My parents forcing me to go on a family vacation?
okay first off do not even try to call me spoiled because i didn't come here to get lectures about how you would love to go in my place. well basically, in 2 days our family is going to montenegro with my dad's coworker and his wife. i am 14 years old and my parents do not understand that i don't find it interesting to hang out with 40 year old people (my brother and i don't get along anyways). and we're going with our camper. i used to love fam vacations because we went to all these cool places but i guess i've changed now and i don't want to go. if i go, it means 1 week without privacy, showering, wifi and we'll fight all the time. i also have 8 exams in may and i can't study in our camper. my mom is just making fun of me when i beg her not to go. me and my family fight more and more and if we're going to spend 1 week in a super small camper, i'm going to go insane. pls help as fast as possible
My parents are making me go on vacation with them for 3 weeks and won't let my boyfriend stay in a hotel?
Your parents are being protective, not over-protective. And that's smart. An 18 year old with his own hotel room? You'll be in that room in 5 minutes and they know it. Your father knows how 18 year old guys are. He used to be one. They are probably afraid you will get pregnant. A three week separation might be good for you two. Absence makes the heart grow fonder you know. Maybe your parents just want the four of you to have one more family vacation before you're grown up. Give them a break. They love you. And of course they don't want you at home staying with a friend for the same reason as stated above. Bring some books to read and make the best of it.
Is it bad that I don't want to go on vacation with my parents?
I think a lot of teenagers could have written this question. It’s completely normal as a teenager to start having second thoughts about going on family vacations, or feel like they’re less fun than they used to be (assuming your family is well off enough to go on regular family vacations). It’s a completely normal part of becoming an independent adult.That said, I’m assuming the vacation is only a week or so? It will probably have very little impact on your SAT/ACT studying. Try talking to your parents and seeing if you could do something a little different this year, maybe take a surfing or snorkeling lesson. If cost is an issue, perhaps there’s some nature trails nearby that you could explore. Do a little research on TripAdvisor.It may seem monotonous to you, but going to the same place and same hotel means your parents don’t have to do a lot of research. They just want to get away and relax. As an emerging young adult, you have your own goals (like studying), and are probably itching to seek out new and interesting experiences.My advice would be to go, and try to make the most of it. A boring vacation is still a vacation, and you only get so many family vacations with your parents.
Why do my parents not take me on vacation?
Your parents are making me very sad. First, to leave a 14 year old home alone for two weeks is skirting the edges of legality, unless you’ve left out details of arrangements they’ve made for your care and guardianship.Are they going during the school year? It’s possible they go in the off-season to these places because it’s cheaper then, and they don’t want you to miss school. You didn’t say when they’ve traveled.You may not feel any financial problems because they’re careful with their money, or have saved for these trips in a vacation fund, or they don’t tell you all the facts.If none of this is true, it makes me sad because a 14 year old child is the perfect traveling companion. They are full of the wonder and excitement of the world still, and want to see the places they’ve read about, or have seen on television.They are not so young they cannot be left alone in a hotel room while Mom and Dad go out to dinner and dancing in Paris. They are not so young they can’t help carry bags, make travel and sightseeing arrangements, be sent on errands downstairs, or let go alone on their own little adventures in a foreign city, depending, of course on the city.They are not so young they haven’t learned their manners and how to bring approbation on American children. They are not so old they may sneer at foreign customs, or misbehave and bring disapprobation down on American children.They are not so young they won’t remember the trip and the wonderful times they had traveling with their parents. But they are old enough to be grown in just a few short years when to travel with Mom and Dad might be a fate worse than death and they feel they’ve hit bottom.As long as it’s one or two trips, and your grades are good, there is nothing quite as educational as travel, and missing school might be arranged, or they could take a trip during Christmas or summer vacation with you.Talk to them about this. They and you, are missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime, and it’s making me sad. Don’t make me sad.
How do I convince my parents to go on vacation to Europe?
I posted another question regarding this yesterday (look at this question before answering this one): https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20180730012002AAlJomA As you can see, I've been having a hard time convincing my parents to go on vacation to Europe. People in my last question were saying that I was a spoiled brat and that I was unwilling to pay for my trip, that is 100 percent incorrect. My parents and I all have plenty of money saved up and can definitely afford this. I'm not making them pay for all of it, I'll do it (and even if I couldn't pay for all of it, they could help pay some of the cost). Basically, not having enough money isn't the problem, I just can't convince them to start help putting the trip together (flights/hotels/schedules). I repeat: I'm not depending on them to do everything for me, I want them to HELP ME bring my dream to reality. I don't get why they are so unmotivated. All of us have plenty of money saved up and could definitely afford to do this. Our schedules will also be very light in October (I'll be on a long school break that month, my parents can get vacation time off work, and this is the time I want to go), plus airline tickets will be very cheap around that time (as long as we book as soon as possible). I'm very frustrated as I've been wanting to do this for over 10 years now, and I believe I've met all the requirements to do this (we have the money and passports, just not the motivation from my parents). What do I do now?
Parents not letting me go w/ boyfriend on vacation?
