Times your parents have driven you up the wall

[iceestarz 5,768]

I love my mom and dad but sometimes I seriously can't even stand being in the same room with them.

 

Like my mom has been badgering me about college and everything ever since the first day of my senior year. Its been like 3 weeks of school so far. Literally she is trying to get me to bribe some of my teachers into writing me a good letter of recommendation. I feel like this is an insult to character and I would feel awful if I did try and suck up. I'm not a terrible person in class...I'm quiet, respectful, and do all my work without any complaints. I may have been to 3 high schools in total, but she acts as though no teacher remembers me or even likes me just because I've had less time with them than some other people. Which is not the case, no teacher I've met except one has disliked me my whole life. And the only reason that one teacher didn't like me is because I went to the counselor and dropped out of pre cal after my jaw surgery since the teacher really sucks at teaching and I was going to fail and have an F on my transcript. So I retook pre cal this year and low and behold my grade is a 99 right now.

 

Obvi it wasn't that pre cal was too hard for me to learn, it was the teacher's crappy method of teaching.

 

Anywho, what's some times when your parents drove you crazy?

omg don't even get me started on what my mom does. She's ALWAYS pestering me. I could be in the middle of doing something, and she'll start talking to me. It drives me totally nuts because here I am trying to focus on something, and she makes it harder for me to do what I have to do. She just talks and talks and talks... I love her and everything but ugh. She doesn't seem to realize that when I'm in a state of completing my routine, I don't like to be bothered by anyone. It doesn't matter if I have my headphones in my ears or not. She just starts bugging me whenever she pleases. DX

YAS. I can't stand when I have my headphones in and my mom tries talking to me. Usually I'll just turn up my music to the point where I can't hear her at all and eventually she gets the hint. .-.

Mine doesn't do that, sadly. She'll always get me to take them off, and I'm sure if I didn't listen... she'd get really angry about it. There's really no escape from her. In fact, just now she was bugging me. She never gets the hint when I'm screaming at her either. She gets made when i do that. DX My dad is smart enough to get the hint because he's not like her. He knows when to leave me alone and often has to tell her to do the same when I'm in one of my moods. The only time he usually does bug me is for example to ask if I want a hot dog or something (which he cooks over the stove). My dad is pretty good when it comes to my boundaries and such... but my mom isn't.

I love my parents unreservedly but they are annoying at times, even if I do immediately forgive them the next day

 

Pestering.

 

Do you know what they do when I don't do something immediately? They turn the internet off.

Not "unplug a thing" they literally turn the my internet connection via the router software off. It is the most annoying thing ever. Oh, and I have time limits on my internet too.

Plus if my mother turns it back on she generally breaks it.

I hacked the router once, and my dad then rehacked it, then I re-rehacked it and he re-re-rehacked it, turned my access completely off (full block from the router itself not just the internet) and left it like that

If I was not an introvert/generally nice person that router would be in pieces.

Do you know how annoying it is for your parents to have control over every single aspect of your life? Internet and therefore social? Flick of a switch and I cant even talk to my friends. For somebody who likes to be independent this is a quite literally devastating blow every single time they do this, and its horrible.

I want to talk to them about it, the problem is I cant trust them. I tell them about something they immediately take it away from me or make it "safer".

I noticed a couple of weeks ago the internet time limit had gone. I was responsible, I got off at the correct times, they didn't even notice it was gone! The moment I go downstairs to prove to them its perfectly fine off BAM, block right back.

Trust nobody

 

Its pretty much like this with all aspects of my life, I would love to be able to talk to them as a responsible young adult, yet they still view me as an irresponsible child. I can talk light heatedly with them and laugh, but I cant ever talk about how I feel or problems I'm having, they will always stick their hands in and make it worse. I would be happy to talk to them like they were friends but at the moment I can only show them my outer shell and not my actual self, I hope to actually be able to talk to them when I'm finally 18 and moved out, have my own residence and be able to say ANYTHING without fear of repercussion. To be finally happy and open with them.

