Not a kid anymore

AJay

Seriously.. When will my parents figure out I'm not a kid anymore. I can make my own decisions, have a life and they can't keep making me afraid of them. I get it. I live under their roof, respect they're rules. And I do. But they don't even respect me, pretend my boyfriend doesn't even exist, (we've been together a year) and I SWEAR all they care about is school and money. Its the only things they talk to me about. Its summer vacation and I just want to see my person for like.. 10 minutes because he's just getting back onto town. I'd be back before midnight even when they would let my brother do whatever the hell he wanted and stay out until 2. And I'm getting dirty looks because I like someone and want to spend time with him.

Actually.. I want an explanation. Though it'd be more directed at the fathers... But to the Mothers, why? I've read articles that day mother's get jealous of there daughters for having more opportunities than them, (sometimes) or daughters not doing things so not to upset their mothers, etc. So is it just family dynamic, loyalties, unfairness, too strict, what? Even then, did you do something similar? Would you be understanding? Hell.. Would you stand up to your spouse even when enough is enough? (I have a long embedded bitch about not being able to cut my hair).

Please don't take any of this personally. I have to say that I am just extremely frustrated about this. Fair isn't always equal? Fine. But respect is a right.
