What to do if your parents are bugging you?

Ok my parents say that I am not pulling my weight around the house and that I dont do my homework. well sorry to tell you I do every thing around the house and my home work. at this point I was abut ready to kill my self. someone help.

Answer #1

Your position is exactly opposite of your parents - if what you’ve told us here is true, you’re a perfect angel, so they’ll come around !

Answer #2

Parents tend to be real sticklers when it comes down to pulling weight around as you’ve mentioned. The best advice I can give you is to give in to their incorrect assumptions of you not pulling your weight around (unless of course they’re being abusive, then there’s a problem that you might need to bring up to a family member you really trust or the authorities). In my experience, my relationship with my parents lagged my last few years of high school until the day I moved out. Once I moved out (and matured more) I love spending time with my parents and we totally get along better than we ever have. I just think you’re going through some growing pangs (dealing with authority/rules/etc.) I know I sure had those issues with my parents, I believe all children go through that faze. But it’s natural…so don’t beat yourself up about it and get to the point where you want to end your life…definitely not worth it…unless of course, like I mentioned, if they’re being abusive/over the top.

Answer #3

just tell them how you feel. Maybe talk to a councler. but be lucky you have parents. Some kids in africa have no parents and have to try to survive.

Answer #4

One day you parents will be your best friend. They want whats best for you…even though you might not think it now, just wait til you are paying the bills, then you will see why they get on you. Its hard to appreciate things when they are just handed to you. My advice to you is to go beyond what they ask and see what happens. If you were truly helping out then I dont think they would be getting on you. Maybe they see something you dont. Parents arnt stupid and they have been alive a lot longer than you. They know what their talking about. I didnt realize this until I moved out and started paying all my bills. You’ll see.

Answer #5

your just a whiny little b*tch, I been in the sich too..it sucks but you got to buck up..I did and there all good job…and now I get paid:p

Answer #6

Talk to them about it. If that doesn’t work you can talk to anothe radult that you trust. (I.e: Teacher, aunt, uncle, etc.)

Answer #7

Flick your homework in their faces and say THERES MY HOMEWORK.

Answer #8

Sometimes I feel that way when my Mom yells at me for getting a bad grade. I know I’m not stupid, I’m actually quite smart, but I just don’t acquire myself really. So I would just suggest talking to them about the pressure you feel when they complain to you and that you just need some peace between the 3 of you and support. Good Luck!
