Things she went and buyed me "A jb book" A book for 5 year olds A video game for spelling How do i tell my family that i'm not a dumb a@@'s and that i'm not five any more.I know how to spell.And to not to yell at me when i don't do something right.One more thing what does it mean when your dad and mom says this Mom"So when they don't do somehting right they are my kids.And when they do something right their your kids?" Dad"Well so far they never did something right" What does that mean?
They obviously don't have any faith in you and are treating you like a baby. I can only suggest that you try talking to them in a calm manner and explain the situation.
This is incredibly rude of them, they need to have more faith in you and the only way that is going to happen is if you can prove you don't need the childrens games. You should just come out and tell them that you don't require that sort of stuff and that they shouldn't be so harsh on you as it makes you feel like rubbish (or you can word it better yourself). I can't understand why they are being so patronising but nevertheless I think it's important that they see how they are upsetting you by making it seem like you can't do anything right, since when you do it'll probably go unnoticed. My advice is to make them notice and make them see by proving your worth to them through your talents.
Well, you just need to try. If you seem to be acting "foolish" around them, try to act more grown up, or something. You need to have a talk with them, and make sure they understand that you're ( I believe I recall a post where you mentioned your age ) thirteen - not a baby anymore.
Okay . . . Not sure what being a Gypsy has to do with anything, because if you are, they are too right? Or not. But anyway. Either your parents are some of rudest parents ever or you're giving them reason to be treating you like this. Either way, I suggest you sit down and talk to them about this calmly, show them you can handle a situation with maturity. About that last bit with your mom and dad talking, if they know you heard it, you should stick that in the conversation that you would have about them telling you you're not particularly smart. If they don't know you heard that, then you should really let them know you did. It's not easy facing a parent, and I know you're especially young, so it can be pretty scary, but take it from me, you don't wanna bottle this stuff up because next thing you know your mom's going to have a bruise on her face like mine did.
. . . What Sax said. Bottling up emotions is one of the worst things you can do, unless you're looking to go into a fit of rage. Also like Sax said, are you sure that maybe there is no reason for them acting this way (not saying you did anything but maybe they misinterpreted something) Just bring it up to them and then you might be able to clear the whole mess up. A lot of arguments and hate start with people being confused. Example: That's why in battle it is always good to get your facts straight rather than just rush in and get your a** handed to you. I understand talking to your parents can be tough (I don't even talk to mine anymore I just do my thing, but i'm old enough to do that now) just buckle up and get through it. When the smoke clears there should be more than one victor standing on the battle field. Well hope any of this info or my analogies helped you in the slightest ^_^
Wow! Those parents have issues. But it isn't your fault. Never forget that. As for the above quote, my parents have had a similar exchange of words. But They just get mad and say things they don't mean. You should take it with a grain of salt. But as others have said, just sit down, and have a calm talk with your parents. If they get upset, remain calm, because it'll show you have more maturity than they think you do.
