I am not trying to be a dick but...

Have you ever noticed kids living off thier parents seem to think that the person feeding them, clothing them, supplying internet, electricity, tv, ect for them also should do whatever it is the kid wants? And if they do not then the parents are fucked up ect?

I figure if your 16 and dont like it, get the fuck out and see just how easy they have it. I mean we all know the money fairy brings us paychecks every week or so and food magically appears in our kitchens so hell its easy for them kids to do the same thing.

If your gonna sit there and bitch about your parents but continue to take away what they work hard for then shit your more of a puke then they ever could be.

 

But your parents dediced to have you, it was not your own choice.

 

So by 16 you can decide to not like it there so get the hell out! Why do nothing to change your situation? I guess it is easier to complain and cry about how bad your parents are then it is to make your own way in life.

 

That is typical human, we rather complain than do something about it.
Not just the kids who live with their parents.

 

at 16, I think the idea that a fairy brings you money and food faded over time.

not to mention, it's nature to complain about your parents when you're young. Lots of them suck. Some of them don't.

i'd get the fuck out if iwas actually allowed to, lol.

 

At 16 most courts wont spend much time looking for you other than to check your well being at first to make sure it was not a kidnapping.

Solutions are easy, hell run away enough even at a young age and then you will be placed elsewhere so again there is a solution.

 

check this thread out and look at some of the responses from kids.

yes you should give your children everything and trust them unconditionally while turning a blind eye to them breaking your rules...

 

or you could kill them in their sleep

 

well, hey, I don't actually complain about my parents. I have an amazing family. For real, they love me so fucking much that I feel BAD if I dissapoint them.
so i'm not disagreeing that lotsa 16 yr olds got it easy and still find ways to complain.

Nor do I wana run away. More like graduate and get out of here with my parents knowing and supporting me.

you sound like you either gota 16 yr old pain in the ass or you saw my super sweet 16 tv show.

 

Or he saw this thread

saaaame shit. ungrateful little bastards would get a kick in the ass if they were my kids and i'd get sent to jail, haha.

 

I read the other thread and your reply made me smile from ear-to-ear, Yank.

 

I love my parents. I give them hugs everyday but as Im getting older my perspective is seriously shifting. They are SO liberal and SO openminded, they give me everything and more always. They support me no matter what, feed my friends, counsel my friends if they need it, Supply me with shelter and food when I moved back in last month, I can tell them anything, they are the BEST. Makes me feel seriously guilty for things I did when I ws younger and even now....I couldnt be luckier. I am just feeling alot of love for them right now.

 

well...i kinda bitch about my parents...but i think i'm justified in doing so, at least now. i mean, i know that when i was younger, i was stupid and immature and had a similar view as the one you're talking about. i made a lot of bad decisions, and made things very hard for my mom. she handled the situation extremely poorly, which only made it worse, but i can't deny responsibility for my bad decisions or blame it on my dysfunctional childhood.

now i cant say that i have the maturity of an adult, or that i could do just fine on my own. not by a long shot. so while i'm living in my parent's house (or anyone else's), i need to follow the guidelines they set. but i think sometimes the parent has obligations to fulfill, other than just putting food on the table or a roof over their childs head. they need to give their child a safe environment to live in. children shouldn't have to worry that they will be woken up in the middle of the night, and taken to a relatives house because their mother is in the hospital for a drug overdose. they shouldn't have to fear being beaten. they shouldn't have to fear that their parents will try to have them arrested or committed to a mental institution because they can't stand having them around. they shouldn't have to go through life feeling hated and unwanted by the very people who created them. they shouldn't have to fear that they will be sexually, emotionally, mentally or physically abused in any way, at any time.

so just as children have the obligation to follow the rules of their parents, parents have the obligation to care for their children in every way. if these obligations arent met by one side or the other, the dynamics change. but in the end, the one who is most likely to suffer the ill effects of this is the child.

 

that's what happened to me too....

 

This thread made me laugh. The links to other threads were funny too.

It takes me back to when I was a teenager.

I should have moved out then when I knew all the answers.

 

Would not it make more sense to discuss the mind sets of those parents and not those kids? Those who are parents of such children have generally set themselves up for failure. When you spoil your kid as an infant, then as a baby, toddler, and small child, it only makes sense that the spoiling will be expected to continue just the same despite the fact that the toys get bigger price tags.

I will not lie. I do not allow my kids many 'extras', and it is something I have repeatedly had people attempt to talk down to me about. The fact of the matter is though, those same people complain about having to buy their kids $200 Jordans every 6 months and a brand new $500 console system every year. Fact is that while my kids may appear to be "neglected" because I don't buy them sponge-bob jordans I get complimented everywhere I go about the overall attitude and demeanor of my boys.

Don't blame the monster, blame its maker.

 

living off of another person like that makes me sick... goddamn leeches and parasites. its one thing if your parents offer to help you and stuff, but taking advantage of that and treating them like a personal bank without working for a single thing is ridiculous

 

Again, a child does not establish that precedent. It is taught to them in their first years of living. If your child is spoiled past the age of 3, you are fucked.

 

i was spoilt as a child but i was still taught the value of things, and to not expect all the stuff i got but just to enjoy it while it lasted, and to share with others, etc
i also moved out at 17 and lived on my own for my first year of university, worked 30 hours a week while taking a full courseload and didnt have to run back to mommy and daddy for help beyond the occasional piece of advice.
maybe some kids werent taught the greatest of lessons but by the time they hit 16-18 they are generally old enough to understand the way the world works and they are certainly capable of working on their own or being responsible for a fair bit of their own welfare and well being
