As a parent, there are things you do not explain, and things that you may end up explaining, but didn’t have to, in order be fair, but did anyway. Then there are things that you
do explain. You explain them because if you don’t, the value of the lesson is lost. Remember that communication is the key to any relationships, and is obligatory in parenting as well. In my opinion, as a parent, you get the respect you give.
I’m not defending the kid that asks, “Why do I have to do the dishes?” because when it comes to stuff like this, I don’t like an argument. I think there are certain things you can just say, “Because I said so,” and leave it at that. But there are rational things, and there are irrational things. I have not yet decided whether your parents are acting 100% reasonable and rational yet. I never just give the parents the benefit of the doubt, for being the adults.
Instead of telling you, “You have anger issues,” Id like to ask you why you’re so angry with them? I don’t think you’d mind having a “shit job” if you felt like you knew or understood where your parents were coming from, and from what I’ve read, you don’t.
One thing that you wrote was something about having “windows nailed shut, and bedroom doors locked?” I’d like to ask you more about this. Was this
your parents that did this?
Sorry if I’m way late coming in here, and I’ll understand if I don’t get a response. I also didn’t read this thread word for word because of its length, so don’t hurt me if I quoted you wrong.
