Parent Problems. (Poll)

[KittKat chunky~]

Well... my parents have been accepting no matter what i am or want to do.... for that alone i gotta love 'em... (plus my mum loves trance/techno music!  )

Also on my mum's side of the family i got all my slovakian relatives, where it not for her i wouldnt know any of 'em... theyre there whenever i need help... my dad and i joke A LOT... which really annoys my mum... and mum just loves me, so i just feel that i gotta return that....

Though yeah we do argue... quite frequently... we just have a great time when we're not arguing    (especially when we're in Slovakia for holidays  )

Jeez I am reminded how lucky I am. Maybe just because I'm generally well disposed to people I love my parents. They don't care about what I do most of the time apart from when it matters e.g. bugging me about revision which I actually need to do. My dad started using IE which I'd previously used as a private browser with here as a homepage and didn't care, just told me not to leave myself logged into forums. Even if my Dad does drink to much he never gets drunk. He's always working or away but when he isn't we can talk about anything for ages- politics, science, general stuff. Mum is just as uncaring & caring in just the right proportions. My sister used to not get along with them as well but now she's at uni when she comes back they get along fine- not as long to get angry with each other I suppose. Anyways, life is good

My parents.... My mom is very nice, so is my dad, I do love them, But I can't say I tell them everything.... Both Of them seem to me like they'd reject my furry side if they knew about it... So I won't say anything till I move out, or will I? Who knows...

@Sound of Silence: Just recently? Why did he contact you so randomly again?

i have no idea, but i'm not sure i want to get to know him.

@Spike V.: "My dad isn't around to talk to as much as my mom and my dad picks on me a lot because he's never around and assumes that all I do is sit around and be lazy. I can tell my mom anything but I can't stand talking to my dad. Everytime I do he always tells me how much I suck at something or how I don't do things up to his standard of perfection."

YES, i can so relate to that.

@nyrikkia: Feel free to do whatever you want 8D (provided you dont offend anyone or break teh rules!)

@snow : things are better now, thanks bud!

I love both of my parents and we get along fine. I am the one that they usually go to for help when they need a hand especially when it comes to my nephew whom they have custody of cause my brother is a dead beat dad and a real piece of shit. They don't know about my furry side and they will never know cause they are not that open minded. There are things that I don't tell my parents because its for the best. Like I said they don't have an open mind and are a bit old school, but I love them none the less. They know I have costumes and thats about it.

My parents arent as such bad to me, they just never seem to do anything good either.

My ma [censored] if I don't read her mind about whatever the hell it was I was supposed to do and in the meantime manages to be completely blind to anything I try to tell her subtly... and as if to coincide with that if I ask for support for some ridiculous school issue involving a highly immature dean (although that can be read about on this boars) she starts going on about how little I do to help her.

Then I ask what I can do.

She doesnt answer that straight either.

I am a very different person from my parents. I love them to bits but they do give me the stabby feeling sometimes. The constant complaints are what really get to me; they are people who are just utterly incapable of appreciating just how good their lives are.

I have been living with my parents since October while some US visa stuff gets sorted. I have found it incredibly hard to be patient with them, and that patience is wearing thin. The farther I live from my parents, the better our relationship.

Remove the "They are" & "Who" from that sentence & you've got a good chunk of western society right there. I am a cheery person usually, honest...

[milenko]

well he and my family fight all the time...we never talk all we do is fight and my sister makes fun of me being gay
well when i am 18 i am leaving and let them rot

[Silence the Splicer]

well, i recently got into contact with my father, and i was right in assuming i wouldn't like him. he's very close minded, and refuses to accept when he's wrong about anything.

[juut]

I live with my mom and I think I can tell her just about anything. She doesn't judge as long as I don't harm anyone and I love her more than anything.

My parents split up twelve years ago. The first few years after that I didn't want anything to do with my dad, just too much bad blood, but now we get along fine. He comes around for coffee, we go to fantasy events together. Like my mum, he doesn't really judge, just takes me as I am, autism and general weirdness included. 

Guess I'm really lucky with the family I've got.

[Tyla]

My mum is okay. My step-dad is an er... *Insert explict*.

[Righteousbro]

I don't usually feel like I have problems with them, mostly because of this problem of mine. I never really come out with anything, I don't talk to them much and even though we love each other I never feel like I can come out with them. My father is pretty unreasonable, if he disagrees with something he won't let me debate it or anything, but I've come to know how to make everything perfect for those around me. Not really much myself tho. But I'm smart so i just assess the situation and do whatever keeps me out of there problems. Yet even though I make things great for them I still hear them talking about how much of a drag I am. I don't know what the problems they talk about are but I still wonder what problems there might be. Otherwise we get along well. Even though my dad is really a step-dad i treat him like a father because I never really knew my real father, and when step-dad came I was like 3. But from what I discovered my real dad was a weed addict and a drunkard and I was made when he was to high. I'm glad I didn't come out to bad at least.

I really don't have anything to complain about my parents. My mother is the kind one, while my father is the firm one. They both love me and my siblings. I can almost tell them everything. But I can't tell them I am furry. My father isn't the kind of person that doesn't want his kids to be anything but Mexicans. He even told me and my brother, that he doesn't want any Homos in his house. Which makes me think that my father will kick me out because I am a furry. That is the only thing I am more worried about
