So i tuned 18 like a month ago and i can actually do stuff without needing parents signature... i wanted to get a bike so i went ahead bought some ride gear , signed u for a motorcycle safety course for which is really really good and i recommend it to those who ride but learned on their own .... anyways , my dad found out after i went for the first session in the course and is against the idea completely ! he said to forget about it and not even bother finishing the course and even return my gear and stuff.... i tired explaining how it can be safe depending on the driver( he thinks i am an insane driver because he drivers slower than the average grandma while i am a bit more spirited) and the techniques plus i am planning to buy a pretty slow bike ! ( GS500F ) .... he is also against me customizing the car in any form , he is against engine swap, lowering and what not ..... so what should i do ?????
Things i need to mention : 1-i cant move out ... i from Egypt ( probably only Egyptian with a 6gc woot!) and as culture dictates , it is not so ok to move out 2-Even if i moved out because of school or whatever, i still have to get his permission for everything ( culture too) So ya , i am pretty much screwed ....... uh , i just needed to rant !! thanks if u bothered reading this |

QUOTE My parents raised me caringly always treat me like an aldult, we have much respect for each other. All opinions are discussed together at dinner table and the pros and cons were outlined, Im grateful that i turned out the way am im now so dont go and say you will get nowhere when you dont know the person to talking to, at all... damn lubu ur a lucky one. never really had that n since i turnd 18 i've been pretty much on my own. nader, i understand the bullheadedness about family tradition. my dad tried to enforce his own ways (he's samoan) onto our family but it just didnt work out with my mom all the time (she was hispanic) so mine n my siblings' lives came out a lil more 'free' than most others. but now im pretty much on my own. i talk to my dad maybe 2wice a month..at the most. n now it sjust me my dad my bro n sis. n im not at home anymore n pretty much a stranger at times n dont get to see any1. just be glad your dad is actually there for you cuz even tho he's stopping you rite now, you know he will be helping you back up if you ever need it. but neways, i think that you should respect your dad's wishes. you just turned 18. give it a lil time you got your whole life ahead of ya n he just has to get used to you being able to do stuff on your own. your time will come..just gotta have that good 'ol patience. and respecting his wishes right now will just help you out in the long run. -------------------- ![]() Pandelica 2.0 in progress. |
