Okay. So I am currently living with my parents and older sister. My sister is 18 and is never home so I’m really the only teen left in the house almost all the time as I am homeschooled... anyway, lately I have been feeling like a burden. My mom watches the grandchildren ( a 7 month old and a 3 year old) every week day and my dad left a big company last year and is now working for himself, which has caused a big struggle in their marriage because he is rarely home, as well as a huge cut in income. Also my mom has said multiple times she never looks forward to anything and feels like she doesn’t have a life, ontop of all of that my parents are struggling financially, today we got a $1200 dentist bill for my dads root canal, and as I said my dad is self employed so our income has gone very low compared to what it used to be. I never ask my parents for money, but I did need fillings on my molars last year and I still need some, but I don’t want to remind my mom... I also feel like me and mom don’t get to spend much time together because she is always tired or babysitting (unpaid watching her grandchildren) and I’m turning 16 in less than a month and I feel like my teenage years are speeding by and we don’t get to do fun mother daughter stuff at all. And finally along with that I’m turning 16 and I will need financial help with buying a car, my parents never pay for their kids cars, they usually just pay half the cost, but I still don’t know if they could afford that, and I hate asking them to drive me places as well..... I know this is so long but I just feel like a huge burden and it’s just really stressful, if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
