There! All of your posts when I began typing this are now fixed! Honestly it helps so much if you use proper grammar, you won't sound immature and people will be more likely to listen to you.
Yes, as people have said, it "could" be worse. You could have a childhood where you were abused in mutiple ways....such as my childhood.
BUT honestly, that does not matter. I am not fond of when people utter the "could be worse" line. Everyone has an individual situation, and there is always someone worse off/better/faster/uglier/prettier, comparisons should not matter.
What matters is you. And don't worry, I understand the internet spelling thing. I was on a forum where people were very uptight about absolutely correct grammar, complete with semicolons. People should be free to pour out their heart without worrying about the correct "usage".
I am not sure exactly what your parents do all day, or what exactly they get you to do, but in some cases, by the gist of it, it does sound like they are being a little lazy, and yes people, parents, as well as children, can be lazy.
To me, years ago, I knew exactly what my parents did all day, as I have had days where I went to their work, and have also worked quite a number of years in different professions, including ones in similar fields to my parents. And I can honestly say that, for me at least, even for an A+ student with friends, school WAS harder than working. I enjoyed the jobs I did, but for me, school was an effort, as well as keeping up a certain allotment in the social side of it, and having hormones running through your body, the whole thing adds up to not being able to think things through logically as your brain & your emotions are run amok.
From what I read, your father was out doing the leaves? So they couldn't be that "lazy" could they? I think its more a case of the fact they are bothering you every two seconds about something insubstantial (such as getting them a drink from the fridge when you are in your room across the house, and they are at the dining table near the fridge, or something :tongue.gif: )
From the sounds of your lashing out here, it seems you have been quite a good kid, and done as told for them, but needed somewhere to get it out.
I am not sure how old you are, or when these things happen. Is it possible to have more time out of the house? With friends, or perhaps you have a laptop and can just go to a park nearby? I do understand how frustrating it can be to constantly be interrupted in whatever you are doing for something that seems, less, than what you are currently working on.
It sounds like some groundwork needs to be set on both sides. Perhaps your parents could do up a rota of normal chores that need to be done and what days, and you could put down "quiet time" on that list as a time where you can have some uninterrupted time for yourself.
I think what really needs to be done is having a good talk with your parents, don't get angry, just lay down about what you have done, and HOW it makes you feel, hopefully it will help your parents see that you feel "like a dog fetching"
I'd love to have more time to respond to this thread properly, but I have to go hang out the laundry, do the washing up, call the orthodontist to make an appointment for my son, feed the cats, tidy up the mess the kids left in the kitchen after breakfast and go out to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make dinner later tonight...
Yes, I'm a Parent, and if you were my child, you would be out mowing the lawn right now.
What, would you prefer I mowed the lawn, and you took care of everything else?
Nearly 95% of EVERYTHING that happens in my house my parents use me as there little slave for. Im on one side of my house my parents call me to go get something all the way on the other side of the house when there like 3 inches away from it. They make me do stupid crap all the time that if they did they could have what they want alot quicker. i dont know y parents do like nothing at home. they make me do stuff for them that i have completely no part in whatsoever or stuff that i have nothing to do with? y? i cant stand it my parents are so lazy!
Its not chores! Its just random crap they tell me to do. And Im no overreacting. And stfu people who say that im a fag. I hate how kids are expected to love childhood! I personally cant wait to get a job because I like doing actual jobs. Not just fetching stuff like a dog.
YUREADMYMIND?!?!?! JK. But srsly.
Mostly my dad. My mom does everything.
Deal with it, it builds character. Also, I don't care very much about what your parents might make you do.
I am not entirely sure how being a fetch dog builds character. If anything it degrades you.
Also, I find it slightly amusing when people expect children to pay for their existence in their parents' house because they birthed him/her, fed him/her, clothed him/her, etc etc but what they seem to forget is that it was the parents' decision to birth that child. If you make the decision to have a child, you get the responsibility of taking care of that child until they are eighteen. You cannot make your child do pointless labour to "pay back" everything you have done for them, as you have done all those things by your own choice.
Anyways. You say you like doing jobs that actually achieve something and aren't 100% pointless. Makes sense, I can understand that. Bring it up with your parents. Ask if you can replace all the basic fetch dog activities with a few more involving jobs.
There's a lot of truth in that, mister OP. Also partly true for the perspective of an oldest sibling (which I am) It's a ****ing pain when you come in from uni having worn your eyes out on an interminable critique of Marx and you find plates piled up in a messy kitchen and an overflowing washbasket and your little **** of a brother is sitting there eating ANOTHER SANDWICH.
I prefer not to resort to the "parental mode" of arguing because it's ********. First hand experience via my mum, who is not just a parent but a devout Catholic and a head-teacher, so she's not used to being challenged at all - I'm 20 next year and she still tells me to "stop talking back and do as I say".
It sucks being the oldest.
On topic: Only a small fraction of your life is spent with your parents so just deal with it.

You realise your parents have worked all their lives so you can actually have a house? There are children younger than you in some parts of the world who have no home, and spend their entire day scraping up all the little food they can find and trying to look after their family because their parents are dead because of the constant threat of disease which means that they themselves are unlikely to live past the age of 30.
And you're not a slave, because in return for the chores you do around the house (which by the way, everyone does as a child), they give you food, shelter, clothes, an education and any number of other things many children will never have access to. You don't have it hard.

Your parents sound awful. They probably don't even let you have desert before supper.
Suddenly, I want a desert.

How do you expect people to NOT call you a dochebag?
I think the word you are looking for is troll, if he hasn't gotten the hint now, he obviously wants the reaction.
