It doesn't matter what people think about seeing kids with their parents. You need to be yourself and not care about what others think. As I said, if you are not content and keep worrying about what others have to say or think, your life will be miserable. I always get stares on the road, but I don't care. I just stare back and keep staring until they feel bad and look away. You need to be yourself and not care about other people around you. If you are bothered by your school, tell your mom to homeschool you. That is an option available throughout the US and something most school districts offer. That is something I did for years and I'll tell you, it was great. Far better than any school I've ever been to.
You are complaining about having one bathroom. I know it can be hard with one bathroom but you need to consider how lucky you are compared to millions of people around the world. Have you ever thought of people in Africa, Afghanistan, India, countries in Southeast Asia, and many other parts of the world? Many people in those countries are so poor, they cannot imagine having a bathroom in the house at all. In fact, some people live in small huts that cannot even be called a "house." They go outside to use the bathroom and some very poor people even have to go in the bushes. If you've seen real poor people, you wouldn't be able to be more thankful about your life. I have seen very poor people with my own eyes and to my surprise, they were far more content than we are, saying that they are far better off than many other people in the world. I have most of my family in Pakistan, and when we were visiting them last year, I was playing computer with my cousin who is the same age as me. Practically everyone of middle or upper class there has a maid to help in the housework, and they do get paid, but they are still very poor. My aunt's maid had a 13 year old daughter who used to come with her mom to see my cousins while her mom helped in the housework. The poor girl was just a little younger than us, yet she had never gotten the oppertunity to attend school, because her family was too poor to send her. She couldn't really read but my cousin was teaching her, so hopefully she will learn. As we played computer happily, I noticed she was watching us sadly from the back of the room. She came to us and quietly asked what we were doing. We told her we were playing and asked if she'd like to give it a try. She said she doesn't know how, but she'd love to watch. My cousin and I felt very sorry for her and wished she could have a better life. She noticed we were sad for her and said "Don't feel sad for me. I am in a much better condition that millions of people around the world. At least I have shelter and at least my mom has a job. Millions of people have nothing to eat and no roof above their heads, and I am grateful to God that I have that. I am also grateful that my mom gets to work at very nice people's house and that you have a very nice cousin who is willing to take some time out of her work to teach me how to read." We were very touched by what she said, and I realized then how lucky we were and that it would be a shame to complain about anything. Though Pakistan has a great amount of rich people living in marble mansions and huge houses, a great amount of people are poor there as well, and when I see them, I feel like crying. There is so much to be thankful for and you won't realize it until you think of people in far worse conditions, children who must search the garbage in order to find something they can sell, to get a bite of food in their mouths.
And about Floppsy, ask your dad if she can stay out in the day, but at least get to sleep in the bathroom at night. It doesn't matter if the bathroom get dirty because that's what its made for.Good luck on the bunny and I hope you will be more content and thankful after reading this post.
