My Dad goes overseas next Tueday through the first half of Nov (he works for an oil company). He said it's too long for me to go with him and I would be not be happy because of the country he is going to teenage girls arent treated well. He told me to pick a friend to stay with so I chose my friend Tamara's and they said OK
I don't have a Mom anymore so Dad is all I have and all of our relatives live too far away or cant take care of me. We live in Texas now and while her family is very nice they very Christian and strict. Her Mom does not like that I backtalk and dress revealingly or whatever and deserve to "get it". My Dad does not believe in spanking but he gave her Mom, not Dad, permission to as last resort because she said that is their rule at home - spankings!
I'm worried. Dad told me to just deal with it and if I behave I have nothing to worry about and if I don't I will get grounded for a long time when he gets home and that's what I should worry about. What should I do?

Do the right thing. You already know what the rules are. Your Dad is right, just behave.
If your Dad is going to a middle eastern country I can understand why he won't take you with him.

Maybe it is time to grow up and take some responsibility. I am sure your dad has enough to worry about without you adding to it with a bad attitude and back talk. Spankings are not a positive way to deal with issues either. Perhaps you would be better off with relatives, even if they live far away. You should take a mature stance on this and simply behave like a young adult until your father returns.

Listen to your Dad. It sounds like your friend's mom has high standards for your behavior, but nothing unreasonable (although I must question the idea of spanking a teenager). You may be used to a more lenient atmosphere at home, but you are a guest in your friend's house and should respect her family's rules.

It's only six weeks, so stay on your best behaviour and you won't get spanked.
On the other hand, to judge from your other questions you're kind of fascinated by the idea of parental spankings - so maybe this is your perfect opportunity to find out what they're like.

Theirs a few ways to do deal with this, i don't know your age so ill categorize it. If your 16 and younger, i would try to stay away from your friends parents to minimize your chances of getting in trouble, id say go with the flow for whatever they say and try to bite your tongue.( i back talk alot too). If your 17 or older i would try to convince your father and your friends parents to let you stay at your house, that way your kinda free to do whatever, try to sweet talk it by saying you'll clean the house and things like that.

give your dad a break being a single parent is hard enough without you giving him attitude. you chose to stay with your friend and you had to know what her parents were like so step up to the plate and start acting like a good daughter would.
