parents - the bane of ones existence

Carilious · 22nd July 2002, 12:37

Well, my alter ego wanted me to post this on behalf of her to air her frustrations over her parents. Last night, they took away the modem. Now she has no internet, no television (the power point to the tv requires a key to work...), and no phone (her mum flushed her mobile sim card down the toilet a few months back). So yeah, err...share some of YOUR parental complaints. Or something. Over and out.

Twilightseer · 22nd July 2002, 12:50

I assume that the "alter ego" you mentioned is the other person who shares the account with you to spill bullshit on these otherwise respectable forums. I guess we just have to collectively thank her parents for providing us with this much sought relief.

ElChevelle · 22nd July 2002, 13:09

Amen to that!

Parents?
They put you on this planet, they fed your face, they even washed your crappy ass when you were a baby.

And you do nothing but bitch about them?

Carilious · 22nd July 2002, 13:34

Twilightseer: All I ever see you do is bitch and moan. Seems it's always your time of the month. Boohoohoo, no, not my precious forums! Pathetic.

Anywho, you're missing the point, ElChevelle, it's not like we don't appreciate everything they've done for us, cause we do. But haven't your parents ever done something to tick you off? Haven't you ever spoken out against them? If you answered no to either of these questions, then you're a damned dirty liar.

I'm absolutely sure deserved it.

Wait...just had another thought...
I'm sure you didn't do anything,
to get things taken away.
Even if you did, it's still not your fault.
It's all your parents fault.
They made you do it, and now it's their fault,
you don't have what you want.
It's all their fault.
Bad parents.

well, you should have either
1. stolen the key, hidden your mobile and locked the modem to your pc
or
2. not done anything wrong.

I actually do have a parental complaint. My only parent, my mom, is an extremely fragile alcoholic. Last week she "tripped over the cat" and broke 4 toes on her right foot. She spends $70 a week at the liquor store on whiskey, gin, vermouth, and cigarettes.
If I could only save up $10,000 for a down payment on a house.

If the person in question is stupid enough to throw a stone from within the glasshouse, then it's their own fault if a panel breaks. If they throw it from outside, they should have the common sense to throw it away from the glasshouse. If they hit the glasshouse and break a panel, then they should just realise their incompetence and stop throwing stones.

Oh, and if you live in a glasshouse, what do you do about privacy? Is it frosted glass? I wouldn't want the neighbours to be looking in...

And you'd be ever so slightly 'cooked' in hot weather...

parents - the bane of ones existence

It's rather hard to exist it you never had parents(at least for now it is)

and the only real complaint I have about my parents is about my Mom. she has never apologized to me in my life. she is just one of those people who is either right or angry. At first I tried to reason with her, and found that futile. They I tried to provide her with undeniable evidence that she was wrong, I got in to a bunch of trouble during this phase. They I tried yelling back at her, this silenced her, for a while, but also resulted in not being able to talk to her about anything for a week or two. after that, I just stayed perfectly calm, no matter how far off the handle she got. this really pissed her off, and, while she yelled louder and longer, the grudge went away faster, because I had done nothing other than whatever it was that I was getting yelled at in the first place. finally, I realized that I could never win, started agreeing with her, and then doing my own thing once she walked off.

I've been giving this a lot of thought recently, and came to the same conclusion... I need to step away from the computer... do the things I used to... even being bored... I haven't sit and just be bored for a long time... I loved that...

Easier said than done, some of us are addicted to the computer...

What I'm trying to say, is that I (we?) need to start living... we've forgot the things that are out there... for example, I had a picture of a sunset as my wallpaper... and I haven't seen one for a loooooong time...

i was bieng extremely sarcastic... majority of the time parents are right... whether or not we as their children like it or not its a fact you have to learn and accept...and even on that 10% chance that they might not be right its usually best to let them have their way and do what your told... it just makes things easier for all involved.....or you can be a complete idiot and jus move out....

Athene · 23rd July 2002, 14:15

I think that yes moms and dads should punnish their childeren but just going and taking away everything your child has to the outside world... come on i think thats a little much taking away the modem LOCKING the tv thats over the edge and going so much as to flush somthing of theirs... hum... I would think that would be somthing to push away your child and make them want to run away or leave right when they turn of age then when you get older put you in a rest home and leave you there to rot...I would think that especailly with the lazyness of us kids today...There are other ways of punishiment than to take everything away...but what do I know im only a spoild little brat

Curi0us_George · 23rd July 2002, 14:45

Well, I think it's quite acceptable to take away the computer and television if she did something that deserves punishment. For that matter, her parents aren't required to provide a television and computer in the first place, so I don't really think she has a right to complain at all about that.

As for flushing the phone card, that really is crappy. It would be one thing if her mom had just taken the phone away, but flushing the card, that's too much. That's intentional antagonization.

"...Provoke not your children to wrath..."

missyob · 23rd July 2002, 14:58

Being a parent of 3 boys I can understand your frustration with your parents. I have a very strict, but open relationship with my boys. They get upset with me at times. I am not perfect, but I love my children with all my heart and would literally die for them if I had to.

Last night my oldest son, Corey (who is 11) and I were talking and he said to me "Mom, I am glad when you punish me because it shows that you care about me and want me to learn the proper way to live". That statement touched my heart and soul and made me cry.

I guess my point to this is that even though parents are not perfect, we do not want to punish you just to be mean. We dont get any personal satisfaction out of punishing. We just want the best for our children.

Big Hugs,
