Answer 1

Not to bust your bubble, but let's get straight to it..your parents are in charge--as parents--not friends and not worrying about being cool---they will do as they see fit in your own best interest---and even you admit to arguing and fighting about stuff--so showing them how immature you are just causes further problems---let them see you as a mature young man, able to be trusted and respectful, you may get more priviliges. Takes a lot of time to earn all that you want. They were young and did what you did--probably had the same attitudes---and had the same restrictions--I can't wait to see you as a father--being a strict parent like you have now---still having a problem understanding this?? And parents do NOT suck--I would think that word is a bit harsh about the people that feed, clothe, and take care of you. My old man would have smacked that word out of my mouth years ago.....but then I didn't think that about my family. Well, friend, try changing the attitude, act like a mature young person, do good in school, talk nice, have some manners, do some chores, you know--grow up. Be cool, and good luck

It's their job. Think about you being a parent. NO, I'm not a parent, but yes I have thought the same thing. My mom just had a child last year and I'm 18, and I kinda see her as my own child to a point. It's not that she doesn't love you and not want you to have any fun. She just doesn't want to see you somewhere dead or making the wrong decisions. It might be annoying but just try to understand where she's coming from trust me. I used to hate my mom but then I started to realize where she was coming from when I was about 16, we've been pretty close ever since but there are times when she does have to stop being my friend and be my mom there is a difference and once you know that and realize it you're good. If she didn't love you she wouldn't wouldn't care but she does and you're lucky, cause there are some kids out there that don't have what you have and would love to have a parent to sit there and tell them whats good and bad for them.

Answer 3

I had to respond to this question. You will NEVER know how much your mother loves you. You may consider it nagging when she is trying to get you to drink your milk or to do some other things you don't want to do. Do you realize that your mother is the ONLY person in this world that would lay down her life for you? She would fight anyone or anything to keep you safe. She loves you THAT much. And it doesn't end...it began before you were born and will last until she draws her last breath. Be thankful that you have a mother that cares about you.... be thankful that you HAVE a mother.
She may be strict, but she only has your well being in mind. I know that I will not get a good rating on this answer...but what I am saying is the truth. like it or not.
Try maybe just sitting down with her(when you are both in a good mood) and discussing with her what you consider the problems are. It may not be easy, but it may work.. If you have not tried it, isn't it worth a try? Maybe try saying " Mom, I know you love me and are concerned about me. But I would really like a little more independance. I am willing to try to earn more independance, please tell me what I need to do to earn it." If it doesn't seem fair to you, try to talk to her and maybe the two of you can come to an arrangement that is satisfactory to both of you.

You wont understand any of it until you get older. Your brain goes through changes over your lifetime.

You will also feel like you are invincible until the age of about 25.

When you hit 30 or so you will look back at what you are going through now and understand a lot better about what your mom was trying to accomplish.

Right now, she's trying to keep you out of trouble. Say if she restricts you from hanging out with some friends she doesnt like then she's trying to keep you from vandalizing, stealing etc.

When I was in my teens, i got into lots of trouble. I was even on house arrest until I was 18. Mainly because I always thought I knew what was best and didnt listen to anyone else.

So even if you dont respect those of us that are older than you and truely believe you have it all under control. Just realize that all of us, years ago were the same age as you and went through the same thing as you are right now and said the same thing.

The time that will come where you'll truely understand more about whats going on is when you have a child that is your age and you want to keep them out of trouble. You might end up being even more strict than your mom is right now!

Answer 5

Sometimes I think alot of our mothers went to the same school together! :) You don't say how old you are- but that's ok, because time is on YOUR side no matter what. Put up with your parent's nagging for just a few more years, & THEN you'll be "out from under" -on your own- & you won't have to deal with it anymore. Til then, humor them, do what you have to do- & always remember this alternative; would your life really be so much better without them??? ...-Be carefull what you ask for... Hang in there... :)

Answer 6

I can't say your mom is perfect and you are wrong because I don't know your situation. When you hold a little baby in your hands and raise him or her then you will realize how precious and fragile life is. she knows what goes on out their at your age and what she may have did or stayed away from. I believe here discipline of you is out of love not to be mean. I can't help to say your lack of respect for her shows you are not responsible to behave if you are out with more Independence. read Proverbs 15:10 and Proverbs 19:18 win their favor. Independence and respect is earned and not cussed to achieve.

Answer 7

I say you have to hold out until you're 17 and able to legally move out. Once you're living on your own and making enough money to support yourself, life changes and you don't know what to do with all the freedom. I really don't think there is anything you can do, you don't want to ruin your relationship with your parents, they're the only ones who will love you for the rest of your life regardless of your mistakes.... Hold on to that, no matter the sacrifices.

Answer 8

Well, the fact that she is your mom with years behind her that you don't have means she knows more than you do, has had more of life's ups and down's than you have, and is willing to guide you in your best interest via her knowledge and wisdom. She is acting in your best interest. She loves you and wants what is best for you. I wish I had had a mother like that. Or any mother at all, for that matter. Mind your Ma and be glad you have her. Oh, and drink your milk. *wink*

Answer 9

Sometime remember to step back and create a timeless moment that the two of you can remember. Find an island of peace where the two of you can always meet to say, I love you. Make a tradition that someday you too will be able to pass onto your child who will need this place like you need it now.

Answer 10

Because your parents are concerned about you and want the best for you, and in effect, come out seemingly to suck.

It's like that with most parents.

Also, regarding your 'there is no satisfying you', that is probably true as I believe, humans by nature are never satisfied.
