Ten Most Annoying Things About Parents
The Top TenXW
1They always think you're lying even when you're telling the truthThis happens to me alot, so annoying!
Me too, even if I'm telling the truth they always say "your getting the wrong message" I mean danmed I'm right!
This happened to me today I was writing stories in my notebook when I went to the living room and my brother was using my tablet without permission. So I went and just snatched it from him. So he almost got on my back he was trying to get it from my hands. I holded it tightly so he won't get it. I told my mom about it and she told my brother to give it back to me cause it is mine. But my brother wants to still use it so my mom told me the stupidest thing to let him use it. I got his damn tablet it was already gonna be dead so I slammed the tablet on my bedroom floor like an idiot. My brother acts like if he never used a electronic device before. I went to the room my brother was using my tablet at and I tried to snatch it from him but he was holding on it so tight I couldn't grab it. He did the stupidest thing he kicked me all over my body. I thought he was gonna bite me numerous times. I told my mom right away but she said go tell your dad. My foolish mother is lazy and does'nt want ...more
I am so sorry for you does this always happen to you if it does well I hope some day it will change.
2When having an argument or just talking, they say you're getting an attitude when it's really just you trying to be neutral about it.Seriously! This has been happening to me since forever! They always say I'm getting an attitude, but it isn't true. I'm just trying to keep my emotions under control.
So I'm 13 and I was at volleyball practice (my mom is my coach) and we were doing this drill for ball control where 3 people stand in front of the net with their backs to the net and there is a line in front of the outside hitter position the first person at the net passes the ball to you and you pass once to yourself and then to the next person at the net and so on and then you pass/set the ball to yourself all the way around the other side of the net and back to the line so anyways I was in the line and it was my turn so the first person passes me the ball and then the next person and finally I get to the 3rd person at the net and I kinda bump set it you know like. It was a pass but it would've been a good set and the girl at the net spikes it back to me and of course it goes over my head (always swing down! ) and I miss the ball but you aren't supposed to hit/spike the ball in this drill so I would've been the first person to make it all the way around and this girl (we'll call her ...more
The story of my life
3When you say all the other kids are doing it or have it they tell you that you're not other kids...but when they compare you to other people it's okay&Mom please can I have call of duty? All of my friends have it! &Mom-&Well they have a different family than us. Don't compare you with your friends. &*A few weeks later*&Mom can I go to the mall with my friends? &Mom-&Does so-and-so's mom let him go to the mall without supervision? &*Facepalm*
My mom threatened to hit me because I was playing Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto... what is life?
OH. MY. GOOD. THIS IS SO TRUE! I try every argument I can to get them to buy me an iPhone, including the &everyone else has one too&...Me: Can I please please PLEASE have an iPhone 4s?Dad: AND I'm GONNA GUESS YOU'RE ASKING BECAUSE YOU SAW OTHER PEOPLE WITH ONE?Me: Well yeah and I like iPhones too so please?Dad: NO. You are NOT them and you are my kid so you must do what I say and I say NO.***months later***Dad: WHY can't YOU BE LIKE you're FRIENDS AND GET ABOVE 100 GRADES LIKE THEM?!Me: *using their argument against them* Well its because, oh I don't know... I'm NOT THEM.Dad: that's NOT THE POINT!
Abby can go there whenever she wants. I just want to go one time! Yeah, but there are many kids who can't. Yes, because their parents are narrow-minded. Unlike you. *asskisser-moment*
4Because I Said SoI also hate everything eles on this list especially:6) Turning nothing into something 8) They always think you're lying even when you're telling the truth 9) Their singing 10) They die 11) They think that they hold your future 13) Making your bed 20) Very talkative and gives you lots of commands even if you can't do it 22) They choose what is the best for you but actually its the worst 25) They choose your name
Almost everything in this list I hate I love my parents singing I ESPECIALLY LOVE MY NAME and I hate making my own bed so I let them make it
I don't care what kind of authority figure you are, this will never EVER be a valid reason for anything. If you have a good reason for telling your kid to do/not do something then why not just tell them? And if you don't, why would you tell them to do it? You can't be a good example for your kids if you keep your motives a big mystery, so just explain stuff. It won't kill you.
