My mom wants to take me out of school.?
My mom wants to take me out of school. I'm 17 so it's legal for me to drop out, but I don't want to. Does anyone know if she needs my permission to take me out, or if she can do it against my will.
Why does my dad want to take me from my mom?
I don't expect you to answer any of these questions on line, but thinking about them might help you to work this one out, and maybe gain some control over your life.What does your mom say she thinks his reasons are?What does your dad say he thinks his reasons are?If there's any match between these first two, and it's not lies-to-children platitudes like “because he loves you” or “because he thinks that's what's best for you”, you could have your answer. And if it's either of these answers, you have an opening to express your own view. Digging deeper:Does your dad want to bring you up himself, or has he got a new girlfriend/wife who would be looking after you while he goes to work as usual? Is he a traditionalist sort of father who believes his children should be raised in his house by his wife?Am I reading too much into eleven words to think you don't want to go live with your dad?Do your parents have religious or cultural differences?Does he disagree with how she's raising you and think he could do a better job?Does he have more money, live in a better suburb, have access to a better school?Does your mom have a new boyfriend or husband that your dad doesn't like?Was there a lot of bad stuff going on between your parents before they split? Was either of them trying to hurt the other?Do you see your dad a lot now, or just occasionally? If there was any agreement before about how often you'd see him, is that agreement being kept?Was the split recent, or a long time ago? If it's a long time ago, what has changed recently to bring this on?I'm assuming from the fact you're on Quora that you're probably a teenager. Does your country/state give somebody your age any say in who you live with?Does either of your parents believe the other has abused you, or is likely to abuse you?So many parents think they can have a divorce and it won't affect the kids. That's one of the lies our culture tells itself so we won't feel too guilty. Family breakdown and custody battles like this are Hell for kids. You're the rope in a tug of war, and you see your parents, whom you would rather honour and respect, at their very worst.Good luck.
Parents always make me go to school sick?
I had parents (or rather, my mother) was EXACTLY the same as your mother. She made me go to school even when I was throwing my guts up, or had fever (which thankfully, was rare). She once told me: "The only way I would ever let you miss a day of school, was if both of your arms and legs were chopped off!" Yeah, she was a bit phsycho - but I (hope?) think she was joking when she said that. It turns out that in her school days, her parents had never cared whether she actually went to school or not. My mother was a notorious 'school skipper' back in her day - and hardly ever went to school. Because of her low attendance record, she almost failed school, and wasnt able to attend university (which hurt her deep down very much, as she is a very bright woman and could have made so much more out of her life). She spent most of her career as a receptionist - which can be a very boring and monotonous job at times. She did eventually finish school and graduate from university as a professor of English literature (believe it or not) in her early 50's. I presume your mother is trying to save you from ending up in a low paying job that you won't really like and will never get promoted from. It might not seem THAT important to you now, but when you've started work, you'll understand exactly why your mother kept pushing you to go to school. Remember, school only lasts for a few years - but you will spend most of your life in the work force. Is going to school sick for a few days of the year really that bad, compared to spending decades in a low-paying job, being barely able to support your future family and being unhappy? You need to ask youself that. I'm not saying that it is right, sending a child to school if they are truly sick, but your mother does have the best intentions for you at heart, I am sure. I would personally sit your mother down over a cup of nice hot cocoa or coffee one evening, and explain to her that you understand her motives for sending you to school when you are sick, and thank her for thinking so much about your future (even if you dont really mean it at the time). After praising her, tell her how you feel, and what plans you may have to catch up on the homework and information you missed during your day off from school while you were sick. Good luck!

Why wont my mom let me get a drivers license?
Well I hate to tell you this but your mom is the problem, not you. For reasons of her own, she is clearly very upset and rather than deal with it rationally like an adult, and let you experience what should be part of growing up, she has decided to be a nurotic b itch (sorry no other way to say it) I suggest you look at this as your mom is sick. I have been through similar behaivior for years with my mother. you are going to be 18 soon IM guessing and you will be able to make decisions on your own. your mom is still angry at your father and punishing you for this is truely sad. I hope you choose to be the adult and act reasonable and try to understand that your mom is lost and cannot control you like she used too. DAD giving you a car, a drivers license, you leaving home and being independent, for what ever reason, mom is not accepting reality, I do not know what your plans are when you turn 18 but I dont think that living there and driving, and the car dad gave you is going to help Some people for thier own reasons cannot let go of control issues, dont let this alinate you from your mom, I know you did not agree with her decisions about your driving, and she may not allow you to get the license, and drive the car dad got you while living under her roof. I wish you the best and there is nothing left to say except do not take it personal, and be angry with mom do what you need to do for you.
