I'm your mother and "I can do whatever I want" attitude

[ninja51]

Parents can be kinda jerks, having a kid is all a big power trip in my opinion. Buuuuut she is cleaning for you so stop whining. I hate the im your parent so your my slave attitude, but seriously, she was doing you a favor

 

[nicholaxxx]

Wow, you have some balls to say that. I pay her, so no. She'd at least have to give me a month's noticed since I paid. My attitude is wrong? Look in a mirror bub. God.

*is surprised you didn't come back with "get off your high horse"*

I'd like to know how my attitude is wrong, she does stuff for you, and it happens to wake you up. Boohoo, if it's your shower, you should be grateful for her cleaning it when she doesn't have to. Go back to sleep after she's done if your really still that tired. Furthermore, you have enough money to pay for all the shit you need, haven't moved out and (as far as I can tell) don't go to school. My parents would kick my ass out of the house by then. I think you can stand a little bit of being woken up.

As many others have said: if it pisses you off that much, move out. Then you won't have to deal with your mom doing stuff so you don't have to.

wow varying opinions on this one o.o;

I'm a morning person so I never had this really happen, however I still had the 'i'm your parents so I can do what iw ant' ball thrown at me a few times. Essentially they ended it with 'if you don't like it, then you can leave'.

so I did.

THey weren't really happy about that and still think i'm messing my life up. Remember, your parents do love you, and are afraid for you. However they are still human.

Well let me tell you OP, back in my day (I believe it was 1941, or 42?) we had to wake up at 2am to a whip across the face from a bullwhip, and go out and scavenge through the dead bodies of people who had died in the Blitz because we had no money to feed ourselves, so if the corpses didn't give us money for food, we starved for the night. Then I had to walk 18 miles in the snow and wind to fetch a bucket of water and be back in time to give to my dying grandmother. Did I mention I didn't own shoes? The frostbite had already claimed both my arms, so I had to take the bucket back with my teeth. So heed my story next time you talk about your fancy modern day technology like "showers" and "cleaning"

Right, well...

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

Mate, my mum came in my room at 5:30 asking for my laptop..

I was so tired all day..and i'm a morning person =0

5:30 isnt the morning in my book. this is the summer, I dont go to sleep until like ....(depends on the night) 4-8

To the OP: Dude...if she was just cleaning...and not even directly bothering you id say leave it alone. you get a clean bathroom. If the bathroom i want to use is to get cleaned...I do it.... I say this is a battle your not going to win.....at all

I'll be honest waking up at 9am on a Saturday is never my idea of fun, unless I'm headed to work (in which case I'd be up before 9am) I get very grumpy at being woken up that early. As far as parents go the important thing to remember is they believe they're always right, you can point out the flaws and argue your points but they'll always play that card. If you had a I'm the child and can do whatever I want card you'd abuse it just as much I know I would.

Your Mum should understand you being a little annoyed but at the same time you should understand that your mum decided to clean your shower. If you don't like her waking you with housework take the housework in your room from her. That'll solve your problem I think provided you actually do the work otherwise prepare for arguements about doing it. Don't you just love living with your parents?

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Trust me, you do not want to live in a house where your mother thinks that housekeeping is not a high priority. It's nasty.
And 9 in the morning is a pretty late time to wake up.

Ha!
I generally get up at around 12 o' clock.
And yeah, my mom does this too sometimes, except she's pretty stressed out and we got some problems around, so I don't feel like pissing her off even more.

 

[Griphphin]

What if he already is just a plain asshole to his parents though? He doesn't deserve their respect then.

Not really referencing you specifically here, but that post sums up why I don't normally bother with story/rant style threads (from the creating or responding side). There are just far too many unknowns, and we're only hearing it from one side in a purely text-based source.