They don't understand me. they even don't like noticing me on very iMum I'mMum, Dad please buy a new laptop
5They are big liarsWhen my brother decided to study music as a major and a career, my mom was supportive of him. She said, &quotI'll let you chase your dreams&quot and that &quotI'll let my kids decide their future&quot. Thus, I had a conversation about my aspirations, and it went like this:Me: Mom, I want to be an artist. (I'm in tenth grade by the way)Mom: No. That'll never happen. You MUST become a dentist. Art will just be a hobby for you.Me: Why?Mom: You'll just starve and live as a beggar if you are an artist.Me: But you let my brother pursue his dream of becoming a musician. Why won't you support my dreams? I don't want to become my dentist. I'm not interested in it. I love art, so I want to make it my career. Wouldn't it be great if my career would be something that I love to do? I have no interest in being a dentist.Mom: Look. Dentists have high salaries. That's why you MUST become a dentist. Since you're my child, you have to listen to me. You ...more
I feel so sorry for you dude. Don't let your mom get in the way of your dreams. Ignore her. - Pegasister12
Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus. Need I go on?
=( My dad told me the boogyman would eat me when I went to sleep if I was a bad boy I was scared from about 4 - 6 years old
Intentionally or not, it is no surprise for them to -try- and act like they know stuff about something they know absolutely nothing about.
6They get mad when you prove them wrongmy mom just shuts up and sits there, I asked her why once and she said it was because I win every argument. - Queen-aholic
I feel bad for your mom if she always loses the arguments, she might start thinking she's stupid and start being depressed, that happened to my mom once
sounds just like my mom except my #1 would be &NO& - Nu_Metal_rocks
My mom just sits in one corner and listens to stupid music and when I tell her she's the one not doing her mother-job she just says I play my computer games too much. Oh really? I don't. And sometimes when she sees something interesting on her phone she smiles and I try to be nice to her (It's hard to see her smiling when you're unhappy) but she just says "Oh I'm not smiling. Probably I did it by accident." And then I said, "Can you please use your earplugs to listen to music, Mom. I don't like your music." Then she gets angry and she says "Then you cover your ears! " I mean like what, whose Mom is as stupid as mine?!She always try to get on her smartphone to chat with friends or look up stuff but then I sit in a corner always doing my homework. Sometimes I get really fed up. What's more when I complete my homework I get no game-time. Or free-time.I'm really angry and it's luck I can post this here without my mom seeing I'm using the computer.
7They always want you to be honest but when you are they get angrySo true. Although tact helps a little bit, it won't help if the parents don't expect you to actually be right about something that pertains to the &real world.& It comes across as being a smart-ass even if you're not. And if you aren't saying like a smart-ass, you're guaranteed to sound even MORE like a smart-ass.
Coming home after she made me come shopping with her:Mom: "What's wrong? "Me: "Nothing"Mom: "Something is wrong. Tell me! "Me: "I don't want to say"Mom: "I want to know! "Me: "Well, I heard you gossip about me while I was in the dressing room. You told the cashier that I'm a really grumpy kid."Mom: "Look at you! You ARE grumpy! Don't get mad at me! "She might as well have said, "I'm the perfect parent and you're just the stupid teenager."
My dad recently joined church these past 2-3 years and changed. He turned from getting angry and shouting all the time to being angry and then having sudden moments of smiling and niceness afterwards (which is harder to deal with and more confusing! ). This month, he started to have us have family meetings every Saturdays to talk about rules (don't like it but unwillingly agreed), but before that we must listen to him pray before we review our household rules. I'm 17 and I've been raised an atheist (besides going to church for Christmas and such days) my whole life. We are an Asian family so we're not allowed to talk back to parents no matter how wrong they seem to be. So, for Saturday meetings, he said we can speak freely---whatever we want. I spoke honestly and told him I wasn't comfortable with him speaking about religion because I wasn't raised like that here and at school either and then had a fit. I literally had a panic attack, but afterwards both of my parents got angry and ...more
8They call it arguing but you call it explainingMy sister started an argument and so I argued back and my mom told both of us to shut up and I said I shouldn't get the same punishment as my sister because she was the one who started it when she said not to say anything else I said fine but I was just saying that since my sister started it... You're not going to (place)! I didn't even want to go so I said I didn't even want to go anyways and she said not to say anything about else I said fine but I'm just saying you should choose something else because I didn't want to go to... You're getting a spanking!
