| Questions.... 1. How old are you? 2. If the living conditions with your father are so bad, why don't you try to live with your mother? 3. What sort of job skills do you have that can land you a job to supplement the $500/mo you get from your mom? As a father that pays an exorbitant amount of child support, I feel your mom's pain, especially if your dad squanders the money. I pay enough in monthly support for my daughter's mother to make certain ALL her bills are paid, yet she can't keep a phone on so I can talk to my daughter. But that's my personal bitterness. As someone who has lived on his own for nearly two decades, I have some advice: - Make sure you have enough income to support yourself without the help of a roommate or subletter. - When you move out you'll get credit card applications. SHRED THEM IMMEDIATELY! Your credit rating will thank you later. - If things start looking bleak financially, bite the bullet and go back to the free rent, even if it means putting up with an asshole father for a couple years. - FINISH YOUR EDUCATION. Your dreams are not your ticket out, as the Welcome Back Kotter theme states. Your education is. Try to learn from my mistakes.

| [Questions.... 1. How old are you? 16 If the living conditions with your father are so bad, why don't you try to live with your mother? my mom lives in sracuse where i absolutely hate it and never want to move back 3. What sort of job skills do you have that can land you a job to supplement the $500/mo you get from your mom? currently i work at a restaraunt making around 150 a week, with more freedom i can probably even get a few more hours As a father that pays an exorbitant amount of child support, I feel your mom's pain, especially if your dad squanders the money. I pay enough in monthly support for my daughter's mother to make certain ALL her bills are paid, yet she can't keep a phone on so I can talk to my daughter. But that's my personal bitterness yup my dad lives for free and uses my mom child support to pay his bills and support himslef and me, i buy all my food except dinner sometimes, pay for all my clothes so i just think its bullshit and everytime i go visit my mom shes crying about another thing he takes her to cort for (he represents himself) also he doesnt have a job so we are poor im basically his roomate he doesnt act like a father As someone who has lived on his own for nearly two decades, I have some advice: - Make sure you have enough income to support yourself without the help of a roommate or subletter i have 3 good frinds always looking for roomates who i can move in with rent about 2-250 a month - When you move out you'll get credit card applications. SHRED THEM IMMEDIATELY! Your credit rating will thank you later. trust me dont want credit cards either. - If things start looking bleak financially, bite the bullet and go back to the free rent, even if it means putting up with an asshole father for a couple years. yeah id rather tough it out another year and a half then be homeless (which i doubt will happen, but is always a possibility) - FINISH YOUR EDUCATION. Your dreams are not your ticket out, as the Welcome Back Kotter theme states. Your education is. one reason i really want to live in my dads city is because i go to a good public school where i can get my highschool diploma and 2 year associates degree in 5 years im a junior basicaly on a college schedule and im graduating in 2 and a half years. I dont want to drop out but i dont want to live with my dad Try to learn from my mistakes. everyday to add im mature, responsible, have read up on the emancipation laws and fully understand the effects,this would solve all my problems and take a huge burden off my shoulders. EDIT:living on my own i can kick it and smoke weed and party at my house when i please. Although smoking is the least of my worres right now and ill have to see how it fits in my budget,ill most likely cut down. Last edited by ian r : 11-25-2007 at 01:36 PM. |

| If you're living on your own, you probably shouldn't be throwing big parties. I know they seem fun in theory, but when you're stuck cleaning vomit, feces, urine and whatever other bodily fluids are dispersed liberally around your house it'll seem a lot less fun. And then you have to replace your couch, because no one wants to sit on the poo-couch! A friend of mine insisted on throwing a party while is mom was out of town (I repeatedly told him it was a bad idea, and I wouldn't be attending... but he didn't believe me)... cost him about 1200 bucks out of his savings to fix the place up.
