Cal Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Don't get me started on GCSE's....I'm gonna have to do retakes if they don't think the grades are high enough....a B is a really good grade! Thanks, it was the highest in the class. I'm dreading my birthday! Why? :confused: I have no iidea why, just instinct. Mum always brings be down at the dinner table too. You see, I'm not the worlds best eater, and that gets my parents really annoyed. I hardly eat sweets or drink crap, so it's not like I am stuffing my face with crap all day. But one day, I ate everything, so the parents had nothing to complain about, so that got them angry! Mum then said, "You know, you never say that you like your dinner, I find that really rude". Well, if I eat the stuff, then I obviously like it! Then they kept on nagging.... So, when it's my birthday, they are going to point out my flaws.
Jess Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Awww! Poor you! I tried talking back when my parents did something similar...it turned rather nasty, rather quickly
Cal Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Awww! Poor you! tried talking back when my parents did something similar...it turned rather nasty, rather quickly Oh yes, I've done that! Not a pleasant sight!
Jess Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 It really isn't. I discovered that my parents know words that I never would've imagined that they know - if that makes sense. Hence why, when I'm at home, I stay out of the way on here. But even then Mum comes in and manages to find something to nag me about.

They always say that teenagers are immature and stupid. They obviously havn't taken a look at themselves!
Jess Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 I know, I reckon they just act like immature teenagers anyway sometimes. If she's on a really bad day, Mum blows if I dare to do so much as to sneeze in her presence. World War III breaks out.
Emmadolly Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Even though i have a 3 and a 5 year old. I also have a 15 year old step daughter. And with the step daughter comes the mates, and the way they chat to each other about their parents shocks the hell out of me. Their parents i went to school with, and the way they act is incredible. I feel your job as a parent is there for advice and guidance, and to do your best to make sure they will be aware of social exceptance( my next door neighbour needs lessons on that ). When they are older, no matter how much i tell them what to do, i feel it is best for them to make their own mistakes, and learn from them, the same as i did. I think there is to much keeping the youngsters under the mums apron strings with teenagers, so then they rebel and go off the rails, and then other parents tarnish their own kids with the same brush. IMO anyway.

Not a pleasant sight! I can only speak from my own experience, when i was a teenager my mum was having the change ( CAL female stuff ) she was a horrid mother, nasty at every opputunity she could manage. She would pick on me for anything and one day i had a go back, there was a huge argument that lasted for hours. But i do still remember it as, it was the day i became ME.
Jess Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 LOL The joys of womanhood....guys have it so damn easy! That's my moan for the night, the unfairness of the sexes!
Emmadolly Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 My moan is that parents don't treat their children, as individuals in their own right. I believe that respect goes both ways.