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I posted this before!! I just forgot to add ....I have all the money myself, have figured out own form of transportation, literally everyting is taken care of. I dont need anything from them except their permission!! Also, of course, his parents WILL be there to "keep an eye on us" and ive already guaranteed my parents that my boyfriend and I wont go anywhere without his parents with us. (His parents are amazing, and super nice, and they believe we should get some time to experience life.) And theres even a way i can get a job there, from my bf's dad! So id even be making money on the trip (unlike what im doin here.) --------------------------------------... Me and my boyfriend will both me 19 next month, we're both in university (2nd year), are living together in my parents house, and have been dating for 2.5 years. His parents want him to come back to his home country (brazil) for his 19th birthday. we live in Eastern Canada. I am a B+ and A student in university, and responsible. My parents let me go with him to Brazil when we were only dating 5 months when we were 16, but since then they simply dont trust me. (My mom is bipolar and they are having marital problems, and i am only hurting their relationship by being here.) I would like to go, because I'd like to spend his birthday with him, and i am very unlucky this summer getting a job (ive had one since I was 16 before this! and i had one in university, but the job ended when April (end of term) came. Jobs are scarce because of the recession.) My parents have always been rather harsh with me. Strict, and such. Is there a way i can convince them to let me go? Or would it be acceptable to just tell them I'm going without their permission? (So far, I have not been able to get them to approve.)
How to convince strict parents to let me go on a vacation with boyfriend and his family.?
Well you are 21 years old.....why would you need his permission? If you will have your own room while in Cali, then why is it a problem to just tell your parents your plans to go? It's nice that you respect them enough to value their opinion, but you have to make your own decisions otherwise you will never learn to navigate life on your own. You say that your parents are very traditional and I'm assuming that you are too or you wouldn't have to ask their permission. However, you can still honor your beliefs and make your own decisions. If you feel comfortable going on vacation with your boyfriend and his family, then you should.
My parents are making me go to summer camp. I told them for 15th time that I don’t want to go. They are still not paying attention to my opinion. What should I do?
I would ask them why it’s so important to them. Usually, parents have some reason for wanting this, even it it makes no sense to you. For example, my sister loved sending her three kids to camp because it meant freedom to her. She said that she really didn’t enjoy having them around much! Hopefully, your parents have different reasons, such as:Experiencing the outdoors.Socializing with other kidsGetting physically fitHaving the idea that is is just what parents do for (or to) kids in summer.Once you find out why they want this, try to develop an argument against your going. You could cite friendships near where you live, bad experiences in the past at camp (if any), desire to do something different, such as work near home. Try to negotiate; offer to, say, paint the garage or clean it out if they let you stay home. It really comes down to your creativity and being adamant about refusing and how determined they are to have you go.
I hear my parents doing it!?!?! Eww?
Okay I'm so grossed out about this! So we are on vacation with my grandma and cousin but my grandma and cousin weren't sleeping in the house that day and so my parents did it. Are rooms are next to eah other and I heard moaning giggling and kissing noises. It was awful. And then the next morning I go to the bathroom and when I throw out the paper in the trash I also see my dads used condom sticking out in the trash. A week later I find something else. See, me and my mom have to share closets for vacation. She let's me go in the closet whenever I want since my clothes are there too. So I go to my side of the closet to get dressed. And in one of MY shelves I see my mom put to pieces of lingerie there!! It was so short and lacy I didn't know if it was for a top or a bottom! EWWWWWW! I really am grossed out by this what do I do?? And the next time we don't have company in the vacation house they are probably gonna do it again!!! They keep on throwing all of that stuff in my face. It's obvious that there doing it and i want them to stop . They could at least do it when I'm not home or do it and not making it so obvious. I'm 13 years old and I guess they don't think I know what this means. And this isn't something I could just talk about with my mom and dad it would be way too awkward. Help ;(
My mom is forcing me to go on a 2 day vacation and I don't want to go. How can I make her change her mind?
If you are in your teens, try negotiating to stay with another responsible relative. Grandparents? Dad?OR ask if you can bring a friend along. I did that at 13, same situation and that was for three weeks and I didn’t want to be miserable with my parents.Third option: this may Be sounds grim - GO. Decide ahead of time you are going to find things in this vacation to make it fun. Maybe invent games like “counting all the buildings with weird shaped windows.” Or “how many green Traffic lights can you get in a row.”This will help pass the boredom.Consider that if you were to lose your mother soon by an accident or illness, this might be your last chance to be with her without a lot of distractions.When younger, it’s easy to think that “parents will live forever.” They don’t always.When I started my company to train adult children about healthcare needs for parents getting old, the first week I met FIVE young male students who all had buried mothers within the past year!It really affected me. All the reasons varied - 1) brain tumor, 2) car accident, 3) breast cancer, 4) pedestrian accident 5) a suicide.My mom was killed when I was 31. I sure wasn’t ready to lose her. We were so close.Yeh, it’s a vacation and you don’t want to go. But you could go by choosing to go, vs feeling dragged to go.PS -there’s no right or wrong answer about going or not. But likely if something does happen to your mom later, you might wish you had gone to have those memories.(I’m assuming you have a nice, normal Mom and she’s not drinking or high and driving, and /or not abusing you.)
