I've always loved drawing. Mostly just doodling. So did my eldest sister but my parents would always disencourage her saying she would turn out to be a bum and all this crap. So that made me to decide to just quit trying to be artistic and to not take any art classes. So I guess one day my parents saw one of my drawings and they subscribed an art magazine for me. Now they're telling me that they want me to draw and paint so they could sell them at the swap meet or hang them around the house or something. They're getting excited about all these paintings I can do but I don't really want to. I'm not even all that great at painting! I think it's a waste of money and time but I feel too guilty to tell them anything.
I think this is a pretty stupid topic. I don't know why I'm making this... but have your parents ever made you do something you didn't want to? |

Yes.
I hardly have any control over my own life. My parents force me into doing a lot of things that I would really rather not do. It pisses me off because it takes time away from the things that I actually would like to do. I think every parent does that to an extent though. |

for the longest time, my mom didn't want me to be a graphic design artist.
*sigh* it was really depressing. the reason why she didn't want me to was cuz "it didn't pay enough" -__- |

Once I remember my mom making me do Piano/art class/Flute. It sucks so I just told her no more. I do whatever I want to do. My dad forced me to do Track but I didnt even go to the practices and I went to only one meet...so I dont care. Of they force me to do something, I always find a way to not do it.

yes...all the time.
The worst was when my mom made me to go Vietnam with her for a month last Feburary. I hated it mainly because the whole time I was there...I was stressing out of how am I suppose to catch up in school when I get back. It was supposely a "vacation". More like her vacation, it was hell for me watching my mom fight with her so called husband every effin day. Then she runs off to go visit places while I'm stuck in my grandma's house getting forced to eat by my relatives. Some mother-daughter thing that was.....

i used to be really good at art, and I would go to a arts school during the summer. the only problem is that its really really expensive and my mom told me that If I didnt draw during the school year then I couldnt go back. I drew a lion...and it was pretty good...and she still wouldnt let me go back. its been 3 years now, and I cant draw nething nemore.

They made me go to Chinese School. Actually, I wanted to go at first and I made top in the class and had everyone as friends but the school was Taiwanese-Chinese and taught differently so they force me to move to this new one. I was going to quit this semester but then the teacher praised me in front of my mom so she forced me to stay T_T.

I don't think it's a stupid topic. I like this topic because I know there are many parents out there does that. And I want to hear what others get to say about it.
Once, my mom told me to go to the morning church days with her. But I said no so many times. But she bring a stick just to give me a sign that if I don't listen to what she tells me to do, then I'm going to get a spankie from my mom. GOSH I was just so mad!!!! Because I wanted to sleep more because in like few hours, I'm supposed to meet with my friends. And my mom made me sleep at 4:00am because she wanted someone to massage her. I couldn't take the pain groaning and moaning, so I just massaged her because I was annoyed by the noise coming out of her. Anyways, the other times. When my dad told me to go skiing with him when I HATE SKIING! Cause he loves it doesn't mean I have to ski too! He even fought with me for like the whole 2 hours saying that if I don't go, then he'll have to shutdown the computer and hide it somewhere. -_-;; Anyways... maybe your parents think if you draw more, you'll be famous someday. Maybe they have those artistic mind in them and knows that you're the right person to keep on trying. I know you don't like them, but at least try once more? And if you don't like it. Then tell them how you feel. |

sometimes when I'm on the computer and my mom is right next to me watching t.v. she yanks my hair and tells me to get the freaking remote (which is right across from her)!
also, she tells me to try out different food in a restaurant, and some of them are super gross. |
