Can't Talk To My Parents

[JoeHillsTSD]

I love my parents and all, but I find it almost impossible to talk to them. Well, I can talk to my father about almost anything. He is really easy going most of the time. But it's my mother who I find it hard to talk to. And she is usually the one I have to go to when I need or want anything.

She stresses everything. And I mean everything. Even the little stuff, and I just get tired of it. Yesterday she spent an hour lecturing me because I didnt manage to wake up early enough (because my alarm didn't go off like it usually does) to catch the bus to a weekend-class session. She nags about everything, and it's gotten to the point where I rather be anywhere but home.

I can't tell her how I feel because I know she will overeact (she overtaxed to much of the stuff that my family says).

And now my glasses are broken. They got twisted Friday when I was slap boxing with a friend, and I twisted them back in position (like I usually do if the get twisted). This time, they broke, and I've been trying to avoid her ever since. The only way I will get them fixed is if I tell her, but I rather wear them broken, than tell her. (She spent 3 days ranting about my sister when she thought she had broke her glasses, which she didnt)

Things like this usually just result in a lie. I'll lie to her in order to avoid getting yelled at. But this time it won't work.

Idk what to do. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Sounds like my family. I sat down and just talked to them. Told them that the way they're acting, I'll leave the house at 18 and never come back. Worked, theyve been a million times better.

Like Matt said, the best thing to do is talk to them and try to resolve it that way. You can't just keep on lying forever. She nags you because she cares for you. If you have a heart to heart talk and point out that her attitude needs to change, she'll do it. Moms just want their kids to be happy, and if her behavior is making you unhappy, she'll probably stop acting that way. :)

Sounds like my family, I tend to distance myself from them now it just wore me down and we are not close at all anymore. I'd sit them down and talk before it gets to bad.

If you can't talk to your mom about it then talk to your dad. Just tell him exactly what you said here.

Just keep trying to talk to them see if it can get better
