My family is going on vacation without me!?
I'm 15 and live with my Mom and go to my dads house every other weekend. My dad, stepmom, and half brother and sister are going on vacation to Florida. They say that since I've been to Florida before with my mom they weren't going to invite me because it would cost to much money. I don't think it's fair that I can't go on vacation with them just because I went with my mom once. Is it wrong to be jealous and mad at them for going without me. I feel like I'm not even part of their family.
When are you too old to go on vacation with your family?
Hey x Well i think its fine for a 15yr old to go on holiday with their parents. Your going to go away and have a great time and really there is no age when it becomes silly to still go on vacation with your family. I'm 24 and last year went on holiday with my mum, boyfriend and my little brother and we all have such a great time. You just have to let go and stop worrying about what other people will be thinking and anyway your on holiday so its not like you are going to speak to any of the people again so why does it matter what they think? Just let loose and feel free to be like a child again. I do, I still go on the swings at the playpark and do the little puzzels you get at the zoos. Its fun and its better to feel like you fit in and have fun with the kids than feel like a miserable adult. Would you rather people walk past you and think "Oh what a nice girl playing with her little brother/sister, she's so nice to look after them and take care and have fun with her family." OR "Oh look, another moody teenager in a strop. Typically. Every young adult is like that these days, when their older they will wish they was a child again." ? Imagine you didnt go and when they got back they was all tanned and could tell everyone what a great time they had and you would just be left in the background with nothing. Also since your only 15 depending on where you are from i dont think you would be allowed to stay home alone anyway technically and legaly that is. Here is just something to think about: Who is the biger idiot, the girl who goes and has a good time with her family or the girl who turns down a great holiday and sits at home complaining alone?
My fiance's rich family is taking him on vacation without me and I'm resentful. Any advice?
My fiance comes from a very wealthy family that travels frequently (always to luxurious locations). He is going on a trip with them for 3 weeks this summer on a cruise thru the Mediterranean and not bringing me along. I am feeling very resentful and jealous. I trust him completely and don't worry about him being unfaithful. My resentment comes from a few factors: my family doesn't have a lot of money and we couldn't ever do something like that, I work 60+ hours a week at a stressful job and won't have the time or money for a vacation until next summer, I have never been overseas and have always wanted to, and he has been able to travel to every part of the world all of his life (yet I have had NONE of those opportunities). I have always carried my own weight and paid my own way, yet he has everything (including this) just handed to him. I feel like if anyone deserves this chance, it should be ME. How can I deal with this and not let it eat away at me?
I took my friend’s child on vacation and her mom promised to pay me back(which she didn't). Should I continue the friendship with her or should I stop being her friend because she lied?
I would guess that would depend on the value you put on the friendship. Right now, it would appear that value is the price of the holiday. I would ask again being very specific about the amount, etc. If she has made promises and then ‘forgotten’ remind her of those. If she tries to put you off, get very specific in your requests/demands. Try to find out what has stopped her from paying you before. There may be stuff you are not aware of. If your child is going to continue to be friends with this other child in the future, let this be a warning.Somehow, the situations where a child from family A goes on vacation with family B always seems to have a glitch. My sister was invited to go somewhere with one of her friends. She was twelve or so. The other family seemed perfectly happy about this. It wasn’t going to cost the family any more in terms of gas or lodging; They were going to picnic on the way there and I remember mom making something for that. It was all cool. They were going to be gone about five days. My sister carried a little spending money with her. First night, she called home. She asked mother if she could send her some money. Mother was confused? What had happened to my sister’s spending money? Well, they had all picnicked on the way to their destination and that was good and they got checked into the hotel. Great. And then they went out to dinner. They went to what my sister described as a “nice restaurant.”And, as they were ordering, the Dad says, “She (my sister)’s on a separate check.” My sister used her spending money to pay for her dinner, but knew that she still had four more days to eat. My parents nor my sister nor the friend nor her parents had mentioned food in all the planning. In the end, my mother made some excuse to the father about forgetting to give my sister the money for food and if they could cover her until they got back, she would reimburse them which she did.
