Why the hell do they have to be so annoying sometimes? Now then, don't get me wrong, I appreciate what they've done for me. Sending me to a good school, buying computers, paying for internet. I appreciate that deeply. What I don't appreciate is how despite getting good grades in school, and overall being respectful to them, they fucking treat me like an 8 year old.

"Can I play a game?"
"NO ITS THE WEEKDAY YOU CAN'T"

Despite having tons of free time each weekday and still getting A's and B's, I apparently can't use my good rig for gaming. I have to use some shitty old laptop. Why? I'll never know, when I ask I get no answer.

"DID YOU FEED THE DOG?"
"No one second"
"SEE THAT COMPUTER JUST MAKES YOU LIKE A CRACK ADDICT"
*Yeah, she's normally fed at 5:30 and it's 6:00. Someone call PETA*

Hmm, yeah my dog doesn't mind a late dinner. She eats twigs ffs, I think she can handle 30 minutes more hungry.

Over and over and over. And now that they're divorced it's even more annoying.

"Let's see a movie!" (this is my dad btw)
"I'd rather not" (I've been seeing movies with him since I was 3, give it a rest)
"Okay... you need to stop spending so much time on the computer"

Yeah I spend lots of time on the computer. Why? Because it's one of the few things I'm good at. I suck at sports, I'm just by nature not a social person. Kthxbye.

"Let's go to a restaurant" (my mom)
"I'd rather not"
"SEE YOU'RE ALWAYS PLAYING THAT DAMN GAME"

Now then, my parents do speak spanish to me, so though some wording might sound a bit harsh it does'nt sound too harsh in spanish oO

I'm sure some people will call me a 'spoiled brat' or something like that. I'm sure others will say 'deal with it'. To those groups I say: fuck you. This is just a rant for me to put on the internets to vent. I honestly don't think you should fucking talk if you're not dealing with this sort of jackassery on a daily basis. I will probably check back on this topic but I don't really care much for it. I've vented, so now I'm gonna make some dinner and play some 2142 later. Since, you know, I'm a crack addict

You'll learn when you get older, that you don't want to waste your youth rotting away behind a pc (which I didn't because I didn't have online gaming). Having said that, do a variety of things, live, be successful, then rot away playing online

Be happy they do that, because one day, they'll be gone, and you'll miss the attention they give you. I don't live with my biological father, and even though we live under the same roof and work in the same building in the city, I rarely see my mom. Just treasure it for now, if you're tired of it... move out when you can. It's that simple. Overall, they just don't want to lose the connection they're supposed to have with their son. Technology can really distance people. Gone are the days when you go over to a friends house and just hang out, because now, you can hang out on BF2 and kick ass, without ever seeing each other! So, eventually, gone will be the days of family gatherings... maybe have an e-dinner?

My father died when i was 4 years old, lived with my mom and my step dad until the age of 16.
After that I moved out...
Have never regret that, I learned a lot taking care of myself (How to use money etc) ..though it was hell the first years when you had almost no money at all...
But man they were annoying..especially my step dad.
We even had fist fights during the last years at home...

They care about you, you will appreciate these things more when you move out to your own place.

I hate this the most.  Grandparents and parents always make comparisons to themselves and it seems as if they were perfect.  When I was younger...blah blah blah...

Times have changed, if I was born in the year you were I would be just the same as you, so shut up.  If you were born the year I were, you would be the same as me right now, so what the fuck.

Your parents sound like they've been watching too many videos about video gaming and violence.

I love my parents,spending a week camping made me appreciate them more.

But still,it would be easier to go to Mars than try not to anger my mum on her period.

At the start she's like "I've got really bad period pains so don't annoy me".So i don't say anything for a few hours and go to try and fix our new printer which is broke in like 5 differant ways and she go's off on one because i haven't talked to her or her boyfriend.And if i do say something she'll turn it around.



Can't wait until she stops getting periods.

You have to think, at the low level in their thoughts, all your parents and grandparents want you to do is propagate the species, if you are sitting in a computer chair cooking your balls, your not meeting that aim.

I live with my girlfriend and get booty everyday and my mom still asks me if I've eaten enough every time I talk to her.

I'm 16 and I don't have any of those problems. My parents know my passion, and also my career, is computers so they respect that and let me play as long as I want to.

"You spend way too much time on that computer!"

"Madison called..."
"Oh shit! *gets off comp* "
"But I told her you'd rather spend time on the computer than her"
" "

"Why dont you play sports anymore? I miss going to your games and watching you play."



I get those lines regularly.
