i’m about to buy a 1999 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V6 (SOHC) in wedgewood blue, its a 2wd with ever option but the V8, questions are: what do u usually get in milage i’ve heard around 21 from owners, and also whats the size of the gas tank? i’m 16 and this is my first car and i’m totally in love with the explorer, it better keep on running unlike our 1998 5.9 Limited Jeep that had tranny failures 2 days after we bought it

Response:

Considering your 16 and this is your first car, you wont get near 21. Mayb 20 on the highway. I got my 96 Sport in 99 and have never gotten better than 20. I do drive it hard but in the city its usually 16-18 mpg. The SOHC is a much more powerful motor so yours will vary.

Response:

Ya, well so far, your comments seem overly centered on me, and draw attention away from Stacy and the problem with her son. I also get the sense that this is pretty much par for the course for her. This will not be the first time she asks for help, only to find her case misdirected, or usurped by someone who finds a third party more interesting than Stacy and her problem. It is so not my intent to turn her thread into a relative comparison of how much can be garnered from initial questions. I counted. Four of your responses are about me. ONE addresses Stacy. That’s not right. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> > Here is the OP again.  Please note that the OPer didn’t go into much > > detail, including what has been done to deal with the situation. > > Without more information, there is no way that you or anyone else can > > make a judgement call such as you have done. > Really?  What part of it? > How about, "This is a very vulnerable, troubled little child.

Ok, thank you for filling in a bit of your background. It was kind of you to say. I bet you were a handful too.

As I said…it was kind of you to say.  Do you know anything of your bio parents?

~~~ Yes, I was quite a handful!  to say the least!  : )    And still am…but that doesn’t mean that I’m a ‘bad’ person, or so I’m made out to be…in her eyes.  And you are quite right in saying that we butted heads…. we didn’t necessarily ‘like’ it, but we did…and still do…so I choose to speak to her when I want to talk to her, and choose to end the conversation if it is going in that dreaded, guilt-ridden direction.  I was raised feeling guilty for every damn thing I did…..whatever it was….bad or not. Elaine, I only wish I could explain to you in real words, instead of ‘type’, how this woman is…you may understand more where I’m coming from and the reasons why I feel the way I do.  It’s a wonder I have any confidence left at all.  And I do have confidence….I’m just still at the point in my life where I’m trying to figure out who I am and what life’s all ~~~ – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->  That does, in NO way, mean that I plan on > raising my child in that same manner.  Nor to I exemplify that to my > child. > That’s the main reason I’m looking for guidance. > …I refuse to raise my son > with the same belief system she had with me and if there’s a way to get > feedback from a diverse crowd the I’m all about it.  My mother thought > that > being overly-strict and whipping my ass every chance she got was the most > effective way to ‘deal’ with me….not to mention her views that if you’re > not Catholic then you’re going to hell. > Yea, I’ve had a lot to ‘deal’ with myself growing up, but I think I’ve > come > a long way and overcome more obstacles than you can even imaging….and > it’s > all happened since I’ve moved 2 states away from my mother.  I want a > strong > bond with my child, not one like the one I have with my mother.  Don’t get > me wrong, I still love and respect her (the best I can), and nothing > changes > the way she is as a person.  I don’t want to be that kind of person and at > least I’m still young enough to recognize it and make a change…..for the > better. > Is it everything you had dreamed and then some, Elaine? > As I said…it was kind of you to say.  Do you know anything of your bio > parents?

~~~ Yes, I do.  I met my biological mother for the first time when my son was 6 months old and she is an incredible lady!  She tried contacting me when I was 18 but that didn’t fly with my ‘parents’ (non-biological one’s that is). They were dead set on believing, back in ‘73, that those adoption records were CLOSED.  Then, when I was 18, they received a call from a social worker.  I came home and my mother was in tears.  I asked what was wrong and she said that she was just thinking of her mother, who had passed on a few years prior.  Well, I come home again from school a few days later and the same thing…..she again said that she was sad because she was thinking of her mother. I picked up the paper and read multiple stories regarding adoption.  It was pretty crazy how it all came out in the open.  She watched me as I read…..I looked at her….she looked at me with freight in her eyes…..I read some more……looked at her again…..even more freight in her eyes…..then I asked her.  I asked if anyone had ever tried contacting me (meaning my biological mother).  She hesitated but told me yes.  I freaked! I couldn’t believe it!  ’She’ actually wanted to get in touch with me!!  It was an AMAZING thought but I saw how much it hurt my mom, so I didn’t follow up with the social worker.  The social worker was awful with my mother so I ended up having a local attorney send a letter to the social worker, saying that it wasn’t a good time….(at that time).  They never tried to get in touch again. Then, when I was pregnant with my son, I called that same attorney, got the number for the social worker, and ended up getting in touch with her.  She came down to Austin, with my half-brother and my half-sister, when my son was 6 months old.  It was wonderful and we still keep in touch to this day. I can only wonder about the person I would be had she have raised me. But….I can’t think like that….I have to be the person I KNOW I can be now……. Misty ~~~

