michael13man. how about asking around and doing babysitting. or taking dogs for walks, or even offering to wash cars. put a card in the shop window offering your services....gardening even.

[naomi24]

So where is your mum? Is she at a funeral parlour, or is she in a hospital morgue?

[michael13man]

i don't want to tell you it is none of your business

[sara3]

where ever his mother may be, questions would have been raised after this passing of time as she died in June, and it is almost August.

a paper-round isn't realistically going to cover the cost of a funeral within the next few years.

IF this is genuine, he needs to be speaking to a responsible adult in the real world!

[michael13man]

but i also need a good paying job so i can move in with my nan and grandad because i don't really like it here i have my cousin wake me up at 6:30 in the morning my aunt makes me go to bed at 7 and turns all the power in my room off i only get 2 meals a day and i am only supposed to be on the computer for 10 mins a day

At 13 you cannot take paid employment except in very limited circumstances for very few hours.

You cannot arrange the funeral as you cannot legally make contracts.

As upsetting as this may be for you, the funeral is not your problem to deal with. Let the adults responsible worry about it - it will all be sorted.

[kjc]

I don't think he should be taking responsability for paying for the funeral, but I think he probably does need to earn a bit of money for himself.
Maybe he wants to feel he has done something for his mum by wanting to help with funeral costs.
It's a sad, sad world isn't it people?

If she's still in the hospital then could you speak to the health authority there and see if they can help you arrange something?

They usually have advice centres or advisors in the hospital who may be able to help you or you could ask to speak to the hospital chaplain who may well know what to do.

You could also try giving CAB a ring or visit...

Their advice and help is free.

They may also be able to help you sort out any of your mother's money or property in the right way and anything else which might need sorting out.

[michael13man]

thank you all for the good advice apart from noknowledge who i hate so noknowledge please stop poeting answers

[michael13man]

i mean posting answers

[naomi24]

Well, if you don't want to tell us, Michael, I don't see how we can help you. If your mum died, someone must have dealt with it. There must be an adult involved in this, whether it was a doctor, hospital staff, hospice staff, social services, or the police, someone would have had to handle the formalities - and that someone couldn't possibly have been you. Under no circumstances would you have been left to deal with this on your own.

[sara3]

I'm with Naomi. let that be the final word, please!

[michael13man]

my nan and grandad will help i havent told them yet i have been so upset i forgot to tell them but as soon as i tell them i don't really need to worry about the funeral

[kjc]

michael honey, you have been given plenty of good advice, and lots of contacts to try. so best of luck with all these babes, and I'm sure everything will turn out ok for you soon.

[michael13man]
