Wendi Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 OK thanks. its good having someone who understands the situation. I also understand the double standards when it comes to boys and girls!! My brother got away with lots - and he was younger than me!! My daughters get annoyed at their dad when they are at his house because one of their brothers lives there, and he gets to stay out late, and had much more freedom when he was the same age as the girls are now!! It is really NOT fair - but it's the protective streak in parents. My girls are a match for most guys - so if I make sure they are in quite early then it's to protect innocent guys who may get their butt kicked by my girls!!! :roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinghorse83 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 :boxed I'm sorry to know that, here is so common for children living with parents until they marry or even when they want ..... really? but then how do they learn to be responsible?? that's unfair especially the first part :thumbdownbut you're a girl that's the way life is. Boys get their way more easily nowadays...and you can see the results too early! please don't! :shocked it feels sooo unfair sometimes. yeah, i think you can. its not good well hopefully i can move in with my aunt or something and continue to study, but then i will have to hold down a job with longer hours and it will get even harder to do well at school. but i want to try and stay in school until i am 17 and that way i can complete ncea level 3..

Lollipop Love Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 really? but then how do they learn to be responsible?? you don't have to live alone to learn that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinghorse83 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 you don't have to live alone to learn that. well i don't know.. *shrugs* its what i've been told my whole life, and i've always known that i'd have to leave hom when i'm 16, I just didn't expect 16 to come so fast. but i've been wondering if there was somehow i could convince my parents to let me stay longer, even though they infuriate me sometimes I don't feel ready to leave home.

Wendi Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think I'm off to bed now... Have I shocked you? I KNEW it wasn't just me who thinks that the older children have it rougher than the youngers! by the time the younger ones roll around, the parents get sick of punishing.. You are spot on there - but rather than being sick of punishing I think they just relax a little more!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollipop Love Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 well i don't know.. *shrugs* its what i've been told my whole life, and i've always known that i'd have to leave hom when i'm 16, I just didn't expect 16 to come so fast. but i've been wondering if there was somehow i could convince my parents to let me stay longer, even though they infuriate me sometimes I don't feel ready to leave home. again, I'm sorry that this is your reality and your parents think this way. I pretty responsible and I assure you that live alone or not, has nothing to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine telling my bairns they have to leave by 16!! My oldest was 24 when he moved out!! My girls will probably stay until they have been through college - then find a flat or something. My second son will be coming home in July after he graduates from University - and he is nearly 21!! y other son stays with his dad because it's nearer for his apprenticeship - but when he falls out with his dad he comes and stays here!! Maybe you could sit and have a ghat with your parents and explain that you don't feel ready to think about living elsewhere - and see what they say. It can't hurt!!

Kavi Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) you don't have to live alone to learn that. well i don't know.. *shrugs* its what i've been told my whole life, and i've always known that i'd have to leave hom when i'm 16, I just didn't expect 16 to come so fast. but i've been wondering if there was somehow i could convince my parents to let me stay longer, even though they infuriate me sometimes I don't feel ready to leave home. Too many quotes to quote...but I really like this convo, it makes me feel like I'm not alone... I ALWAYS hate it that the boys get treated differently from us girls and the excuse is always "boys will be boys" or "the are guys they can handle themselves better than girls" I have an older brother but imo I'm more mature than him yet he has more freedom than me! And wow, like Lollipop Love, I find that young!! I'm 20 and still living at home. And I agree that learning responsibility doesn't mean you have to live alone... and this is why I love MFC...I learn alot about other cultures, esp me because I grew up and still live in a very protective home - a lot of things teenages/young adults do I never get to do and I often hear that teenage yrs r the best, but all I have done is study :S (I cannot travel on my own as yet, never went to parties (not that i care though lol), never went to a sleepover, never had a bf, for example), so for many who certain things seem ordinary, it's all new to me....and I'm proud to say that I have learnt A LOT on MFC Sorry for the rant!!!

Soaring Simpson Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 you don't have to live alone to learn that. No, I don't think staying at home or leaving has much to do with it. Round where I live it's seen as a bit irresponsible to rent a place and let the money go out of the family, so to speak. And living with people like your parents when you're an adult teaches you a lot about compromise and respect despite the usual generational differencences in lifestyles.

avoca Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 big M says henry diltz comes next week to the studio. so i sense before the photographer of the stars has met him, there won't be any new blog. I may be wrong, it's just what i think. it's sunday night, perhaps right now he's out partying, OR sitting on his couch thinking about his neighbourhood plastic grass, OR dreaming to be up on the roof of his studio sunbathing.. the possibilities are endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
