Let it all hang out here. We love our parents, but they annoy the shit out of us sometimes. This thread is just for venting. NOT AN ADVICE THREAD. If you want advice, post a topic in the forum.
Discuss.

Let's start with my dad. I love him very much. However, he's way too overprotective, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. My sister is eighteen, and she's never had a boyfriend. Ever. He always yells at me for things I haven't done, and he has no respect for my privacy. For example, when I'm on the computer, he always looks at my IMs and looks at the screennames. ("Who is that person? How old are they? Do they go to school with you?") He just doesn't get it. He doesn't get that I'm not six anymore. He doesn't understand that I need my space and privacy more often. I'm growing up. I wish he'd just realize that.

The only thing that keeps me from hating him is the fact that he's doing everything he's doing out of love for me.

My parents got me nothing for the holidays and don't see anything wrong with that. Wtf.

I love my parents! end of story

That's all fine and dandy, but NOT contributing to the thread. 'Kay? 'Kay.

when my parents get mad at my brother
and i come around
then they get mad at me

I love my Mom and all, but really, sometimes she gets on my nerves. I hate hate HATE it when she nags about NOTHING. And then she YELLS at me for stuff that I didn't do! Alright FINE, I don't care about that, but she always ALWAYS makes excuses for my brother who is only 4 years older than me....I'm 17 and it's time she realize that I'm not a 7 year old anymore!

my parents never get me anything for the holidays, but get my sister five hundred dollar gifts.

wtf.

our parents blow. wanna switch?

Wow. What a perfect thread for what I'm currently feeling.

I am SICK of my parents. How dare they put the blame on me, how dare they say all I do is sit on my ass, how dare they say I can't attend their funerals, how dare they put me on a guilt trip, HOW DARE THEY. Yes, I love them but right now I certainly do not like them. This is going to sound bad but I got pleasure out of seeing my mom cry. WHY? Because they are always bitching at me and making me cry. It's not fair and they deserve some of the pain. This isn't about them. What I'm going through isn't about them, yet, they always think it's about them. They always pull the attention back to themselves, that they did something wrong. They don't understand. They don't get what I'm telling them. I say something and they interpret something totally different. Thank God I'm some what intelligent and I know that it all has to do with the limitations of language and with perception and what not, but still. SHEESH. They piss me off.

I really used this thread the right way--complete venting.

I hate my parents!
I've finished all my exams and i dun go back to school until March.

My dad doesn't let me go out with my bf to movies and stuff..... instead I'm being cooped up in the house with nothing to do but sit on my ass all day..................................

i'm sorry. :[

i love my parents a lot a lot a lot.
theyre not too strict. not too lenient.

My moms delirious (sp?) and delusional. Basically, were poor. ( And the reason we still have a computer with internet is because my dads life consists of beer and tv. And we told him if the computer had to go when we were selling things to cut save money, that the tv had to go to. ) And it drives her crazy I guess. And I know she sees how me ang my brother struggle with not having anything knew and having to reuse clothes and share clothes and everything, but i swear shes pyscho. In her mind she makes up clothes that she bought me and argues with me. I have to walk to school in the harsh wind and rain, without anything to protect myself because we couldnt afford any clothes. That is, until i started hustling again to buy myself a jacket

I cant even, EXPLAIN how pathetic my mother is. Shes unfit to even be a mother. I dont even remember anything good out of my childhood from my family. All i remember is arguments,crying,my dad drunk, my dad beating up my mom, my dad leaving, my mom crying,my brother sitting in his room, ignoring it all and turning to drugs, then the anger HAS ALWAYS been taken out on me. ALWAYS. fslkbvalk akfhsalkvb IM SO JUST. ANGRY INSIDE.

The only memory i have of my mom, from when i was a child is her calling me names. Calling me, fat. Calling me a pig, calling stupid and lazy. Telling me i was a bitch, yelling at me, hitting me.

And my dad. He might as well have never been there. I had a father, but never a father figure. He sat on the couch, drunk, watching his TV. Both my parents have serious, serious, anger management problems that they both dont want to admit. And they are both so headstrong and stubborn and ignorant, and they dont want to admit to eachother that neither was wrong or right.

My dad tried kicking me to death.

My mom forced me into therapy.
And wonders why im so angry at her and my dad.

Im not even mad .. that we cant afford anything at the moment. Im not even mad that i have no clothes, and that I can never dress like everybody else with nice clothes. Im just SO pissed off that she acts like she gives me everything. She lies to herself, and convinces herself that she buys me new jeans, and new shirts, and new shoes every month.

Ive had two pairs of shoes, for the past two years. Hah, Shes so stupid.

