I'm 17 and my parents treat me like a kid?
You will always be your mother's child. That's a logical fact. Now, the fact that she still regards you as her "baby".. that would get on my nerves, too. I'm 34 years of age. My mother doesn't say that to me, thankfully. You should be grateful that she loves you so much. At the same time, I can imagine how that must feel... you may just try to reason with her. Let her know how close you are to adulthood, and you'd like to see a little more adult talk! I am the "baby" of four. I have more maturity in my little finger than the majority of my siblings.
I am 16 and my parents treat me like a baby?
Yeah, I know.... pits being a kid. And personally, you likely are too sensitive, and your parents really haven't taken much of a look at you to realize that you are indeed 16, not 12. As well, 16 year old kids have adult feelings, but don't have language to tell their parent what it is they want... and parents as well, haven't yet realized that you are growing up. In your place??? Do you have a counselor at school who you trust? Go see her. You may even have to stay after school to get an appointment, but if this is important you to... hey, go for it. Talk with her about what is going on in your house. And maybe you can get her to set up a conference with you and your parents, and she as the referee. You'll need to tell her first just exactly what you wish to discuss, so, hon, you gotta have a plan....a list. What is it that you want?? Make a list even before you go see the counselor. It might look something like this: 1. I would like to be able to order my own food at a restaurant after consulting with my parents if what I have ordered is on the budget. (Dont expect to be able to order the $49.00 dinner!!!!) 2. I would like to pick out my own clothes. I'm fully aware that revealing and strapless stuff is out and it will just be returned. I understand that my clothes must be appropriate for school. 3. I'd like to be able to earn money so that I can go to the movies with girl friends, and buy things I might like. And on your part, you need to have an idea of what it is that YOU need to do to have these privileges.... it's a two way street, sweetie... what are you willing to give in the way of responsible efforts around your house to get freedom and money to do some of the things you'd like to do???? And be aware, that your parent have ultimate veto over any of your choices or friends they don't like... that's just the way it is until you leave and are on your own. EDIT: Shrieking and screaming and loudness will get you nowhere. Don't do that. All that may happen is you get grounded in your room forever. Helpful?
Im 16. my parents treat me like im 6. how do i get them to stop?
I'm 16 years old. a junior in highschool, can drive...but guess what. to my parent's im STILL in kindergarten. I am an only child...16..oh yeah of course i have a facebook. well, my mom does too. only to play that farmville game. well my dad decided he would start using my moms facebook to stalk me on mine. And my status' usually include song lyrics, quotes..some things i write which..are almost all about love. and he gets freaked out and starts asking me if i have a boyfriend, if i like anyone. I never tell my parents anything, because it's not possible, if i tell them one thing they take it and they mend it and they turn it into something that could make it the end of the world. I get good grades in school. I don't ask to go out with my friends a lot. I'm at home 24/7 with them, i'm in my room. I don't ask for much. I don't even have a car yet i use my parents care if i want to go somewhere which is usually never cause i dont want to nag them. I don't drink dont do any kind of drugs..and still im that little girl to them. I don't want to start rebeling and make them even more worried about crap. but..i don't have a close relationship with them, we don't talk about anything. I found out about all the princess stories and santa claus and sex and boy and girl parts and masturbating and all of that crap in school. They pretty much kept the whole world from me. I don't want them to start treating me like an adult, i want them to start treating me like a 16 year old and not a baby anymore. I can take care of myself, i have a job..and i tryy getting through to them but nothing works. and now the newest trend for them is freaking out if i have a boyfriend..i've always told them when i have a boyfriend. what's the big deal now. pleasee tell me what i can do to get that through to them because i'm desperate.
Why do my parents treat me bad?
Every person has this feeling. Just stay calm till you can manage your own things. I prefer that its the only best way to make them know that they have treated you badly. The way you live should make them realise that they were mistaken wrong for right. Just wait….Patience pays. :)
Why do my parents treat me so badly?
Hello. I am 23 years and a graduate from a top university, where I graduated *** Laude. I have never been in trouble at school or with the law, I don't drink or smoke, I hardly go out with my friends at night and have tried to play by the rules my whole life. But my parents treat me like garbage. I have a younger brother who is 20, and for some reason they treat him like the KING. I would like you to please understand that l am very level headed and would not exaggerate anything I am saying here. My mother takes his food to his room and a tray, he will then ask for juice, or more food or whatever, then he leaves his tray on the bed and my mom takes it out of his room and cleans it up. My mom treats him like- well the best way to describe it would be how Dudley's parents from Harry Potter treat him. It really would! Dudley oodly kins and all! And for me, well I wouldn't wish such a treatment on anyone! They just treat me like I'm worthless, I don't know how to describe it- it's like anything l do is a nuisance to them... this has affected me SO much in my life. After being treated like a nuisance for so many years at the age of 23 I genuinely just feel like I have never seen love from my parents. I genuinely don't feel loved.. Recently there was was a shooting at my school but I wasn't there that day- I remember over hearing my mom say that she was worried that i might have been at school and i WAS SHOCKED... like i was genuinely shocked that she would even care that I might have been killed... THAT is the summation of how they have treated me. I am beyond trying to repair it because I am an adult now and theres no way I can ever forget/genuinely forgive. but what hurts me is that their treatment has truly affected my LIFE. in so many ways. It has given me anxiety, low self worth, unsure of everything i do, you name it... I used to be so productive and such a go getter... but now I just have played into the role of how my parents have treated me as a good for nothing loser... I wish I could lift myself up... but this is just pulling me down...
My parents treat me like a slave, what should I do?
I've been treated like a slave by my parents.Ever since I was a little girl my mom started forcing me to do chores. In my parents country, the girls have to do the cleaning chores and the boys work only when they're around the age of twenty. It always bothered me because I have a future ahead of me, hopefully. My parents are conservative about changing their minds. They expect me to always cook for my whole family including my brothers who just lay down and play video games. Every time I try to have a talk with my parents about me wanting to work when I get older, instead of always cleaning after my family, I end up tearing and just leave because they never understand me. My mom ends up yelling at me and my father laughs at me, thinking I'm stupid for my childish conversation. I don't think this will ever end. I feel like my mom only gave birth to me just to treat me like a slave. I'm useless in life and think it's going to stay that way. My parents are the only people who brought depression to my life. I don't know if I should continue fighting for my rights, or if I should just be the girl my parents want me to be. My parents are very persistent to make them interpret my thoughts.I'm glade to say that my kids won't be going through of what I've been through.
Help! My parents treat me like a prisoner!?
Okay. Let me just start off by saying that I'm 17 years old and a senior in high school. I live in the USA and I'm going to graduate from high school in about a month and a half. Despite all of the influences that could have made me do horrible terrible things as a teenager, the worst thing I have done is miss my curfew--once. That's it. I've gotten good grades and done most everything right. Now that I'm off to college my parents are treating me like a prisoner. They have EXTREME issues letting me go. They pester me with questions and go through my stuff. They say that "even though I'm leaving for college, I'm not moving out"...THAT MAKES NO SENSE! I'm desperate for advice. Please.
