It's usually the courts that decide which parent will have the child(ren) live with them. It's much more complicated that you are able to understand. Never fear, both parents love you very much, but sometimes, either the mother or father has a career, they could be poor and the father/mother can't afford to have someone look after you. Until you are of legal age you have to have a sitter. Try sitting down with both parents and tell them how you feel. Perhaps they can figure out something that you will be happy with. These are not reasons to leave: House rules Having to do chores Getting good grades in school Not staying out all night Not doing drugs or drinking too much Being cheeky to your parents If these are some of the reasons you want to leave, then grow up! Everyone has a job to do and you are no different. Why shouldn't you help out with chores? Be lucky you have parents at all because so many kids don't. If you think it's wonderful living out on your own or moving from one parent to the other you are in for a big surprise. Talk to your parents!
