Ha ha ha ha ha I hear ya. Nice perspective though KT.

Yup.. if they don't help me and all they want to do is start arguements.. i have every right to wanting a vacation

dude, milk living at home all you can. I'd go back to the days of living at home, no ex wife or kids, or bills, yeah...I'll trade ya!

Ya, if you only knew what we know now. LOL. Of course, I had a good childhood and no problems so I can say that.

Yeah, I love living off my parents income! =P

I'm getting tired of working around their schedule, and I can almost never go to any of my friends houses because they either "don't want to drive me" or decide to go somewhere on the same day that I had told them that I wanted to go somewhere a week ago. It's frustrating.

here here!

well parents r parents, and uve lived with them ur whole life so wuts a few more years. if things start to get destructive then mabye its time to seek some help. if they want to start arguments, dont give them a reason to. if they still try to start arguments then try to leave them alone.

lol, dont say that ;o.

 

anyway yeah, i know how you feel. i need a vacation away from my sister. all she does is whine and fake stuff.

So, I guess Im the only one that actually likes there parent's company and is greatfull for all they have done for me??? Last time I checked, kids SHOULD revolve around their parents schedule not the other way around...

I love you man!

 

You do have to take into account that most parents work everyday and when they have spare time sometime they need to unwind also and not just pack up and drive you everywhere you want to go or give you money for everything you WANT not need. I could go on forever but I will stop now.

I understand that they've done a lot forme but a vacation is all i ask for.. lol nothing bad nor permanent..

Yeah I know what you mean Medic. I was told by my mother to clean my basement and it lasted from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM on saturday as well as fileing with her. Although it wasint fun and I would have much rather been playing BF2 but it was good for me. Think about all the stuff I will know and be able to do (cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, and much much more).

 

And it will help train me for my adult life! I will be able to keep up with my adult life and know when things have to be done.

Although a nice vacation would be nice every once and a while (I recomend Sleep over at good friends house).

Oh, how I love college.

try sleeping over a friends house, it SOMEWHAT helps

Salute to those that posted good common sense that parents have much stress from work/bills/chores/kid concerns to deal with and matters and people like their children to worry about, needing understanding THEIR way.

 

When I was before and during teen yrs, I remember thinking negatively about one or the other, but was still appreciative of the other things they did for me, even if all they could do was feed and cloth me. I was fortunate to have it explained to me by them that they were having problems making enough money to pay for the house, let alone the food and cloths. I was told by them they would do whatever else they could for me when they could. That I could ask for anything but understand they simply may not be able to say yes.

 

As for the possible "nitpicking" about one's appearance or organization and cleanliness of room... I realized after moving out on my own and further educated my thinking once I had to think for myself ... I had much to be thankful for ... the list is endless ... start with house being paid for, food, cloths, anything else were bonuses, like bikes, toys at xmas and birthdays, despite creditors knocking at door for payments, swimming lessons, sports, some of which i hated but later greatly admired them for keeping me in, etc ...

 

as to keeping neat your room and your appearance ... i realized later, although they maybe could have gone about it a nicer more understandable way, it was or my benefit later in life ... because to be attractive to a mate you must be clean and cleanup after yourself or other sex seeing mess will think you are helpless and lookin for maid ... being organized, clean, well tempered with no temper tantrams will teach you how to better improve your life and job and relationship possibilities ... etc, etc, etc.

 

so if anyone's parents seem to be picking on them, remember they are worried about your future possibilities as well as their own money and free time to relax worries.

 

One of the many rules they told me, that i admire and usually remember, is we all need to think of always even in the face of a violent loud shouting cusser is this ... "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". To improve, when someone not talking nice to you, or so you think, stay calm, nod head, acknowledge their comment, smile, say i see your point, i'll think on it. Or something to that effect because you take the wood from their fire (possibly fueled by other worries of theirs) by saying something agreeable to them thus helping them relax so they may leave you alone for the moment since you seem in agreement, thus you now have time to relax and think about what they said, why, etc ... how best to handle ...

 

Also, when you feel down or angry, ask yourself could things be worse. They always can be. This helps you reduce the tension or worry. Count what you have to be thankful for. Instead of what you regret.

 

Now get to work soldier Count the "positives", not the "Negatives", and work on being and helping others feel more positives. It helps you feel more positive too. Much better then shooting negatives out wherever.

 

ps: it's best to vent to people that you know for sure really care about you ... your family, when/if they have the free time from their demands and worries ... regular friends don't usually want to have that burden ... they may endure it but you risk losing their interest in you if you do, or make a habit of it ... BEWARE MAKING A HABIT OF VENTING ... it's not good for you ... the odd time is human ... but in the right place, right time, right people ... practice being strong, but nice and caring yourself ... you'll get more respect from people by only ocaisionally venting, expressing your ideas of how to deal with it ... accept without argument what you here back ... food for thought ;-) you have a lot to be thankful for i'm sure. get your thinking more at what YOU should do for you and other's opinions of you ... build your self respect in nice self-respecting organized logical thankful ways ;-)

 

Sorry if i come across like a demanding parent or "the TAC preacher" ... j/k ;-) I don't always "practice what i preach". ;-) Butt atleast I think about it. Don't get very angry or drunk or drugged because in that state of mind you have no reason circuits working in your brain. ;-)

 

And for a closing laugh, I thankyou, if you don't make a habit of this, for helping ME feel a little bit better ;-)
