I am 19, and I currently pay for about half of the rent. But I get treated like I don't deserve any of the apartment to myself at any time(friends over, girlfriend, etc.).
I don't want to leave my mom hanging out on a financial limb, but I need to get out.
How should I talk to my mom about this? I just dont want to screw her over financially. And how much notice should I give her? one week? one month?How do you tell your parent you are moving out?
Well if you are old enough to move out than you are old enough to just sit down and tell mom what you are doing.
I think that you should give her at least 1 month.How do you tell your parent you are moving out?
Some parents do not want their offspring to fledge. The best way to tell her is by using words, carefully selected words. This is your mother you're talking about so give her as much time as possible. You will know if she is stringing you along or really trying. Her actions will dictate your next words.
dude i'm totally in the same situation i'm 18.......and i'm moving out in january.i'm thinking of telling them when i've already found a place and paid for it.seems like the best thing i can come up with.i'm totally screwed cos it seems heart breaking any way.........
Just sit down and talk to her. Tell her your feelings about things and your plans. You are going to fly the nest sooner or later. It's going to happne one day, so!

Can someone tell me which baby carrier offers good back support for the parent?
Baby Bjorn
Active-The red and black one.
I got it for my hubby, but I use it all the time! Way easier than carrying her with my arms, and I feel no back pain at all with it on.Can someone tell me which baby carrier offers good back support for the parent?
DO NOT...I repeat, DO NOT get a Baby Bjorn. Anyone who thinks it is good for your back is mistaken. It nearly cracked me in half and I am tall (5'8';)...can't imagine if I were petite trying to use it. By the time my child was 16 pounds, I couldn't take it anymore. Not to mention, it is an unhealthy position for your baby's hips to be pulled apart like that when they are newborn. And your baby should always be facing you.
After misery with the Bjorn, I ended up buying a well-padded ring-sling (from www.slingbaby.com) and I still use it now that my child is 25 pounds. He can sit on my hip with the sling and it's great. But... the sling puts uneven weight on one side of your body, so it's still not the best for your back.
I WISH I had bought an Ergo baby carrier. It is probably the best for you back. The weight is distributed across your HIPS. And you can wear you baby either in front of you or in back. There's also an infant insert for newborns that won't pull their legs apart.
Go to http://ergobabycarrier.com/
You can see the different videos on how it works and the different ways to wear it. It will last you until your child is 3.
It's one of the more popular styles of true ';baby wearers'; too.Can someone tell me which baby carrier offers good back support for the parent?
The Ergo, Sutemi and MayaTai are your best bets for good back support and long term use. They hold infants AND toddlers and are great for an aching mama back!
My son is 2.5 and still goes happily in the Ergo sometimes. and I have a messed up back, but it NEVER causes discomfort.
I would NOT get a Bjorn or snuggli, those have your baby dangling by his/her crotch and are bad for spinal development.
I love my sling from http://www.slingezee.com/ and I love it. It is padded and very comfortable. I love how I can ';wear'; my baby in so many different positions as well. It comes with an instructional DVD that is very helpful. I wear my son in this a lot, he is 14.13 lbs and I have not had back problems yet.
Edit----------------------------------鈥?br>
Evin is right that the Moby wraps are great also. I would love to have one of those too. I still love mine but my sister has 3 and one of hers is the Moby style. She loves it.
Baby bjorn is good if you plan on only using it while your baby is an infant.But I would recomend the ERGO for all ages!!I garantee you,you will fall in love with this carrier from day one!!You can use it comfortably until your child is 3 yrs. old!!!
Personally, I didn't like the bjorn, bauer or snuggli type carriers, even with the lumbar support. It just wasn't comfortable on my back at all. The position of the baby wasn't good and they carrier wasn't adjustable enough to ever be comfortable for me. I also wasn't a big fan of the one-shoulder slings for anything longer than a quick up and down (like walking from the playground to the car or something)
I found the most comfort and versatility in the Moby-style wraps. They're completely adjustable to your body type, and you can even make your own without any home-ec prowess whatsoever. I followed the no-sew instructions on http://www.wearyourbaby.com
If you have a good baby boutique, go try several and see what works for you, different bodies, different needs, you know. Hope you find a carrier that works for you!

How do you convine your parent to get a pet that you really want???????????????
