Family Problems

I totally agree with you on that!

Slammed, dude in all honesty, it sounds to me like you actually have a dad that cares for you. For him to call you that many times a day regularly is extremely rare. It sounds like he actually wants to be part of your life and wants you to share your life with him. Man if my dad wanted that I would have passed out lol.

I know he "could" have held the truck over your head a time or 2 too many. But knowing it's the most important thing to you, he knows cuz he's been there too lol, he believes it is the one thing that's going to make you think the most about what you could/should have done differently....once the anger fades

Honestly dude, you've got one life, one childhood, and one real opportunity to enjoy life. Make the best of it and hang out with your parents some. Your dad is calling you for a reason, you just haven't caught on to it yet. He knows you're not going to be his "lil boy" anymore soon and man it scares him to death. Get back to your dads, apologize to him, and explain....if it's brought up again..why you "walked off" from him. Tell him you love him and you don't want to upset him. Let him become your best friend cuz dude that's what he should be.



Disclaimer: I have no kids lol, but I work with them, (church youth), and I've been one so hopefully I know half of what I say

tru tru, im just trying to by time right now and let this situation settle down

At least you have a dad man, be thankfull for that, my dad walked out when I was 7, and im 16 now, never talked to him since... sometimes life gets mixed up but you just gotta put it together and appreciate it.

^^i havent talked to my dad in 20 yrs. i do agree to be greatful you have a dad. i wish i had one.

humm im kinda in the same situation. mine wont let me get my license...no permit or anything. i have jack shit at the moment but from what iv heard, once ur 18 and u get ur permit u only hafta wait 2 weeks instead of the 6months...so on june 30 when i turn 18 im havin a friend take me and all that. so u may wonder what excuses they have came up with, just to name a few : grades, cant find my ss card, cant find my birth cirt., burnouts, tickets, speeding, not coming home on time...many more it just pissed me off to go thru all of it. - bf
ps does anyone else no bout the 2 week deal?

my dad passed away when i was 5(suicide) and i dont agree with hotdawgs remark about you little punks yatta yatta.grannit im only 20 but i have always had to be them man in the house even when my step dad was still with my mom.i have been working since 13 trying to help out and when your step dad takes your vehicle away when he didnt pay for since he didnt have a job gives him no right,i dont care what the circumstances are.i guess my point is the way you made it seem is that all teenagers are punks when they get butt hurt about getting something they care about taken away .i could be wrong and i dont mean to point you out.but to an extent slammed was not in the wrong cuz technically he didnt do anything wrong.it was an accident.as long as he cools down and goes back to his father to talk it out and get feelings mutual again then there isnt anything wrong with going to his moms house.just needs to take a break.ok im done rambling

ya hybrid im glad you took my side on this situation, as soon as the dust settles between me and him ima go and talk to him and settle this. lifes to short to ahve enemys.

Hell at least he calls you, I moved out to colorado when I was 19 I lived there for 2 yrs. I only talked to my folks 2 times and both times I called them!!! Though that still does piss me off they really arent phone people and if I ever need any help with anything they are always there so I guess it kinda averages out in a way.

Hybrid, not every situation is as cut and dry as I made it out to be. I was going by what Slammed wrote and the responses to him by y'all.

Most of the responses, (if I remember correcty, I haven't looked again), in the beginning for "yeah I agree with you man. Parents have no right to take our vehicles away for any reason". lol emphasis mine.

But really, yes I believe parents, even step parents, have the right to use your vehicle as punishment if so needed. I can't say I'd agree with every situation etc. that a parent decides to use the vehicle in that manner.

Blackmail for just anything is wrong. But, if it's legit for the parents to use the vehicle against you, then hey no matter what they have the right. There are some that will use it too much...trust me I know that to. But being as how it is the most important thing to you, it's gonna be the one thing they're going to hit it up the most.

But you have to agree...atleast most of us "old people" will agree lol...that todays teens do believe that most punishments are wrong and that they are "above" punishment. It was true in my day as well When we turn 14-18 we begin to rebel against our parents and we begin to feel we're old enough to know what we are doing...sometimes even better than them. But I'm here to tell ya...YOU'RE WRONG, lol.


I don't mean to generalize, really. I work with some really good kids so I know there are some who don't feel like it seems most do about their parents, and are truly good kids trying to do right.

"When it comes time to leave this world for a better world someday-the only thing you take with you is what you gave away".Trucks rust and fall apart-relationships often last forever.You have a Dad so swallow a little pride, forget the damn truck, tell him you love him and figure out how to get along.I am a Dad with 4 kids and it aint easy being a Dad or a kid.BJ
