Parents exaggerate?
My mom exaggerates all the time just to get me in trouble with my dad. And don't get me wrong I barely do anything, I'm a great kid, my dad has amazing hopes for me, wants me to finish high-school and 8th grade early, and expects me to be a millionare. And I think I will, I am a straight "A" student, am nice at school and such, polite and hang out only with good people, no druggies or anything. I do extra work and am working on a Monopoly game with Java which is extremely difficult but I'm doing. And sometimes I need to have some free time so I play PS3. Then I get a time limit of 15 minutes a day, and I was on for 15 minutes today, and another 5 to talk to my friend since the phone was being used. And now my mom said I was on for hours, I have been yelling at her and I was pissed all of today. And she wants to take away everything I have. My parents are very strict as well and won't let me say what I think about things like this. I am confused and almost depressed, what do I do?
Weddings exaggerated? Bad wedding!?
I was married recently. It didn't turn out the way I wished it would have especially since I had no help. (My mom was married in city hall). Does any else out there think that a wedding is too expensive/complicated. I should have just went to City Hall!! Has anyone gone through this bad experience and if so did you have another wedding later down the road or did something else special. I can't stop regretting. I'm happily married but embarrassed.
Is it wrong to feel uncomfortable around my dad?
I'm sorry to say that your dad is a perv. Don't feel ashamed that you are beautiful, you've done nothing wrong. Your father shouldn't look at you in that way. He shouldn't find you attractive. A more fatherly thing would be for him to say "Shouldn't you cover up a little bit more" or "Isn't that bikini a little too small? In my day, women couldn't wear such a thing in public.." and so on. I say stay away from your dad, your instincts are telling you right.
Get rid of my evil step monster? (step mother)?
Tell your dad how she treats you. Also when she grounds you, her that shes not your mother or parent. Does she live in your fathers house or did they buy one together? If its your dads house and shes bossing you around, tell her that its not her house and if she wants to boss you around she needs to do it on her own territiory. Also, make a mess around the house and blame it on her. If she keeps on threatening you tell her that she has no right to treat you like that! omg this also works wonders..... !..... if she gives you a lecture saying that you need to respect her, tell her that respect is earned and shes done nothing to earn your respect. Also if she threatens you, tell her that god can herar her... wen in doubt bring up god.. lol... it scares the pants out of ppl!!! i got rid of my dads girlfriend by putting penut better in her shoes... thats all i meant to do but then a mouse got into her shoes and she screamed and hollered and that was the hardest ive laughed in years! make sure you stand up to her, but dont make it a screaming match. wen shes yelling, stay cool as a cucumber wen you give a responce, that way when shes screaming her head off she feels like an idiot hope this helps! if you pick this as best ansewre tell me how it went!
Why is my father so strict?
Parents are strict because they are trying to protect you from harm.They have lived in the world and they have perhaps an exaggerated idea of what all the potential dangers to you might be. So they are strict with you, because they do not want you to encounter the risks they know are out there.Past a certain point, parental strictness can be counterproductive, because children need to encounter a little bit of risk to learn how to manage it. But they do it out of love, and a desire to keep you from harm, and so it’s good to be patient with them.
My father kicked me and now I have a painful bruise above my right butt. What should I do about this?
You need to think about how often this sort of thing happens. If you are living with your parents, are less than 18 years old, and similar things have happened before you should call a help line or talk to someone. If you feel the bruise is not healing the way it should, get medical attention and have them bill it to your parents no matter what your age. If you are over 18 and the bruise is not terribly bad, just don’t get into any more discussions with your mother. When your father tells you to leave, do so immediately and don’t visit again for a while. Either you will find that your mother does not argue with you as often or you will spend a lot less time with your parents. My mother had this thing where she would start to explain about how bad a person my father was. This bothered be because she tended to exaggerate and some of my sisters were very upset by it. I finally told her that any time she started that topic I would defend him and maybe even mention a few of her flaws. I did not have to make good on the promise very many times before she stopped.
