This question was deleted as I was forming an answer to the question.
I think the answer is strong enough to allow the question to be presented.
CHILD SUPPORT, or **** IT?
Well my mom took the child support card from me just because I got a SUMMER job, which ends in two weeks, but anyways its mines, and without me she wouldn`t be gettin it, and if she doesn`t give me back the card I wanted to know if there is anyway that I could go to court and have them cancel it, cause im an 18 year old senior and I need money, not just 400 dollars every ****** two weeks from a summer jobs, and not to mention that I have to get clothes cause I hardly have any and shoes and this is jsut ****** up, I need to know what can i do reall???

Hello, reall

You are doomed.

Read over your own question.
At 18 you are offering yourself to the working world?
Your question shows that you are not ready to be an adult.
Good clothes and shoes are always available. Start at GOODWILL they have everything you need to survive.
You are living at home, You are not paying rent, CHILD SUPPORT will only last until you are 18 or when you leave school. You are 18 so the only way to continue the CHILD SUPPORT is for you to stay in school.
Your question shows that you have not learned enough in 18 years to be accepted in any University, College or Junior College. Your future has a 90% failure rate. Probably with time in jail within the first year of graduation, if you graduate.

You only have a 10% chance of making it.

Male or female here is your best chance.

Let you mom have the CHILD SUPPORT money.

It is time for you to get your own as* in gear.

Construction is the only field you are qualified for.
Your question shows that anything requiring the use of written English is beyond your abilities. You did not even use spell check. Therefore construction is your start. I recommend becoming an Electrician. Electrician is the highest pay for the least amount of work. Volunteer to work the first two weeks for free to show the company you can be at work on time ready to do and to learn. Electricity is an excellent teacher. If you do it wrong you get one hell of a shock, to make you think harder about what you just touched. If you are really stupid and do not learn fast, then electricity will kill you and I need not write any more.

You will spend a minimum of four years learning the Electrical trade. The same time you were given by your fellow citizens to learn to be an adult during high school but which you waisted thinking that life is a free ride and there was nothing but play time ahead.

With your first pay check as an electrical apprentice you will either make or break the 80 years ahead of you.

First
Male or female buy a pack of condoms and learn how to use them.
The last thing the world needs is more people, who can not take care of themselves, having more children.

Second
Open an investment account. This may be the last thing on your mind.
Just do it. Without an investment account you will never succeed. This is the point I was NOT told and only learned after 30 years of working hard. It does not matter who the account is with. You are not going to invest yet. How can you? You know nothing about investing.

Third
Do not give your mother any of your pay check. She does not know how to manage money, or you would not be in the sad state you are in.
You are living in a home. Your mother’s home. Start paying your own adult way. Chose a bill, The electric bill to start with. YOU pay that bill. You buy the money order, the stamp and the envelope and put it in a safe post office mailbox.
If you have any money left YOU go buy food for yourself. If you cook and clean up yourself then you need not buy your mother any food. If you are a deadly poor cook and you would like your mother to cook for you, you need to pay her to cook. Not with money but with the food list that she gives you to go to the store and buy the food yourself that she will cook. The store will show you how best to make every penny count.

Make sure you have enough left from your first pay check to buy the same high quality SCREW DRIVER that you saw the other electricians using. The master electricians will respect you more each week they see you show up ON TIME with one more Electrician Grade tool of your own.

DO NOT buy all your tools at one time. Good Tools are expensive and it will help you learn, if you ASK the Electricians you are working with, which tool you should buy next. The Electricians know which tools are safe for you. And which tools they recommend each week will tell you what they think of your progress.
My guess is the second week they will have you go buy ELECTRICIANS work boots. HUH? Bet you did not think of that one. The Electricians know your body is a wonderful wire and the fist thing to do is to insulate you from getting shocked and killed. Some time around the second m

TUBBY asked:


First of all, I’m 24, so I’m not just an angry teenager. Second, let me explain a little of the story to you. My mom divorced my dad when I was 20 b/c she was “bored”. So she met “Gary” on the internet and after 2 weeks, moved him in with her and within 6 months they were married. My mom is fairly well-to-do, she owns a bridal business so she does quite well. Gary moved in with her with nothing but the shirt on his back. They have been married for 1 year now and she has bought him a new car, a hottub, tools, clothes….you name it. My problem with Gary is he drinks all the time, he puts her down constantly, and he spends her money like she is a bank. My mother and I have recently invested in a property and we are building a wedding chapel. Gary thought he would help and lead the construction on the building. The original budget was $30K, but he has spend $75K of my mothers money. And when he runs out of booze, he becomes a complete as.s!! How do I tell her that I HATE him!?
Not to mention my mother is always putting my husband down, calling him lazy and whatnot, when her husband is a drunk as.shole!!

I need nail bags for my sons birthday party. THEY ARE NOT TO PUT NAILS IN THEM! My son is 2! I need them so i can fill with candy and PLASTIC tools.