My dad wonders why i hate him so. And im not even going to get into that.

My parents call me ungrateful. When i have SHIT to be grateful for, but a roof under my head, which half of the time they have kicked me out of.

I buy my own food, and i cook it. With money, i have earned on the streets.

Whoo. That made me feel better.
Looking at my sig pic, it never would seem like i have a life like this =\

my dad always wants me to rake the leaves and pick them up when he knows that more or just gonna fall the week after.. guess what.. it's the week after i have to pick up more.. ugh.

i really don't have much to complain about.

BUT. i WOULD appreciate a nice "good job" or something when i show them a freakin straight A report card. instead of just "...dont drop those grades.."

and i wish dad would ease it off on the bugging. NOT COOL. and theres nothing wrong with halter tops god dammit!

thats all =)

My parents hog the internet. But they help me with my music career, so I cant hate them too much. Grr.

my parents aren't gay, unlike you guys.

Yeah, thats nice. If theres nothing to complain about, then dont post here. After all, this is the official parental complaining thread

call our parents gay then. i bet ur not liked around here.
people like you piss me off.

i love my parents.

On the contrary, my parents are straight. If they weren't, I wouldn't exist.


Sometimes they get me frustrated. Whenever I like someone or am in a relationship, they manage to screw it all up for me. They scare all the guys away because, even though my dad is cool when it's just me or my friends, he becomes overprotective and angry around anybody that wants to get involved with me. I know they love me but I just wish they'd back the hell up and quit butting into my relationships. STOP asking so many questions. I'm just 16. At this point, not a lot of people are thinking about marriage, and when my dad asks all these questions about the future and the dreaded "What are your intentions?", they run away scared. Plus, my mother decided that it would be a good idea to put me on chaperoned dates... WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER. Hello? We're living in the 21st century now. I wear pants, women have the right to vote, and, I CAN GO ON DATES ALONE. Now everyone thinks I'm lame because I'm the girl with the wack job parents.

Do you mean that your parents are homosexual gay, or that they're just stupid?

Copy and paste for me. I know my parents care about me and only want the best for me, but does it really matter that I don't have all an A+ in every class? Last year, I just got an A in math and my dad told me that it would have been better if I'd gotten an A+. He didn't speak to me for 2 weeks.

hah nice one lauren.

I wish we had an "official sibling complaint thread". I would own that topic. D:

- My dad is being a bastard. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My parents don't seem to see that I've been working my ass off in school.

well then.....

it's hard not to get sick of parents.
my dad is over protective, but i guess he's gotten better these few years. my mom on the other hand, budges in on everything. I need my privacy at times. learn to KNOCK please. she just comes in and sits down around me to check out what i'm doing on the computer.
Report cards, like how you guys have mentioned, we dont get fricken "good jobs". for some odd reason my parents are so negative about everything. it's always " you could of done better." or if you did good on a test or subject it's always, " how many people got higher marks? what did so and so get in the subject?"
i know they want the best for me, sometimes it's too much to handle.

ughh my mom and dad are always complaining that all they do is cheaufuer (sp??) me around every weekend and that i don't have any respect for them. wtf, driving me to the mall, my boyfriend's house, or one of my friend's house isn't a hard task. i shouldn't have to beg them to bring me places on the weekends. i'm not gunna sit home all day instead of going out with my friends. maybe i would have more respect for them if they didn't bitch about it every time i ask them to drive me somewhere. i know they aren't my "personal slaves", as they have said in the past, but still...i have a social life.

well. i love them most of the times. but sometimes i think they're just over protective. they won't let me go out with my friends, i'm not allowed to have a bf until i get into university. okay. the boyfriend issue, i understand it, they want me to focus on study. fine. but HELLO? GOING OUT WITH FRIENDS. com'on. what's wrong with it?!! arghh

Well I don't live with my parents, but my grandparents. I am always at home, but that doesnt' really matter. I basically dont' do anything but do homework, an go on the computer,and clean the house. She always have to say something negative to me. Shes says she teaching me for the real world. But the words that come out of her mouth really hurts. I know i am the oldest, I have to care for my brother and sister. I know it there faults, buts she always freakin blame everything on me. I tried to get good grades. But it not really enough for her. She says I am lazy, fat, I need to losed wieght, or I won't get married. I dont' want to get married anyway. I tried to join batminton, but she says dont' take to much electives. I already ask her for her permission, yet when my uncle talk about it, she started yelling at me. Sometimes she mades me cry. When I was in 3rd grade, she was yelling at me, and I started crying, she told me you better stop crying while i am yelling at you. From now, I never cry infront of her again. The words hurt, just a little bit of appreciation would make me happy. I know she hates my mother. She blames everything on my brother and sister. She not my real grandma, I consider her as one. My real grandma died in cambodia, so my grandpa married her. I just want her to say good job teeda. Yet, all i want is a little of consideration, instead of lectures. She accused me of having a boyfriends.. I felt hurt. I am only 14, and I still dont'w ant to get married Never. That all I want. INStead she screams at me, she kick me out of the housed to live with my parents. Pathetic.. I might moved to my parents anyway.. instead of getting accused for everything.

my parents expects to much from me.

