Kids Room Tips

If you could change just one thing about your life, what would it be?

I would be living somewhere else, I hate my neighborhood and the house I live in. but I feel obligated to stay here. My dad bought me a car 2 years ago and paid for my whole first year's insurance, and so when he said he was moving in with his girlfriend out of town, and could I rent his house from him so he could afford to help with his and her living expenses, I couldn't say no. But it sux here. everything leaks, the electricity is old and I have my microwave in the LIVING ROOM for God's sake, because if I use it in the kitchen, it'll blow the fuses. The nasty kids in that live around here break all my stuff. I had a beautiful garden out front with some flowers and bunnies, and a gazing ball, they smashed it, and of course, no one knows anything about who did it. and I am pretty sure I am stuck here indefinitely, as the house is not done being remodeled enough to sell it, and no progress is being made at all, and if I move out, I pretty much screw my dad. I'm really hating life now. sorry such a long rant.

1. More income.
2. I graduated as a Junior in High School. At the time the school was overcrowded and it wasn't like it is now where you have to have so many hours of school. You wouldn't mind but I graduated with B's and C's so it's not like I was "skipping" a grade. I didn't even stay in college - another regret. Can you imagine I skipped my SENIOR year in high school? Plus I was born in December so I was always younger than everybody in my grade. I was way to immature. I really needed that extra year. So stupid. So I would've stayed for my Sr year - that would be something I would change if I could.
3. Work out a deal with your father. Tell him you don't want to move but if he doesn't start fixing things around the house your going to have to move out. I wouldn't feel obligated to live somewhere you hate. I hate my career and I am working on changing that.
4. I would make more money. I hate being broke b/c of my credit card bills. I would have also never gotten into this mess in the first place. I really feel for you and your living situation. That's the worst, not liking where you live. Have you tried to get things done around the house to make it more livable. Whenever I don't like a situation I'm in, I try to do things to make it better. It helps me feel like I am in control of a situation, even though I'm not. Btw...kids are b@st@rds. I call them "treasures"...as in treasures I would like to bury. =) I hope your day gets better.
5. This is so crazy that you ask this......... I was actually pondering this very same question this morning! About why my life is the way it is. And going over things that I could've/should've/would've done differently. And I realized (just like you have in your statement), that sometimes things just aren't our choice. Sometimes we are obligated and get backed into a sticky situation . But that is just life. Stinks I know! If I could change one thing about my life it would be that I would've finished med school all the way and become an MD so that my hubby didn't work all the time and I could actually see him every once in a while. One addiction is the same as the next, alcoholic, workaholic, whatever it may be ya know. I think he uses his work as an excuse, but he sure has time to golf!
6. What I would change in my life would be : the lame excuse not to go to college my 2nd yr around, because I was expecting my 1st child. I thought I couldn't afford it and that I was needing to save up for my baby! My parent were some what mad but they didn't want to help me w/ college. Thats how I gave up so easy! Sorry your going through this! You can not say your suck, you are never suck! If its for the best of you & your family. Your dad should understand! If its going to make life better, do it! It's you & your family now!
7. I would give those nasty kids in your neighborhood a good talking to about smashing your gazing ball.
8. well, I wouldn't really change anything right now ... thankfully. even the sucky stuff that happens, seems to work out okay in the end. you sound kind of stuck though - I'm sorry. :O( maybe you could talk to your dad and tell him how you feel? or you can set up a YA account for him and hurry up and contact him so that he can read your question himself and then you won't have to say anything!! well you go ahead and rant all you need to, and I hope you're feeling a little better for it now ... and if it's any consolation to you, our microwave is in the BASEMENT. ;O)
9. ME ATAVAR 2 MARRY-Yours``?
10. I would make it so that my mom and dad loved each other again, because now, they are so unhappy.
