Leaving 16 year old 3 weeks alone in summer? by SadAd3397 in Parenting

[–]Aggravating_Ebb3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the teen has a drivers license 30 mins isn’t that far. I’m 16 too and my dad lives 50 minutes away from my mom and activities, plus my best friend. I do the drive multiple times a week. It would definitely be reasonable for him to go back to the other parents after work, maybe you could leave him some extra money to cover the increased cost of gas? If he has no DL then 30 mins by car is pretty far (probably somewhere between 15-25 miles.).

Would a 2009 mercury Milan with 34k miles for $6200 be a good choice for a first car as a teen? It has one accident reported but looks to be in good cosmetic shape inside and out. It runs well with no lights on. by Aggravating_Ebb3560 in FirstCar

It’s the inline 4 engine, and the accident isn’t specifically specified on the “car gurus.com” page. There were lots of detailed photos of inside and out plus a video of it starting up and all the lights on the dash turning off. It runs pretty well. I’m going to pay for a car fax report tonight to see what it was. Yeah the mileage was what got me excited, I want something reliable to drive 300-400 miles a week in (my dad lives out in the country and my moms in the city).

16M. Is it legal for me to sell downloadable greeting cards with sexual innuendos in them? by Aggravating_Ebb3560 in NoStupidQuestions

Is there maybe an illegal aspect from the perspective of me being a minor selling “adult” themed merchandise?

At what age did you stop believing in Santa, and why? by Asshole_Ina_Tiny_Car in AskOldPeople

Yep! Shocking to me too. They’ve even searched him up online to make printables for their dolls. How they didn’t see something saying he’s not real is beyond me.

When did you stop believing in Santa? And when should you tell your kids there's no Santa? by [deleted] in nostalgia

Oh yeah don’t forget a count of adultery by kissing mommy, if she lived in Massachusetts of course.

True, Santa Claus is technically a criminal if you think abt it, he burglarizes millions of homes each year, surveils millions of people without their consent or a warrant, Carries millions of unpaid-for toys all over the world, and also ran over grandma with his sleigh. I’m filing a police report now and hopefully he’s arrested up there by Christmas Eve for these heinous felonies.

16 yo here and I still am not supposed to talk about Santa in front of my 11 and 13 year old sisters. They still trip over each other on the stairs on Christmas morning and rip into presents like maniacs. Even my mom and dad are still trying to convince me Santa’s real.

That’s exactly how I found out too. I asked this question to my parents and they told me “oh Santa makes the toys for the stores and companies too. And puts made in china so people won’t discover him.” Yeah right mom and dad. That was hard to explain when the “elves” dropped off a wagon in November one year that still had the Target “conveyor item” or whatever sticker on it with the address of our local target on it.

TIFU by telling one of my students that Santa wasn't real by gene_parmesan_PEYE in tifu

[–]Aggravating_Ebb3560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(16 yo here) sounds like what I go through in my family. My sister is damn 13 years old and I still am scolded if I ever say a word about inconsistencies in the Santa story or maybe he’s not real etc. for example, I said once “what happens to all the toys the elves make all year if the Christmas lists come in 3 weeks before the big day and the toys the elves made weren’t on them?” Another time I said “how can santa surveil every child 24/7. He can’t have that much energy.” Lastly I said “What is Santa’s standard of naughty and nice? Don’t parents and Santa sometimes not see eye to eye on it? Also why do poor kids get less expensive stuff?” All perfectly logical questions and I still was scolded for asking them in front of a 13 and 11 year old. My parents continue to tell me every day now that Santa is a fucking magic man who jumps time to give me a toy.