My parents ignore the fact that I'm an all honors student, 1st chair clarinet and head section header for marching band, and I'm the top jazz pianist at my school. They say I'm lazy, I don't do anything, all I do is sit on the computer, read, or play piano. WTF? I love the computer, I plan on either being a computer programmer or a professional musician. That would explain my playing piano and the computer all the time. I read because I love to read. I still manage to get all my chores done, and my homework, and have a GPA above 4.0. They really are idiots.

OMFG WTF.

I WANTED TO SEE WEDDING CRASHERS IN THE THEATRE WHEN IT CAME OUT. MY LASDJKFHLASDF MOM SAID I CAN RENT IT WHEN I COMES OUT. I ASKED TO RENT IT AND SHE SAID "WAIT UNTIL IT SHOWS ON TV"

ASHASDFASDFSDFHASD

WTF

my parents are so oblivious to what my older brother is out doing every night.

wait, they probably know what he's doing. they just won't say anything.

i hate that.

I wish my parents wouldn't have such a problem with going shopping with me. I mean come on, the mall is faaar to long away for my to bike or walk to, and I cna't drive yet, so if I want to go shopping I HAVE to go with them. And yet they think that's unreasnoble...honestly.

My dad can annoy me...he gets sooo angry about little things, and if he gets angry at me I start crying. I'm a cry baby I know.

hmm, I guess that's aobut it. ...my mom can sometimes get on my nerves...but she's a great mom so ya, no problems there

On the whole ofcourse I love them both

P.S. but what the hell was with giving me a board game and my brother's old graphing calculator for xmas?! wow, my brother's old calculator, THANKS MOM! *sigh*

apparently some f u people dont listen if u arent going to contribute to the thread then dont say anything at all ayhow

ya i dunno if anyone remembers my old threads but i f**kin hate both of my parents they whatever it takes to better themselves and my other siblings the thing i hate about that is i have tried to make them like me i have tried to listen but they just wont
i know im sounding weird but i just want them to f**kin die i hate their f**kin guts
but somehow after numerous(only two but come on..)attempts to kill myself im still here
luckily i have finally knocked some sense into my self
but lately shits been hard man does life suck for us people who are somewhat irresposible but somewhat intellectual

Ehh, my parents just sort of ignore me. I don't care for exceptionally materialistic things, like my siblings, but it'd be nice if they actually paid attention to the few things I want. The only time they even notice me is when report cards come in.

WTH. I'm so pissed off at my mom right now.

I have a Vocal Arts proformance in two weeks (for school, and I'm singing Cowboy Take Me Away by Dixie Chicks) and I don't have any dress clothes that fit me anymore. So I'm like "I wanna go shopping this weekend to buy clothes for Vocal Arts night k?" and she's like "Errrrgggg, you already have enough clothes! what about ALL those skirts you have?" What. The. Blink. I have two skirts total, one which is black and is a dress skirt and would be veyr apropriate if I could fit it around my waist anymore and my yellow one with green stripes which is like a tenis skirt HELLO, it's not a dress skirt dummy. It's almost lounge wear for goodness sake. So I told her that and she's like "OH COME ON, YOU'RE YELLOW SKIRT IS JUST FINE!" and I'm like "no mom, it's not. youd o not know how wrong it is" and then I'm like "I need to dress shoes as well so we'll have to go shopping anyway" and she practically explodes she's like "just wear your character shoes!!!" . AHHHHHHHHH!!!! kill me now. That is sooo wrong! you wouldn't wear high heels to this thing, much less character shoes, that woudn't go with my song ar all! or jsut the whole concert in general! plus they are crappy looking to begin with! IT'S MY MONEY FOR GODS SAKE JUST DRIVE ME THERE AND I'LL DO THE REST but noooo, a 10 minute drive is faaaar to long to drive for your only daguther's happyness! I'd rather have her totally miserable and feel completely akward and imbarrised at the concert and ruin her ENTIRE LIFE! GRRRRRRRRR

....

god I love this thread

I don't always love my parents as much as I should. They say I'm spoiled and undeserving. And maybe thats true. But who's fault is that? Partially mine I know but there was also a second party involved.

