Crazy Ass Parents

Well the past 24 hours have been dramatic :S for me anyways :P.....Well, first of all, I didn't do all the tings I said I would do on my last post like go to the gym....I'm such a procrastinator everyone..I can't help It...It's like It's embedded In me and I can't shake "the procrastinator in me" off!! I really want to get rid of the habit but can't help it....

NOW on to the main bit...
Yesterday my friend whom I shall call Miss FM knocked on my door to go to town at around 8pm and because I was bored I said yea but she should come bk in bout 15 Min's so I could get ready. So there I was, getting ready and my father was speaking in Yoruba "U got bad friends you never read your Bible or study" and all that. I was like "HM ok whatever dude" and then my mum got involved and all this saying "Look at the time...If You step out that door, don't come back inside this house" I was like "Wdf? Kmt" then walked out and went out with my friend, met wit another friend, hung around, having fun and joking around....

3 hours later...
When I came home, the door was locked and I couldn't get in...It was dark and was very cold and I was only wearing a tank top and jeans...I didn't want to go to my friend's house because of embarrassment and I didn't want to bother her and i didn't have any money to go to a hotel so I decided to tough it out...my sis was trying to open the door for me but my dad was threatening her and stuff so instead she tried to throw a coat down to me but she couldn't open the window (bless her!). So there I was...outside...freezing my ass off...shaking from the cold. After about 2 and a half hours, i was shaking bad and was REALLY cold and started to panic so went over to the phone box and called 999 and exaggerated about my shaking. Well, to cut a long story short, the ambulance came, asked me some questions, felt sorry for me, called the police, police came, took me in their car, drove me home, talked to my dad, i went in the house and went STRAIGHT to bed.

Then 2day... I went to school, did my statistics exam. When I got home, my mum was STILL going on about yesterday. Kmt, she was saying i should pack my bags blah blah and she was calling me a liar because of something i said (can't remember) and then she got the BELT and hit me!! Gave me a scar on my arm and hip. Grrrr, I'm sure that's illegal...They're extremely annoying.
Aaa my parents are way too strict man...i think they need to realise I'm nearly 18 gosh. I don't no what to do....I need your advice and views...Wat should i do? Do you think they have the right to act that way?

Wait it off till u r 18, hon! And you know mom and dad wouldn't want you hurt, so I can understand where they are coming from 'cos same applies to my folkies here.

So don't fret over it, you are still their pride and they wouldn't want any hurt come to u. When u r up to the age of responsibility, then you can be sure they wouldn't have to fuss about you...

Btw, see if this pic gives u a hint it's me (Josh, Ketu, Lagos) Shhhhh, no more telling! :)

Hmmmm, my parents used to be strict with me too but the way I got out of the house was simple. Do as much chores in the house as possible, infact, don't wait untill you are asked, just do stuff so when you decide to go out, they ll be more understanding......but untill you are 18, there's nothing much you can do. Try and get on their good side(even if its a pain), you'll see things will turn around.

Parents always know best. But lets face it, their pride is wounded. They told you it was late and asked you not to go out and you still disobeyed them. Until you're 18 when you can fly the nest its best to try and stay on thier good side 364 days of the year at least. (smile)

I would rather have strict parents than apathetic ones, but your parents are unreasonably strict, borderline abusive in this instance, I would say. Parents should never, I repeat never, jeopardize the health and safety of their children, no matter what they have done or their age. Not only did they put you at risk, but what kind of example have they set for you when you have your own children.

This may not seem reasonable, but you could try to sit them down and maturely speak to them. Keep your head about you even if they lose theirs and try to explain to them that you are responsible young adult and that they need to treat you as such. That just might impress them enough to lengthen, even if only by a little, the short leash they have on you.

Good luck.