How to Show Your Parents You Are Responsible Enough to Own a Pet:
Feeding is a daily responsibility.
A lot of children have a dream to own a special pet, but many parents do not allow them to because they think that their child is not responsible enough.
Don't give up though - all you need to do is to show that you are responsible and mature enough by following these suggested tips.
Steps...
Be honest with yourself.
Are you responsible enough?
Consider these questions and answer them truthfully:
Are you ready to feed, brush, pet, clean, bathe, play with the pet on a regular basis?
Are you ready to clean out their cage, bed, living area etc. regularly?
Many pets need daily cleanup to keep odors manageable.
If smells get too strong parents can get angry and might give you a punishment.
Do you have too many other commitments that might prevent you from having a pet and looking after it properly?
Think about sports, after-school activities, weekend homework, etc.
Research the animal you think you want (try your local library or the internet).
Write down what you learn.
This will prepare you care for the animal, help you choose the right animal, and demonstrate to your parents that you know what is involved.
What different kinds are there?
What are they like?
How long do they live?
How messy are they?
What sort of care do they require?
Don't forget the good parts. Are they affectionate?
Can they be trained to do tricks?
Can the whole family enjoy their company?
Make a list of things you will do to care for the pet.
Show this to your parents to demonstrate that you are ready, and see what they think about letting you have this animal.
Buy a small soft toy in the shape of whatever pet you want.
It may sound strange, but it will help.
Care for it and pretend it is real for however long you want to (it will show your parents that you have patience).
Don't keep asking if you can have a pet yet; just show that you are caring about the toy.
Some people are quite happy with the soft toy and may not even want a pet anymore and some may think it is too much work and give up altogether.
If you still want a pet, proceed to the next step.
Start off small.
Show your parents what you have done with your soft toy and if they approve, then politely ask them to buy you a fish.
The aim is to start small, then work up.
A fish doesn't smell and doesn't make noises.
You only have to feed it and change the water regularly.
If your parents still do not agree, then ask for sea monkeys. They are cheap and you only need to feed them.
Progress to larger animals.
After your parents have seen how you look after your small pets, slowly move onto the bigger, more high-maintenance animals.
If you only want a mouse, this will not take long, but if you want a dog then it will take longer.
Tell your parents about friends who have pets.
Don't overdo this, in case they think that your only reason for wanting a pet is because a friend has one.
Do use it show that someone your own age is already caring well for a pet.
If you are someone in your family is allergic to dogs, look into getting a dog that does not shed much (make sure the allergic family member has a chance to meet the pet before you take it home), or choose a different animal.
Perhaps a cat, bird, tarantula, or fish might be easier on the sinuses.
Many of these creatures also require less space and care than a dog.
Tips...
If your parents do not let you have a pet, don't throw a tantrum or beg incessantly.
It will not help at all.
Accept the fact that they say no at this point in time and be patient.
Do extra chores around the house to get extra cash.
Ask again in a few months and show them that you have earned the money to pay for the pet and its supplies.
This will definitely impress them!
Or wait until you are older.
If your family already owns a pet, show that you can care for it.
On a regular basis, fill its water bowl, clean out its sleeping area, tidy its play things and ask if you can help feed it.
All of these demonstrate that you can care for a pet.
Be patient with your parents - they do love you.
It may not be that your parents don't think you are responsible enough, but that they do not like pets or they don't feel they have have the room or time.
In this case, put on a smile and wait until you grow up, when you are the boss of the house.
You may then choose a pet.
If you are looking for a dog or cat, research local animal shelters.
(Petfinder.com is a good website to find pets in your area that are for adoption.)
This will show your parents that you are thinking beyond just what you want, but also thinking about how you can help an animal and the community.
Adopting a pet saves an animal who needs a home and family.
Also, adoption fees are frequently low and include vet fees and other expenses.
Watch Animal Planet and other animal shows to learn more about animals.
Tell your parents the things you have learned about animals.
Ask your parents if you can foster care for the kind of animal you want or another animal.
When they see you taking care of it they might agree that you are ready or not.
If you enjoy computer games or toys, try a Tamagotchi or join Neopets or Club Penguin and take care of virtual pets until you are able to have a real pet of your own.
If you're old enough, see if you can volunteer at an an animal shelter or pet-sit for neighbors' critters while they are on vacation.
