Teenagers are more reasponsible!

Hibachi · September 2009

I have been noticing that in todays world, that the kids are more reasponsible than thier parents. :? My parents have worked hard 24/7, I have been taking care of my brother and sister since I was 13, while they where working, I clean the house, I make sure the animals have what they need. All the while my parents are at work. Which I am thankful that the economy hasn't affected us like most others, and that they are able to keep a roof over our heads. And I love taking care of my siblings. But, on the flip side when they are home I usually stay in my room becuase there is always something they have to complain about, like yesterday... Two of my dogs where eating out of the same bowl, the puppy we got a few months ago and one of my older poodles. Well, my dad got mad for whatever reason and so I picked up the dogs and seperated them and he got even more mad becuase I was showing the puppy that the other dog is dominant. Silly right? I mean all the dogs in this house are mine except for one. And so my dad thought I was being "smart" with him and hasn't talked to me in two days. :roll: The silent treatment?! Real mature. And when I work hard around the house all day they complain about how it's not done right..I think I have recieved only ONE thank you, I tell my parents thank you all the time. I don't have to go out with my friends..I don't have to do anything but sit at home with my brother and sister but I would at least like a thank you every once in a while. -breathe- XD Then tonight my boyfriend and his mom got in an argument. -don't ask how it started, it's personal.- and so his mom said that his pass deppression is no longer important. Just because he's overcome it doesn't mean it's not important...he struggled with that for 4+ years, and when I met him he was finally happy. And she makes me feel like I get in the middle of thier relationship, his mom has always been there for him and when she said that, it means something is going on, it even made him cry and he does not cry. I felt completly horrible...

I know exactly how you feel. I love my mom.. but. She had kids young, she was only 19 when my brother was born. So she never really got to experience being young and out there. Well, now she's making up for it. She goes out of town at least once a month, she goes out every weekend, she drinks, etc. And not that she's an alcoholic or a bad mother by any means, because she's not, but really? And she is the -cool- mom, she really is and I can admit I have an awesome mom. Everyone wants to come to my house because she doesn't care what we do as long as we're not hurting anyone or getting into trouble. But she also has her immature moments. She does the silent treatment thing as well as picking petty fights like a 12 year old. I understand she's an adult and she can do what she wants, but she has kids. \: She's lost 2 already and I'm beginning to slip away myself. She needs to learn when it's okay to live it up and when it's not.

Aw. ;-; I feel like I have lost me relationship with my dad, but me and my mom get along really well. But for now, I feel like I have to be the adult in every situation..kinda reminds me of those Verizon comercials. :P And I realize there are others who have it worse than me, but sometimes parents are so immature. :? Of course I am grateful for everything that they have done..but when you're in your 40's and giving your children the silent treatment that's a little extreme. :shock: Plus, I am under constant stress and when I get married and start a family of my own then who's gonna be there for my siblings.

My mom gives me the silent treamtment alot and if I just walk in the same room she'll leave. That and she doesn't many other immature things, and I personally don't think she was ready to have kids. Or somthing.

I would almost rather have no dad than a dad that does absolutely nothing but work(make websites) and then come up and yell at up until he goes to bed. I kinda know how it feels to have a "bad parent". My parents don't let me do anything fun. Never had the pre-teen sleepovers. He's NOT abusive, but he never goes anywhere with us. I haven't hugged him since I was two. >.> My mom's overprotective. I can't walk down the street without her watching me. o.o My friends say she's a stalker mom. xD /hijack Sorry you have to work your butt off with no response. You should say something.

My parents are really nice and all, but my family is quite complicated.. My dad isn't that good with us[me, my sister and my brother]. The only time that i dread, is when my mom goes to clean my aunts house on wed. nights. [we're a little low on money, not that we can't pay for anything.. its just another 50 dollars my mom can earn] My dad doesn't do really anything around the house, so that is one reason my parents are always fighting. the other reason is because my sister isnt the best well behaved child.. $:\$ every morning she decides to argue with my mom, which puts my mom in a bad mood.. so that makes her kind of crabby for the rest of the day. x_x this is when all hell can break loose. $:\$ when my mom is mad.. any little thing that someone does to annoy her, can set her off. and if i try asking her something, she'll yell at me. my family rarely goes a whole day without someone starting a fight or yelling. i know, thats how most families are. no family goes through life without fighting.. $:\$ but after so many fights and arguments.. dont you think we all deserve a break from it? x.x i know i'd like one.. the other issue with my parents.. is that they never want to hear what i try telling them if it involves me saying something about what my siblings have done to me. i either get 'i dont wanna hear it' or 'ok. i'll deal with it. just not right now' $:\$ i tried telling my parents for 4 years that my brother was being rude and immature to me[he was doing stuff that i said not to do, i dont wanna get into that though.] and finally, i went to my dad and told him.. he said 'ok. -bro's name- leave her alone. -my name- shut up and go away now' .-. i started crying and screaming at him and then my mom heard me.. she FINALLY had my brother and dad come in the room i was crying in and i was finally able to tell what he'd been doing for the past 4 years. i mean REALLY. 4 years of trying to tell them? $:\$ and, maybe you /should/ say something.. at least try to. just sit them down when they're both home, and explain that you would like a simple "thank you" once in a while. ;] trust me.. you dont want it to get as bad as what happened to me. i regret not sitting them down and /making/ them listen to me 4 years ago.

I know how you feel.

If you do the slightest thing wrong it ends up in a big ordeal. My parents argue a lot about money too, we have it but they think it should be spent in different areas, one minute my mom will want to buy something and my dad will say no, then it will be my dad wants something and my mom says no. -.-

This sorta makes me chuckle. I was and still am somewhat guilty of this.. feeling my parents are more immature than I am or was. All children, at some point, think they are smarter, more grown up, than their parents. Sometimes, this extends until you yourself have children of your own. You have to remember though, they are just people and are prone to make mistakes, just as you will at some point. If you have kids, there will come a point when they think the same thing as you are thinking at this moment. If you remember this and try to improve, you may not make the same "mistake" your parents did, but I guarantee you will make a mistake and your child will brand you as immature. Try not to outgrow your parents too fast, it's not all that fun being an adult trying to raise a child or children. You try to grab what happiness you can when you can and sometimes, that turns you into a fool in your kids' eyes.

Howdy, Stranger!