I can say something and my mom says she doesn't understand. When I explain it to her, for some odd reason, she'll come out of no where be offended by it and yell at me saying "why do you always start arguments with me? " It doesn't matter if I was talking about SpongeBob riding and elephant, she's still gonna get mad.
Sometimes I wish my parents would disappear. My first panic attack was last week! They kept telling me to think of something creative after taking away my only source of inspiration. Step-dad came in to see me thinking of what to write (I really tried, but it's always "you're not trying hard enough"). He yelled at me and threatened me, he broke the closet door out of the walls. (I only got bruised a little since I was sitting next to it). My brain just shut down and I started having a panic attack, resulting in me also having a nosebleed while coughing up blood.
9They dieWish they could stay forever :-( - michaeler
Yeah I'm 14 years old and I was adopted by my actual grandparents (VERY LUCKY) there about 76 now.. but there still very strong and healthy for their age =)
Oh I'm gonna miss them when they die. You never appreciate things until they r gone. :(
Damn those other comments. We've been naughty we've been naughty. This is a real and true comment. - bluecameron
10They always think they are rightLook, I know my parents might think they know everything because they're adults, but COME ON! Just the other day I was talking to my mom and my dad comes storming into the kitchen yelling at me like "Rachel! You're supposed to be taking the garbage out! Not sitting around the house! " And then I realized it WAS garbage day, so I just went to go put the garbage near the road. But that's when the problem began: I asked him what garbage had to go out, and he answered saying the blue bin, the compost, and the garbage. I wasn't sure if that was correct, because I looked outside and everyone had their black bins and garbage out, so I looked it up on my tablet and told my dad it actually was the black bin and the garbage that had to go out. And guess what he did? He threw a hussy fit right there on the spot! He kept on telling me "No! You're wrong! It's the blue bin instead of the black bin, and blah, blah, blah." So of course my response was to correct him, and he continued with his ...more
When my dad was in school he went through tech and helped design a fake video game and a few days ago he asked me where he could see the updates when I tried to show him me just said I was wrong and sat by the computer for hours so I went to my computer and went to where I was downloading a game (can't think of the game) when he came up and asked for help seeing that I was on the download file I once again tried to show him but halfway through he said " no you have to go" takes computer " here then here then here and there wait why is nothing there" he backtracked to the the point where he had clicked on so many different files he had opened up a file directory but when I showed him what he had done wrong he stormed put of the room
I love my mom and everything, I even appreciate when she grounds me and I deserve it. I also appreciate all the life lessons she give to me, but this really gets me angry lot of times. She NEVER recognizes things she say or do to me that are just not right at all, she also NEVER understands certain situations where I think I deserve to be understood (also, considering I'm a teen). You can't argue with her or say a word or you are being "disrespectful" and you have to obey because she is your mother...i always have to be the one that asks for forgiveness, even if it's all her fault or she is overreacting!

?They blame video games for violence.Not true violence comes from anger which parents give you and they only add more and more by blaming said video games.
Not all video games are violent, Mom!
?When you are going somewhere like your bedroom and during that, they look everywhere in your search history
The Contenders
11They let your little brother get away with things and don't believe youThat REALLY gets annoying. My brother does something, I get mad at him, and he's SEVEN. And my parents always say &he's younger than you are&, or &He's little& or some crap like that. He's in second grade, I mean come on! Just ' believe me for once! He CAN hurt me, dad. Just because I'm a 6th grader I'm not invincible.
It's just plain unfair. They stick to whichever side of the argument they think is more feasible. They're still doing this when my younger brother's 13, for God's sake! One time, I dropped the iPad and they used MY money to repair it! When HE broke it, they used their own money! He's not 3 anymore, and I'm not some charity or insurance company! It is so unfair! - PositronWildhawk
Yup 100% agree brother punches me across the face for not giving me game go show mom my swelling cheek and bloody mouth she says in blaming my brother like what why would I Make a few teeth crooked and bloody just to blame my brother who said he didn't do it with a bloody knuckle or two and later after my brother had punched me again on the pter side of the face and my mom saw it she said you made him do it I'm sitting there moving my jaw hurts and when I got to the dentist he asked who punched me and I said my brother he told my mom and said she saw him punch me but didn't beloved me still so yeah I have a fractured jaw and a chipped tooth I can't eat vey well and no one will help me and only my friend at school helps me eat I'm 18 and I'm thinking of running away to a small house I had built In the woods with some sticks a tarp from my house and I'm staying there until I find a place to live
12When they find something out they tell EVERYONE they possibly knowYes! I remember when I got my period for the first time my mom went and blabbed it to everyone in the family after I told her not to!Worst part? We had a family party that night (distant relatives and friends too) so I came to the living room to say hi to everyone and my cousin yells out that I got my period just in case some didn't know even though everyone knew and then the whole night everyone was telling me how proud they were that I got it! :$ so embarrassing!
