i dont know what to do. my parents expect so much from me, but how do i keep it up? my moms actually all right, but my dad just goes crazy. he expects me to get a 4.0 and at the same time, do ALL the chores i should be doing. in india, people believe that daughters need to be trained on how to do chores around the house starting age 10ish. and according to my dad, im almost 15 and i still cant cook all the food, clean the whole house every day, and do laundry, wash dishes, vacuum, organize. i dont have time for that EVERY DAY. its called high school, and he doesnt get it.
i wish he could be in my spot for once and see what it's like, to manage academic, social, and home life. teens have it just as bad as adults. he yelled at me for opening a ketchup bottle the wrong way & not filling up the water bottles on time.
and plus, i just had a dentist appointment today, and i had a loose brackett. but it wasnt my fault, so he spent like 20 minutes arguing with the dentist that it shouldnt count against me. that was fine, but when we got home, he started yelling at me AGAIN, saying i should have argued with her too and stick up for my rights. (cause after your first 3 broken bracketts they start charging, and this was my first one). but because he argued, she let it pass. but still, he expects me to back him up by yelling at another adult?
so i did what every teenager does and i cried my eyes out in my room and when he asked what was wrong, i yelled and told him straight out. well. he said sorry, and i feel bad. its embarrassing and it makes you feel guilty when the people who brought you up have to admit mistakes. i dont know if anyone else feels that way. but well, yeah, he apologized, but i needed to vent off my anger. sorry if you opened this lj cut and found a bunch of boredom and teenage fits.
