ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

My dad's unemployed--and wants to hang out 24/7

 
My dad lost his job a while ago. At first, it was nice to have him home, but he’s home A LOT. We get along and everything, but I think he wishes I’d spend more time with him than I do.

 

Dear Stay-at-Home Dad,

I bet your dad wishes her were busier—and getting regular paychecks again. I know this situation is hard on you, but it’s helpful to remember that it’s hard on him, too. You can always say, “Dad, let’s talk later, I have to plow through my homework now,” or, “Dad, when Julia leaves, will you have time to run an errand with me?” In other words, make it gently clear when you are not available.

 

Also, think about what you like to do with your dad. Cook? Run? Watch movies? Shoot hoops? Try to spend your time together in a way that works for you. Finally, there’s no crime in hanging out at friends’ homes now and again.

I have like one itchy red dot on my chin and a couple if itchy red dots around
My bottom lip I don't think it's acne my mom said it could
Just be try skin but I'm not sure it hurts a little if I rub or scratch it
Also sometimes it gets flaky

 

hey girl! that sounds like dry skin to me. or it could be an allergic reaction to a beauty product. if you've noticed the flare-ups since you started using a new foundation/concealer/etc, try stopping it for a week and see if that helps. if it's dry skin, make sure to not over-wash your skin (DON'T exfoliate to try and get rid of the flakes either, it'll only make them worse!) and use a good face moisturizer both morning and night.

So, I've been friends with this girl since around my first day at my new school. Recently, she stopped talking to me. Then, she was talking about me behind my back to my best friend. Then, she posted on Instagram some really mean things about me, stuff like how I was really mean and rude and she was telling people to ignore me because I was a bad person. But I'm being 100 percent honest when I say that I did absolutely nothing. What should I do?

 

Hey girl, I would talk to her about it. Or write her an e-mail. It's totally uncool that she's doing this to you! Let her cool off for a little bit. She might just be dealing with some stuff and unfortunately taking it out on you. So give it some time and try to approach her.

My parents are getting a divorce and I fell stuck in the middle because I am an only child. I don't know who to go with but it seems my mom has decided I'm goin with her. The problem is latelymi haven't been getting along with her. I feel like she is only thinking about her self lately and not reapply paying any attention to me and it doesn't feel good. Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough for her and that I'm not perfect. She gets mad at me a lot but I don't know why it seems every little thing I do makes her mad. I just wish she would give me more attention! She also is being really rude to my dad but he didn't really do anything she just said he wasn't giving her enough attention but she wouldn't exactly let him because she was always on the computer so when she was on the computer he would spend time with me which I don't Mideast inlove my dad and I don't want him to leave. He doesn't want to leave either the whole situation is just my mom! I'm so stressed and lost please help
