Parents Making my life a living Hell!

[Drummer Ben]

1.) They always Act like I'm the only one who thinks differently, who doesn't conform. They always shoot down my ideas, call them retarded ad call me crazy. I tell them I guess I am crazy. Basically I've realized I'm not going to get support from them in my life and I don't need it.

2.) They are obsessed with controlling me. My mom can't stand I'm 18 now. She still feels she has to do my hair and dress me. When I don't look the way she wants me to look, If I don't let her do my hair she freaks out and says I'm trying to make myself look ugly. My dad now is a yes man so if my mom calls me ugly, he'll call me ugly. I feel alone in what is happening to me

3.) Any time I take out of their day is a waist of time

4.) I can never have a conversation with them. When I talk to my dad he's usually mad I'm interrupting

At this point I've realized my parents are never going to give me any respect for some reason. Every time I point it out to them they tell me their doing nothing wrong. I would move out right now but where would I go. I haven't a job, a car or license, still in high school, no friends are willing.

I'm not putting this on here to complain. I want to know who has gone through this or is currently. I want to know I'm not the only one and what is some advice to get away from my parents. Truly appreciate the help!

well I don't have to go through that but no your not the only one. your 18 though. if it is that bad you can always move out

Don't worry all parents can be like that

[Drummer Ben]

Wish I had a place to go other than here. They don't understand I have to make my own mistakes to figure out who I really am. It's crazy though. I have to walk on eggshells around the house. If I make one little mess they yell at me like a dog to pick it up. When my dad gets home from work it's not hey buddy or let's do something fun. It's let's see what you did wrong well I was gone. Do this do that, pick up this my father always just shooting me commands. I don't respect him for that. I respect him for other things but not that.

And my mom. Always yelling at me to take a shower and do my homework when she knows well enough I don't need to be reminded.

Probably the thing that rattles me to the bone the most is they can't stand to be wrong and they can't stand when I'm right. when they are wrong they change the subject. They always act might superior. In their minds proven wrong by our son hahahah.

I wouldn't let it bother you too much. That's just what parents are like, they can't really stand to admit that they're wrong. Heck, we're probably the same! A tip I'd give you is to try and get out of the house, maybe that could defuse the tension a little. Go hang out with some friends, go for walk, whatever.

Good advice. Get my license soon so I don't have to rely on my parents to bring me everywhere. The thing that bothers me the most is them calling me crazy if I become obsessed with something. What the call " Obsessed" I call passionate. They think I'm crazy because i'm not looking for a 9-5 office job. My parents don't understand my career path so they take it as disrespect and immaturity. Until I make a "success"of myself, they will not give me respect. For instance, I'm buying myself a piano. My dad laughed and said why would you need a piano, you don't play the piano. I tell him why not? Everything I do is always questioned for being abnormal or trying to hard. In a way I feel my dad wishes he had the luxury to start all over again, to be young again. It really does feel great to have nothing to lose. I respect my dad for working 9 hours a day job so we can afford food, a house ect. I feel my dad had no choice, had to rush fast to find a job seeing I was born right after he graduated college. Times were different back then and you had a kid when you were young. I choose a different path than my parents and they think I'm being ungrateful. Their lives truly turns me off. I could never do what my father does but still respect him for it. He has no choice. Its just extremely hard living under this environment.

Just try to find a way so that you are able to compromise and agree with them. Most of the time it is just tough love, I know they care and love you very much. I don't know your whole situation, I mean as long as you aren't getting abused, there shouldn't be an issue. All parents are strict to some degree. I know because my parents are and they have to get me in order.

I'd rather have parents who are strict and are honest with me and have structure, than have pushover parents who I just see as friends. That becomes a problem in my opinion. It's very common and you should know it's how they are sometimes.

I do wish my parents, my dad in particular could be both my friend and my parent. That's what I believe a good father is to their son. I'm not calling my father a bad father, I just wish we had a closer relationship. My dad is at work all day, comes home and watches T.V till he passes out. He'll get mad if you interrupt him from the T.V. And all he does when he gets home is go after me about the bad things I've done and how lazy I am. I want a better relationship with my parents. Unfortunately I feel nothing is going to change until I go out into the real world and prove everyone wrong. It's a reality I'm willing to accept.

On the bright side you don't get your butt whipped..... I do and it suckss

[Semi_IronMan]

Can't u move out or something

[CuteGuy889]

My mom does really embarrasing stuff too..but she may mean well
1) If I fall asleep in a friends/cousinsour house she casually takes my pants off leaving me in my briefs...Even in the mid of a group with girls!!!-did this till 14.

2) If I get a stomach ache in car she gets me to take my pants off and sit on a plastic pad in my briefs just in case I have a poo accident ..with older girl cousins who ride with us..I had 2-3 poo accidents and this saved my pants.

3) If I want to go for the "big job" in outside home she tags along, undresses me w/o closing toilet door and waits outside holding my pants.

4) When I fall asleep in my room she takes my pants off then if she finds my undies dirty she takes them off too..and won't care to close the door. I am in full display to my cousins who live close by and drop on& off.

5) Since putting on sm weight after being skinny all my life she frequently brings this up in conversations infront of me..with freinds/relaitns. She'd go on about how skinny I used to be, how cute I look now and that I'd probably get fat in college like my dad...It is soo embarrassing I get red in face.

These are done good naturedly but are embarrsing to a teen guy...she won't get it at all.
