My parents waking me up early?
Hi.Ok so i have a tv in my room,and every saturday night,my parents will talk about different subjects,Like sex,Tv shows,movies etc.The thing is they cant control their voices,so i hear everything and even WITH MY DOOR SHUT i can still hear it.They dont talk on any other night except saturday.Ok so their talking keeps me up untill 2 or 3,when i get so tired i just fall asleep.Then in the morning(sunday) They will wake me up really early and they think its funny.They have done this for a month now,And no matter how much i ask them to stop waking me up,(Or sometimes i get so tired or stressed i start screaming)They wont stop.They wake me up at 6,7 or 8.They make Jokes,Like my mum came in one morning and started singing Wake up the sunshine is out!,and this morning to wake me up my dad kept saying SHHHHH really loudly,when i tried to get back to sleep he talked and went to my door and giggled pourposly.

What is it like to watch Titanic with your parents?
I watched it with my mother when I was in 12. Car scene was there. I was seeing it with full intensity forgetting that my mother was around. After the scene I looked at her. She noticed that I looked at her and looked to me and given a cute smile. I am feeling embarrassed about what I have done. Then my mother kept hand on my head and said "It was common thing in life. Don't feel embarrassed." I felt cool and involved in film again. Undoubtedly It was the best film. Me and mom came out crying at end of the film. Next day She came to me and asked "Do you understood what they had done in car? Don't lie I seen you are gobbling at that time." I said "Yes"Mom: How do you know that?Me: Mom why this conversation now? I am sorry mom. Please don't make me feel embarrassed. Mom: She given a small smile and asked "why are feeling embarrassed to talk about sex which is God's pleasurable gift to humans. It was natural thing. Why are you feeling bad about it? Our foolish Indians made it look like a taboo. It wasn't. Sex was nature's beautiful gift. Don't feel bad about it. It was common in everyone's life. You are born because of My sexual contact with your father. Some Indian Bastards created feeling that Having sex for pleasure is Sin. Don't believe that shit. I think you are grown now and it was right time to speak on those things."My mom said that I need to know about sex completely and Don't learn improperly which will lead to wrong consequences and wrong perception. My mom said that she too was gobbling at that time. She said what we have to do in Sexual life and what shouldn't. That makes me more human. That saved me from thinking wrong about sex. Now I whole heartedly enjoy sex whenever I am involved. I don't feel guilty when I am doing it for pleasure. I don't feel embarrassed watching Explicit scenes/Porn. PS: My mom is my sweet heart all the time. Even I said to my wife before marriage "my mom will be always my first priority, Even I don't care you when my mom was there." She accepted that and married me. After 1 year My mom became sweet heart to my wife also. Of course My mom was sweet heart to my dad.Thanks to the film which informed my mother that I was grown up and which made more closer to my mother. My mom is the only person in this world who knows every inch of life including embarrassing secrets and most pleasurable things I had including affairs I maintained in my college life.
I'm 19 and my parents don't let me stay up late or sleep in til noon, what do I do?
This is directed towards most of the other commenters.I see a lot of “No choice,” “It’s overrated” and “Get a job” answers here.First, this person is 19. For fuck’s sake, they should be allowed to experiment with their schedules! Hell, I was allowed to do this when I was 14.Secondly, if staying up and sleeping in is truly overrated, then you must have had experience with that as well. Let this person see for themself and judge thereafter, not avoid it altogether just because some helicopter parents said to.Third, it could be difficult to study for college and have a part-time job simultaneously, depending on the college degree and job in question. Nonetheless, off-days do allow for leniency.Now just because you believe that “not getting[sic.] the good sleep” leads to shit hitting the fan doesn’t mean that it actually will.
My parents are loud at night?
I recently asked a question about this, because we have open ceilings (dumb idea) and my parents room is right under mine. They loudly watch tv and talk while I try to get to sleep. I always try to go to bed by 8:15 latest to get enough sleep, I wake up at 5, but I almost always end up falling asleep about 2-3 hours later. I wake up very exhausted and I am often in a bad mood to my friends and family. So, I asked how to stop this pattern a few days ago, and people told me to talk to them about it. Well, I did, but my mom got mad at me for it. She always seems frustrated when I ask her to please turn the tv down or be quiet. I really don't want to make her or anyone mad, I just want the 9 hours of sleep I should be getting. What should I do? I was thinking of just sleeping on the treadmill in the basement every night until they get the point, because that way I am much more likely to get my sleep, and not make anyone angry. I'd wear headphones or something like that but I have to be able to hear my alarm, plus it's very uncomfortable. And, I already quietly play music. Any ideas? Thank you! :)
Have you ever let your children watch TV all day just so you could have a break?
