Basically I'm 16+ I can't drive as my parents don't want to teach me. I can't get a "normal job"(because I don't have an ID and I have no way of getting one, I live in the south and I'm 15+ miles away from all stores, the mall, and 30 miles away from the city where the bus is). So usually I try to stick to dog walking jobs and pet sitting type of jobs. I found this petsitting job online, and the person wants me to watch her dog for 3 days while she is out of town. I told my parents and they are throwing a fit saying it is not worth it and that they do not want to drive me there and that they should not have to. I just checked on my google maps, it says if I walked there(16 miles away) it would take me 5 hours. Do you think them driving me 25 minutes away or walking 5 hours is more reasonable? No I do not have a way currently to get a bike, bike insurance and I have asked a few friends none have been willing to drive me. Cabs cost too much(I don't really have money yet because of this situation). Yet my parents constantly put me down because of this. It doesn't seem right. Are most parents this way? Tbh, besides school(homeschooled) I have not done anything really since 2011... because(my parents words) "activities, and this dog walking stuff is not of importantace." Oh and yes I have tried asking some of my neighbors on our neighborhood website if any need dog walking or whatever none have replied back yet.
