I always do whatever ask of me. I am always calm even if they are screaming. I never talk back. Because they think you're a pussy. I rage back for the lulz sometimes and don't do little things like washing the dishes, but I always get my ass in gear for the big stuff. That means when I get yelled at, at least I know I deserve it for being an ass sometimes  But I'd rather have that than being my parent's 100% bitch slave and still get yelled at.I also don't see fights as a big deal, after all no matter how bad at the end of the day you're still a family and you can come together and talk about it. Ask your parents about their work, ask them how you can help - it will bring you together. It's part of being human. I sit there speechless as they tell me how much I fail at everything, how being on a computer is ruining my life Oh yeah lol, best thing to do is just to ignore it. I haven't heard 1 useful bit of advice from my parents yet lol. | ||

I've always found it very interesting, and I hope I don't sound whiny -- it was just an example of a typical situation. If I was ever truly angered by this I'd actually talk back to my parents, but I really never gave a shit because little chores do not affect me in any way. I just wanted to know why it affects them in a huge way. | ||

I guess parents are just really stressed up when they get home from work and those small details makes them lose it. I think it just takes some time for them to accept those things and to realize how lucky they are having children who do well in school and spends more time in front of the computer rather than running the streets at night. | ||

When I was younger they would scream and bitch about every little thing possible just like your parents seems to do. But nowadays I can leave my room in a mess and they wont say a word.

It will make them think you're thinking about helping, thus not only are you helping, but you're also becoming more mature. And it will be beneficial to you, since you'd have to do that anyway (after they ask you), but now they don't yell at you, and will be more prone to cutting you some slack on something else. | ||

This is also why large families are seen as a potential psychological risk factor. Either way making a thread about your parents yelling at you seems wrong to me, your parents gave you everything. | ||

Which is why I made it clear in the OP that I in no way disliked my parents. I just wanted to understand something, being as I may encounter it in the future. finding flaws in your parents doesn't always mean you are a whiny little kid. | ||

From the sound of it he does everything right (of course he's probably exaggerating at least a little or omitting details without meaning to) and has every right to feel frustration. And rather than resort to screaming at his parents or threatening to stop doing what he already does such as take out the garbage, he's venting (in his own blog) in the hopes that he'll get some support and advice that will help him to find a solution that works for him without hurting his apparently over-stressed family. And what does he get? You making a complete asshole of yourself and acting like he's done something wrong. If you don't want to help him then that's fine. You owe him an apology for insulting him for no reason and you should just get the hell out if you have nothing to contribute... the OP has warranted neither insults nor trolling. edit: even after your immature accusations that he himself is being immature I see he is dealing with it appropriately and being polite. Props OP and gl with that very frustrating problem that I can relate to. | ||

So why is it, that when I say "hold on a minute," I get the "OMG YOU ARE soOO LAZY YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING IN THIS HOUSE! CANT YOU GET UP FOR ONE SECOND!!!?" You have to lower the bar by not being such a good kid, but it sounds like it may be a little too late for that. Its probably why your friends parents seem easier! | ||
