Why Parents Always Bossing Us Around?

Well simple..until you’re 18 you’re under their rules and what says goes..lol..nothing you can really do about it..i know it stinks..my parents wouldn’t even let me get my license..they always said when im 18 i can get them..lol..i was one of the few kids at school who didnt have my license..and all of my friends had them..but me..but parents are just crazy..im not sure why they act so crazy..lol..im sure they felt the same way about their own parents when they were a kid..llol

Parents are always bossing you around caz they can. Its their way or the highway and truthfully the highway sucks. so just wait it out till ur 18 and can do watvr u want. try to show that ur mature tho it will help alot. i grew up wit my granparents and they were the same thing aghh. “your skirt is too short” “you cant go” “youre not old enough”

True… I Have To Wait Five Years To Get A Freedom,,, And 5 Years To Get My Own Credit Card,,, (LOL) And, 5 year to surprise my mom on her birthday :D

why on her birthday?

If you were to go out and try to live alone at this age it would be hard to pay a college degree with your parents not around, so stick around a little longer. Don’t worry, you’ll get there. ;)

Coz Its Special… :P

I am truly sick, but they dont believe me, duh…

Your parents are there to protect and take care of you. They pretty much stand there and make sure you don’t do anything stupid from the time you’re born until the time that you leave them, and sometimes past then. Their entire purpose is to take care of you and to teach you, to form you into a participant in society. You just must not have been sick enough. They’re trying to teach you that having the sniffles isn’t a good enough reason not to go to work. You can’t use having a stomach ache as an excuse when it comes to your boss, so your parents shouldn’t take it. Suck it up, go to school, and you’ll feel better if you stop thinking about it.

It’s not so much until your 18 and you can do what you want. Yes at 18 you can leave the house and start off on your own. (If you ready that is). You are also living in their house and have to respect their rules. The same rules and respect they have been trying to teach you over the years. It’s easy to be young and want some sort of freedom, especially when you don’t understand whats truly out there. Parents job of raising a child is not easy at all. We try hard and can often be met with disrespect from the one that we gave shelter, fed and taught for 18 years. It’s when you’re on your own and starting to feel the real pressures of the world is when you start to understand what we were trying to impose on you. So yes, parents are bossy. But it’s nothing compared to what you will experience when you are finally on your own. And while you are living in their house, you should obey, respect and appreciate the rules they are imposing upon you. You’ll appreciate it later.

so you can become a responsible, respectful, and good around person Trust me its smart to listen to your elders I learned the hard way :P

Have you noticed how adults never have this question? Like they never wonder why their parents ‘bossed them around’. Simple answer, you’ll get it when you get older. As for not believing you’re sick. That’s because the majority of kids will prolong their sickness past the point when they are really sick in order to miss school. If you happen to be a rare exception to this rule, you’ll have to forgive your parents for being skeptical.

ihatebossingaround, Unfortunately…I know what you mean… there was this one incident…I was like about 5-6 I think…I was feeling really sick one weekend on a Saturday or Sunday. My mom decided we were going over to my uncles house…(I kept telling her mom, I am really sick, I dont feel good…and felt like I was burning up with a fever & sick to my stomach!) She didnt believe me nor did she care so she made me go kicking screaming & crying hysterically til we walked there. The second my uncle’s wife opened the door…guess what happened…All over her…:P I remember looking back at my mom & saying I told you I didnt feel well & you didnt believe me. (I bet his wife really hated me for that! I also bet my mom was so embarrassed…lol.) You know…if a child says he is sick…and you think they are lying take their damn temperature…if you dont have a damn thermometer go & get one…its your job as a parent to listen to your kids when they are telling you that they dont feel well!
Dont argue with them, take them to the doctors to get a nice fat shot…we’ll see how well they suddenly feel when having to get dressed for the doctors visit! (that is how you know its fake or not!)
Remember…not all kids lie about feeling sick…stop manipulating your power…if its a teen then dont even waste your time…temperature.. ASAP! no fever…chk the throat for redness…if you suspect they are sick like clearing their throat…coughs and seeing your kid too quiet…check up on them see what they are up to…maybe they are lying in bed with the chills…Never, ever, assume anything or take things for granted.

Hope this helped.

It makes them feel big. Always have respect for them but who says they are always right? Usually them. If u don’t agree, make your point calmly. If you go nuts they use it against u and u have not chance of getting your own way and if you explain in a normal manor they should listen. If all else fails, rebel as much as possible and tell them after you behaved cause they didn’t listen when you were mature and offered a calm, reasonable explanation of how u felt. Telling them it was to teach them a lesson usually helps as well.

At some point, most parents stop bossing you around, and at that point, you’re usually an adult. But that aside, you’re perfectly right. Then again, some parents never stop, and their adult children are usually pretty whiny. …

I dont actually remember my parents ever ‘bossing me around’. Perhaps I was spoiled or maybe I was just never overly demanding, but I pretty much got everything I wanted. Oh, and if someone is an adult and they feel as if their parent is still controlling their life, that’s their fault, not the parent’s fault.

Because if they don’t you’ll be asing yourself why didn’t they boss you around. you’ll than them latter.

The problem with something like this is that you never can know, because every situation is different. For example, lets say a parent follows a kid around and does everything for them, making all of their decisions until they’re about thirteen. They might end up with a child that has learned that the decisions they make aren’t right and that their parents are better at making the choices for them. I think this might count as learned helplessness, I’m not sure. They might get to the point where they don’t know what to do in any decision without their parents. So is this the parent’s fault or theirs? Since the parents taught them through conditioning them, through taking the control on every decision, that they couldn’t make the decisions themselves, or is it their own fault for not just sucking it up and figuring it out? I know what you’re saying. Kids always think that parents are bossing them around for no reason, and they’re usually wrong, their parents are just protecting them and making sure they don’t do anything too stupid. But there are exceptions, huge ones. I’m not exactly sure why I responded to your message in the first place. Maybe it was the “You’ll have to forgive your parents for being skeptical” part, I’m not sure.