 

I love them in the deepest way you can love your parents, they are actually really lovely people. My dad is a mirror image of me (or the other way round) same interests, personality and humor, and my mom is a wonderful hardworking parent that does everything for her kids. But the problem is that they needs to lean back, let us have some freedom in the things we enjoy not just the approved hobbys. We cant even argue. The moment we start even a friendly debate we get cut off. This is one of the reasons I have retreated to my "fortress of a room", to actually talk to people properly, have a fun debate, and get those little bits I've missed out on. (I kinda share a love/hate relationship with my siblings, much like with my parents)

 

I'm really sorry about this rant, I'm ill and feeling slightly emotional atm. I may come back and delete this once my feelings clears up a bit. Sorry

My mom can get pretty annoying. To the point I start tuning her out when she talks about stuff. Although yesterday I really enjoyed watching her get so angry at the season finale of masterchef. I knew Courtney was going to win, and when she did my mom flipped her lid. It was hilarious. For once I got to watch her squirm. My dad on the other hand doesn't get on my nerves. It's really just his temper that scares me away from him. Just a weekish ago he got angry with the collegeboard website and started cussing me out telling me to go to hell and all this crazy junk. Yeah didn't go so well. Started crying and slamming doors. Other than that me and my dad get along fine.

Don't feel bad about posting this. If you're upset by some things happening in your life then you have a right to be upset.

 

My parents don't meddle in my life as excessive as that. If anything my parents are real chill compared to yours. Actually my parents are pretty chill. As long as I'm not out partying, doings drugs and getting pregnant they're fine with whatever. As long as I'm in their house I'm allowed to drink, only on the weekends though because of school. So I may not understand exactly how you feel but my mom certainly does try to butt into my private life. If I tell her about some annoying kid in school she'll go all momma bear and try to protect me. I'm like "mom I'm 17. I can handle myself. -_-"

 

That's just crazy. I honestly have no idea how you handle any of that.

[SnipSnap 432]

Mom keeps on annoying me... unfortunately it's for bad reasons, if there were any reasons. So whenever Mom's around talking to me about school or checking my homework, I get the feeling of "Mom, leave me alone, I can do this by myself".

 

My anger was actually leaking very very slowly, and boy, she has good senses. If I straighten out my fist in anger UNDER THE TABLE when she checks my work, I get in trouble... this kind of thing happens very often in the school years... WE GOT AN AVERAGE TEENAGER HERE

 

My dad?

Awesome guy.

 

The only problem is when he get into fits. It doesn't happen much, but when he does, it's a nightmare. He can even cuss. The only time he ever cusses AT ME is when he uses the words "goddamn" or "hell"... not something like "GO TO HELL" or "Fuck you"... so I'm good.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh that time I brought my Twilight plush to my home... things got a bit crazy

I got the uber protective thing too xD

Every single time I go to the park to get some air or something they say "stay away from the strangers/bad men" or something like that

*as a rather large person for my age, I am probably scarier than they are*

Honestly, its nice, but the protection is 24/7

Admittedly the times I normally go out to the park is 11ish... at night so they do have a right to be concerned, but the night is nicer than overly hot days, plus less people and more thinking room. 

 

 

 

That's just crazy. I honestly have no idea how you handle any of that.

 

I love them both to bits, I could never be angry for more than a day at them Idk

My parents know better than to do this. They understand the consequences of what will happen if they decide to shut it off. They don't really care what I do with the internet as long as I'm careful. Plus, I think it's also because I'm at an age where I can make my own decisions in life. They don't really punish me for anything unless you considering yelling at me a way of punishing me. Growing up it was really hard for them to punish me because I had a hard time understanding the issues with my actions. :/ That's how most autistic people are too. I'm not really spoiled or anything either.

 

Bottom line is, it's really hard for them to take anything away from me to teach me a lesson. I have gotten into fights with my mom where I've slammed my hands against walls, slammed doors and even had huge outbursts as well. I mean, as I said and as the person i quoted said... I love her and everything but... she drives me nuts. DX

[cuteycindyhoney 13,339]

All I can say is that my mom and dad often joke that they see more of me after I moved out! I visit almost every day. Trust me. Once you guys get a little older (I'm 35), you will treasure your parents!

