025: WTF do my parents want from me?
So, my parents have been EXTRA ANNOYING and EXTRA NAGGING this year.
One of their most used phrases: “Why do you lock yourself in your room all the time and don’t come into the family room?”
My dad tried to get me out of my room; he turned of the internet so I couldn’t go on my computer, he tried bringing my computer outside to the living room, and he just tried screaming my name so I came out.
Why do I not spend time with my family? Why do I stay in my room for most of the time I’m home?
Maybe cause I’m actually doing homework in my room? Maybe I’m actually studying for the test coming up.
Or maybe it’s cause if I’m out in the living room, my parents bombard me with questions like “WHY AREN’T YOU IN YOUR ROOM STUDYING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?” Maybe cause once I take off my headphones all I can here are their constant nagging and lectures about not being good enough and about getting betters grades, spending my time better, etcetc. Maybe I just need some freakin’ space and to be alone to wind down, esp if I had a long day.
Could it be that when I’m in the living room, no one else is even there? Or my brother is on the computer doing his own thing, my mom is watching a drama on tv, and my dad is reading a book or in the basement playing guitar. No word is said, no eye contact is mad. No offense, but I’d rather just be in my room than to be in the living room with my family when no one is acknowledging each others’ presence.
