so for my moms birthday, which is a month away, my parents are going to las vegas. the last time they went there was when we were at my aunts in california. my cousins were 9 and they went along with my 2 aunts and uncle and parents. i had to stay home with my aunts crazy husband. and they always told me the next time they were going, id go too. SO now my parents say that i cant go, which really pissed me off, but it didnt piss me off as much as their 2 excuses of why i cant go. they said that im "too young", im 13, and i dont see how im too young if my cousins went when they were 9, so i told that too my mom and she said "they didnt go anywhere", and i told her "yeah then how come i see them in all the pics?. so for the second bs excuse, well my dads parents arent the nicest people in the world and my moms side of the family hates them, so yesterday my mom was like "its your dads moms bday" and I said " WHAT *BLEEP* I HAVE TO STAY BECAUSE OF SOME BS U 2 SIDES OF THE FAMILY CANT AGREE ON?" so my freidns went there and had a good time, and i dont see why i dont get to go. :mad: so im going to have to be with my grandparents in their ancient house which doesnt even have regular tv. this sucks. so any ideas?

I think you are missing the point that your parents want to celebrate your mother's birthday together without company. Maybe they are looking forward to a vacation away from you. Not that this makes you bad or anything, just sometimes parents want to not have a child or children around so they can enjoy themselves completely as a couple.

You should sieze this opportunity to get to know your grandparents better. They have lived during times that you might find interesting. Ask them about what things were like when they were your age. If you build a bridge between you and them instead of a wall, the time will go by so fast you won't miss the regular TV.

I'll have to agree with Mich there. Although it is hard to take the truth, i find elders are smarter than us ten-fold even if we're an expert on the subject. Maybe it's because they've lived through it or experienced it themselves.

I've always been fascinated by stories my mother told me about my grandmother on my father's side. She was a rubber tapper and had to work all day to earn only a meager amount of money to survive. Life was horrible and she was even match-maked into marriage with an okay husband but has an ENORMOUS temper, anything would set him off steaming. The problem is that she can only speaka few basic words in English, any other words would have to be in Hakka, her native dialect, or her second mother tongue - Chinese. I was nine back then and my Chinese was pretty bad (failed Chinese almost every year

), then she passed away and i realized how awful it is that i didn't really get to know her because of the language difference.

So i say that you should really get to know your grandparents. They may be a nag or may have some nasty habits, but they cannot help that. What they can help is the stuff they can tell you about their lives before, and trust me, its usually good stuff ^^.

I agree what Mich and evion have posted but I would like to toss in a bit of reality not to be cruel and all. But I would recommend family therapy, although I can't tell what kind of enviroment you actually live in, just remember don't bring all that crap to your family when you have kids of your own.

i used to live in las vegas and i was like 8-10 years old when i did live there. it is really boring there for a young kid. but i would rather go to las vegas then sit in an ancient house with grandparents. but some little advice dont bug your parents about it they will probly just get more pissed off with you, then they might not want to bring you the next time they go. so just leave it at what they said and deal with it. and what you said about your parents sucking that might seem like that. but its probly not. just being mean

Honestly you think this is the worst, it's not. It's not your birthday, it's hers. Maybe they wanted to take the youngins' because they thought it'd be special. I'm sure there's a time in your life where they brought you somewhere, no brothers/cousins or anyone. Just put up with it is all I can say. Suck it up, go hang out with friends.

Think of it this way. Whether or not your parents are "nice" to you or not, without them you wouldn't be sitting here right now.

Yeah your parents do suck. My advice is to run away and to never show up until a big search begins and every single news station in America is looking for you. That'll show them. Then show up and make a false story about how someone abducted you and your off the hook and you'll parent will probably take you to Las Vegas and you'll be happy.

Just kidding. Just be a baby about it and ignore them, then they'll see that they hurt you and will take you somewhere

I've got a couple things to say.

1. 13 IS too young for Las Vegas. I went there at 14, and i personally though it was disgusting. There's little pictures taped to all the stop light with ads for you-can-guess-what on them. They're EVERYWHERE. The casinos are gross. We went to a buffet.... the non-smoking side was full, and would be for a while. So we sat in the smoking side. It was so gross, you couldn't even hardly breath. Then there's the fact that I wear contacts, that feel like you got a piece of sawdust in your eye when you get in heavy smoke.

2. You should respect your parents decision. You'll get your chance some day, and even if you went, you wouldn't enjoy it. Trust me. They know what's best for you, and it's their chance to go out by themselves. They always could've stuck you with someone else... your grandparents can't possibly be the worst you can think of...

My Parents Suck

Replying to tehyev
Dont worry...I jst gt in a fight my freaking 16 year old sister. Of all the mean things she did to me, my mom only blames me for everything and I'm only 12. I took a shower and played a harmless joke on her. I soaked her towel with water. Then my mom starts flippen out at me, and my sister keeps telling these lies. She uses cussing words to "show" that she is not lying, even though she is. She starts telling my mom what I did before that which wasn't anything. Then when my mom asked for my side of the story, my sister kept interrupting so I ddnt get any say. So my mom starts getting all mad at me and says she'll ground me. And to top it all off, my birthday is tomorrow.

Now my mom doesn't even want my side of the story cause she she thinks in lying. And I never lie, so I dnt even kno where she got that idea from.

I think his biggest point is that he felt he was lied to. IMO he has every right in the world to feel mad about that.

But Las Vegas is definitely a place that adults will most enjoy. Not that all parents who go to LV wield guns and watch porn mind you XD - I just think that as a young teen you would get pretty bored there. Oo Belagio with the fountains and Celine Dion concerts - pretty ho-hum if you ask me.

If you're still at your grandparents, see if you can get some interesting stories from them - say your writing a report for school if he's shy about it. Before my grandfather died I used to love hearing about his war stories (he was in WWII).

Anyways, try not to be too mad at your parents. If they did lie, they probably did so because it was the easiest way for them to achieve what they thought was best. No family is perfect. Try to forgive them for that.

I am sick of all these topics abotu people who have something either mean or bad about their parentss or rekatives. Do people these days have any respect for their elders at all? when I was growing up, you had to respect your parent and never tal bakcto them, which I did. But now a days it seems like kids are able to say anhting bad about their parent and think it is okay for some reason to do so? Does anybody know why they even have parents. They are there to protect you and give you a good life and by doing something that you don't agree with is most liekly a way of them showing how much they actuall care about and love you. And let me tell you something. Las vegas is NO place for a kid that is only at the age aorund 13-14. Sure they may have taken kids younger than you there, but those kids are sitl understanding things and probably won't see or notice any of the awful things that occur in Las Vegas. For you though, you are old enough to know that Las Vegas is full of drugs, violence, sex, and gambiling of course!!! Why the ***** would your praents ever want you to visit a place that has so much disgusting nature in it for you to view? Are you stupid are something. No probably just nieve.

But I don't want to be harsh on you because I know that all teens are goping to have conflict with their parents, but In my opinon, in this particular case your parents are right and your are most defintely wrong!
