no one is supporting me in doing taekwondo?

Posted on January 7, 2012 by admin| 23 Comments

my mum and grandma told me it was a boys sport and no girl should ever be doing a mans sport otherwise they will become manly. they think i will have overly large muscles and wont be attractive. my cousin and friend laughed at me when they heard it and my brother said “do what you want”. i feel like i have no support behind me. my friend and i went to our first class last week and it was fantastic. im going again but im paying myself since i dont want my mums money (not that she would offer anyway)
what do u think?
should i quit?
what are the benefits?

My brother is being intolerable?

Posted on July 21, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

Hi, for the past 2 weeks my brother has been in the worst mood ever. He is 10 years older than me and my mom and I live with him. He has yelled at me and yelled at me and yelled at me and busted my chops every chance he got for the past 2 weeks. Usually he comes home after I got to bed from teaching Tai Chi, which should make you clam. But last night he started yelling at me for not knowing the exact address of my firends birthday party spot that is not until tonight, when we have the invitation on the fridge. I told him I did not remember, all I could remember was it was at the Imperial Hotel. My mom tried to get him to stop, but he kept at it. Then I asked him for an opinion on something and he growled at me that I need my own opinions and I should think for myself, which I do. Since when did opinions mean you were not an independent thinker? I just value his opinion a lot because I look up to him. My dad is not in my life and I think he has this feeling that he has to be my dad, but he doesn’t. He has to be my brother, but he is starting not to act like it. How can I tell him that I don’t appriciate the way he is treating me without being rude or appearing rude? Also what can I do if he keeps doing this? Thanks!

Consequences for my 11 Yr old daughter’s Angry Outburst!?

Posted on July 9, 2011 by admin| 12 Comments

Yesterday in the car, both my kids were in the backseat. My 11 yr old daughter was irritated by the fact that her little brother (age 8) was waving his hand in front of her face. He didn’t even touch her. The next thing I know, she had karate chopped him right in the neck (adam’s apple area).

Now I was very upset (yes I yelled! I know I shouldn’t have) and didn’t know what to do. I moved my son up front and made sure he was ok. But with her?

Immediately, I put her on the rest of this week and up until next Friday restriction from playing with friends/phone. TV fine, cause if she didn’t have that it would be worse on me. But no friends. THAT she values.

Additional things: to write complete sentences on the following: —20 ways I can manage my bx when responding to my little brother’s bx.–10 ways I can show love to my brother-10 healthy ways I can respond to my anger/frustrations.

What else can I do? What works for you? HELP!!! not an isolated incident!