Kennadee asked:


I’m totally fed up with my living situation! I need to move out of my house! I may sound like I’m whining, but I know that I need to get out to be the person that I need to be. Please read below before you answer:
I think my dad has some mental thing about owning stuff. He has some property out in the country, a big old opera house that’s full of stuff, and our house which is really old and under construction (as are all of the properties) he has 14 cars, none of which work. Some are antique, some are just pieces of junk. My parents have owned the opera house for 15 years and it’s still just full of stuff and not fixed up. My mom is really upset about all of this stuff too, I know that, but my dad refuses to do anything. But here’s the worst part:
our house. We don’t have hot water. We don’t have a shower or a bathtub. We haven’t had these for 2 years. I take showers at my aunts house every other day. We have one toilet, there’s a hole in the wall of my bedroom that goes into the upstairs bathroom which doesn’t have plaster or a floor. That’s not even all of the bad things about my house!
So, my dad has 5 antique motorcycles in pieces and piles of theater equipment laying around in the opera house. I mean, its CHOCK FULL!
My dad is really immature. He leaves his tools all over. he says he “puts them away” he makes little piles of nails on the kitchen counter and leaves them for 4 weeks, getting angry if you touch them. He makes piles of paint and tools in the corner. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stubbed my toes. I try to clean up after him, and he yells at me so badly! I recently rearranged my room after I bought myself a vanity. I had this dresser (that had been stored in the opera house for 7 years) my dad got out for me. 1 drawer didn’t work, all the other ones stuck and I wasn’t even using it, it was taking up space in my room, so I moved it and told my mom I didn’t need it anymore. She said she wanted it in her room so I put it in there, and my dad got so mad and yelled at me! I can’t live at a friend’s house, I can maybe live at my grandma’s house… but how do I make the move?

Ashes asked:


I’m in a broken family of four. My brother lives with my mom in a town that’s 30 minutes away from where my dad and I live. They’re divorced, and my dad had been re-married for four years to a woman that would love nothing more than for me to be erased from my father’s memory (and will). My dad is by no means wealthy, but he’s very well off. He owns his own construction business and has created his business from the ground up. He’s the type of person that you will never be able to please, because obviously, nothing is ever, ever good enough. I’m 21, have a full-time job working for the state of Oregon, am a full-time student at a four year university with a cumulative 3.8 GPA, and I pay for my car payment, but my dad does help me with my insurance, gas and cell phone bill. I do appreciate him dearly and tell him this all the time, but he doesn’t so much as sniff at my gratitude for his help during these rough times. While my step-mother spends most of her time shopping for her children, shopping for herself and buying pretty much anything her little heart desires. I don’t envy her for this, but I don’t appreciate her spending habits, just as much as I don’t appreciate my dad giving her any and all credit cards she so pleases. I have tried to talk to my dad about this but he always says I’m dramatic and that I need to grow up. I have been saving every dime to buy a house (I’ve bought my own car so far), and have almost 3,000 saved. I thought I was doing very well, and I like to here praise for how hard I work, but I never have and probably never will receive the attention that I so greatly desire. It has turned me into a monster. I have anger problems, have relationship problems, and I don’t want to seek out male attention because I can’t get any positive reinforcement from my dad. I cry all the time and I can’t afford to move into a home and I don’t want to waste all of my money getting into an apartment. I feel lost. With my mother and brother, the problems are even worse. My mother puts my brother on this pedestal to where it is impossible for him to do wrong and he hates it when I come around. Every time I call him he tells me to “f*** off” and other colorful terms. When I tell my mother about this she acts as if she is powerless and there is nothing she can or will do. The reason why I moved away from her house (the house my dad built) is because I wanted to spend more time with my father. Now I have been living with him for the last ten years and every single time he gets into a relationship (his most recent is his fourth marriage, my mom was his third, his other relationships were just girlfriend status), he tries to push his “old” family away and bring in the “new” one. He moves women in with him like it’s going out of style. His wife now, my step-mom, only knew my dad for a solid month and they married. Unbelievably, they’re still together. But I know it’s because my dad’s lonely and wants a companion, and my step-mom is greedy and wants to be taken care of (She was married to an ex felon, has three kids from two different dads, 5′3”, 100 lbs, pretty, and doesn’t mind the trophy position, while my dad is 5′8”, 350 lbs, and wanted someone who will cook, clean, have sex, no questions asked). I hate this about him, he treats women as if they are no more than tools like his construction work. My mom has stolen 3/4 of my college fund, bought a new car (06 Pontiac GTO) and my brother has spent all of his on booze, pain killers, and strippers. God, it doesn’t end… I am 8 classes away from graduating but I can’t graduate because of my work hours and the classes that I need are not offered during the evening hours, no work - can’t pay bills or move out. So you see my multiple dilemmas upon problems. My mom backed up into my car too, and won’t pay for the damage, so now I am stuck with a 1,600 dollar bill that I can pay… with my savings for my house. I have a family that just doesn’t want me, and my dad thinks that paying for things equals love when it truly doesn’t. I try to ignore the way my step-mom treats me but I am strong-minded and truly understand when I am being purposefully left out of family functions as well as being alienated from my father. The worse part is that my father treats this issue that I have as nothing more than immaturity, a phase, and jealousy. But it is obvious and apparent, with verbal and non-verbal cues, that my dad not only treats his wife, but everyone in her family, that he loves them and they are more important to him, than I am to him. My brother used to live with us. But when my dad married this woman, she convinced him to kick my brother out of the house, which was good and bad for many reasons. My brother forced my dad to sign over the title to the truck that my brother regularly drove (1997 F250 powerstroke diesel), I have one exactly like my brother’s except for mine is two years older and I never asked dad to do that. So my dad did and told my brother to get th
