Anyone else can't stand their parents?

[Himu]

Sorry if this seems emo, but I honestly can't stand my mom. My dad is okay, sometimes, but for the most part they are the most miserable, boring, selfish, self-absorbed people I know, always talking about how such and such is wrong about something or how they're better than such and such, and putting on airs in front of people, and belittling me. It's like they constantly have something up their ass for not explicable reason, and I can't stand it. This house is toxic and I'm looking at apartments in the city (Houston). I would be fine if they never entered my life again, is it bad I feel this way? Because I don't feel bad at all about it. My dad has cancer and I still don't feel bad about it.

Part of the reason I'm skeptical towards parenthood and even marriage is my parents. Who wants to live life like this?

[huckleberry]

I hate my wife's parents.  Does that count?

[Beezy]

I like my parents. I'm just tired of living with them. They're old (nearing retirement age), stubborn, and religious. We don't have many interests in common besides basketball and they find everything I do unusual. I guess that's expected, but I don't want to be questioned about every single thing that I do/like.

[Huff]

you need to move out

[Barry Egan]

My father is a grandiose, narcissistic twat.  Moms cool.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I haven't talked to my parents in months.  They're toxic people (I'm like sunshine and puppies compared to them, believe it or not) and realized that the only solution was cutting them out.  The final straw was when after squandering their retirement, they openly contemplated taking money from my bank account.  I relocated the funds to a credit union, closed the account, and the rest is history.

[Shaka Khan]

Like any young'un, I used to hate them. But I've been through so much shit the past 7-9 years and they've stood by me every step of the way, even though they could have easily given up on me. So now, and as the desert-people saying go: I'd jump in a fire if they want me to.

[pilonv1]

Probably this.

I think I'm lucky that my parents have been great, aside from the usual embarrassing stuff you get as a teenager.

ya moms great but a few months ago she stayed with my grandparents for a month.  god damn that was great.

[Himu]

I think my mom is using a refund check from my college loans to pay the mortgage. I don't have all the evidence yet but I think I'm right.

[Phoenix Dark]

My dad is probably the most popular person I know. He can be quite annoying in his lecturing and bible shit, but overall he's cool in my book.

My mom...lol. She's great, I love her etc. But she can be extremely difficult. She's the type who demands everything to be perfect and might explode if something isn't done to her satisfaction. Plus she comes up with the most elaborately redudent ways to do everything, and will get annoyed if you question her. Yard work as a kid was torturous because she'd have us do shit like dig a bunch of ditches and fill them with plants only to have us take all the plants out the next week and dump mulch there instead - and then move the plants into the back yard only to have us repeat the digging/mulch nonsense multiple times. 


Last year she asked to use my phone since she can never find hers, then proceeded to go through my text messages. Instead of just saying "I'm nosy so I went through your texts lol" she tried to be all subtle and shit

mom: so do you curse sometimes?
me: uhhh yea, why
mom: like on your phone?
me: why
mom: as in do you curse in your texts
me: you read my texts?
mom: you shouldn't curse so much with your phone

[Boogie]

Nope, my parents kick ass. 

[Human Snorenado]

I love my parents.  Dad is great, mom is... well, she's a mom.  She's meddling, annoying and exasperating at times, but she's my mom and I love her.

I don't think I could live with either of them anymore, though.  I live close by (like a couple doors down) from my mom due to her shitty health (mostly her knees are about shot so she has a hard time getting around) and even that's too close.  I could probably live with my dad if it wasn't for my step-mom, she's really uptight, judgmental and bitchy.  I'm pretty sure my dad agrees with me but he's also just used to being with her and hates being alone, so whatever. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Hate to tell you this, but she also explodes when it's done to her satisfaction.

[Shadow Mod]

I was born to some pretty crazy ass cool parents. No idea how I got so lucky.

[nudemacusers]

My parents are selfish, toxic people in an abusive relationship (father -> mother mostly). I moved out at 16, avoided them in college, invited them to my wedding for reasons i cant figure out, and cut off communication after they got in a fight outside during my wedding, among other things.

My wife's parents more than make up for them, though.

[Atramental]

My parents are conservative Christians.

I can not stand conservative Christians. Therefore, I can not stand my parents.

[fistfulofmetal]

during my child-hood my mom was selfish, manipulative, spent every dime of money she made, and hated my dad for a good portion of it. my dad was an occasional drunk and hardcore racist.

now that i'm an adult - my mom is still selfish, and manipulative, she still wasted a lot of money. but she isn't so bad at all three as she used to be. my dad quite drinking and isn't really that racist anymore (he voted for obama)

i tolerate my mom but occasionally we have a falling out and don't speak to each other for a few weeks. i don't see my dad all that often so i'm on good terms with him and we do stuff together on holidays.

[Inspector Thatcher]

My folks are two of the smartest people I've ever met.

[Akala]

my parents are awesome.

although, if we spend more than 3 days together, we are at each others' throats!

[Diunx]

I fucking hate my father.

[Positive Touch]

add me into the "awesome parents" pile

my parents have always worked their asses off for their kids, always been really supportive (prolly more than they should have been), and are really fun to hang out with.  even all my friends and ex-gfs have loved my parents.   and if all that wasn't enough, my whole family is actually the same way to each other - supportive, friendly, and caring.  i definitely hit the jackpot when it comes to awesome families.

[brawndolicious]

Himu, just shut up and love your parents. They don't sound that bad at all really, you sound like you had decent people raising you at least even if you don't really agree with them on some matters.

