell him that you deserve a second chance. Tell him that your 2 jobs aren't flexible enough to work full time.Tell him that maybe you'll try to apply for college again, and work extremely hard to not fail classes. You could even go to a community college for 2 years, like a practice run for a real college. If this doesnt work tell him you want him to still love you, despite you faling your classes. I hope this helps! Good Luck!rate me if youd like!:)

You need to make your father realize your doing the best you can with what's being asked of you and you can't make miracles happen your doing what's expected of you with the expection of you working full time explain to him you made mistakes and your only human and you learned from them and by him taking away your car he's jeopardizing you being late to work seeing as you'd have to walk and both of the places are miles away also him taking away your phone you wouldn't be able to contact him if a emergency were to happen and you weren't near a payphone or any other phone that goes for the other things you need them there's something's you can do and something's you can't and you working full time while having two jobs is something that you can't your dad has to accept and realize that out of the things he's wanting you to do you've done one out of the two things he's asking of you and you working full time while having two jobs is just something you aren't able to do :)

Sounds like you need to find a full time job & give up the part times. See if one or the other will hire you full time. If not, look for a place that will. I know, hard to do but not impossible. Let dad know you are doing this and keep him updated.

I know it isn't what you want to do. BUT, you are looking at losing a lot if you don't.

Good luck.

you need to sit down and talk with him and let him know that it isn't fair he's making you walk because you can't work full time at both jobs. tell him it's not possible and i am sorry but i can't do what you want. the fact that he took your things away because you failed your classes is legitimate. you need to try harder. but talk with him and see if you can go back to school so maybe you won't have to work at both jobs or just 1. i hope i helped.