I don't want to sound mean, but how old are you? If you crave independence, get a job and pay the internet bill yourself. Give some thought to finding an apartment, too.

You don't sound mean xD

I'm 16, in full time education, have a part time job at the library, they don't want me to pay the internet bill because it would be "removing their control"

 

I would love to get a place of my own, but I am going to have to wait a couple of years or so

For various reasons. I shan't list them, or this post would be novel-length.

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

My mother treats me like a little kid, and my dad is always on my case.

I love both of them, but I think one is too annoying and the other one gets on my nerves too often.

[iceestarz 5,768]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh that time I brought my Twilight plush to my home... things got a bit crazy 

I could only imagine.

 

When my mom caught me watching MLP a couple years ago she just looked at me and started laughing so hard. and then told the rest of my family.

 

and they all laughed at me.   jokes on them now, I got my 2 little bros to join the herd. 2 less people to laugh at me. YAS 

I love them both to bits, I could never be angry for more than a day at them Idk 

 

I understand completely. When my dad cussed me out I was a total mess. I ran out of my house and left like 20 minutes early with my mom to go pick up my brothers from school. 

 

and then I checked the mail when we got home and found out my pony hoodie came. then I ran inside so friggin happy and casually walked into the living room and showed my dad like nothing had ever happened between us. 

[Handsome Changeling 1,852]

When I first told my family I was a Brony my mother despised the idea and still kinda does, just not as bad.

We argued for hours into the night, she thought it was a joke, I really got angry towards her.

Pinkie is awesome! I would rather argue with my mother for a brief period of time and her not "mind" after a while, I say not mind but she still don't like it. Humph I don't care... She thought I was gay.... I ain't and sometimes I still argue with her over this but like I said she doesn't mind AS much as she used to.

[Dattebayo 2,850]

My mom constantly leaves the house for the whole day to hang with her friends, all while there's no food in the house.

She literally one time bought a pack of saltiness and a single can of tuna (for 3 people) and said "bye, be back at 12".

Pinkie is most awesome. Pinkie was my favorite up until season 4 when Twilight just suddenly started growing on me. Not to say I dislike any of the other mane six. They are all equally adorable to me.

 

At least being gay is the worst thing one could imagine. Well that and being a complete pedo. Swear, someone could be into Dora the Explorer and not be nearly as criticized as someone who likes ponies.

 

At least that's my take on it. It really disappoints me when someone takes notice of my love for ponies and starts to question me. I'm like bro it's a good show. Nothing less, nothing more. My friend found out I liked ponies, although it wasn't like I was hiding it. My binder is decorated in ponies and unikitty, I have a pony lanyard and I was fidgeting with a pinkie pie bottle cap key chain. Today she was all, "you really like ponies. Is it because of all the rainbows?" And I'm like welp, rainbows are nice and all but it's more than just a screen of refracted light.

[GeneralPinkie 3]

I'd say it's when they get drunk.  -_-

[DubWolf 18,684]

-_-

 

Recently, no. I do get upset when my mom baby's me to go to bed or puts a curfew on me... Or other things :okiedokielokie:. Dad drives me up the wall when he rages about how I'm not doing something right or is being ignorant, so I'll get angry as well :1, but well, yeeeeah.

[Envy 6,407]

Hm... Earlier my dad left the toilet seat up.

 

xD (I laugh now, but I was very irritated. I slammed it down. lol)

 

That's actually all I've got. I love my parents. There are some issues (like the stress/tempers, but it runs in the family and includes me. >.<), but I just can't complain much. They really shouldn't even have to keep me around at this age anymore, but they understand my circumstances and hardly ever ask anything of me. I can't complain.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

It gets annoying. But,to be fair. I am pretty much a lazy and spoiled brat.

[Commander Tangent 861]

They are typically chill. The only time they overstep my boundiries is when they do stupid shiz like search my backpack or question my friends. Only time I wanted to really wanted to avoid them was when I told my mother about having a boyfriend :/
