Do I Look Stupid to You?

[WednesdaytheIII]

My question for you guys is: Does anyone in your family ever treat you like you're stupid?

What I mean by that is, let's say you're doing something for a family member or something of that nature. Whatever they ask you to do is something that you would do in everyday life, yes? Do they ever feel the need to explain to you how to do what was asked of you? Or explain to you how to work something that you already know how to work?

Almost everyone in my family feels the need to do this. And it pisses me off so much! They blatantly treat me like I know nothing of the world at all.

Another question for you guys: Does anyone in your family treat you like you don't love them?

This happened recently to me, actually. My mom is sick with a nasty cold, and I don't want to leave her alone in case she starts coughing so bad that she can't breathe, or something else bad happens. Well, this guy that likes me (he doesn't understand that I'm gay) asked me to hang out with him and another one of our friends. I already mentioned that my mom was sick, so I told the guy that I can't, and that I'm sorry.

He decided to get smart and say that this is really getting annoying. That pisses me off so bad. So I give him a piece of my mind. After that I go hang out with my mom for a bit and told her what happened. Her response? "You just didn't want to go did you?"

... Thanks mom. Thanks a lot. Make me feel like a heartless bastard why don't you?

So, has any of these scenarios happened to you before? How have you dealt with them?

[Wonder.]

Yes. My Grandma always explains everything. EVERYTHING. It's quite annoying.

As for your mom, I dont think she meant it like that. I think she was probably just thinking about how she would expect a teenager to react, and when you didn't go, just assumed. Not trying to be offensive or anything, but most people I know wouldn't stay home with someone who's sick.

bahaha my mom does. she tells me to do more things, and then when i try to do things sometimes she gets all "What are you doing? Stop you don't know how to do that!" She doesn't give me a lot of credit.

And she does assume a lot like your mom did, and always falls back on "I raised you so I know what you're thinking.

It's harsh how your scenario played out. I normally just bare with it and look for support from elsewhere or from myself.

Well when I lived with my parents, I had a really bad relationship with my step dad (since I didn't have a dad I'm more of a mom's girl) Ofcourse I resented him for taking my mom away so we routinely got into harsh fights. My chore growing up with them was he would make dinner (which would always be a disaster because he would make several things because he couldn't chose what he wanted to eat) and I would have to clean up his mess afterwards. Sometimes If I came home late and was just too tired to clean it I would leave it and get up early enough to clean it before he saw but a couple of times he got up before me and saw and verbally ambushed me and called me really hurtful names. Parents can suck sometimes for sure.