I don’t have kids. But I was once a child, of course.My parents had occasions where the TV was the babysitter.Particularly on days when I was, say, sick at home, and had nothing to do all day. Or maybe the Twilight Zone marathon was on, and I got a special privilege that day/night to follow it.Not something you want to lean on, of course. Depends on the age of the children, as well, I guess. Not something you want to keep doing, over and over again.But if the option’s there, more parents than not have, at least at one time or another, let their kids watch a lot of TV for much a day, just to keep them entertained long enough so that they could get other stuff done as parents (and, yes, I’d say, taking a break from the kids count as “getting stuff done” as a parent).Doesn’t make them bad parents. Not unless it becomes so routine, the child expects this kind of treatment at home.When you do things in moderation, a little TV-splurging, once and a while, even for children, is okay.
How old are your children and what time do they wake up on Christmas morning?
My brother is 11, almost 12. I’m 14. My sister is 16. My parents have ALWAYS had the rule of sleeping till 7 on Christmas. We typically sleep in the same room. We used to get up early; at like 5:45 and watch tv on someone’s phone (or whatever electronic, my sister and I didn’t get phones until 13. Charlie got his today.)This morning, Tanner and Charlie got up at 6:45. I got up at like 3:00.* At seven o clock on the dot, we run to our parents room and they moan and groan and hold us back at least fifteen minutes before we finally get to our presents.None of us believe in Santa anymore, if there was any confusion.*I just couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t excitement. Typically, I stay up until like 2:00 in the morning and sleep until my parents wake me up (11:00). Because I knew we were getting up early, it was my plan to go to sleep early. Well, that didn’t work. I was sleeping on a twin mattress on the floor (I’m used to a queen mattress and box springs), my sister had lights on (they were plugged in by her bed, so there was no way I could unplug them without waking her up.), and I was too tall for the mattress. Plus I normally listen to football games to lure me to sleep. Not because they’re boring. Because I’m not good at visualizing so it’s basically listening to people talking about nonsense. For whatever reason, I didn’t put a game on. I thought I’d put a podcast on, but it didn’t work. I never thought to put a game on. I dunno.So right now I’m on three hours of sleep. And the chances of me going to bed before midnight is slim. Also, I’m at my grandparents, and will sleep with my cousins, one of which who recently begun snoring. And my brother who snores AT LEAST 3/5 of the time. And my cousin? This isn’t average snoring. I’ve turned on full volume music with earbuds, out noise cancelling headphones on overnight the earbuds, covered my head with a pillow, and can still hear it.Sigh.Wow this went off on a tangent you didn’t ask for. Sorry.
Sleeping past 12:00 a clock, PARENTS HELP!!!!?
Nope, it's not unfair at all. I definitely wouldn't complain. Sleep is extremely important. You need to do your activities in the daytime hours. I can see staying up to midnight from time to time, but regularly (and then until 2 am) is a little much. You are still growing and need sleep in order to grow, in order to establish your memory. Part of maturing is realizing that you must sleep in order to maintain your health and if that means sacrificing a few hours of Xbox, well, that's what you'll do. Your parent's rules are very reasonable. And what are you going to do when you have to get up at 6 am for a job every day when you're an adult - or even for a University class? You need to grow up and realize that conforming your sleeping pattern now will benefit you long throughout life.
What ridiculous rules did your parents have when you were a child?
Not me, but Mak C on Quora here wasn’t allowed to watch TV on Sundays because it was ‘Jesus Day’.Imagine waking up, wanting to watch Ed, Edd, and Eddy while you munch down on cereal. You take out the milk. Anticipating your favorite show, you pour the milk and watch as it floods the Cap N’ Crunch pieces. You spill a little bit on the counter, but it’s okay. It’ll probably be fine. You plop down on the couch. Oh boy! Cartoons are great!All of a sudden, a taller woman is blocking your view from the TV. It’s your mom.“(Your name), do you know what day it is?” She taps her foot impatiently.You hang your head down in shame, letting out a sigh. “It’s Sunday…”She takes the remote and sweeps you out the door. Before the door clicks shut (leaving you to your impending doom), you hear her mutter something under her breath.“Today is the day of Jesus.”I find this really weird as I grew up in a non-religious household. I stopped believing in God when I was eight or nine. No disrespect to the people who do, it’s just unorthodox to me. (Get it?)I don’t even think my friend and her family went to Church on Sundays. They just weren’t allowed to watch TV.
