Well, my dad visited yesterday... he thought I had 4 rabbits (Clio, Jasper, Wiffles and Whistler) and I told him the latter 2 were fosters. He knew nothing about Teddy or Tia... when he saw them yesterday he went mental (especially since I had Tia living in my bedroom). I went on the forum to show him I was totally normal and that other people had rabbits living indoors but he wasn't having it :roll:

He said if I didn't get rid of 3 of the by this weekend he's putting the house on the market and kicking me out!! I mean it's not as if I have to pay part of the mortgage AND all the bills... oh yes, I DO!! :evil: :evil:

Basically I told him I wanted to quit uni because I hate the course I'm on and he told me I don't hate the course and that it's because I spend too much time looking after rabbits and have too many to cope with. How does he know how I'm feeling?! I DO hate the course and yes I look after my rabbits, yes I spend a lot of time with them but I can cope.

ANYWAY... I'm not even THINKING about rehoming ANY of my rabbits! No way on EARTH will I do that. He's told me that if I can look after the house and keep up my studies then I'll be able to foster again in Janurary and possibly adopt another (he want's a perfect daughter... unfortunately I'm not but he can't accept it :roll: )




SO, do any bunny boarding places have room for Wiffles and Whistler from the first weekend in December until probably the second week of January?? I know it's probably short notice with Christmas coming up but I really really don't want to lose house or bunnies, they are the only things that make me happy :cry:

Figured it would probably be easier posting on here rather than sending a million PMs.

My mum is visiting so we'll probably be able to drive an hours radius of Chester or ANYWHERE on route to Cambridge/Peterborough from Chester.
If you have room please PM me how much it'll cost and I'll provide a hutch (if needed). REALLY hope someone can help me. :(
 
Awwwwwwwwwww Emma I am so sorry about this, I hope you get sorted, I wish I was nearer :D
 
Is there any way your mum could have a word with your dad about this? Try and explain that the bunnies arent interferring with your course and that you really dont like it?

Tried it. She thinks he's being stupid about it. Am trying to get her to move up here with me so she can help (ie, pretend she's helping looking after buns) but she said she's not moving into anywhere my dad owns :roll: :roll:
And basically the ONLY person my dad will listen to is my stepmum :cry:
 
Awww Emma this sucks :cry: I can't believe your dad would be so mean as to chuck you out or make you part with any of your bunnies :shock: and tbh what does it matter whether you've got 3 or 6? as long as they're not wrecking the house I can't see why he's got a problem with them..... parents eh? :roll:

Wish I was closer and had the room to help out.... all I can do is wish you luck in trying to talk him round.

((((((HUGS))))))

EXACTLY!! And it's not really any extra cost... and it gives me something to do, I LIKE spending time cleaning them out. :roll:

Aww thank you :)
 
What exactly is his problem with them? has he given you a categoric reason for wanting you you part with 3?
 
Not a very supportive dad, and I assume the stepmother is not your best friend, either. The fact that you have a job now doesn't help?

I wouldn't worry so much about your course. You wouldn't be the first one to change her mind. My dad started off studying physics for a year, and now he is a surgeon. And my bf's son studied physics for a year, too, before realising that it was too theoretical. Now he is studying biology instead.

I really hope you find a solution to the problem. *hugs*

His reasons were...
1) The house wasn't tidy (few bits of hay in the floor and bedroom was quite messy with Tia being in it... but who's going to go in my bedroom anyway?!)
2) They're inferfering with my studied and THEY are why I want to quit uni (which is a load of c***)

Tried to talk him round all of yesterday but he just wasn't listening :cry:
 
I wish I was closer too because I do have the room. Put them on a plane and send them to me :lol:

And basically the ONLY person my dad will listen to is my stepmum

Is there any chance your stepmum could help by talking to him?

I like cleaning mine out too

Parents!! I know if my dad was alive I would not be allowed my buns in the house and I would definetly not have three of them!

For ***** sake! :evil: ONE bunny will make just as much mess as 6!! There is NO good reason behind his arguments - I can't believe this :shock: :shock: Perhaps you would be better to try and find somewhere else to live anyway if he's going to be so stupid.... Sorry hun he sounds like a nightmare :cry:

He THINKS he's being supportive... but it's the total opposite. I just can't explain anything to him *sigh*
I thought getting a job would HELP the situation! But apparently not :roll:


That's great to know, thanks :D I need some examples of where people DO change courses. I do like my German but we don't get taught the language... we get taught ABOUT Germany IN German so I don't understand a single thing... I don't even care about some of it. I hate politics and that's what most of the course is about :roll: I really really want to do something like Animal Behaviour and want to take a year out so I can save some money up then go back.


Thank you :D

Don't reeeeally talk to my stepmum. If I did she'd probably be against buns too.


It's lovely cleaning them out isn't it? Knowing that you're making buns happy and giving them a good life! :D Hehe. Find it quite relaxing! :lol:

If thats what you want to do then go for it :D

And dont worry about your dad not supporting what you want to do. Is your mum supportive?

Anyway we will all support you :D

I know, I know :roll: :roll:

Well I can't afford to live somewhere without his help... really don't want to rent somewhere and this house is in a great location for me.
He's really a great dad, done loads for me... he just doesn't listen sometimes or realise what's important to me... he's changed quite a bit since he moved abroad :(
 
Politics, ugh. That would bore me to death, too. My boyfriend's daughter is studying zoology or some other animal related thing in Bristol. She wants to specialise in horses, if possible. But it often happens that you change your mind right in the middle of a course.
I started biology with the intention to become a zoologist, to study animals in the wild and all that sort of daydreams. :lol: But then I was so fascinated with plants all of a sudden, and microbiology was fantastic, too. In zoology we did do a lot of slicing open of worms and squid and frogs, which didn't impress me too much.
