    OK, I didn't relize that i didn't make myself clear of the situation. I understand why you all said what you can say but i wanna know if you think different after you hear more of why i don't think she should be trying to get a boyfriend.
    OK, One big reason i don't really wanna get into is that my sister (16), brother (7) and I (15) are not ready to have a man in our lives because we have all seen here in deathly situations because of men. Last time she was with a guy, she didn't care about anyone else, really she didn't. She didn't care that she was hurting us all and she always put him first and told him we didn't like him which also made us feel umcomfortable.
    Another reason is because she already is always busy and doesn't even have a job! She is always on the computer. She never spends time on us, she spends money on us and thinks that will do but having a man involved, that would just mean less time. I also don't trust anyone with my mom. She says her reasoning is because she wants to build a life of her own because we are growing up. Yea, my sister is but i am only 15 and my brother has another 11 years till he's even 18! Its just rediculous!
    I need help getting through to her and letting her know how i feel becase she thinks i'm just jealous and thats why i don't want her to have a bf, she doesn't know there's more to it. But every time i try to talk to her, she yells!

    Have you thought about the positive aspects that a proper male role model can bring to you and your family's life?

    You have worlds of experience dealing with negative father figures, perhaps you should help your mother in her quest. Help her find that someone who can benefit not just her, but you and your siblings too.

    Not all men are violent, not all men are drunks, some of us are not too bad at all.

    Thanks you ashley for your help. Thats what i was asking, help on how to get the point across to her. Like i said, my mind is not changing on this topic so telling me i'm selfish and what not is pointless, i i was asking for is help on how to get through to my mom. And i have seen my mom is bad situations because of men, i'm not just saying that, who hasn't? but my are real bad! My mom was heald at gun point infront of my sister and i as we watched helplessly in the car while they were on the side of the road. I don't trust any one any more. I will be ready when it has no effect on me and when i'm old enough to help her when she needs it. And yea, is it tooo much to ask for when i ask for a little of her time? I am still growing and need a mother but all she does is everything but spend time with us. Thank you so much Ashley. It seems like you understand and i'm going to try to talk to her about it like that because the other times was like while driving and that kinda thing. And thanks Bret, its nice hearing a males opinion but its not just that i don't trust anyone, and i do want her to be happy but she can be happy without a man and it sadens me to think she wants some one else to spend time with when she doesn't spend time with her own kids. Its really hard around here, she does nothing, me and my sister take care of cleaning, cooking and my brother, i think she needs to step in to that befor taking on another big thing like a boyfriend!
