Parents are loving ridiculous (Another parent rant thread)

[blueblur121]

my mom used to let me take the car out but like a few days ago she got an email from my ex boyfriend telling her that I do hard drugs and that hes "worried for me" and now shes all uptight and wont let me do anything even though I took a drug test and everything showed up negative.

How about you tell her that your ex boyfriend did that just to make her worried.

Tell her to think logically and not believe her ex that would lie just to get back at you

lol my parents are kinda strict with the one thing i use which is the internet.
i can only use it from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm even during the summer. (of course i'm on for about 90% of that time)

and whenever i ask them to take it off and tell them that tons of other people are on much later than me and aren't restricted they just say that they have "bad parenting"

hopefully when my birthday comes i can convince them to remove the restriction

My internet is limited to parents' phone hotspots. My mom will usually ask me if I'm in the middle of something before turning it off (uses lotta battery) but my dad just shuts it off whenever he decides. Annoying when playing online and the game randomly crashes because of it.

Does she raid your search histories and go through your belongings? I'd be so angry if it came down to thatjust from suspicion. Doesnt matter if I even did have anything to hide because I expect some level of privacy.

Because Im not supposed to know that my ex boyfriend sent her an email. My dad told me and told me not to say that I knew.
So I have to pretend like I dont know that but that's why shes freaking out now

She thinks hes such a nice boy and doesnt understand why I broke up with him and wants to know why I cant just date nice smart boys like him.

How the hell did the drug test end up negative that's what I wanna know x)

[Caribou]

I do agree with her though, if you have nothing to hide then you shouldn't sorry. Beside though, I do think you should have the ability to live your own life.

I have relatively non-strict and reasonable parents, but they are about using my bike. When I go anywhere on my bike I'm supposed to take a phone, and don't want me going any farther than 2 miles from the house which is irritating

I hope for the best for you op

im so grateful to have cool, non-strict parents

I know I may sound like your mom, but I can understand her feelings. It's not like you do anything illegal or stuff like dat.........,,

Hm, not sure what to tell you now. Sorry :c

I don't really have strict parents, it almost seems as if they couldn't care less.

what about the part where they take your desktop/laptop/tablet away every chance they get?

[ultimamax]

it's sort of like the NSA thing. "if you have nothing to hide, you'll let us read all your emails and all internet communication that passes in and out of the US, encrypted or otherwise, bcuz terrorism"

im pretty sure most of the reason she's worried is because she thinks you are at risk of doing hard drugs
just tell her that you know about the email and it was a lie by him
having her be angry temporarily is probably better than her not letting you do anything on your own for the rest of your life

I get in trouble for the dumbest things, like:
-I get upset at something and won't tell them why
-Forget to take my pill in the morning/night
-When I go what they consider "far" on my bike
-The one time when I took my laptop out of the house when I didn't know it was not allowed
-Accidentally breaking a glass cup

this is probably your best bet
