Entry: Return of the angsty teen Nov 8, 2008




Somehow my relationship with my parents have deteriorated badly.

Ever since i got my licence it's just been bad.
They are back seat drivers.  They make a fuss out of the simplest and stupidest things.  They take driving way too seriously.  I know i'm not such a bad driver that I'd be going around every corner killing people.  What they expect out of me is perfection, which i think is ridiculous! 

And maybe cause i react very negatively to their critic-king, they now get upset with me over things like, not doing the housework on a regular basis, not being there with them when my brother has nights out and going jogging at 10pm.  You know, it just seeps into everything, this animosity.

So this has affected our relationship a great deal.  Somehow i just don't find any joy in talking to them anymore and i rather keep to myself when i'm at home.  This is damn sad la.  Mind you, i'm still doing my ''great'' duty as a daughter, sending, pikcing them up, buying dinner, doing the housework and generally staying at home more cause my mum always says she's alone at home.  But i just feel so uncomfortable around them.  And sometimes, i get irritated with things they do, like not buying me lunch.  Which is trivial, but it just gets on my nerves. 

You know, they love talking about me behind my back.  It's very sad really.  You know, friends backstab each other, but your parents, now that's just sad.  I wouldn't say they backstab me, but they just love talking about what kind of a proud young know it all i am, who has such a bad attitude, that has no respect for her elders.  Sigh.  I'm 25 years old, but if you didn't know that, i prolly sound like a bloody angst-y teen to you.

I seriously don't know how to deal with my parents.  So i've decided to just live like the ghost of the family and hope they don't notice me and leave me alone.  It''s sad really, but wtf, i don't like being angry and argumentative, which i have found myself to be whenever i'm around them.  I just want peace and quiet.  Maybe i need anger management,

if it makes you feel any better, my parents are terrible back seat drivers too. But after driving and riding for years, even I tend to be like that (unless I force myself to stare out the side windows and not look in front). I think its an innate self-preservation thing we all have in us.

Cheer up, like teenage-hood, this could just be a phase. =)
