PLEASE DONT GET PUT OFF THIS BECAUSE IT IS LONG!
Ok so there is this really cool dancing place.
I went there for like 2 lessons because the first few are free.
I reeeealy liked it and wanted to continue.
But my parents are divorced, and cannot even talk for 10 seconds without yelling and abusing, etc.
My dad says he pays child support or whatever, but so does my mum.
Mum said she is happy to pay half of the dancing lessons and dad pay half, because mum cant afford to pay for all of it, and that wouldnt be fair.
But then my dad says he wont go halves because he cant afford it because he pays child support.
What do i do?!!
Please dlont suggest sitting them down and talking to work it out, because that is not possible. Dont even say to try it please.
And I offered to pitch in, because I have been saving up my money for awhile now.
But mum and dad both said that wasnt fair.
pleeeease help this is urgent and really important to me!
I have even been entering competitions in this magazine I get to win money to pay for it!? I am that deperate. what do i do?
When i said they cant talk for 10 seconds, i meant together.
I tried to convince them aswell, but that didnt work.
Thanks anyway thogh, answer 2!
 
You should sit down with each of them (separately because they won't together) and tell them that they are your parents, they should support you in what you want to do. that is their job. tell them that you should be active, it would be healthy for you, tell them everything you feel, and tell them that you love them, but not in a cheesy way. then do this on both of them and say if i can get mom/dad to pay for half, will you please? i have even saved up some money for me. you know how you love to do (say what they really love to do that means aA lotto them) and i really love dance. but if one of them starts yelling at you, say please don't yell, we can talk and just handle this without yelling. you should be the bigger person. i hope this helps you! and you can also tell your other family members that you really want to and explain the situation, get them on your side to talk to your parents, and if you are lucky maybe they will help pay!
 
OMG! I am reeeealy surprised at one of the answers you got back. Some people really are mean! i am glad that there are teens like yourself who are looking into a subject that can offer you a scholarshp, keep you healthy, socializing in a good mannor, etc. Look, i feel that if your pops can really see how important this class is to you, he will do what he can to see it fit you attend! i was in your shoes girl. i wish you the best of luck.
++pray on it++
 
Try to talk to your dad alone with out your mom there, and convince him that it means a lot to you that you do the dance classes. Don't try to nag them, or put them in the room together seeing they can't talk together with out issues. If you really want to do it, then it will work out.