How can I tell my mom I didn't go to school today without her yelling at me?
Well, if it is true that your mom hits you, I would start by talking to a school counselor and tell them that you are afraid to tell your mom that you missed your bus because she ends up hitting you when you tell her anything like that. Let them take it from there. Your mom doesn't have a right to scream at you and hit you. It's not appropriate human behavior, even if she is mad. FWIW, I wouldn't want to walk 6 miles either, but I wouldn't just not go to school, I would find someone in the morning, who could help get me there, even if I were going to be late. In the final analysis, you may do things wrong, but you don't deserve to be screamed and hit if that is what is actually happening. It may, in fact, be the reason why you make some of the choices and mistakes you make. You're 15. You have a lot to learn. That's your job. Talk to an adult who treats the situation, appropriately, like an adult. Yelling and screaming and slapping is not helping you learn from your mistakes.
What do I do when my dad gets mad and makes my mom cry?
You’ve received some good answers, but I’d like to make a point that I haven’t seen others make.This is what I lived with growing up, so, I know how this feels. The most important thing for you to know here is that none of this is your fault. You did not create any of the problems between your parents, and you can’t solve any of the problems between your parents.I’m sorry that you have to see this and live this. It’s not healthy for you, but there may not be much you can do about it. Definitely talk to another trusted adult if you have one. Definitely be compassionate with your mom.But never feel like this is your problem to solve. It’s not. The best thing you can do for yourself is be as independent as possible as soon as you can. That means working hard in school, getting good grades, and continuing on to secure some kind of profession, so you can support yourself and not be staying home taking care of your mom permanently.Definitely help her if you want to, but live your life. Your life does not have to be defined by this. My advice is to spend as little time at home as possible. I don’t mean wasting time or doing drugs. I mean if you’re old enough get a part-time job. If you have friends with nice parents, hang out with them as much as you can to see what a healthy family looks like and how it functions. Go to the library and read books. Keep yourself busy when you’re at home.So, to answer your question, when your dad does or says stuff that makes your mom cry, stay out of it. Go in another room. It’s not your business, and in a healthier household you wouldn’t see this on a regular basis. Your job is to be a kid, have friends, and go to school. Play sports if possible.And get out of the house as soon as reasonably possible.
What should I do if I missed the bus and my mom won't take me in?
I had this problem with my first grade daughter. She kept missing the bus for no good reason. I told her if she missed again and I had to drive her she had to pay me $1 up front to cover the cost of my gas. She had very little money and she hoarded it like Scrooge. She is good for a few days and gets on the bus but of course one day she says “Dad I missed the bus and you have to drive me”. I said she would have to pay me that dollar up front before I would take her. She loved school and was highly motivated to go but was outraged that I would charge her $1.She reluctantly paid but she said I would be in “big trouble when Mom got home!”. At the end of the day she gets off the bus and she is still steaming mad at me for this great injustice. Now remember she is only about 6 years old but she is an only child and in her little mind she thinks she is the boss and equal to any adult because we typically reasoned with her instead of falling back on the old “because I said so”.She demands her dollar back. I say no. That dollar is gone but I tell her she can earn a dollar back if she does something nice for her Mom like emptying the dishwasher. “Fine”. She storms off and empties the dishwasher and comes to me for payment. I reach into my wallet to hand her a buck and she says, “No Dad, I want the same dollar I gave you!”. I went back into my wallet and pretended I knew which dollar it was and I gave it to her.She never missed the bus again and last weekend that strong willed bossy little girl graduated from the University of Michigan with honors.
Why does my dad always find a way to get mad at me for something and pick fights?
May be, he as well as you, both are Alpha personalities. So he likes his demands to be put into effect while you like yours.As of now I don't know your age. If you are someone who is of school age, my suggestion is to listen to his advice. He has lot more of worldly experience than you. But he would have grown up in 60s, 70s or 80s. So listen to his advice, progress it fast forward to 2018 and do it according to today's values.Listen to him and his suggestions if you are an adult. If he is a strong personality as he seems, if you listen and put in practice his advice you will also develop into a very strong independent woman. The world very much needs a lot of women voices as well.Always try to look at what he is saying than being dragged into emotional fights. Once he feels you are listening to what he says and values it, the fights will reduce and you will find a great mentor in your dad and your relationship with him will grow closer.See the wisdom behind his words and embrace it fully.All the very best!
