    The title explains it all. I am having a bad problem with my parents. I work for a living making minimum wage and barely making a 100 dollars a week. I come home to relax because that is all you wanna do after you have work, but you can because your parents making you switch the laundry, do the dishes, vacuum the house, do the trash, clean your room, and what not. What are you suppose to do when the minute you come in the door your parents tell you do get them a bowl or ice cream or get their medication, or bring the dogs in. Uggg why do parents have to be so pushy. Do you really want to stack wood for an hour a day because your parents do you to it, and if you do not do it you get yelled at because it was not done. I do not know what to do anymore.

    Share a flat with some friends, get out of there.

    You'll learn how hard it is running a home, but also be free.

    Well parents are that way, but imagine being them for a day, your life would be so hard you'd wish there was someone to help you around...
    I go to uni from 7am and don't get home till about 5, because I take the bus and where I live there is only one bus to go and it reaches here at 6.30, and only two busses back, one at 4.30 and the other at 5, so there's no way I could go walking home or get there before... at the end I also get home exausted, and my parents ask me to do the dishes, make dinner and look after my little brothers until my mum get's back from her lessons, which is at 9.30... I don't get enough sleep because of that, but hey, that's life... you can't get nowhere expecting do one thing only.
    Besides they are your parents... try asking them to take a day off and do all their chores for them, then see if you have the energy to do anything else... you might say well they're parents, but they are as human as you are.

    The older you get the more you appreciate them, just don't destroy the relationship when you are young cos it makes it harder to repair down the track..

    I use to feel like you did.. till i moved outof the house when i was 16 and moved in with my older brother.. im 18 now and have a family of my own but i regreat not doing what my parents asked and left the house so early.. it messed up our relationship and we are not as close cause i decided i knew better then them when i realy didnt. yea it sucks at times to have to do eveything they ask after working and having to do things you need to do but talk to them and explain what you feel but getting mad over it and not talking to them wont help at all just make things worse.. take advice from what others have said before me too..
    your parents just want whats best and learning how to clean and do stuff around the house after you just got out of work.. thats how life is when your married and have a family.. so get use to it