My Parents Keep Breaking Promises About Vacations?
So my problem is that my parents always break their promises when it comes to going places. I try to go easy on them because my parents already spend so much on providing for us, but i would rather have them say that we aren't going anywhere for vacation instead of them getting my siblings' and i's hopes up. Now here's the thing, I thought that we could vacation because we couldnt afford it financially, but then i remembered how my dad goes to Las Vegas with his buddies for 2 weeks every year. (Btw this breaking promises thing has been going on for about 7-8 years), So what do I do? Thanks.
My parents always lie to me!!?
Okay.. I'm like mad. I am 9 and a half. Okay my mom lies to me like 20 lies a day! I have an older sister shes 15, she always brags that she gets the attention. On Friday I asked my mom if we could go to the mall. Because I needed some new jeans and a coat. My mom said sure! So we were going to go on Saturday. But then my sister budged in and said Mom! I want to go to the park to watch the football practice! My mom brought us there, and we stayed for 2 hours. I asked my mom are we going to the mall? she said no we aren't. so I asked my mom since Sunday (today) is my birthday. I said mom can we go out to eat? she said why? i was like its my birthday she said well fine. I asked her you promise? and she said yes promise. Then my sister came down and said hey mom theres a party at this one seafood resturaunt. My mom said okay lets go there. I said but i hate seafood! we went. When we came back my mom told me to clean my room (i share with my sis) and my sister messes up the room and all her stuff is on the ground, i tell my mom but she acts like my sister is her perfect angel. Then my mom said lets go to the mall, the movies, and out to eat! I said okay! then my mom said oh not you your sister. Then they left. When they came back they had presents wrapped, i thought oh for me! then my mom called me to come out. I sat on the couch, my mom said HAPPY CHRISTMAS MANDY! (my sis) i got sad... i said what bout me? my mom said whatever just watch your sister. Then Mandy was bragging about everything. Okay my mom really hates me! I don't know why. and she likes Mandy the BEST I MEAN BEST BEST BEST!!!!!!!!!!! Also my sister goes to bed at 12 and she parties all night. I have to sleep at 6. and then when my mom sees me not sleeping i tell her but she don't listen and she grounds me! She only gives me soup for supper! i do not get it. i can only use the bathroom 2 times a day. im sick of this life i try to talk to them but they push me away!
My friend brags about vacations constantly and it's getting annoying.?
shut up because your not the only one that has travled before..........
Grammar: What preposition should we use for 'holiday'?
Prepositions are tricky because they are often idiomatic rather than logical. (e.g., Better living through chemistry. Why through?)Also, there are dialect differences in their use between US and UK speakers. (e.g., on High St. in the US: in High St. in the UK)Now add the fact that the word holiday has several distinct meanings -- and pronoun usage is not consistent across the various meanings.In the US, we substitute the word "vacation" for the meaning of holiday used in the question. This is a temporary time away from job or a trip away from home. I'll get back to this in a moment.By extension, holiday can also mean a temporary break in any routine or regimen. One might go on a "drug holiday" whereby a doctor has the patient stop taking a medicine to determine a baseline or to clear the system for a treatment change. A dieter could also say "I am taking a donut holiday this week." Note in this usage the article "a" is used.Further, religious feast days and national commemoration days are also holidays, such as Christmas or Labour Day. When describing these you would also use the article "a" (note that for Christmas/New Year's and for Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur combinations you would actually use a definite article in the plural. Will you see your parents for/on/during/over the holidays? Note the many preposition choices here!).So now back to the vacation/holiday from work or in Spain. Fortunately, although the noun varies between US and UK usage, the preposition is the same.When describing the person away from work, you say:Mary is on vacation/holiday (no article). This can be modified with time or place or other descriptors: Mary is on holiday from the office in Spain this week with Edward to visit family and get some needed rest.However the trip itself will often be given the article "a" -- especially if it is not referring to a specific person on a specific trip. While at work, Mary turns to Edward and says: Wouldn't a holiday in Spain be lovely? A romance begins!When the word holiday is used as an adjective, the article would also be used: We are taking a holiday trip.
