What the hell is up with parents?

[Dashman]

I agree with most of this topic. If I ever get a mistake on something:
my mom does not care
My dad hits his head with his hand making horrible noises and give me a 10 minutes explanation on anything.

I have MANY other problems with them, like my dad that tries to spy me and my brother the whole day. When he's at work, he call us by phone like once each 30 minutes. If he's at home, he enters in my room every hours or so, or calls me for any reason he have, especifically:

he is on his bed and wants me to turn off his light
he wants to see a DVD
He calls me to tell me a joke he got on his e-mail
He forget why hge called me
He wants to discuss something about school
He wants to annoy me
He wants to know if I'm studying or doing homework
some more...

Sometimes, they drive me crazy(specially my dad), but I can't do anything. Yep, I talked with him and got out of his room 1/2 an hour later, so I'm not trying it again. I'll just live with it. After all, without them I would not be here, right?

I'm pretty cool with my mom. I'm a little spoiled, yes, but I generally don't ask for much to try and counter-balance hearing that I'm spoiled. I try and do my best in just about everything to try and earn what I get, even if my best turns out to suck. Although she won't admit it, I'm pretty sure I'm the favorite over my little brother and sister, both of who are annoying, disrespectful little assholes. So I feel I earn my lack of problems. My dad, however, is a hot-headed, lonely, disrespectful shithead. He always overreacts, always punishes me the most, even when what I've done is less a problem than what the assholes have done. He grounded me for a reasonable amount of time at the first progress report of the school year. A 43% in U.S. History is pretty bad. He said that if I could bring it up to at least a 60%, I would be ungrounded. At this time, I still had computer privlages, just no games. Kinda boring for me. So I try. And I bring it up to a 59%. Almost. So he takes evrything away. By the next progress report, I'm passing History with a B, but now I'm failing three other classes. Bummer. So by the second progress report, I pass everything with all As, Bs, and one 79.3%, which rounds to a 79, a C. He still won't let it go. So my mom twists his arm into ungrounding me. I'll probably be grounded again come this Friday, though. I'm getting my progress report, and I haven't done too good. But "Double Grounding" me over one point seemed pretty irrational. I guess I'm glad that I have that out of my system now...

You suck! That's like a lot of money! That's like two thirds of a pay check! You are gonna die in the real world! You rich *****! You little retard! You spoiled little ass burgler! You burgle so much ass! Go die right now! You stupid little spoiled *****!

There's a difference between not strict and spoiled.
And if they aren't strict, when you leave home you are going to suck.

But, you see, I'm not really spoiled. My mom never buys me anything, except when Christmas and my birthday comes around.

[MrMister]

For Christmas I got a bike.. it cost about $100.
That was like a long time ago though..
For my birthday I got a helmet.

[TMlunder]

Xbox 360!? well now thats not right. lol thats not right. How come i dont have one? Oh yea thats right I dont have a job.....Oh and big deal you dont get anything before your birthday and christmas! You dont need all the crap!

[Arcanagirl]

Well I know one thing for sure, yes parents make poor choices, then even more poor choices. My mom enjoys the yelling, true fact, I can tell her good news and she somehow makes it into I made a bad and I need to be punished. Its a power/control fix a lot of parents get off on.

Sometimes it is worry or fear of losing their children, but other times they just enjoy the yelling.

I have bad news for everyone who ever thought if you move out when your 18 + you wont have to deal with it anymore.

Wrong. I still deal with my mother, but I get to say things to her that would normally bust kids and get away with it. The bad news is when you get married.

The in-laws!

Now you get 2 mothers and 2 fathers or 2 of something.

I have 2 moms now... 0 dads

Ok I thought my mom was bad, I love and miss my mom. My hubbies mom has issues. She tried controlling the wedding, the way I should raise my kid before it is even born. She made a joke one day when she came in saying...Hows MY BABY, ITS MY BABY IN THERE.   I am freaked out. Love your parents even if they are bad to you, cause you never know when you get worse.  

