National Michelle's Dad Be a Poop Day!

Today was pretty good... until I got home. I called my dad because my retainer is breaking, and I needed to call my orthodonist to make an appointment and my dad started talking to me.. and he told me that he didn't think that he had enough money to drive to my house today and take me to Matteson. As ya know, gas is expensive and he said he didn't have the gas money and stuff. As you all know, in Exodus 20:12 it says, "“ Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you." In some other versions, it says be obedient. So, anywho, my dad started to ask me for money and I felt bad because I had to lie to him because my mom told me not to tell him that I have money because she doesn't want me to give him money that she gives me because it's like my mom giving him money, when he's the one who needs to give her money. So, yeah, I told him I didn't have any money. Then, he hung up on me. A few minutes later, he calls me back, and he asked me again if I had money and I told him the truth this time and said that my mom doesn't want me giving him money. Once again, my dad got angry and hung up on me. This is so hard to do. I have to be obedient to my mom and not give my dad my money that she gives me and then I have to be obedient to my dad.. some how.. and tell him the truth when my mom wants me to lie and my dad wants me to use my money for him.. so should I be obedient and do that? It's so hard and confusing. I don't know which one is right and which one is wrong sometimes. I use to lie all of the time for my mom, but a while ago, I gave up on that and started telling the truth to my dad. It always gets me in a big mess with him and then he starts yelling at me like he's yelling at my mom.. and no matter what, I'm always in a big mess. It's like one big circle, that I shouldn't even be in........ LET ME OUT!!! lol

    Mabey if you pray about it, God will help your dad out, by giving him the sense not to ask you for the money in the first place. I'll be praying for you! -kel

    The way I see it, you can do this without going against what either of your parents say. Your mom doesn't want you to give your dad money. so don't... and when he asks just tell him like you did. Eventually he will just not ask anymore. Or at least that is how I think it will work out... might be wrong... but.. who knows

    So.. lol.. I think the winner is my mom! ... I think it mostly just depends on my morals most of the time. What would Jesus do? and then like.. just basic right and wrong.
