anyone sick of parents? — Page 2

Maureen? What? Which one's Maureen?

Okay... yes, parenting should stop when the child is able to fully make his own decisions.

Mother-henning should be outlawed.

Oh... I haven't watched SVU in a while. How's Elliot and the whole children/wife plot line going on? (Obviously not good if that's the topic of the episode)

Guess what Plum? The Marcy Park reference was for Lindy.

But since I am your own personal straw person (please can your sexist lingo, thanking you in advance), feel free to make a dig at me based on your not understanding a reference. Your condescension is tres revealing, coming from such an objective "on the other hand" kind of a person as yourself.

This is NOT the place to complain, Lindy2. This is probably rude, but really. People here are not your therapists, and unless you start paying us, we will not listen to you whine.

"Expressing your opinion". You may have done this in a very bratty way. It wouldn't be hard to believe. Regardless, you need to figure out that you can't pick and win every battle in your life. It was one little thing, you might as well go along with it. Don't make a fuss over something that small when the risks are things like your phone and car.

Posts like this- 'OMG, I caan't stand themmmm, I dont need my parents at all' make all of the teenage residents of this board look bad. We can do it on our own, thanks. No help necessary.

How much money would you like for that assessment, insomniak?

Run Away - Yep that's the way to go Come on you want to act like adults

Lindy, I would recommend putting together a band like me and my friends. We're emo, and that means we tell it like it is re: our feelings and insights and our hearts and stuff. And our pain, which especially when you are an overachiever like me and you with our striaght A's, can be shrouded by our academic success and the envy of those around us but if you cut us we bleed, right? So, maybe you can be a singer/lyricist?

And GreatestJournal, and DeadJournal, and Blogger...the list goes on and on. Like I said, I can think of a bunch more off the top of my head. :)

If the blog websites were directed at me, which I think they were, I just want to let you know that I have one.

However, if I did not post here, I would not get to enjoy the wisdom of you folks that I have never met.

Hang in there, I know you are frustrated, and even though it is not ok it is. There are worse things. My parenting stopped yrs ago, now my kids ask advise about their kids.

Once I asked my son if I were a good Dad, he said I would of never wanted another one, to this day I tear up when I think of that precious moment.

Funny... I moved to another country to get away from family. When that wasn't far enough, I moved as far away as I could. Now, 17 years after I left, I'm trying to move closer to home. The thought of being so far away from not just my parents, but my entire family, is just not fun anymore. Especially 'cause my parents are older. You just never know.

It was a combo of family and country... and yep, eventually my plans include moving back home.
