Parents have to be demanding, because if they do not you will get in a lot of trouble. It is for your safety not theirs. You will thank them when you are grown. We all go through these phases in life and appreciate it when we get a little older, do not forget someday you will be that parent put yourself in their situation, if you was the parent. What would you allow your daughter to do.

I think it's because the parent has lost control and can't stop themselves.  It's pure frustration, and it is sadly all too common.  These parents just need to learn how to control themselves and they will get the best out of their children.

DON'T YOU JUST HATE WHEN PARENTS USE THAT LINE LOL......\nmy mother and father were the same when i was living with them they would both say that to me and i was like shut up let me learn things for myself but they would still put in what they thought.... even if i didn't want to hear it. I'm 20 and now living out of home and they don't interfere don't get me wrong if you are still at home i'm not telling you to move out cause it's not easy belive me, but you really need to put your foot down. i belive at the age of 20 you are old enough to make your own decsions whatever they may be wheatehr they like it or not. parents always worry and try to take control i think it's just in them lol. you have to tell him that he would have once had to learn for himself and now it's your turn and it's time for him to let you grow into being a good man, tell him that you were raised to do the right thing and he sould trust you.\ntalk to him mate\ngood luck and i hope your dad realises that you are old enough to make your own choices \nmel

They just want to be sure they are not going to be supporting you until your 30!  Do you have a job?  Are you still in school?  Collage?  Do you help around the house?  Do you contribute to the household expenses?  If you answered no to any of these then you probably are ungrateful for your parents and all they have done for you over the years and its about time for you to be on your own.

Please tell them what you wrote.  They should want this day to be the most wonderful day for you.  Yes most parents want a say in it and because they pay for it they expect it. But who planned their wedding???  Our parents planned ours and I regret it still many years later.  Tell them this is our day, we value your opinion and will compromise as best we can but we want it to be special for us.  Tell them you will pay for or whatever it takes.  If there are parts that you can agree on let them pay for that.

Hey, sounds like it sucks at home lately.  I have some words of wisdom for you, but I'm not going to drag your parents through the dirt in public, simply because you said "please email me."  So I've done that.  Keep an eye out for me, and we'll talk.\nOh, and for those who insist that you talk to them about it, I'll agree to a point, but right now it sounds like I wouldn't recommend it.

You have got to be kidding.  Parents are not hard enough.  Try growing up with my parents and you'd know what hard was.

because parents like to put to much pressure on kids and it just another way of them saying they want you to do better!

I was amazed at your honest statement..."I needed love not harsh punishments." That tells you what you should do.....tell your parents that exact statement.....be honest in YOUR needs....and if they are the type of parents to ignor you or not listen to your needs, write them a letter.....if they still doese not work...ask them to get you profesional help...a family therapist so you can over come the resentment and denial of your needs. If they will not find a therapist for you...go to your school counsler....they will help...you have done an amazing thing here....keep up the good work...light to you!

omfg! im sooo sorry to hear about that, your parents are fucking sick bastards i have to say! They sound like there are seriously menatally ill and need professional help!\n\nI have to say your bf sounds lovely for taking care of you and being there for you, i would personally give him a hug if i saw him.\n\nHave you reported any of these incidents when you were younger to the NSPCC for example?\n\nYou are past 16 so therefore, intitiled legally to leave home and im sure the local council could set you up in a new estate away from your parents. However, although you are past the age of using childline and NSPCC you can always call the smaratins for more help and advice who could arrange your house setting and also prosecute those demon parents of your so you can get your just desserts.\n\nIf you ever wanna talk just email me or message me on madness17@hotmail.co.uk\n\ni sure hope things improve for you and best of luck for the future xxx\n:)
