Pressure From Parents??


spiderman

Recommended Posts

i dont think my parents are thaat bad (cos i aint exactly a wayward offspring) but sometimes i feel like their pressuring me a bit. thinking i shud be this and that/i aint doin enuff in certain areas. really pisses me off cos sometimes i feel like their overacting, as if im some kind of failure. really used to get me fired up and cause arguements but these days i just try to discuss it rather than have a shouting match. nt really a constant problem but sumtimes its der.does anyone else feel like their parents pressure them at all in any areas of their lives?

our personalitys totally clash.i could deal with the pressure though, it's when they start talking about / comparing you to your friends that would get me pissed off.
ye this is how i mean, sort of offend u in that sense. rather then positive critiscim it comes off as they aint content with you.what makes it worse is wen u cant even discuss the matter cos they always think ur wrong and never wanna see things from ur side. makes it impossible to avoid an arguement sometimes.

I hated that so much. They stopped when they saw how some of these friends turned out.I've never really been pressured by the 'rents tbh, although my mum tries to make me be a certain a way (like outspoken and extroverted because I'm too reserved). I know she means well and she's doing it for my own good but I can't really change that because it's just not me.

bein the smarter of the siblings + being the youngest does me good still
but they used to pressure me into getting a job. Rightfully so tho, coz I look back now and realise I was a bum and if I was in there position I'da done the same thing. My parents dont really know how much I appreciate them. Shame really 'cause you never know whats around the corner.

it just feels annoying cos im well happy at the moment in life, with who i am and what i do and how i live etc etc....so why cant they be content and why do they feel the need to pressure me. i know they mean well and i appreciate their ideas but theirs only so much pushin u can do, some things seem unreasonable.im just being me at aged 20. aslong as ders nuffin shockingly wrong there shud be nothing wrong with that. we are who we are, and its normal that kids wont meet ALL of parents ideals, we aint perfect to their vision. just gotta accept that, its life.

They only want the best for you. If they left you to your own devices and you went the wrong way you'd be bawlin in 20years time when your in and out of rehab or your life is a shambles saying if only.Just take it on the chin

lol ye i understand that bit and where their coming from, just dnt agree with their methods. proper brings me down wen normally im pretty content and happy go lucky. sometimes i almost resent that they bring down my positive buzz on life wen they do that.still i do make a bit of effort. i filter out the crap and consider what their sayin and do TRY to listen rather than completely block what their sayin out, but still they dnt really acknowledge that, ill only hear if i do wrong, not if i do any right lol.

im in the same boat as you fam
lol same here. Only time I really come out of my room is when I wanna watch summin on sky cos i dont have it in my room or for food lol. Always telling ive wasted my life cos i took a gap year. Telling me to get a full time job (even when I have a part time one) & as soon as they speak to someone else's parents thats all i get for the next month "well *insert name here* is doing this with their life" "or you could have been doing what *insert name again* is doing if you stuck it it" blah blah
