How do I get my parents to buy me a horse?

paintlover asked:


I have found a wonderful horse. My parents say that they know I am responsible, mature, and committed to owning a horse. Mom had said that she wanted to lease a horse first, so I get to bond with the horse and to see if the horse and I connect. Now she says we aren’t going to, and she won’t tell me why. She and dad said that we can afford a horse, and everything, but she still won’t give. I have tons of horse experience- riding, training, and vet care. I have found an amazing place to board a horse, where we have to pay almost nothing- I just work off most of the board. I am getting certified in trimming and shoeing, so that gets rid of another cost. All my parents have to pay for is the initial cost of the horse which they said they could handle. Please help me!

dusti2526 asked:


I just found out (from the busdriver) that my 10 year old daughter and her friends (AND MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER;HER LIL SISTER WITH WHO IS 5) purposely missed bus today because they wanted to ride a different bus that their friends were on. They missed that one too and proceeded to ‘Walk’ 2 school which is a very busy rd/hwy to walk. They were stopped and put on another bus and my daughter then lied to her principal and told him i said she could ride another bus. I’m beyond floored, i am so distraught and shocked (she knows better, she does!!) i havent a clue what to do. I havent done anything yet but tell her to sit on her bed and wait for me, but i feel if i go in there right now (yes i have bad temper, all bad emotions turn into anger with me) i’m just going to scream or beat the hell out of her. Her dad’s on his 3rd tour to Iraq and has been gone 10months already, due to come back next week for first time since leaving and will only have 14 days and have 2 go back. PARENTING ADVICE?!?

I need help dealing with my husband’s ex, the mother of my stepson. I need practical advice, that I can use myself (since my husband won’t deal with the situation). I’d appreciate a link to a site, or the name of a book, that you highly recommend. Thanks so much!