Aw, I hoped I wouldn't have to use this thread..but I'm just speaking in the heat of the moment right now.

To my mom:
We had plans for this Sunday to go shopping for my winter dance dress. But you and Baba have to go visit Dada again. We never spend time together. I feel sad about that, but there's nothing I can do. I don't care about the other days because I have other plans and you have work. And I don't want to go with Baba because he doesn't have a clue about dresses. Now, I'll just have to go with a friend or by myself. I don't want to.

wayyyyyyy to over protective.. i cant even walk down the street from my house.. without my parents lookin` out the window... but when im in a white neighborhood, they let me do whatever.. even if i dont know the neighborhood!! thats all i got for now.

So I was planning to go to the movies with my friends today. ( and then ice skating ). But I cancelled my plans cause my parents said we're going out to eat tonight. Turns out we're not going out to eat anymore so now i'm stuck at home on a Friday night. Hella whack. I hate it they always do that.. OH WE'RE GOING ON THAT DAY. NEVERMIND LET'S GO TOMORROW. NO I'M TIRED LET'S GO NEXT WEEK.

Mom:
I want money on my birthday.
And if you're going to combine my christmas and birthday presents into one( which is hella stupid since they're almost a month apart ) don't be cheap. Get out of character. I swear, if you get stingy on me, I won't ever forgive you.

Your wannabe-spoiled child

ahh well i love my parents
but they get on my nerves.
all the time. O_O
theyre just so protective, im old enough i know what to do.
they also assume everything.
gets me so pissed
aiii
okay im done
=]

Why?! Why are my parents so stingy? Always giving me lectures, weird excuses and explanations to me about certain things?!

HELLO?!
University entrance exams are over! I've graduated from High School!
I'm supposed to be on HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Why am I still not allowed to go out for most of the time? Its like they don't keep their promises. I'm 17! I know how to think and make decisions for myself!!! If I need advice, I'll go to them, but it seems so unfair. I have no privacy at all living under this roof.... They can't be overprotective of me all my life! Why don't my parents ever understand what I'm trying to tell them?!? They never listen to me............

BUMP

my parents are so overprotective. i'm not allowed to go out at all without parent supervision, unless its the 7 11 across the street (which i had to wait till my 13th birthday for, and its freakin 5 seconds away if i run), the mall, and the movies. even though i'm still young (turning 14 soon), i still deserve some things. and, aside from them not letting me go anywhere, they complain that all i do is stay home. my friends dont invite me to some places because they know my parents wouldn't let me go.

not only are they overprotective, but they don't trust any of my friends except like, one of them. my mom always says my friends are "okay". she never says that they're "good" or anything. one of my friends, is really cool. she's loud and stuff, but she knows how to cheer some one up and stuff. but, my mom hates her the most out of all my friends because she's loud. almost all my friends are loud, just that friend expresses it....more than the others. it's the 21 century, there arent many "goody goody's" anymore. but, my mom expects all my friends to be straight a students, have good parents, have good manners, and all that stuff.

also, my mom expects me to be perfect all the time. shes like "be the best out of your class." she's not like other moms who are like "try your best", she says "no, BE the best." it annoys me.

and they don't like skirts higher than the knee. i mean come on, i've seen grandmas who wear skirts above the knee!

Hell no i ain't cleaning my room.

You go do it. I'm sure God will help you if you pray to him.

Mom, quit being such a selfish whore! AND QUIT YELLING ABOUT EVERYTHING. I swear all you ever do is yell and cuss. You're selfish and all you ever do is complain. You're so ungrateful. I can not wait until I'm out of this house, because I'm never talking to you again. You're turning into your mother, and one day you will see that.... one day. And on that day I will laugh in your face.

Mom
fuck you. way to ruin the day for me.
you better not talk to me for the rest of the week or ill explode on you again.

Dad:
I don't love you.

my parents always says stuff to my sister to make her hate me more than she already does...therefore she thinks i'm spoiled and they love me more than any of my brothers and sister....which makes me furious....>< i wish they wouldn't say all that crap!! UGHHHHH!!!!!!!

to the parents:

okay. you guys just fcuked everything up. i know i'm not as perfect as my sister but that doesn't mean you have to PUSH ME TO BE LIKE THAT. and me and her DON'T like the same things we AREN'T the same person. and i'm not even the person you assume i am half the time.
ughhh just think about it ok? yea and i AM trying hard i DON'T CARE about potential or goals but i really am trying i do well in school so shutup about that. don't be up my ass about my interests and how i spend my time BECAUSE IT'S MY FCUKING LIFE not yours. yesss thank you.

that felt good.
