Parents..

[knives669]

@apinagez: I feel I'm responsible enough to make my own decisions too. I always accept the consiquences and since I've been with this girl none of them have come back to bite me in the a*. Well, other than my dad getting mad over basically nothing. (i.e. I go out with my friends, let him know where we're going to be, and come home around 10, which I don't feel is too late since curfew here is 11 and I'm usually not in bed till midnight. Then when I get home he yells at me about how worried he was and how he didn't know where I was.. And all this time I was exactly where I said I was going to be..)

 

 

 

Do you have a cell phone? If not, you should get one so that you can call and check in with your dad occassionally, and if he gets worried, he can call you. :)

Every time I tell him I need one he tells me to get a job. So I tried and he told me not to get a job until January because of tax reasons. I keep mentioning it and he keeps telling me to get a job >.<

I'd have your father submit to a drug test. If he's not on anything he should be fine with it. It does seem like he's on something though.

 

 

 

Either that or the 60's addled his brain.

 

 

 

Third choice -> senility is settling in. Be prepared to change his Depends in another few years.

Sorry, it's just that my dad was born sometime during the early fifties I think. And his mother wasn't exactly the best in the world. He's not all there sometimes, he's having flashbacks I assume.

 

 

 

edit- just realized something, your dad was born in 69, you say you're 16, which means he was 19 . . . he just doesn't want you repeating his mistakes.

 

edit2- Ignore my horrible math skills.

I know he doesn't want me to make the biggest mistake he did.. He had a college offer him a 4 year scholorship to play football but he turned it down to go to a 1 year school and be with my mom.

 

I was born when my dad was 21 and my mom was 20 (almost 21). I think.. my math skills are horrible too lol

As I was growing up I always heard parents were so mean when their kids became teenagers. I never thought it was true until I turned 16. Before that my parents were always so nice and I stayed home a lot so they were always telling me to get out, make friends, get a girl friend. Well I turned 16.. And I started hanging out with friends and making new friends. Then they started to worry about me a lot so they wanted me to check in whenever I was going to do something.. I figured that was no problem, they just want to be sure I'm safe.. Then I found a girl. We're not officially dating but everyone says we should be (long story, go read my other thread if you'd like to know it). So I started hanging out with her a lot. My parents were ok with that, they were happy that i'd found someone special. So I started having her come to my house after school to hang out, and my parents seemed ok with that. All she needed was a ride home at 8 when she came over. But we wanted to be alone to get to know each other better so we'd go off on our own either on a walk or up to my bedroom (or if we felt patient we'd wait for everyone to leave us alone). This was ok with my parents until they saw me and her kissing (long story, not gonna tell it). Now they want to be around us all the time because they think we're going to have sex. I've known this girl for 1 1/2 months, and my parents already think I'm heading for home base. (And no, I have not had sex with her) Suddenly my dad points out everything I do wrong and is always talking about responsibility. He keeps telling me that if I'm not responsible he'll make me get a job. Though when I attempted to get a job he told me to wait until January because of tax reasons on the family business. Every time I make a bad decision (in his eyes, the decisions seem ok in mine) he threatens to take away my car. The girl mentioned before is kind of going through the same thing with her parents. Now is it just me or is there a point in your life when your paretnts are total a*holes for a while, then they become you friends again after you've gone through a rough part of your life? Is this something everyone has to deal with, or just a few of us who are unlucky?

 

ur lucky ur parents care... let alone u see them... i rarely seemine stupid coke heads

[Althalus]

Okay so clearly you posted this very personal story to get opinions about your parents behavior and well all I can say is there behavior is kind of normal. They're just worried that you may or may not do something silly. My advice to you is sit down with your parents and have a talk about it. You're sixteen now, if you're mature enough to have a relationship with this girl then you should be mature enough to talk about it. My advice is leave sex out of a relationship for a while, it only complicates things a lot.

Mine were that way. But, then they started worrying to much and made me get one. :lol:

Well! My Parents r friendly.They let me do What i like to do.They Never nag me.They r very supportive.Sometimes to keep me in control they try to speak in a much better n understandable manner.Thank god! :D

[xvillexvalox]

Nice to see you're spreading every aspect of your life out into this forum :-w

 

 

 

Anyways, my dad was also born in '69 (mom in '70) except I'm a year younger than you.

 

 

 

My parents wouldn't have this problem with me, as they both know I hang out with alot of girls and my mom trys to remind me abou protection every other day even though I've only been going out with my girlfreind for a week.

 

 

 

And if my parents ever thought I was having unprotected sex, they'd just think of something like, buy a box of condoms and put them in my wallet, back pack, or pockets.

 

 

 

Yes, my mom is silly. :XD: :

[justin_m23]

you got nothing to worry about them, its normal for parents to be like that. i cant really give you advice about what to do because everyones parents are different.

 

 

 

but there are two things you REALLY need - cell phone, and a job!

 

 

 

you can get a phone pretty easily, my mate won his on a game that costed $2 :thumbsup:

 

 

 

and im sure youll be able to convince your parents about getting a job, just tell them about all the benefits.

 

 

 

see you on your other thread :XD:

[My_Eggs]

you know what i find funny? the more dad gets mad at you Deloria, the nicer he gets to me lol. now that you've been hanging out with Kitten a lot hes been spending a lot of time with me and playing video games with me :P (maybe its cause hes proud of me for going out for football?)

[lawrencekill]

Well it's natural that some parents start to feel overprotective of their child. Maybe after seeing you with your gf, they thought how quick you are becoming an adult and soon off to college.

 

 

 

They think of what they still need to teach you, and desperately try to pack all their knowledge into you before you're gone or maybe they're in a state of denial or something.

 

 

 

Anyways, there's two things I can think of that you can do:

 

1. Show your maturity. (Actions speak louder than words.)

 

2. Tell them how you feel about this situation. (If your actions arn't fast enough.)

 

 

 

Ask them what they want from you and follow it. Also warn them that they should stop bothering you, soon you'll have to make your own decisions and it's better if they can see your decisions now before you go to college.

 

 

 

Basically, think over a talk with your parents, then talk to them.