OT:When I'm not doing something(Saturdays usually, ironically) a lot of the time I end up sleeping in till around 11, and getting woken up earlier just means more time in the day for me ^_^

 

[park92]

so you get mad for someone doing chores for you???? what kind of person are you

 

[vivalahelvig]

get a job and move out to some apartment, thats what i did when my parents started to get on my nerves.
(i actually had to take pills to calm me down (anger management)

PILLS HERE

No, its PEELZ HEEERE. (with reverb as well)

OT: Imma kid and my dad cleans his bathroom, i clean my sinks and toilets, and he does the bath( because i seem to be unable to clean it thuroghly) and get up ur lazy ass, i wake up at 9:00 am to the bright light in my room EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. so if your mad your mom is cleaning HER house, and not making you clean 'YOUR' bathroom, why dont you just say 'thanks mom' ask when she's gunna be done and when she is, take a fucking nap with a pillow over your head.

 

[Woodsey]

You have an en suite and your parents don't?

Whilst I can see that as being very annoying, I'm not going to give you any sympathy because of that.

 

[Phoenixlight]

I agree that she should be nicer to you, if it was me I'd just clean it myself at a later point and tell her not to wake me.

 

[Cowabungaa]

The amount of people completely missing the point of this topic is astounding. One would think people can actually read, but nooooo....

In any case, yes I agree with you here. I hate that attitude, not just from my parents but from any person with authority. Being the boss doesn't mean you have to be an asshole. All it does it create an unpleasant atmosphere, you're not helping anyone with it.

You know what other attitude also grinds my gears? That arrogance that comes with parents. My dad wants me to listen to him just because he's my dad. But I don't work like that, I never will. When someone's wrong I'll say that, even when that person is my dad. Just because you're my dad doesn't make you less wrong.

Nor shall I give my dad respect just because he's my dad. Respect is earned, never granted.

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

All i can say to this is that young kids (generalisation incoming) respect their parents and the world at large a lot less than they used to.

That is because young kids have realised that nobody is ever entitled to respect. If you are good parents then you will have you child's respect, and I think that is fair. I, by the way, have great parents, who I do, therefor, respect.

 

[NoblePhilistineFox]

my mother tells me about which sexual positions her and her boyfreind try while I sleep in the room below them,
and she also knows that I dont sleep and can hear them above me.
when I confronted her about this, she simply said, "its my sexlife, it shouldnt bother you"
and here you are complaining that your mother woke you up because she was cleaning your bathroom which needed cleaning.
I want to stab you repeatedly...


but respect is a two way street,
you are both wrong.
you need to understand that she is an authority figure wheather you like it or not.
and she needs to understand that you do need your space and a little privacy is much appreciated.

 

[Vigilantis]

Uhm move out or shut up, if you are underage then shut up atleast your parent allows you a place to stay and a shower to have. Besides 9am really isn't that early unless you worked untill 5am the previous morning, but still...if this saturday is so uneventful why dont you just roll over and go back to sleep.

Understand this...SHE CAN do whatever she wants aslong as you live under her rule, but if you are afraid of getting screwed in the future by them over rent then I might add you should get some reciepts for any legal issues.

Move out...

 

[vivalahelvig]

Well think of it this way: She is your mom...without her YOU WOULDNT BE HERE she gave birth to you, she raised you, she bought you food and drink, she bought you toys, gave medicine when you were sick, and she helped you with your homework when you were stumped. so whenever your off your angst meds, just remember...Your mom did more for you then you will EVER do for her unless you help her when she is old, finance her when she may or may not have a job, and when she is in need, unless you dont help her, you can shove that toilet swab up your ass.

OFFTOPIC: i love these mayhem commercials right now, they are so funny.

whiny snip

You should be bloody courteous to your mother for cleaning an en-suit bathroom and you should be courteous that you've been allowed to have the bedroom with the en-suit (correct me if there are other rooms with en-suits; the op really needed more info to be honest)

snip

She'd at least have to give me a month's noticed since I paid.

You know, unless you signed a legal document saying that she has to give you a months notice before she kicked you out she can make you pack your stuff and leave WHENEVER she wants.

Edit:

No, you parents seem worse then the OPs. The only thing the OPs parents appear to have done wrong is wake him up when cleaning HIS shower. Yours on the other hand seem to be control freaks.
