    I have the same problems, except it's switch your mom with my dad (my mom's just as bad, but in totally different ways).

    • I told them both a long time ago they have to earn my respect just like every other human being...ismith
    • I won't treat them any different because they are my parents, and it's calmed things down a little bit.ismith
    • Although probably the turning point (where they finally started treating me like who I was) was when I got caught having sexismith
    • (not literally in the act though, thank god)

      LOL      ismith
    • I've said too much; suffice it to say, don't let it get you down Jaline!ismith
    • LOL, you sound like a 16 year old :DJnr_Madison
    • which is ironicJnr_Madison
    • hahaha, thanks, ismith. I've dealt with this so many times before that I'm used to it, but every now and then it gets to meJaline
    • My dad, while over-protective and controlling like my mom, is more rational and knows that they have to earn respect.Jaline
    • I still get shit too, but I was very relieved when I laid it all out for them so any misunderstanding couldn't be my fault.ismith
    • See, my mom just doesn't "get it". She is in denial and WILL NEVER ADMIT when she is wrong. It's permanent.Jaline
    • It's too tiring to even discuss serious things with them most times. I have to choose specific moments to speak to them.Jaline
    • btw ismith I wasn't having a go at you but telling your parents they need to earn your respect is something I would say at 16.Jnr_Madison
    • I wish there was some kind of understanding between us, but we always end up in circles so there is no point anymore.Jaline
    • ismith is totally right about the respect thing, but I thing it matters more after the age of 18.Jaline
    • Yepismith
    • I have a feeling when I turn 18, they'll be totally different (with me at least, not each other).ismith
    • *thinkJaline
    • Having serious discussions in notes is the titsismith
    • Things do change. You realize that you can have more control over things. I stay away from home sometimes.Jaline
    • I just wanted to use that phrase, but it's trueismith
    • hahah, yeah, it's weird having these discussions in notesJaline
    • I've had problems with my parents in the past, now I'm 30 my perspective has changed.Jnr_Madison