These are both good ways to spend time with animals while you are waiting, and they will help you demonstrate your commitment and responsibility.
Pet sitting or dog walking could even earn you a little spending money.
Go and help out at a shelter to show your parents you are responsible.
If you get the pet you've been trying to get, follow through with your promises.
Sometimes that pet may not work out, but if you're responsible with it then your parents may let you get another.
Warnings...
Sometimes the reason you cannot have a pet (like a dog or cat) is not because you are not responsible.
Sometimes members of your family my have allergies that will cause extreme discomfort.
Keep in mind that some people have trouble with the idea of mice, rats, insects, and reptiles as pets.
If you run into a problem like this, consider choosing a different animal.
If you want a pet, look after it properly, treat it the way you would like to be treated.
Pets are a lot of work.
Make sure that you are prepared to own one.
Are you ready to devote lots of money and time to your pet?
If not, then maybe it's time to reconsider.
Pets requiring a huge investment of time and money include: St Bernard dog, horse, pony, poisonous snake/spider.
Be realistic about these sorts of pets and perhaps reconsider your desire for such a pet and change to one that is less expensive and is low maintenance.
Never get a pet without your parent's consent and knowledge.
Not only will this have them distrusting you (and you will get found out if you're trying to hide it) but they may be disinclined to let you have a pet in the future.
Hope it Helped!How do you convine your parent to get a pet that you really want???????????????
You can't - sorry to say but the truth of the matter is, if they don't want to spend their money on something you want then they don't have to. Instead, why don't you get yourself a job and save up some money for a pet (and college) then ask when YOU can help out with the costly vet bills and initial fees?How do you convine your parent to get a pet that you really want???????????????
Prove to them that you are responsible enough and dedicated enough to take care of an animal. I agree, they aren't play toys. You cant think its cute for a week then loose interest. Research the animal, see if you have what it takes. Understand that If you get a dog- its probably going to be with you for the next 12-14 years. Start by doing some chores around the house on a consistent basis. If they still wont let you- I suggest volunteering at an animal shelter. Then you get to have interaction with animals and help out at the same time. Good luck!

Is it possible for a parent to favor one child?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~鈥?br>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^鈥?br>
I'm really curious because sometimes i feel like my mother loves my little brother more then me. Its obvicious. Sometimes my brother can be obnoxicious and we can get in a fight and my mom always finds away to make me wrong and my brother right. Even when he starts it! I think she does love him more....what do you think?Is it possible for a parent to favor one child?
i have same problem.
well we are a big family and that but my big brother.. just my mum always makes him look right and he laughs at me then and it makes me angry and i cant say nothing. my parents love me really much because i am more nicer etc, to them but sometimes it feels they like him better as hes more fun i guess. he never helps does anything. but my dad always wanted a boy so maybe thats whats it and hes oldest so when he goes out of the house lol maybe i will be favourite.
parents got always a favourite depends on how the child is. more fun, nice, clever, helpful fun to talk to etc.
gud luck =] dont worry.
btw you said hes little brother so hes younger so it might because hes younger. well if hes 6 years then i cant blame your parents because the little ones get the most love.Is it possible for a parent to favor one child?
Yes, it's possible. It's usually the baby or the difficult one that they seem to favor. My Mother never punished my baby sister for anything and I always hated her (my sister). My Mother was trying very hard to get her to like/love her, though. The little brat treated her horribly. Somehow she managed to grow up into an absolutely awesome adult, though.
Your Mother does love you, don't ever forget that. You should stop looking for things to be upset about because you will surely find them.
Of course they have favourites. Everybody prefers some people more than others though the difference may be small. You like your Mom or Dad better but maybe not by a noticeable amount. Maybe your mother does favor you. Or maybe she helps him out with arguments because of his age or personality or something. I dunno are you more aggressive when you argue? Maybe thats why she helps him.
How old are you and how old is your brother?
A lot of parents favor one child over the other, it is not right and I do not. But if you ask my kids at times they both think the other one always gets their way and they don't when in reality that is not what happens.
Yes thats possible I had the same problem my mom favored my older brother more than I use it to your advantage make it your mission to strive for better my brother dropped out of high school while I got my Diploma and moved on to university
Absolutely, even a parent will never admit it and they always say I love all of you the same, but each child is different . Also, many mothers favor their sons.
