How awful are your parents?
Both my mom and dad are quick to be pissed parents. My dad used to do things like beat me up for drawing on a cover of a notebook in middle school and beat me up and threaten to kill me because he thought I gambled. Fortunately with all the arguments me and him have had, I've managed to talk some sense into him this one time I shoved him back really hard in an argument and told him exactly how much I hated to be his son. After that, he became a lot more understanding, and tries to hold his temper.
My mom on the other hand would constantly insult me. She never beat me like my dad, but she would always make things up or insult me in front of her friends and to customers at her store. I confronted her about this at some point and she would always cry, scream, swear, and blame me and my sisters for totally made up crap (which she even admits to doing). I kept badgering at her to get an answer as to why she's such an ass to me and she tells me "because it's my generation", "I can't help it, there's nothing I can do". Then I ask her, you can't help insulting your own children for things they've never done? And she cries, screams, swears, blames me and my siblings for causing her to have such a terrible life, and storms off.
how bout u

[quote=superlold]my parents care too much
they will call literally every 20 minutes to ask if i'm ok when i go out[/quote]
i think we have the same parents...
I feel really lucky right now, both my parents are great and I love them.
my dad just works and provides. he never really has an opinion about anything. my mom used to get angry easily, but after going to the gym every day for about three years now, she's become more stress-free and easygoing
when I read about your mom I thought of this book we read in English class as to were the mom blames the kids for her husband's misery
yeah
as for me, my parents are pretty chill, other than some things
as weird as it seems, it kinda bothers me when my dad doesn't punish me for anything. if I get a bad grade on something, he'll just say something like "next time, do better" or "keep working hard". and it really makes me feel guilty because I feel like I disappoint him when I'm not really getting any better.
my mom jokes around a lot and sometimes she takes it too far. sometimes I think she's still mentally a teenager. if we go shopping and she'll ask if I like something and I say no she'll go "wat why, this is the style now!" like wat. it doesn't matter if it's "in style", it won't change the fact I don't like it. or she thinks I'm too picky.
My parents are pretty interesting. They have a tendency to make a big deal out of the smallest things, especially my dad's hair-trigger temper and his high blood pressure. As I grew older though, they cooled it down.
My mom comes home late every night from works and yells at me until bed time
They ignore me unless they need simple tasks which they would rather have me do (i get them water, etc)
They do tons of things for me but they do not consider what i have to say and most of the time when i talk they ignore me or tell me to stop talking (this is regular conversations not about work)
They shut off my internet and take away my laptop / dont let me chill with my friends if i dont feel like practicing tennis one day.
They track every website i go on the minute i go on it
They set my internet to disconnect every night automatically
They tell me that im always wrong because im 15
they tell me i dont know what im doing even though i'm an honours student who has a social life and plays sports
they compare me to stoners constantly
they treat my brother like a king around me to piss me off
they compare me to my brother
My parents are chill but I'm not as close as I wish I was with my dad.
I'm not too close with my parents, and they just let me do whatever until my sisters object. My dad spoils me because I'm the youngest and my mom is a complete stranger. I have unconditional love and respect for them though. I don't think I've made them mad since middle school.
Most adults are seldom qualified to be parents.
My parents are really relaxed.
