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.
