Why is it that most parents go insane?

Dude I've always wondered this too. I also got that "time bomb" feeling when my Mom asks me to do simple tasks and I'd be in a game for example... And then I get the rant about how I can't do this and that and I'm so lazy. I'm like WTF? I said I'll do it when this game ends.. "JUST PAUSE THE GAME!" She doesn't understand -.- But yeah, I think they're just trying to be good parents... or something..

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.

One thing I learned is that doing one thing without being asked is worth doing ten things only upon being asked to do so.

It's a legitimate topic IMO.

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 have always asked the exact same question. But somehow my parents changed. 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.

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.
Really, play for fun!

^^Do more of this. 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.

yeah i get this, i mean, i've done it before.

it's a good solution, but it's a solution to a problem that I don't think should exist in the first place.

i mean, i know there are a lot of other kids out there who are lazy, whiny, and find every little chore to be the end of the world -- screaming at them would make more sense.

oddly enough, that is my younger brother -- who they clearly favorite (and no this isn't a whiny jealous claim -- it's pretty obvious).

Because they are possibly impatient + have to deal with 8 children, which is not really normal. 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!
