what do you do about strict parents?

Question

it is actually my step-fatherhe is always so strict he gets what he want when he wants it examples:
when im watching gilmore girls and he wants to play videogames we have to give up the tv
he wants us to rake the yard we do we spend time ut of our schedule to rake e doesnt even say thank u or good job
he makes jus so many stupid rules HELP!!!

Answer 1

Thats actually not strict at all.
He basically wants to show you that he is an adult and you are a child... Even though you may not like it you must know you role, suck it up and be respectful and in return you will get respect back

Answer 2

Those are the best examples you could come up with?!?!Please, you have it made! Did you ever think that maybe the video game is hooked up to THAT particular tv, but you can watch Gilmore Girls on any other tv in the house...oh and the minor detail that he's probably paying the electric bill, not you. And raking leaves with out a thank you...how many bills does HE pay without a THANK YOU from you? Call your parents strict when they make you go to bed at 7pm, not rake leaves!

Answer 3

I have already been ther when I was younger My mom made me get up at 5:00 am to clean the house,feed the animals,take out the trash,carry up firewood,all before getting on the bus at 7:00am. I never had much of a childhood I grew up to fast didnt get to play sports or do anything other kids did my age and when I got old enough to date she made me go to dances with guys that I didnnt like but she did because their family had money. I was physically and verbally abused by her and put down but here I am 8 years later and I am married to a great guy who takes care of me and our beautiful kids. So I hate to tell you but as much as it sucks just do what your told only if it is not something that you know is wrong so that you dont get into any trouble. You want to keep the strict parents happy.

Answer 4

Thank your mom for bringing this man into your life. Few men like taking on the responsibility of another mans offspring, most divorced women can't stand an empty bed.. the result is the innocent children having to live with their parents bad decisions. Learn from this and don't repeat it. Don't expect anything from the step and you won't be disappointed.

Answer 5

Talk to your Mom about it. Unfortunately, I've a feeling that she won't do anything about it, as she is letting it happen. But there may be a chance that she's oblivious to it, and so you need to bring it to her attention. Pulling the TV away like that is not being strict; it's being a rude pig. And if he's playing videogames, what does that tell us?

Answer 6

so your step father is making the rules in your house. be an observant first. get in touch with your mother first, be sure your mother is in good mood. talk with her about your feelings (avoidsaying bad things about your stepfather, you will worsen the situation, why? what if your mother does really in love with your stepfather, absolutely she will depend him, so avoid such uttering words against your stepfather) explain to your mother your needs in simple manner, like you respect the rules in your house, how about giving you some benifits by giving you the right to watch t.v. or give you the schedule time when is the time available to watch. and also you dont wait to say any thank you words, just a smile of appreciation is enough, say this to your mother, and your mother will be the one to talk with your stepfather. if your stepfather confront you, say you dont mean anything bad, what you only want is appreciation and respect, as you respect him so much. hopefully this will work.

Answer 7

Does you step father push your mom around also? I think that you should talk to your mom about what your step dads making you do....also you could try to spend as much time out of the house with your friends as possible so that you don't get to upset and stressed about how bossy your step dad is

Answer 8

What do you do? You thank this man and your mom for being so strict. In 10 years you'll look back at this and think thank god they kept me on the strait and narrow.

Answer 9

omg i wanna know too....myn are killer.....they once talked to my friends mom for at least an hour just cuz i wanted to go to the movie with my friend...ugh....and they make me do everything...get straight A's do well in sports...CRAZY


lol i guess we just have to deal with it :)

Answer 10

maybe you should tell your mom about it so she knows that you don't like his attitudes.. and besides, he should be the one doing that and making the effort in getting along with you because he is only your stepdad.. but if you have the courage then tell him..