Oh man, I need a mother in law spray to keep her away, she is scary and...I dont know, the only people who dont see it is her only sons Ben and Greg. Ben my hubby, greg my brother in law who is married to Lisha. Even Lisha deals with it.

The lady makes everyone throw away things or burn them. She burned my moms presents to me that I wore. Said their evil. She burns all of my sister in laws stuff. Feel lucky your mom isnt psycho and burns your favorite stuff.

She wants to burn my movies and games that are not right for me to watch or play. Oh I hide all my favorite stuff. you cant let this women see anything you own that you love, cause some of it may be evil to her.

Oooo, I fear talking about her, I think she is going to be online following, or tapping my phone calls.

I hate talking bad about parents... My mom was considered the worst mother alive in my book. Now she looks more like heaven, while I live nexy door to my worst nightmare.

parents have issues and have bad ways of punishing you when you been punished enough and may not understand you, but try to understand, some parents are so crazy even the worst parents seem like angels of happiness....

Hope you enjoyed my rant and rave on the subjects of parents and THE IN LAWS. Cause this is all fact, and I told my hubby a few times, if she wont leave me alone, I take my happy self back to California where I came from to get away from her.

Scary lady..... *hides*

Something happened with my gf's parents today, I just felt like it was worth sharing.

We were in town taking her brother to a karate lesson. Afterward we were heading to the library just because there was no where else to go. All of the sudden her mom calls her cell and says "You're cat got crushed in the garage door". She was practically crying at this point, for good reason. She asked if her mom could take the cat to the vet, her mom wouldn't, then she asked if she could come home, her mom wouldn't let her. Then her mom continued and started blaming the cat being crushed on her because she fed them in the garage. Normally parents should support their children, or at least comfort them.

Luckily though the cat was fine

[Drace]

Dude, that isn't a mom. That's Phyco Mom!*

*Note: Spoof on Al Bundy's favourite show, Phyco Dad!

[Almeidaboo]

Iīll be 100% sincere with you Trev: You say those things (and Drace agrees) because you are young and dumb. And youīre not dumb cause youīre dumb, but because youīre young.

Youīll understand someday...maybe. The best of luck you ya!

I have seen alot of in my opinion..retarded parents. When your parents are so worried about you that they wont let you join a school sport team, I think thats when the line is drawn. I mean, I understand its just cause they love you, but cmon, thats really bullshit. Or when they want to control and plan your future so you can "make them proud." If they're not proud with whatever you chose, they suck at parenting. Unless you're like a hooker or something. The only real complaint I have with my parents is that my father, if it isnt going to help a career in AC and Conditioning, its a dissapointment. Because I personally am working on a career in art or music. But of course, thats not impressive enough =/.

[charaman]

Parents are people, they make mistakes. Once you figure that out, that bit of knowledge dosn't help much, because while they raise you they somehow get it into their heads that they have to appear infallable, making them act all high and mighty.

Its a vicious cycle.

[Revolution911]

When beating your kids makes you feel high and mighty...something is wrong >>

[charaman]

yes, something is.

People that do that arenīt parents, cause to be a parent you have to be human first, therefore, these people arenīt parents cause they arenīt human.

Yes, but lets stay on topic people. This isn't about bad people/parents who physically abuse or neglect their children. This is about complaining how unfair your nonabusive, cherishing parents are when they discipline you for your stupid behavior, seeing as you by no means reflect their skills as a parent in raising an upstanding citizen and overall healthy individual.

I used to complain, just like this, but I now know better. If I only knew then what my parents were doing for me. You mature a little when you realize this. And, no, it doesn't happen suddenly, just because your X years old, but it takes a proper attitude, and mindset, plus a little meditation on the past to gain such appreciation for the people who have birthed you, fed you, payed for all your ****, put up with all your ****, and simply tried to raise you with a better life than they had a child.

I know this doesn't apply to everyone's parents, but there is definately a difference between an alcoholic or drug addicted parent beating their child because s/he wanted some bread to go with their water soup, and a parent yelling at you and sending you to your room.

Did I just rant? I think I did. I think this topic has derailed a bit.
