Pretty personal question here...

It's pretty curious but I had never had problems with my parents. I spend most of my childhood and my days as a teenager being a pretty pacific human being that didn't cause any trouble.
They ignored me and I ignored them. I guess people can always count on his own parents for the main things of life... I think this is not my case, they have failed me in every fucking moment I needed them but well it's not that I hate them. I understand they are people that weren't prepared for having childs and that's all.

Last years however have been like hell. I am 22 and I am finishing my studies but dunno why now it's when my father begins being a pain in the ass. He is always bitching for stupid things and I am always being the target of his rage. Fun thing is I also have a brother who is 18 and that never receives a complaint yet he does the same things as me.


I know this sounds like a teenager drama but well...I am not that kind of person who likes to argue. I always shut up and save the nasty words for myself...but latelly I feel like if was the evil responsable of all my family's troubles.

My mom likes me, the rest of my family hates me because I didnt choose to become a mormon-o-matic or listen to what they had to say.

Thats ok tho cause none of them actually matter, I just got placed in the same location as them for a while.

Wow sounds similar to my situation, I've also always gotten along with my parents, but over the last year or so my parents (my mother especially) have totally changed towards me...Im 24 and I really should have left a while ago (im in the process of buying a house I work all the time so im hardly even home) I help out with groceries and what not (phone electricity cable internet). But lately my relationship with my mother is not very good, shes always mad about something and she's starting to charge me for stupid things. I left my dishes one night cause I was too tired to finish them and woke up to a bill for $20.00 which I thought was a joke but then she totally blew up at me. I left the door unlocked on accident I get blown up on it's insane, the craziest part is that it never used to b ethat way I think maybe I've just worn out my welcome...I dunno....and of course my unemployed niece and her husband both live in the house and don't get any shit from her whatsoever....

Yes, I know how you feel.

I tend to have supper alone. I prepare my food and eat it around 8-9 PM. I always try to leave the kitchen as perfect as I can because as soon as my father arrives from having a beer (or an entire box...who knows) he examines everything in order to find a chance to blame me on something.

Well, today I left everything ok. However I left my plate on the table...I had to attend some questions in the msn and I forgot to put it on the dish washer...


Well, my father arrives home...And he has began saying that he couldn't live that way, that this house was a disaster (fun he says this because most of the stuff out of place is his STUFF) and that living with me was a torture.

I think this is pretty unbeliable...but I swear it's true

 

[Fragamemnon]

As long as the discussion doesn't get anywhere near children, relgioin, or relationships, I get along with my parents amazingly well. We still haven't made our peace on those issues, and the relgion one won't ever really be properly resolved, but the children thing should go away as soon as my brother/sister start having kids, and the relationship one when I get married.

No I totally believe it ......lately I deal with the exact same thing. At first I was like wtf but now I just ignore it I have to much going on planning a wedding and buying a house. I do feel like this last year has damaged our relationship (which used to be great) to the point that when I move out she'll hardly ever hear from me

 

[DCX]

My mom and i get along great, we have had our disagreements but all in all, we see eye to eye. My dad on the other hand...night and day...his value system is fucked, and how he views things is soooo screwed up. I couldn't care less for him....

[Great King Bowser]

My mum and I get along fine. Now my mum and my older sister (only by a year) now that's a different matter.

Hell, I'm typing this from my laptop downstairs because my sister just got back and they're kicking off. :lol

 

[MrPing1000]

I'm very close to my parents. I have no issues hugging my mum and my dad, guess its a european thing

 

[McLesterolBeast]

Don't have any problems with my parents.

I feel bad for taking so much (money for school), but they dont seem to mind. Works for me.

 

[Manabanana]

My parents and I get along really really well. My dad and I have a lot of fun together, enjoy a lot of the same music, television, movies, etc. We'll call each other a couple times a week to shoot the shit, complain about the news media or something. He's a republican, so we have a lot of fun debating. It never gets mean or heated anything. My mother and I eat a lot of the same foods. Organic stuff, vegetarian, healthy and odd snacks, etc., so we're always sending strange new stuff we find to each other or e-mailing some new recipes or something. My close friends are like family to them, so it's great having the d00dz over. My parents love seeing everybody again and catching up on everything, ordering some pizzas and watching movies or playing some video games. Looking forward to heading home for a couple weeks on Sunday ;D

[Freestyler]

I get along awesome with both my stepmum and my dad (my mum died when I was 8), although I tell my stepmum way more about my private life which she then relays on to my dad, I think. They're always there for me and seems like they treat me better even after I came out to them, which makes me so happy

 

[Arwen]

I get along pretty well with my parents. They raised me and my brothers and sisters to always show a lot of respect them and other people older than you (ie: aunts and uncles) so even now, if we have an argument, I feel weird "talking back". But it's not like they're insane control freaks either--they put a lot of emphasis on being successful and striving to be the best without giving any of us serious complexes and they work super hard for all of us, so even though they make me mad sometimes, I never stay that way for long

 

[Pochacco]

I've never had any major problems.
My mom constantly annoys me, but it's all good. I'm pretty quiet with people in general, including my family.

I will say though, that I draw a lot of motivation from my parents. Perhaps not so much now, but during school, I would work hard and get good grades partially for them. My mom would be very proud of me. I think, if it weren't for that, I would not have cared.

So, note to parents: show pride in your child's accomplishments, no matter how big/small.

 

[Suerte]

Eh, close enough I guess. I'm closer to my mum than my dad, but I think most gays are like that. We never talk about the gay thing though, so apart from that I'd say we get along fine.

 

[karasu]

I get along with my mom fine. I haven't spoken to my dad in eight years.

 

[belgurdo]

My mother and I get along well, but since my father is pretty conceited and thinks he knows it all we don't get along greatly. He lost his job three or four years ago and is still struggling to find another one, so he's home for most of the day/year. As a result, he likes to invent situations in which to make himself mad at others in order to entertain himself (example: Whenever my niece calls dropping hints about her brithday and I have to sit and listen to him go on a tirade about how spoiled she is, and when I tell him that she wouldn't think of her grandparents as present factories if they actually did something entertaining once in a while with her instead of giving her presents all the time, he'll try to turn the conversation around to keep the blame off himself. Very pathetic.) We have moments where we tell jokes to one another and have fun, but most of the time we tolerate or avoid each other since I don't want to hear his self-loathing "why doesn't anyone care about me?" bullshit every time I'm in the same room as him, and he probably doesn't want me to retaliate with an argument whenever if he says something too stupid

He also gets very caught up in the moment about certain things when he's frustrated about something unrelated to me. On some days, I'm the best son on Earth to him and we have fun, then another day he fails at fixing lawnmowers and then suddenly he's threatening me about "my place" because I asked him which car he was taking to go get some gas for the red can

 

[Ford Prefect]

Something about that damned testosterone... I don't get on well with my dad, either.
