Why should anyone have to take that cr@p from their parents? (Grrr...)
They shouldn't, that's the reality VB. If kids these days would put half as much effort into telling their parents that they're screwing up as they do into rebelling, there will be many more happy families. Or more endurable families, I should say. My dad used to discriminate against me because I'm a girl and the only times he actually communicated with me was to swear at me for doing something wrong/bad and calling me stupid.
I remember when I accidentally drove into the open window with my bike as a kid, my dad came storming out there like a bull gone awol and I got such a huge fright, I fell off my bike and called him a 'sot', which translates to 'pig' in English - it was the only time I've ever sworn at my dad to his face and it was more reflex than meant because that's the dialogue I had with my siblings. Anyway, he got so angry he physically threw my bike across the yard into the wall. Stuffed it up, no more bike, and I ran to my mom like the devil was chasing me. It was an awakening for my dad though, I'll never forget his face when I called him that - and honestly, that was nothing in comparison to the things he called me.
And then I grew up, figured a way to be cheeky and headstrong without actually rebelling or offending my parents. And when my dad tried to call me names thereafter I would fly into him and threaten to dump the dogs at the SPCA because maybe if THEY weren't there he'd treat his CHILDREN better (my dad loves dogs more than people, for real). And when my dad would criticise whatever I'm doing, I'd either drop it immediately and tell him to do it then, or I'll tell him to go away because he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. And, yes, it's now gotten to a point where both my parents try to control how I'm parenting my children, telling me what to do and what not to do, and my response is always that I wouldn't take their advice seeing as their method of parenting screwed me up. That's me, blunt to the point.
Really though VB, there comes a time when you have to step up and look them in the face and tell them, see here, I'm a person too, and I don't like the way you talk to me, so if you don't have anything nice to say then DON'T. Yes, they're your parents, but they're just people too. Unfortunately they are people who need to get a serious wake up call. That's just my view on it.
Thinking about it, I should probably have sent all this in PM form. But I'm really lazy right now.
It's 3 a.m. The kids won't let me sleep. Gimme a break, I'm allowed to be sloppy once in a while.
CT: :O Whoa, really Mom? We have
psychological problems in the family? :dry: Tell me something I don't know.
Still, the little girl in the blue dress freaks me out. I
knew there was something off. Sorry grandma, but I'm not visiting you again >_<
