I need to vent
My mom is weird... She has pretty much my entire life planned out, and when it doesn't turn out the way she wants it she complains. She is constantly telling me she thinks there is something wrong with me. I keep telling her I am completely fine. Nothing I say will penetrate her thick skull. She probably thinks I'm drinking, smoking, partying, doing drugs, and sleeping around. I don't know where she would get that from since I'm always home by 10:30 or 11:00 every night, hold downa part time job working 40 hours [go figure that one out], make a car and car insurance payment, and pay for everything else in my life.
I came home one night and I had drank ONE, UNO, wine cooler and I didn't even drive! I know I'm still young at age twenty, but golly gee dang! [haha]. Anyways, in a few hours, I have to sit down with my mom and dad because they want to have a talk with me. They called it a family meeting, but its only us three. "We wanna just sit down and talk about school, your car, and other things.... If you want, we can invite other people, since there are a few other people I want to talk to as well." If you took the time to read that, congrats... And wish me luck as I talk to my parents about MY TWENTY YEAR OLD LIFE!

parents are a pain at times, but they only worry about us, and it sounds like you have your life in order so i wouldnt worry about them that much

My parents thought the same thing. I wasn't the best student in high school, but I wasn't doing anything bad or illegal. Yet they thought I was going out doing god knows what. I'm not gonna get into my family history and problems, they're pretty deep, but you'll get through it. Have you ever lived away from home? When I went away for college and came back 4 years later, things were much different - and in a good way. They might just be seeing you as their little girl (even though you're 20) and just trying to protect you.
But I don't know all the details, I'm doing a lot of assuming.

I almost feel like my mom is harder on me than she is on the other 4 kids. Its kinda like she wants to make sure my life is perfect. Yeah, I have made stupid decisions, but hasn't everyone? Isn't that how we learn?
About a week ago: My mom had called to see where I was at 9:30, i said I was over at my friends house, we were under his car working on it and then grilled out and I was watching a movie and would be home in a little while. I got home around 10:30 to my mom crying in the kitchen. I asked her what was wrong and she said she didnt believe that I was working on a car for 3 hours. I mean she seriously thinks there is something wrong with me. I am actually worried about her. I'm thinking about slipping some Prozac or something into her coffee.

Yes, I moved out last November I think, and lived on my own for about nine months. Mom pretty much said, "you can't do it because you can't afford it." Life at home was really really rough. But my roommate got married so i moved back home. Things were great until like a month ago.

My mom is one that loves gossip, so there is no telling what she has heard. I've heard things about me IN THIS LITTLE GOSH DARN TOWN that are not true, but people tend to believe about me. |

Hi Emi. I can understand what you're going through. I'm 22 and my parents act like yours do sometimes. I would say it would be good to see what your parents have to say but also let them know that you are okay. They should be confident in the fact that they raised a smart, young woman. Here them out but make sure they understand your point of view as well.
Hope that helps! |

I'm going to try and sit there calmly, but i don't know how well I will do when it just drives me crazy that my parents don't trust me. I just hate sitting down and talking to my parents, because they never let me get a word in. I'm going to have to sit there and just agree. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I've been the same person for years, no major changes have occurred in my life, yet mom insists that there is something wrong with me.

Sometimes I think that my parents want too much out of me. I was always an overachiever and never did bad stuff so I didn't understand what all the pressure was about. I think that parents sometimes act that way towards their children because they want them to do all the stuff they didn't do when they were kids. Either that, or they are here to make our lives miserable!
 It gets easier...try to listen to them and calmly explain your side. If they say they heard stuff, no matter how ridiculous it is, stay calm and be mature. It'll be ok! |

My dearest Emily; I'm fortunate enough to have parents who trust me and have never held my reins too much (I had a step father that did but that was many years ago) so I can't really relate too much. But freedom is a feeling that is equaled by few others. If I were you I'd do anything I could to gain some. Time heals all; even mothers. |

Lucky you scott... I'll just sit here with a video camera pointed at me every time i make a move... Mom seems to know everything. I moved out once, and threatened to move out again, but I cant afford it unless i only had to pay like 100 a month. and thats not gonna happen unless i have like 4 roommates.
Oh... and I did get video taped one time the first time i really drank... it was horrible. They threatened to put it on youtube. I recorded over it. :P It was the first time I ever went to a party, and i havent ever gone to another one... that was, dang... almost 10 months ago? wow... |

Overprotective parents... Don't get me started - I'll have to start my own venting thread. Make that 3.
We really should chat, Emi