That happened to me and I was so mad. She told my grandma before I went to her house and my grandma told me how to work a pad even though I already knew how to. I just wanted to go die in a hole.
Yeah... SOMETIMES... Like when I fell in a river... And she told EVERYONE. I was so embarrassed. All the people are laughing at me!
I tripped on my little brother's baseball, my mom had to tell every single person she met that whole entire week! I got so angry, and she was like: "Oh, so now I can't talk to my friends, or about my daughter? " and then yelled at me.
13Who are you texting?I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT! Its none of your business stay out of my life please!
Very recently. My Mother noticed that I always seem to be looking at my phone and tapping out a message. Does it really matter? - Britgirl
OH MY GOD I want to punch my dad in the face when he asks that!
14They stop you from having privacySometimes they repeatedly insist that they want to see my diary.
My mom tries so hard to find out why I'm "acting funny". She actually went to school and asked my teachers, the principal, the vice principal, and the office what have I been talking and doing there. When I'm in my room reading a magazine or picking out and trying on school clothes, she'll either yell and say "what are you doing" and start yelling at me that I'm not doing the laundry, cleaning the kitchen or bathroom, or any other room in the house. Or she'll just walk in and and ask the same things. Uh, hello, all you ever do is try to see what I'm up to and if I'm not doing what you want me to you ask why aren't I working. You alway make a mess and throw a big fit that I should clean this and that. well excuse me, but aren't you supposed to do that and I have chores to help you out... Is that too much to ask for, we have other things in mind that we'd like to do other than be your made.
Sometimes, my parents try to look up the history on MY PERSONAL ipod NOT an ipod that I share with them, MY PERSNONAL IPOD! I don't even look at anything bad but they don't believe me :(
15They restrict my freedomI'm 15 years old! I have never stayed the night at a freinds house, I never gone out with my freinds, none I of my freinds are allowed to come to my house.i'm not allowed to wear any make up what so ever, and I have no privacy and I never had a phone.Also I'm not allowed to have a Facebook, Twitter, or instagram! :(
Almost like mine, they let me have social media and have friends over and a phone. I can relate to the "no makeup" and "no sleepovers" thing. - Pegasister12
This is like story of my life. I cannot wait to be out of the house
I'm 12 she goes through my phone history always asks what I'm on and she says I can't go to a friends house unless she knows the parents. She won't even let me text to my friends (even though I don't have any... ) and I'm gonna have to delete my history after being on here. She says I can't go outside without asking because someone might "take me away." I'm super smart and can run fast I have watched so many I survived episodes so if anything like that does happen I'll be prepared. Two years ago I had to ask her before eating something. I mean seriously! I'm in perfect health!
I really feel sorry for you I'm approaching my 12th and I have all social media, my history remains unchecked but my mum does do the thing about she has to know the parents and I have the money for a phone but she doesn't let me buy one - nope234
16Turning nothing into somethingMy mother does this all the time. I make a simple statmemet and then she suddenly has an urge to turn it into some huge conversations about the meaning of life, or a life lesson, or something like that. CAN'T I JUST TALK!
MY DAD DOES THAT he used to be this very cool, down to earth guy now he's like IN EXTREME BABY PARENTAL MODE VERSION 5000
One time I left my jacket at my friend's house, and my mom suddenly lectures me about how I lose everything and freaks out because it's winter and I don't have a jacket and I'm like "Mom it's no big deal, I'll just go over to her house and get it back, and THEN my mom lectures me about how I shouldn't walk down the street alone and that I could get kidnapped, even though my friend's house is down the street from mine and that I walk to school every day and it's further away from my friend's house. Just a tiny little problem that could have been solved in 10 minutes, turned into a massive situation
I want to wear shorts in winter but I only walk a tiny bit in a weather that isn't that cold. My mom wears three shirts and a heavy coat in 50 degree weather and she expects me to do that too. Shorts are so comfortable to me. Mom yelled at me and told me someone would kidnap me since they would think my mom doesn't care about me, mom said I would get sick even though I'm out there for less than a minute. She even told me I look ridiculous and said she is in charge of me and kept nagging me. I just want to wear shorts, why the hell do you get to decide what I wear?