I love my parents but can't stand them. They are literally toxic people but I can't afford to cut them out of my life for what it could do to my little brother.

This. Like some strange thing happens when you move out, you suddenly get along with your family. I suppose it is because of the smaller doses you get of them

No they fucked up a lot of times as parents. I just told you an example where they were willing to destroy their children's future over money.

I don't mean to excuse your parent's faults and maybe I was wrong to say that you shouldn't complain, but it does sound like they are still tolerable.

[Fifstar]

Love my dad, he has been always there for me.

With my mom, I have this weird apathy. I would like to have a better relation to her but there just isn't much. Which makes it really weird when I visit her and we haven't spoken for months but not because we had a big fight but because there are no emotions between us. She feels like a stranger too me.

I don't see how you picked me in particular when my parents, particularly my mom, is in the same boat as the rest of the thread who aren't chummy with their folks, in that she's manipulative, especially when it comes to money and pretends like her husband and son exist. It just sounds to me like you're playing Olympics,"My parents are far worse, you have nothing to talk about" which is stupid.

[tehjaybo]

My mother is one of the nicest human beings I've ever known.  She's all around amazing, barely ever a bad word to say about her.

Dad's a verbally abusive dick half the time, just sits around the other half.

Lol so you make a thread complaining about having parents with crappy personalities then chastise someone who actually has a legit reason not to like their parents? SMH

[Himu]

I chastise him because he chastised me. Fire with fire, fuck him.

[magus]

my father is a quite taciturn and silent person and sometimes it's kinda hard to understand what he thinks of,my mother is the complete polar opposite and ALWAYS have to say what she thinks off even for the most trivial stuff to the point she sometimes annoys me and we end up quarrelling

my mother is also quite religious which seems a pretty common thing in this thread

i have a brother too,like my mother he can be often overbearing too,he and my mother often see things in complete opposite way which makes for a lot of discussions,i guess being overbearing it's a thing that runs in the family

otherwise they are coo and i guess i could do worse

[Verdigris Murder]

My father Terence is a red-head, and my mother Troshala is Congolese.

I'm Terrys Chocolate Orange.

[Oblivion]

Totally despise the padre, full stop.

Hate the way my dim bulb, uber conservative mother acts sometimes. I love her, but I sure as hell don't like her.

[Brehvolution]

My parents divorced when I was 15. Both are pretty chill and easy to talk to. They are cordial to each other too which is nice.

My father in law never cared about politics in all the years I've known him until Obama was elected. Since he's retired and gets to watch faux news all day, he's an expert in government and loves the tea party. He lives off of veteran's benefits and Social Security, hates government spending. We have arguments here and there. I pick my battles with him because he spent 18 month in Vietnam. He's entitled to his opinions even if I think he's wrong.

My mother in law is very sweet and kind Italian lady. She battled thyroid cancer for the first 6 years I knew her. She likes Sean Hannity but she doesn't wear her politics on her sleeve like he does.

[tiesto]

My father passed away ~10 years ago but he was a good man - very intelligent, liberal, hardworking and good to both me and my brother (helped us pay for college). Rather frugal though, a trait I have too... he never really wanted to go out for nice dinners or on fancy vacations (excepting chaperoning school trips to Europe).

My mom is your typical overbearing Italian mother. Spoils me and is still pretty overprotective (even though I'm turning 30 next month and should finally be all moved into my house by then), traditional/old-fashioned, and has an opinion about EVERYTHING, not afraid to speak her mind even if what she is saying is not nice.

well you're the one who made the thread. I'm just saying count your blessings and all that.

I think my mom is using a refund check from my college loans to pay the mortgage. I don't have all the evidence yet but I think I'm right.

Wait? Don't the refunds go through you first?

[Reb]

Emotionally unavailable. But they provided everything, so it's ok.

[Himu]

I think my mom is using a refund check from my college loans to pay the mortgage. I don't have all the evidence yet but I think I'm right.

Wait? Don't the refunds go through you first?

Exactly. I got the check a few months ago, and was going to send it to the loan people immediately. It then disappeared, I asked what happened to it, and she admitted to taking it, but refuses to give it back. It was a 10k check too.

Is that legal? Did they co-sign for your loans?

[Madrun Badrun]

ya did she pay for your school?

[Himu]

Didn't co-sign the loans.

[Mr. Gundam]

Didn't co-sign the loans.

If your parents didn't take out the loans, then she can't do that.

Unless you're not telling us the entire story, again.

[Himu]

Well, I haven't seen that check in months. That's all I know. I'm not making a big deal of it though. I'm just trying to get a new car so I can finally move out. I can't move out without a car but old car is apparently done at the shop so I may pick it up and start looking at apartments in the city.

[Mr. Gundam]

If the check was in your name, she cannot legally cash it and use it. Unless she forged your name or something.

[Himu]

It was in my name, it's probably just sitting around. But then again, she has used my cards as her own personal thing in the past because her cards are full up, so I wouldn't put it past her.

[Mr. Gundam]

It was in my name, it's probably just sitting around. But then again, she has used my cards as her own personal thing in the past because her cards are full up, so I wouldn't put it past her.

Call the loan company and ask if the check was cashed. If not, see if they'll cancel it and send you another one.

[Himu]

Huh? Oh. You're confused. The SCHOOL sent me a check, I'm supposed to give that money to the LOAN people.
