I am also not willing to completely disregard the standards I have set for my lifestyle just to show my Mom that I am boss. I was just seeking wether it was correct and rightful for my parents to do this or not.
its their job to prepare you for adulthood. to be a person that functions well in society and can take care of himself.
but many parents dont know WHEN to see anything more then a baby when they deal with their kids. even years later as they mature.
this quite literally means; they dont respect you.
im not saying you have to slap your mom across the face and expect her to call you sir. but jesus christ you cant just continue to fear and depend on her.
its easy to assume shes always right when you are 5 years old and need her. but part of growing up is demanding respect when it belongs there.
you arent 5 any more. rules have logic and reason to them. and its her responsibility to teach you how to decipher the logic; not just list off rules.
life isnt about memorizing good and bad. you have to grow the forget up. you are at the age where she has to teach. not tell.
if she cant do that; then she cant be trusted. and you just taking the punishment without any question is going to make you a bitch as an adult lol.