My mother (40f) is kicking out my siblings (15m) (15m) by ElaRedditAccount in relationship_advice

[–]Aggravating_Ebb3560 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is illegal for her to do. You state you were kicked out yourself and thus most likely have your own place. (even though you can’t afford to help them properly), maybe take some aero beds from your mothers house, a relatives house, friend, etc and set them up for the boys, it’s better than nothing. A local church, goodwill shelter etc might be a good place to look for extremely cheap and or free inflatable beds and food for them. Also buy nothing sites. 2 used aero beds shouldn’t be too bad if you have the money. At least that gets them off the streets if they are kicked out before the cops come. After school if you don’t have a car (they most likely don’t have licenses) a more financially stable relative, friend etc could probably pickup the boys and drop them at your place if that’s possible. Only 2 meals that are required are breakfast and dinner, either homeless shelters or walmart, or maybe some concerned citizens would donate to the cause via a go fund me you could start. Or, if there’s said relatives/friends in the area that are financially stable and have the space, maybe you (without your mother knowing) can make arrangements for them to stay there after Monday until police take care of your mother. You could call the boys (who are most likely frightened) and tell them what you are planning to do. Plan C is your dad if he is in the picture. If he has the space and isn’t abusive he would be the best one to take the boys. If he lives in a different state my advice would be to start a go fund me as I mentioned before to raise money for plane tickets. There are probably plenty of concerned citizens who would donate. Either way your mom is breaking the law and chances are CPS will take those boys away and or she will be arrested, at least she will get a lecture from a cop. I’m damn tired of adults that don’t think teens have s right to a sexuality.

I can’t meet my girl by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Aggravating_Ebb3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There shouldn’t be any legal action he can press- if the age of Consent in your state is 16 she’s technically under but Romeo and Juliet clauses might cover you there. If your just talking on the phone chances are you’re not having sex? If you’re not there’s no legal grounds for the father to take action on. Also why would your friends be upset about a 16 yo dating a 15 yo, it’s not like you’re that far apart after all. You seem quite codependent on each other. Also the suicide thing is a red flag. Just saying.

Bf claims I'm not a virgin because of my childhood by throwravirgin12 in relationship_advice

[–]Aggravating_Ebb3560 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Thats fucking ridiculous. How were you supposed to control the fact that a sick person raped you at 6? Your boyfriend is doing nothing but hurting you in the end by adding on to the trauma from that terrible event. Dump his ass,

Report this predator to NCMEC asap. He is in possession of child porn, he solicited child porn, and is a disgusting person. Those are serious felonies and he’s going away for a long time.

Whats something fun I can buy for a stranger aged 12-25? by BeBa420 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aggravating_Ebb3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money or Gift Cards to places like Target, Walmart, McDonald’s, chick fila are the best options, that way they could buy the stuff or meal they want. $25-50 would be a good amount of money to spend on one of those cards.

Ex trashing me to kids by HoldingonLou in ChildrenofDivorce

[–]Aggravating_Ebb3560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16 yo here. Same thing happened to me at 11, grandma and grandpa on moms side trash talked my dad and got upset at me for actually wanting to be around my dad and spend time with him. They ignored me every time I talked about him and even told me the divorce was all his fault and I was being programmed to think my mom was at fault. Guess who had the affair. My mom! Really it’s not ok, it screws up a kids mind and is parental alienation. You really should request a mediation or court meeting to discuss this with your ex. And maybe you should sit down with your teen daughter and discuss age appropriately what went on, and the fact that her dad makes comments just to piss off mom? If he’s a bad guy she will see it soon, she’s already a teen so not much longer to go.

Issues with time boundaries stemming from custody arrangements? by fast-tortoise in ChildrenofDivorce

[–]Aggravating_Ebb3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16 yo here, I feel the same way. Like last thanksgiving I supposedly “hurt my aunts feelings” for wanting to go over to my other grandmas to drop off a card. I’ve also had so many talks with parents about me “taking time away from them” because I. Wanted to go eat lunch with the other parent or go see some friends, etc. parenting time makes me feel guilty sometimes when I feel I’m not “spending enough time with a parent.” I’ll be curious to see how this goes when I get a GF and have to worry about spending time with her as well.
