Things about Parents

Hello there!

  Today, while I was sitting at home, I realized something. Although parents are sometimes annoying, and like to instigate, they are truly just looking out for us. Right now, I don't know how I can be complementing them, because I disagree with everything they've done so far. 
   But, it's made me realize one thing. If anything, there are some important things they have taught me not to do when I'm a parent. 

    Here's a list of Things About Parents that drive me Insane...

• Often, when I was a child, I would cry when I was angry or hurt. I wouldn't cry over things that (although may have seemed so) were stupid. I remember working myself into having mini panic attack. I couldn't breathe, and they would just tell me to stop it.  
• "Oh sorry, is my broken-heart'd sobbing annoying you? Let me just stop and make things all better for you!" 
• Another things is, they say things like, "I'm so tired of this house!" or "Everyone can just do whatever they want, I don't care," or my personal favorite, "Nobody respects/loves/cares/thinks about me!" 
• Okay, obviously we care about you. Don't make your problems such a big deal, when you start stuff and bring them up first!
• Okay, I'll start of saying that I completely agree with the fact that yes, it is your house parents, and yes, you can tell us to do whatever and get whatever to mold us into perfect little human beings, but damn, when you say, "Just do it!" over a pointless thing, and we counter with, "Why?" since it's soooo meaningless and then they say, "Because I said so. I'm the parent! When you're a parent you can do whatever you want!" 
• Alright, first off, I know you're the damn parent! You've made that pretty clear since I was born, but that, however, does not give you a "Pass Jail" card to getting us to do everything for you. 100% of the time, we have no problem helping you parents, getting whatever. It's called a "favor" not a "slave-job."

The list probably continues, but I am just too frazzled to continue. I know that they love me and try to do their best, but COME ON! 

Sometimes, and I know I will have to do this as well when I'm a parent, we need to remember what it feels like in these situations, and not put so much stress on our children's lives! Honestly, some parents just...just no.
