i can get an amel stripe het caramel female, a caramel stripe het amel, an ultramel het caramel (maybe stripe or motley) and a female butter stripe, and get nice stunning babies. wen i asked my mum she sed straight away let me speek to your dad this froday. i text my dad after that and he sed he would speak to her 2morow. i think this is a promising one. i am not getting my hopes up to much tough incase they do say no but i am hoping they say yes as mum sed she did like this one. |

Ok, guys, explanation time for everyone who got confused over who is writing under my profile:
When you see a post written in black and without any intro, it's the Eye talking, meaning, mum, who's 47 years old. When you see a post written in blue and at the start of it there is something like, "Hawk here" then it's the Hawk, who's 14 years old.
Like it says in the profile: "We are in fact two people here. The Hawk, who's 14, and Eye, his ever-watchful mum, who's 47 as the profile says."
So far in this thread, it's been the Eye talking.

lol, from reading through this thread instantly after having a massive argument with my mum, I can conclude that parents are either useless, stubborn, or wonderful.
If you have the third, I envy you  |

i wasn't allowed snake's when i lived with my parents.............i didn't get my first corn till years later and i had my own house.
just because kids say 'i want..........' doesn't mean they automatically get, not even when they say please  |

Wow Hawk, didn't realise you were only 14. You sound very mature when I read your posts, much older than 14 - I guessed about 19 or 20
quote:
I'll tell you what the Hawk did one day, some months ago. He came over to me and asked if he could have a word. He then reminded me he wasn't a baby anymore and could handle more than I was perhaps giving him credit for. He then looked me in the eye, told me some of his observations of what was going on, and asked directly: "What's wrong?" So I told him.
Sounds like you guys have a great relationship - you're growing a good one there Eye, well done . |

I can understand why you want that snake so badly, she/he is really beautiful. Hope you manage to convince your mum. |

I know Hawkeye seems confusing, but she is actually 2 people!! Hawk is her 14yr old son who posts on here sometimes and Eye is the mum who is the main poster, Hawk/Eye = Son/Mother

Fingers crossed for you.

Ok. It sounds like she doesn't want to deal with it right now and is trying to duck down from under. Which makes me wonder if she's got a lot on her mind right now, worrying about your dad being away, feeling she's got too much on her hands already, something. And, does she feel you're too young to talk to and tell what's really bothering her.
I'll tell you what the Hawk did one day, some months ago. He came over to me and asked if he could have a word. He then reminded me he wasn't a baby anymore and could handle more than I was perhaps giving him credit for. He then looked me in the eye, told me some of his observations of what was going on, and asked directly: "What's wrong?" So I told him.
I don't know if this kind of thing would work with your mum, but perhaps it's worth talking to her, without mentioning the snake and not in order to get her to allow you to get the snake, but for the purpose of finding out what goes on and seeing if you can make a difference for the better. If this also results in her allowing the snake, great. But it's worth it even if all you get at this point is knowing what she's really concerned about and the two of you being more of a unit rather than two individuals each trying to solve a problem.
How does all of this sound?

thats wat my mum sed. it was "wait till we done your bedrrom up....." she ahs been saying we will do my bedroom up for 6 months now and wen i bring up the topic she just says "i dunno y" wen i ask her wen we r gunna do it. i will speak to her tonite but i bet she will say wait till your dad gets home from afganistan and we will talk then, then might be too late for the one i wanty! |

I get angry when I hear such replies  they are unacceptable and are an effort to assert control. I'm not saying a parent should justify themselves, but I am saying that when I hear such a response from anyone I lose respect for that person. If they don't want to share they can always say, "I don't want to get into the reasons at this point, I understand it's frustrating and I'm not doing it to you intentionally, it's just that right now is not a good time and it's not because your wishes are not sufficiently important to me." And, promise to open the subject again when things change. Something like that, anything, just not leave the other person with the unfair "because I said so."

I think you are right, and it's annoying that they don't see their preoccupation with how they seem on the outside actually resulsts in unnecessary frustraion to others.

Well done Danny, I have the same problem with my dad, and I'm 21....
His best reason to date has been- "because I said so". You sound like you are doing a fantastic job, but try not to get too disheartened if your mum still refuses to give in. Sometimes parents are as stubborn as mules because they don't want to lose face or seem like a pushover.
If you make it seem like her idea or like she will be getting something out of it (eg: you will take on the washing of the kitchen floor from now on) then maybe she would soften toward the whole thought. Good luck! x |

I am really impressed with you reptiledanny. You show so much maturity in the way you have researched and cared for Monty and the way you have saved your money, working out all the costs and everything. Lots of adults dont even do that. If I was your mum I would be proud of you!