Seriously. You’re fairly new here. It would be nice to hear some of your background  and how you got to where you are today. You were going to tell everyone about your mother….

~~~ I dont’ think this is a big joke….I came in here originally for help, didn’t I?  And I’ve realized that my situation with my son is completely normal at this age and that I just need more confidence in my abilities as a parent, which is something that I’m more than willing to work on.  And btw, my son can’t wait to see me again….he loves his mommy for what I’ve, yes, what I HAVE taught him…..he may not always listen but he’s a wonderful child in every other way. As far as my background……I was adopted at 3 days old, so you’re right on that one, I wasn’t raised by my biological mother, however I DO have a mother, and she was there with me at home, the entire time I was growing up. She tried to raise me right, but at the same time didn’t let me have my independance nor encourage me no matter what it was that I did….and she’s still like that to this day.  That does, in NO way, mean that I plan on raising my child in that same manner.  Nor to I exemplify that to my child. That’s the main reason I’m looking for guidance….I refuse to raise my son with the same belief system she had with me and if there’s a way to get feedback from a diverse crowd the I’m all about it.  My mother thought that being overly-strict and whipping my ass every chance she got was the most effective way to ‘deal’ with me….not to mention her views that if you’re not Catholic then you’re going to hell. Yea, I’ve had a lot to ‘deal’ with myself growing up, but I think I’ve come a long way and overcome more obstacles than you can even imaging….and it’s all happened since I’ve moved 2 states away from my mother.  I want a strong bond with my child, not one like the one I have with my mother.  Don’t get me wrong, I still love and respect her (the best I can), and nothing changes the way she is as a person.  I don’t want to be that kind of person and at least I’m still young enough to recognize it and make a change…..for the better. Is it everything you had dreamed and then some, Elaine?

~~~ First off, how do you even know that this parent plans on putting this child in ‘public school’…we have not established that from the original comment and I find your speculation about this situation disturbing.  IF you could spell the word concern properly, I would explain further on MY biggest concern.  Which, for the OP’s info, isn’t to tell this person that thier child is doomed (so to speak from what I’m gathering from your feedback), before knowing the whole situation.  You have no right to judge this child’s outcome, nor, speculate as you have done thusfar. From what I’ve heard, you don’t even have children of your own so how can you come in here with your self-righteous self and give advice in the first place? ~~~ > I seriously find your priorities to be short sighted at best, ignorant to > the point of cruelty springs to mind as well.

~~~ You, madam, have NO idea what MY priorities are!  ’Ignorant to the point of cruelty’…..now that’s an educated statement. Misty ~~~

Here is the OP again.  Please note that the OPer didn’t go into much detail, including what has been done to deal with the situation. Without more information, there is no way that you or anyone else can make a judgement call such as you have done. > My 5 year old keeps stealing and i am at my wits end i need advice on > how to dicipline him i feel like i have done all i can but i could use > soe different opinions he steals money from people while thet are not > paying attention also candy gum any thing he wants and his responce to > dicipline is not good he is hyperactive and cant remember what was said > 5 minute ago he wil be starting Kindergarten in the fall i dont want him > to take this habit with him any advice would be appreciated

This boy should be tested by a qualified child psychologist. > It seems to me that you’re blowing things way out of proportion.

It is not at all clear why you would say that. I can only guess it’s for reasons of your own. I don’t know you well enough to comment on your motivations.

"Hold back".  What does that even mean?  From public school???  This is a very vulnerable, troubled little child. He’s only barely making it now. YOUR biggest consern is his gratuation date from public school? What the heck difference does it make how fast or how soon he gets through public school? I seriously find your priorities to be short sighted at best, ignorant to the point of cruelty springs to mind as well.

I don’t recall the OPer saying that the child is "barely making it now".  It seems to me that you’re blowing things way out of proportion. — Kitten = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = I’m a bitch, I’m a lover; I’m a child, I’m a mother I’m a sinner, I’m a saint; I do not feel ashamed I’m your hell, I’m you dream; I’m nothing in between You know you wouldn’t want it any other way                                                                       – – - Meredith Brooks

Ok, Miss Misty. You think accurate interpretation of online questions is some big joke? No legitimacy?  Ok, so I have one for you. You have no mother. Your birth mother was not your custodial parent. What is your story? Who raised you? Tell everyone about your mother.
