Clair Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 So today my dad and I got into a fight again over college. In the end, he made me pay money for application fees to two schools that I didn't even want to go to. My budget for this is small enough as it is... needless to say, I'm pretty steamed right now. I would be less mad if he wasn't such a control freak all the time. Discuss your relationship with your parent(s). Is it rocky, or is it golden?

Great Unclean One: VK Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Dad: Don't talk much. He's an idiot. Namely, paying for college for a son who's sucking him dry and deciding to have another son when he can barely support his wife and kid on a salary of 30k a year if business is good. Mom: Divorced from my dad. Lives in the ghetto in New Orleans and parties every weekend leaving her kids. Don't talk much but she's smarter then my dad. Overall it's my siblings that I hate.

Icy Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Me and my dad won't speak to each other AT ALL. But there is a very good reason for this. It's gotten to the point where "father" is a title, not a right. Me and my mom are fairly close, used to be much worst but it's getting better. Me and my stepfather... well I want him to be slain like the beast he is. Me and my stepmom, we always got along. May she rest in peace. Me and my second stepdad, we could talk stories for hours about nothing haha. I absolutely miss him. Me and my mentor. Great, but he moved out of state and has a full time job. Celebrated his 1 year marriage anniversary a few weeks ago too. ... yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raine Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Dad: I live with him as he works on the pipelines so I end up traveling a lot (well, at least until I go into college next year). He has rough past and terrible parasitic family on his side but he's cool even though over-emotional and a hard-headed idiot. Mom: She's a b****. Not in a mean, opinionated way but like she is a cruel lying manipulating person with some of the best masks I've seen plus she's smart. She lives in Texas with my siblings and is alright if not just a tad old school and cheap. Funny thing is, I think like her and I know how and why she acts how she does against my idiot but passionate father but we both secretly resent each other. We'd never say that to each other though, it's like con artist meets used car salesman. Smile and wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I live with both of my parents. They work a lot to help us live, obviously. My mom has a solid schedule and I always see her a several hours every day, while my dad works a lot more, but I still see him enough. We talk plenty and while my dad may not be as smart as my mom, he's ridiculously silly a lot and give me good laughs. My dad's the "clean" parent, and always wants things in their place, which can kinda get annoying sometimes, but it's not bad. There's some arguing, but that's natural. Mine are okay.

Fusion X. Denver Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Dad: He can get on my case sometimes, but he's a great man and I'm proud to be his son. He's got a good heart. Mom: I wrote my college essay on my mom and went over the recommended limit. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Me and my dad get along pretty much fine. My mom, eh... I have more in common with her in terms of my many weird oddities. However our personalities couldn't be more different, and she constantly b****es at me when I start getting sarcastic or irritated at her about anything. If it weren't for the fact that both of my brothers got in trouble for various reasons fairly often, she would yell at me constantly. When she has no one else to yell at, she yells at me.

'Cept my mom doesn't work and my dad and mom have about the same intelligence. I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about. They are nice, they are supportive, they are always trying to do what is best for me and my siblings, they will do what is necessary for us to grow up to be smart, polite, and caring, even if the punishments are sometimes harsh, and my dad works his butt off for us. I feel incredibly blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Mum and I are really close, but we have our off days. She also yells [i]a lot [/i]and that's the worst thing to deal with in my home. She can be annoying, over protective, and closed minded too. But besides that, she's actually pretty awesome and cool. My friends especially love talking to her and that's a really good sign. It's always nice to have a parent that everybody loves because then you never get embarrassed or uncomfortable over them. She's also lived such a fascinating life and that adds on to how wonderful she is. We have a lot in common and we pretty much act in the same way, besides a few differences here and there. She also really likes things to go her way, but she's getting better at loosening up. My dad is the most chill guy in the world. He's an art collector, a food and wine expert, and an excellent public speaker. He's extremely calm for the most part and we get along exceptionally well since he's easy going. He's more accepting about me and my interests and he helps me pursue what I want to pursue, while my mum can be on edge about it. He's pretty much my best friend at home and we joke around a lot. He's fun to be with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same way with my parents. All they understand is control, control, and more control. Back when I was finishing high school, they didn't put in a single school in terms of fees/application I wanted under the reason of "You're a dumb bastard who is incapable of ever making the right choice about anything, so we'll decide it for you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolta Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Ah parents. I'm extremely tempted to bring up the article about this guy who got kicked out of the house for being a brony. But I won't. I'm glad to have a stable family. It is stable, but no family is flawless.... Siblings' aren't desirable... but my siblings are my siblings... I'm the type who would hardly share me probs with my family, fearing that they would have problems piling up. My family's fine, and I want it to stay that way. Now I'm almost close to going berserk due to having my feelings bottled up. Shard, there's a time for humour, and a time where its just... WRONG.

They are your freaking parents. Of course they are going to be right, even when they're wrong. It's their job. It's frustrating, it's annoying, it's potentially emotionally and physically scarring. But tough luck, they are your parents. Vent all you like, call them names, whatever. But never talk down about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may not even show any form of love, care or beyond the basic needs to show acknowledgement. But that doesn't mean they don't care at all. As you get older (around your early to mid 30's) you'll see. Parent's like that, would have left you on the streets if they were as bad as you always seem to claim. But they didn't did they? According to your story here, they pretty much forced success onto you. THAT would be their appreciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
