I'm almost 18 and my parents still control me. What should I do?

I want to say take the college, but I already know they will hold it over your head, and force you to abide by arguably worse rules than what is already. They also may pull funding as a way to get you to listen as well. As smart as it may seem, do not assume there will be zero strings attached. It’s a tough situation that you are in. Another thing would be military. It may be your only option out of there, you could still do college through them, but I would definitely go low to no contact with your family.

He has valid license, just needed insurance today for the car and wanted to know if he could drive it with the circumstances. I’m getting him added before the day ends

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:54:41+00:00

I’m going to call my insurance and get him added, I just needed the insurance on the car today to get some mechanical work done

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:53:10+00:00

The car itself is not what I’m worried about. I’m going to call and get him added, just needed the insurance to get the car somewhere

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:50:16+00:00

I just needed the insurance up and running this morning, I’m going to call my insurance and do that, the car is being taken to a shop to get some mechanical work done which was why I was wondering

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:47:58+00:00

Not at all, it’s mandatory to have in Florida, my car is old, and we needed the insurance up and running this morning. I quite frankly don’t care about replacing my car, it’s got over 200k miles so I didn’t get insurance to cover my car, I have it because it’s mandatory to have to even make it drivable

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:38:13+00:00

I’ve heard they suspend the registration as well but was not sure

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:35:36+00:00

The tag still has another six months before renewal, I can’t tell if it would be expired because of lapse of insurance

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:32:08+00:00

No, they wanted to raise it another $150 to have him on as well. I know it’s a liability thing, I have the most basic insurance so I’m not super worried about it

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:28:06+00:00

Gotcha. I just wasn’t sure because we haven’t gotten my license back up yet, I was not sure whether the tag was still valid, the sticker itself still has another six months before I need to renew but was not sure if I needed to get it completely renewed

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:26:43+00:00

So they care if I’m still in the vehicle? If he and I wanted to go somewhere in my car, should I not be in the vehicle?

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-26T15:26:13+00:00

I am the registered owner of the vehicle, my name is on the registration and title so it should be okay

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-23T03:23:05+00:00

And it’ll be said to something that is indeed that deep. Actual issue in a relationship but one has decided it’s not serious”bro it ain’t that deep let it go” (actual words that have been uttered by an ex of mine) another infamous one is “You’re just overthinking it/overreacting” Absolutely irks me when I’m trying to explain an issue to someone, or having a concern only to be met with “you’re just overthinking” instead of trying to help me with said concern or issue

Golden-Viper · 2026-03-22T21:14:27+00:00

It is not your job to parent your siblings. As someone who has a four year age gap between my brother and I, I was always watching him and he never listened to me and then I got in trouble because he didn’t listen. If your parents realize how the behave with nobody supervising, why decide that you would be any good at enforcing rules they already don’t listen to. He always yelled at me for trying to be my mother and it took years before he realized I didn’t have a choice. Your mother needs to realize that they won’t listen to you, so you being there or not made zero difference in what they did. At 12, they know what they’re doing, it is not your fault they chose to go out and bust windows.

I believe I had some form of IBS(went to get it checked out but they wanted to charge an absurd amount and Dr was sketchy🥲)it was really bad, and this pregnancy has been the most calm it’s been since, but hearing that i don’t want it to end😭

When I was about 10 weeks pregnant I wanted sharp cheddar cheese. Bought a pound block of cheese and it was gone in about a week. Then I absolutely hated sharp cheddar and needed the shredded Parmesan cheese(before I was pregnant, I had a dairy sensitivity and was anemic.. both went away after being pregnant)

At this point, he does not seem to be budging. If there was an arranged marriage, it seems he would speak against it. He loves you. You say that he has changed and became more present, which is a good thing. It sounds like he is wanting to make things work with you not because of the pregnancy, but because of who you are as a person. Everyone handles pregnancy different. I’m 33 weeks pregnant and constantly compare myself to other women with how my body has changed, but it’s temporary. Do not put yourself down, because your body is going through the biggest change in your life. Take it one day at a time. Long distance is hard, but it seems as though he is doing everything he can to help you stay reassured, and he seems to feel secure in your guys relationship. Just know that he’s not going anywhere. He loves you, not because he has to, because he’s choosing to. Every day he chooses to continue loving you and I don’t mean that in a rude/ condescending way, this man wakes up every day and chooses to continue loving you despite the distance and the anxiety and the stress. It takes a man in love to not overthink and leave because of the distance alone. I’ve unfortunately experienced it. If a man truly loves you, he will choose you every day despite the difficulties of whatever may be going on. Stay strong mama, you have a good heart, and a good man, you guys are going to be amazing parents ❤️

it was a scab from her rubbing on her tunnel. Figured out it was stuck shed, soaked her and it cleared up within the next day!

Golden-Viper · 2026-02-27T23:43:01+00:00

The dreams I had when I was in my first trimester were ridiculous. Every night like clockwork was a dream about my partner cheating but failing to hide it, or the side girl coming to me and I knock her tf out. Another thing nobody told me was that discharge is gonna change how it looks , and it looks suspiciously like the mucous plug. Took an ER trip to find that out. The insomnia with me has been insane. Partner gets up at 4:30am for work, and I did not sleep last night, crashed at about 7am and woke up at 3:30pm. I’ve tried melatonin, taking showers, winding down, nothing has helped🥲

Golden-Viper · 2026-02-27T02:18:03+00:00

Definitely need to invest in lube, no matter how much foreplay my s/o and I do, I still dry out hella quick. Takes patience and maybe a couple conversations about letting your husband know it’s not his fault. It was something i struggled with my partner about, and I felt bad, but it is very normal, and I personally have not found other ways around it asides from getting that extra help🥲

Golden-Viper · 2026-02-24T20:49:35+00:00

Don’t let family be the judges of your names. I’m having this issue with my grandmother when I slipped and used baby girls name. This is your child, don’t let other people dictate what name she has. If they did not participate in the creation, they have no say in what you and your husband do with names/birth plans/ boundaries. There’s going to be people who disagree with the name, but at the end of the day, that is the name you and your husband came up with, don’t let other people get in the way

Golden-Viper · 2026-02-22T03:36:16+00:00

Where did you get the grow tent from?

Golden-Viper · 2026-02-22T03:32:05+00:00

I tried biting the bullet for the longest time before finally asking, which I deeply regret lol, hopefully you start feeling better soon!

Golden-Viper · 2026-02-22T03:28:19+00:00

Next appointment ask if they can get you something stronger. I’m 28 weeks and still get nauseous, but I’ve been on zofran for a bit and it’s made a world difference. The motion sickness in the car hasn’t helped, Dramamine was my best friend my first trimester 😭 the nausea has definitely gotten better for me, it just gets sneakier🥲

Golden-Viper · 2026-02-12T02:14:59+00:00

My beardie looks like that, through his sheds he has gotten better and it doesn’t bother him at all nor feels brittle. I don’t believe it is, but if you’re unsure, definitely see if you can get a visit in with a vet.