2 me like people might think you are getting jealous just ignore her and she will get the picture
yes. most parents do have a favorite even if they dont admit it.
i am pretty sure i am the least favorite in my family
You might feel that way sometimes, but I highly doubt that they favor one or the other. Is your brother younger?
HELLS YEAH
I definitely think that it is possible. My best friend won't have more than one child because out of her, and her two brothers, the middle brother is CLEARLY her mother's favorite and has and always will be- even though he is in and out of jail and a burden on society, her mom keeps bailing him out and what not. She on the other hand is a very responsible self-sufficient adult.
In my family- I have a half sister and from the time she was two years old my father told both her and I that she was his favorite.
I now have 2 kids and one on the way and I always worried that I would have a favorite. SO far what I have noticed is I don't necessarily have a FAVORITE I have different type of relationship with both my children. My 2 year old is Autistic and my other son is 6. You would think I would favor the 2 year old because of his disability, or the 6 year old because I feel badly for his burden of having a brother with special needs- but I don't. Sometimes the little one wins and some times the big one wins. Most of the time I tell them to figure it out between themselves because it doesn't do me any good to take a ';side'; unless one of them is CLEARLY wrong- but... I do think many parents have a favorite- I'm just happy that as of now- I don't feel I do- but when the eldest hits his teenage years.....haha.... we'll see if I feel the same way!!
I'm sorry for you! But I don't think that if your mom DOES favor one or the other- it doesn't necessarily mean she loves one more than the other. Perhaps she relates better to your brother than she does to you which makes it easier for her to ';take his side';. All people are different! Hope it gets better for you.

I'm really curious because sometimes i feel like my mother loves my little brother more then me. Its obvicious. Sometimes my brother can be obnoxicious and we can get in a fight and my mom always finds away to make me wrong and my brother right. Even when he starts it! I think she does love him more....what do you think?Is it possible for a parent to favor one child?
i have same problem.
well we are a big family and that but my big brother.. just my mum always makes him look right and he laughs at me then and it makes me angry and i cant say nothing. my parents love me really much because i am more nicer etc, to them but sometimes it feels they like him better as hes more fun i guess. he never helps does anything. but my dad always wanted a boy so maybe thats whats it and hes oldest so when he goes out of the house lol maybe i will be favourite.
parents got always a favourite depends on how the child is. more fun, nice, clever, helpful fun to talk to etc.
gud luck =] dont worry.
btw you said hes little brother so hes younger so it might because hes younger. well if hes 6 years then i cant blame your parents because the little ones get the most love.Is it possible for a parent to favor one child?
Yes, it's possible. It's usually the baby or the difficult one that they seem to favor. My Mother never punished my baby sister for anything and I always hated her (my sister). My Mother was trying very hard to get her to like/love her, though. The little brat treated her horribly. Somehow she managed to grow up into an absolutely awesome adult, though.
Your Mother does love you, don't ever forget that. You should stop looking for things to be upset about because you will surely find them.
Of course they have favourites. Everybody prefers some people more than others though the difference may be small. You like your Mom or Dad better but maybe not by a noticeable amount. Maybe your mother does favor you. Or maybe she helps him out with arguments because of his age or personality or something. I dunno are you more aggressive when you argue? Maybe thats why she helps him.
How old are you and how old is your brother?
A lot of parents favor one child over the other, it is not right and I do not. But if you ask my kids at times they both think the other one always gets their way and they don't when in reality that is not what happens.
Yes thats possible I had the same problem my mom favored my older brother more than I use it to your advantage make it your mission to strive for better my brother dropped out of high school while I got my Diploma and moved on to university
Absolutely, even a parent will never admit it and they always say I love all of you the same, but each child is different . Also, many mothers favor their sons.
2 me like people might think you are getting jealous just ignore her and she will get the picture
yes. most parents do have a favorite even if they dont admit it.
i am pretty sure i am the least favorite in my family
You might feel that way sometimes, but I highly doubt that they favor one or the other. Is your brother younger?
HELLS YEAH
I definitely think that it is possible. My best friend won't have more than one child because out of her, and her two brothers, the middle brother is CLEARLY her mother's favorite and has and always will be- even though he is in and out of jail and a burden on society, her mom keeps bailing him out and what not. She on the other hand is a very responsible self-sufficient adult.