17They deny half of what you say even when they know it's trueThis is where I come in?
Story of my life?
I am always lying and I am always wrong. They just don't want to listen

18When they say you don't concentrate on your work even though you are coming back with perfect gradesI suck at social and for me getting 80 on social is amazing but my parents are like no you should have gotten at least 90 I'm taking away all the electronics in my house. I'm very depressed because in social we do current events and I can't get a high grade without hound online and checking the news or T.V. it's so annoying and when I told them this they gave me a T.V. plugged it in and kept it on static with no channels on the T.V. and said tere you go three my papers at me and told me to work when they asked me why I got 0 I told then the same thing and they said I should have told them I'm depressed and think they only like my brother who can do anything because he's one year younger and deserves more freedom I'm thinking of committing suicide but I don't want to because of all my friends please help I'm super depressed phones don't work my parents have a tracker on me all the time it's stupid
Seriously, do they think that I earn straight A's by sitting on my ass all day?
I get 92 percent on my science test and they criticize because apparently "I should be getting 100! " do they ever say anything nice or positive? Ugh
19When they ask a question and you try to answer and they tell you to be quiet.Mom: SO how was school?Me: Ohh, well we learned about...Mom: SH I'm ON THE PHONEWELL YOU ASKED, I always just what to PUNCH somwthing when she does that!
Mom: Why would you ever say something like that?Me: Because...Mom: Anyway, Jack (my Dad) how was work? (or something random)
Mom: did you have to be spiteful?me: well do you have to ask? rachel (my cousin) was being rude, she used the tip of the correction tape to scratch me, her elder! *shows her the scratch mark*mom: shut up. I don't want to hear you talk back. rachel is young and doesn't know anything, she couldn't have done that on purpose. that small scratch should be nothing for you. you're her elder right? then you should bear with it and stop whiningWHAT THE HELL? do you really think a dumb child would use the TIP of the correction tape to scratch people?! what do you mean nothing for me? wanna try that? I'll use the same thing to scratch you and I'll see how you like that
20They shout at you for a slight mistake even if you didn't mean to do itI've stepped on my mom's foot once, and I got grounded even though I said sorry. But when she steps on my foot, I forgive her. One day I stepped on her foot in public, and then she began too yell at me. After she was done yelling, I yelled at her back about her getting made when it was an accident, and me forgiving her when she did it too me. She was really embarressed and turned red. She never yelled when something dumb like that happened again.
I was in my room and my sister was visiting me and my family from California. Then the phone rang. My sister and my mom were both in the kitchen (closest to the home phone) but none of them answered. My room is far from any home phone we own and then I completely hear my dad yelling at my name and I got up quickly and went out my room and he told me in a loud yelling voice to pick of the phone and ran to the home phone only to find it was too late to answer so my dad quietly cursed the d word. He started yelling at me for the whole house to hear and made me cry and embarrassed since my sister was there and she was an adult and I'm only 11 years old. The day before that he yelled at me probably 2-3 times for something I didn't even do. And there was even more people at my house. My 5 year old niece was in my room and she banged something against the wall several times under my bed and I was about to get under my bed and tell her to stop until my dad came into my room and yelled at me ...more
Story of half my life. My mother refuses to apologize for any of it, too. For example, I own a small speaker for my phone to listen to music. I'm in the basement, listening at a semi-quiet volume. Mind you, my mom is upstairs doing laundry and you can't hear yourself think in there. She supposedly yells at me 3 different times to help her. You CANNOT hear a damn thing between the upstairs and the basement. So, instead of coming downstairs and simply asking for my help, she screams at my lazy ass step dad to get me out of my room. So he yells at me because, instead of finding the facts first, they assume I'm ignoring them. I tried to explain the problem and what really happened, but then they just sat there and ignored me. Even though all day I cleaned the ENTIRE 5 bedroom 3 bath house for them, and not even because I was told to. I did it to be nice. But they still tell me I'm being an arrogant prick because I couldn't hear my mom ONCE. I can't wait to find a job and leave. I'll ...more
