the official parental complaint thread Options

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.

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.

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.
