Are my parents being unreasonable?

[INACTIVE_USER]

Well, we just had a "family meeting" - normally bad news when my parents call one of these. Well, my parents are considering moving again. They do not know where or when but are seriously considering moving. My family and I all love travelling but this is getting over the top. When we moved to Spain I thought that we were going to live there and now we're in Ireland and only God knows where we will end up now.
Are my parents being unreasonable by fulfilling their dreams? I have had to learn how to use Spanish & now English fluently. I've just settled down to another life here with more new friends but it may not last long. What can I say to them or should I just put up with it?

[enzenzz]

Why are you moving? Is it for financial reasons or do they just want to be somewhere new?

You should first consider their reason why.

[INACTIVE_USER]

It is definitely not for financial reasons - they just love travelling like I but I really do not want to move - the only place I want to go is home

You are reaching the age where school exams become very important. Your parents need to realise that and to be honest its kind of irresponsible of them to move you around if it risks fucking that up.

[KillerKing]

Well, I've never heard of people who like travelling to move somewhere just because, usually they just visit places. But, Yes, I think they are being a bit irresponsible too. I think you should tell them that you just want to stay where you have friends at least until you finish your education.

[enzenzz]

You need to tell them what you feel.

If they really want to move out, maybe suggest that you would want to stay, maybe in boarding school or something.

[INACTIVE_USER]

Ii don't think I would be allowed stay on my own. But I'm worried abput falling behind in school :/ I will talk to them and see what they say

[swimmerjeff]

I think that's totally unreasonable and hard to expect you to try and keep up with their every moving whim... with school and friends and stuff I'd imagine that's really hard on you :(

[ProBaller40]

Please let us know what happens, if u feel comfortable talking about it.
I'm sure its hard not having any stable friends, because of moving away so many times.

[Mrs.KermitTheFrogx]

You 14 ... !
Soon your going to be doing GCSE's
you parents cant keep moving you it will slowly bring down your knowledge
exsplain this to them !
Its not fair making you learn lots of new languages ...
exsplain this and tell them you dont want to go :)
GoodLuck Emil :)x

[INACTIVE_USER]

I'm going to try and convince them that if we move AGAIN we move back to Eindhoven

[Mrs.KermitTheFrogx]

haha
its not fair making you keep move ...
Would you like to go back home ? x

[INACTIVE_USER]

Would you like to go back home ? x

Of course - that'd be my dream

[Mrs.KermitTheFrogx]

Well tell them that then
but you need to be in a stable home now your coming up to tests
Just make sure it doesnt effect your education :)X

[Fushigi]

well home is where ur families are.. well u can talk to them that u can travel by not staying in such place where u can stay where do u want to stay ... im sure they will understand you.... and say what u r feeling about moving in and out


hope it helps :)

[Dunce]

If they only waited four more years you'd be finished your exams and they'd be able to travel without the risk of screwing with your education. And if you wanted, you might be able to stay on your own and not go with them.
Talk about it with them, I'm sure they'll understand and respect your concerns and you'll work something out.

I have a brother who is 9 thought too

[Weeping]

You could discuss it with your brother and see how he feels about this 'constant' moving. If he feels like you do (which I think he does, anyways a bit), go to your parents and talk about it all together. Tell them how you feel about moving all the time and ask them to at least stay in one place until the two of you have finished school! Otherwise they could screw your grades and everything up totally.

I hope it will work out in some way!

:hug:

[Ihaveleftforever]

Haha I've been living with host family since I move for hockey...it sucks though I know how you feel I wish I could live more at my "Home" constant moving around can be exciting but then also lonley and everything.

[Tristin.]

Im lucky in this sence i suppose, my parents have just moved house again, back to the UK. They have lived in 4 countries of the last decade, and me and my brother have stayed at school during the term time being boarders, it only effects us out of term time.

Tell your parents that if they are going to move, due to your exams comming up, could you board at your school?

[Donkey]

To be honest, yer, they are. You should talk to them and say how it will effect your education, social life and stability when they want to take their son on their cruise of the world.

I'm not sure if I'd like to board. It'd be my first time so I think it'd be weird

its weird at first, but after....8 or so years of it, im a veteran :P
just ask, its your education on the line

This sums up what I was going to say.
