My parents are fucking pissing me off.

I'm home for a while, while there's building work going on in my flat..

But they come into my room, say hi, open my fucking curtains, and then leave again without a word... leaving the door open. Is that all they came in to do? Every day?

If I want to open my curtains, I will. Until then.. I won't.

And why won't they knock? It's an invasion of privacy. I know I'm with them for a while but I still have my own fucking life to lead. By myself.

Why is it that just because you're divorced and back home for a while, your parents start assuming you've reverted back to 10 years old?

Edit: and why does the board fuck up so much? This is down TWICE. :mad:

    Maybe they are just trying to cheer you up a tad? I open the shades for my husband when he seems depressed to get some sunshine in and try to encourage the light to, lighten the mood.

    I'm sure they mean no harm.. Did you ask them to leave the shades alone? Maybe they just don't realize they are offending you. :(

    They just can't help themselves! Parents are a strange breed.

    It's not even that he drew the curtains.. whatever.. but the fact that he came in, said 'Hi!', opened the curtains and walked out again.. just plain weird. I might have responded had he said 'Mark, it might be better to not sit in the dark', but as it is I've just closed them again.

    move out as soon as you can. I know it is hard to do; I know this.........truly.

    So, yeah, parents can't usually see you as you are now,and offer unrequested advice like, i.e., "can't you just get back with your ex?"......as if it is their dream come true that you should be unhappy. wtf???

    some parents do better; I am working toward this daily, having teens that are very close to having their own lives, but most do not.

    Together we will float like angels.........

    In the moment that you left the room, the album started skipping, goodbye to beauty shared with the ones that you love.........

    Just try and relax man, most likely they aren't actively going out of their way to piss you off. I'm sure they mean well, even if it's annoying you.

    Hahahaha, you should try my parents. My dad's 81, and his affectionate name for me is "Cunt".

    Stay at my parents' house, and you get,

    "Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunt!!!! Get outta bed. Wankin' all night. Sleepin' all day. Get uuuuuuuuuuuup."


    And this is at about half six in the morning. :D

    Yeah, my boyfriends dad would gas him with tear gas if he didn't get up. I'm not joking! We all laugh about it now though. (Well I do). :o

    Why don't you just ask them to knock before they enter? And get the hell outta there ASAP. I think I would've couched it at a friend's house before I went back to my parents' place.

    And such a charming name to be calling someone.
    My tongue is quite terrible.
    Every other word around here is the F bomb.
    I sware to you Finsbury that I have never called anyone the name you are label as.
    No offense but um, your dad is a cranky shit.

    Not in my book mate, you'd have to ask my parents for a second opinion.

    that is hard stuff living with ones own family.
    tell them to plz knock and be nasty when you say it.
    it sounds like to me that is what you have to do.
    get nasty, a bit anyways.
    examples:
    1. next fucking time knock on the fucking door please
    2. whip out your sword, get caught handling your own junk.
    that may teach them that you need privacy.
    3. ask them nicely, sit down at the dinner table, eye to eye, and speak the truth about what's going on in a nice calm tone.

    Bottom line is, your parents are always right. They own the property. They can kick down your door, bring a camel in, let it shit on your carpet, and go out again, if they want. That's the deal.


    Button your lip until it's time to get back in your flat, for sanity's sake. ;)

    They talk fine about stuff they want to talk about.

    They don't want to hear me telling them I'm down, though, and the next thing I know I'm acting like a stroppy teenager because they're not listening and I feel so trapped..

    It's much more acceptable here than it is over there Fins :)

    I used to hate it, then I grew to love it. I now use it as often as possible.

    i think all parents are like that, or most, my parents tell me to go to the doctors when im down, then i get fed im depressed by him and get fed prozac and wellbutrin, and they aren't really doing much to help, maybe im just a hermit somedays lol, and there's no cure i dunno.
