1. You're 14.
2. You don't:
-Clean your own room even when told.
-Pay for your own stuff, and expect it from your parents.
-Whine about your parents being parents.
-Don't cook your own food (assuming)
No one cares that you're gifted. As a gifted student, I expect an amazing essay with great grammar and spelling. However, that's not what I'm seeing.
Think about where your parents are at. They have to work jobs, take care of children, pay bills. I assure you - their job is much more complicated than your schooling. If you don't think so, wait until you grow up and actually have to survive in the world.
You have a fallback - your parents. They do everything for you. They bring you to and from school (assuming), they put food in your stomach, and on top of that you even have a roof to sleep under.
If you want to have some kind of control of anything, get a job, pay for your phone (assuming you have one), pay to get to and from school, pay for your own food, don't expect your parents to clean up after you, pay rent and act as a renter would.
Within all that, then you may have some word on things that your parents expect from you. Until then, which won't obviously happen. You're just ranting because you don't find it fair that you have to clean the mess that you made in your own room that your parents paid for.
Also, as reference.
I'm 20. I've been living on my own since 17. I have been working since 15. I paid bills since 16.
Also also, if you want to have a discussion with your parents, do so in a very mature manner. 'Hey mom, dad. Can I have a word with you. You're not going to agree with my points, however I wish for you to hear me out. These are just my feelings on things, can anything be done to maybe avoid this, or make it easier?' Don't try to accuse your parents of things, they're doing their job as parents. Ask for a way to possible manipulate certain situations so it's easier to live through.
Wow.
In the post, I did say I know the parents had their problems, and I wasn't really sure on them though, but you put a really good perspective on things. And I thank you for that.
Thank you for your wise words of wisdom. Seriously.
And for the people who think I was ranting:
At the time I was not raging. I seriously thought that i had a legitimate argument. But the person above just finished it. That is how it would play out. So now I am done.
I'm going to look over the replies. Facepalms and head-nods will happen, but in the end, I know what to do because the person above.
