My dad told me I could go out of town then changed his mind when me and my sister were on the road?

I'd just let it go.  It sucks, but not that big of a deal.

Here is what you do.\n\nJust say, "fine mom, I won't take the car, but that means that I also won't work, and you can pay for everything i need"\n\nshe will probably give in

This guy sounds like a typical control freak. However, your sister is getting something she needs out of this relationship. If she wasn't...she would have left. The bad news is she sounds like she likes to be controlled...even just a little. It must be hard for your family to sit on the sidelines, and watch your sister go on this crazy roller coaster ride. The decision is hers to make. The only thing you and your family can do is wait for the outcome. \n\n*Do you want me to send Vinny over and take care of him?

I don't have children, but I remember doing similar things to my mother at that age. Try explaining to her why you don't want to or cant take her everywhere all the time. Explain to her how much gas cost for example and how much you normally have to spend on that. Teenagers understand more about money than most people think. Tell them exactly how many hours or the time frame that you had to work just to make the money for what a tank of gas cost. I think taking away privileges like phones and tv are a bit harsh for wanting a ride. Try working out a solution like the friends parents taking turns giving the rides. But if the chaos continues with the arguing tell her for every time that she argues with you for saying no that's one week of not visiting that friend. She might decide that once or twice a week is better than nothing at all.

Yes, Once I "borrowed" what I thought was $400 from my dad. I left the state intending on getting an apartment with money I had saved and the extra I took. When I went to count the money there was WAY more than when I had counted it the night before. I felt very guilty and didn't talk to him for 2 weeks. Then my car broke down and I knew I wouldn't be able to both fix my car and pay him back in the time I was hoping... so I called him and honestly explained everything. Yes he was very very mad. But I did eventually pay him back everything.

Firstly I hope you have fun with your mother. Maybe something like this would make you feel better so that you won't have to be thinking about it during your visit:\nTalk to your father and make a back up plan. Of course I don't know how far it is from your mom's to the airport, that being said, perhaps you can make sure you have money for a cab to the airport, So if mom refuses you can call a cab.

Well, if I were you I would seriously concider finding a job in a far away state and moving.  Your ex sounds like a slimeball and Grandma and Grandpa sorry to say sound like they cannot drive.  Then if they want to visit you can meet them halfway and go to dinner or something.  Good Luck, and make sure your child knows to wear their seatbelt at all times.  I think that you can go to the Police Department and for a fee get the copy of the accident report since it partains to a court case.  They are public record.

I believe that they be trying to get over on you like today, I'm off work but my boyfriend sister need a ride to work, I didnt mind that but she invited 3 of her friends to catch me to work also, to make a long story short all of them paid except one, and when it was time to pay, she rode home with someone else, so, today she got into my car and I looked like where is she going, but when i got to her house, she just got out of the car without offering me my money for taking here to work all last week, so I had to ask her for it, if I wouldnt of asked her she was going to gone get out without paying me for last week, they really just want to get over on you, they havnt forgot that they owe you they just dont want to pay you

You must be careful when doing this. If you are standing in the street /road you can get a ticket for obstructing traffic. You must be on the shoulder/curb to be out of traffic.

its good he left, you shouldnt go home. then they would know where you lived, which is the worst thing that could possibly happen.  the "MAX" whatever that is, a bus or subway im guessing in whatever city you live in, is a good idea as long as its crowded, but if he still followed you, i would take it to a random stop where there is a busy restaurant or store close by that you can get to by only using crowded streets, if he's still following you and follows you in, you can ask to borrow a phone and call someone to come pick you up. if he's following you on foot, he doesnt have a car handy and can't follow whoever comes to pick you up.  Or, if there are taxis where you are, you could just get one of those to either bring you home, or far enough away where he can't know where you went.

Ask your dad what his major concerns are about you driving by yourself. then try to figure out how to allevate them.\n\nmost parents are scared that teens will have a lot of friends in the car ,or fiddle with their phones and music so much that they will get distracted and into an accident.\n\nask for rules or a contract say these are the rules and i break them theni lose my driving privliges. \nfor example i will not drive with more than _ people in the car or i will not drive more than 10mi over the speed limit or i will only drive to school, work, friends house or whatever.  just let him know you are willing to be responsible.\n\ntalk to some adults your dad is friends with who have teenagers that are allowed to drive and see if they will talk to him for you.\n\nalso don't go in there with an attitude.  driving is a privlige.  your parents or the state can take it away when they wish if you break their rules.

WOW sounds like a real jerk, didn't even want to pay child support. I hope you got your increase.\nAnyways that is unsafe for your young children to travel alone. I would no, tell him your feelings on this and hold to it. \nWho are these people taking them to the long trip to the airport? Can you trust them? If you don't know them, then no. What about on a plane unsupervised, heck no, they are too young.

First explain to your bff that its going to be hard for you not to hang out with her since you guys go on trips and stuff like that then you need to ask your dads gfs daughter why she said that stuff about your bff maybe your bff did something to offend her try to get them to make up and if that doesn't work then your bff is just going to have to accept that you cant really get away from you dads gfs daughter

Be honest with you dad, set down and have a father to son talk. remember there are only a few moments we can treasure maybe you can make this the best trip he ever had with you and the family it may be his last of yours. It's your dad you owe it to go. at least you will have done something with him he likes to do and tell him he has to enjoy a trip the you would like to go on.

you were wrong for drinking in the car, and underage. i don't blame your cousin for leaving you, he did not want someone drinking in the car which is also against the law. you both could have been in big trouble for your dumb actions. he could have lost his driving privileges. where were your parents?
