the official parental complaint thread Options

[*not_your_average*]

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.

Flame me if you wish:

Just ask yourself this Q:

Why are you complaining?

Yes, your mum or dad may not be perfect, but why complain? By complaining, you are just saying there is a problem, but not doing anything about it. Instead of complaining, why dont you try to fix the problem and do something about it.

Just put your anger aside, and you will realise how lucky you are. Just look at this:

If you wake up in the morning with a healthy body, you are already more lucky than a few million people, who may not see sunset.

If you never suffered from war, never been to prison, never suffered torture and never experienced starvation, you are already better off than half a billion people.

If you have the freedom to beleive in any religion, you areluckier than 3 billion poeple

If you have food in your fridge, clothes in your closet, have a house to live in and a bed to sleep on, you are luckier than 75% of the people in the world

If you have money in bank and in your wallet, you are the luckiest 8% of the people in the world.

If you can read, you are already better off than 2 billion people who cant

If you have both of your parents alive, you are very rare


Cant you people see how lucky you are? Yes, life may not be perfect and parents may not be perfect. But shouldnt you thank them for bringing you to this lovely world?

Love breeds love, hate breeds hate. Put your anger and hatred aside and you will realise how lucky you are.

Dont complain because of something you dont have, be thankful of what you have right now.
