Relatable Thoughts and Rants

Growing Up With Conservative Parents

So, a lot of you out there probably grew up or have conservative parents. It sucks. A lot. Always having to live up to their standards or not being able to be yourself by the hints you wear. Or when you have to hang out with a friend, you have to tell your parents their name, address, parents names, where they work, what school they go to, how you met them, and so on and so forth. And having to do chores, that's normal. But having to do them EXACTLY how your parents want them done is so so so so so so so hard. Because even if they explain detail by detail and you do exactly that, they still won't be happy with it most likely. And then you get yelled at for like, two hours straight about random things that you have no clue what they are talking about. And then at the end your mom ends up crying and you may feel guilty, but you don't know why. Oh, and lets not forget that parents will then say they have no clue who you are anymore and that makes them cry. I actually have an answer to that one. When you are born, they have have a specific mind set o what you will be like when you are older. And when you aren't exactly like that, they feel like they have no clue who you are anymore even though they have seen you grow up into the person you are now. But wait, there's more. Don't forget about school and grades. If you "slack" on grades, you best best be careful what you do. Because even getting one C or anything like that, parents are all over that. They think its because you're slacking or its because of one of your friends being a bad influence or some other stupid reason. When in reality, its because that class or lesson was just hard for you.
