I never have time to 'be alone'.... and no I dont mean like sleeping time, like 'me time' to make me happy and explore.

My dad or his girlfriend is always here so I can never get done what I am trying to do.

How do I get some alone time?

Another_Kapiti agony auntOh, sorry! I totally missed the point about 'exploring'! Yes, well you wouldn't want to do 'that' in public would you! Forgive me.

I agree with the previous poster, lots of music to cover any noise of enjoyment is probably the thing to do here!

Do they both work? You'd have a few hours between you finishing school and them coming home from work, but still, you might not be in 'the mood' at that time! Not too sure what to suggest...

Take a portable radio into the bathroom and play it faitly loudly to cover the sounds of your "exploring"!

Of coarse more information...bit exactly smother they just dont go out much which does not leave me to do the things I need to do. Gathering my thoughts and exploring in peace. So in a way I feel as if I dont have time to do the things I want to do myself I dont have a boyfriend :(

That is okay though. Just dont want them to hear me...and dont think I can go out in public *laughing*

Another_Kapiti agony auntYou can be alone in your bedroom can't you? I spend a lot of time in mine, reading, using the computer etc.

I also go to the beach a lot, by myself, or the park, if you go early in the morning, there aren't many people around and you have time to collect your thoughts without being disturbed by anyone else.

How do you mean alone time? What do you need to do that necessitates being alone in the house? If it's time with a partner, then I'd go to his place.

Ultimately, you aren't going to get much resolved unless you talk to your dad and his girlfriend. Do you feel smothered by them? Or is it just that you never get time in the house by yourself? Can you give me some more information?
