Aghh...Family Trouble

<p>So it was friday night, right. Me and my parents we to a party. Then while comming back, I was like pretty sleepy-ish, my mom was saying some stuff, and cause she was saying stuff, I told her you could have said this instead, etc. That happened like 4 times. We got home, and then, I was getting ready to go to sleep, and I like hear my parents like talking crap about me, like "oh he doesn't respect us", "he thinks I nothing better than for cooking". </p>

<p>So I was like are you talking about me. They said yes, and I didn't speak, and I slept. They keep saying I'm always pointing them out, like my dads like not fit at all, and he freggin drinks a ton of coke, so I'm like why are you drinking it. I kept asking him to do excercise. He ate like a freggin lot of cookies, and sweets, and I tried to get him to cut down on it so he doesn't have a heart attack. So, atleast 5 times he got really mad. He freakin gets mad easily. </p>

<p>This year, atleast for like 3-4 months he's been so annoying in the house. Like there were 2 days, when I went to sleep just tickeed off. The rest of the months, I just tried to ignore his precense. </p>

<p>So, anyway, he got better, yet I still don't talk to him much. Anyway, ff to today. And basically, the last 3 days I talked minimally. Usually I talk a lot with my mom, but now I totally stopped it. It seems whatever I say ends up ticking someone off, so I decided not to say it. Now, my mom just came up and asked me like why are you pointing us out, when we don't. It's true they don't, but I don't know I'm doing it. So I said, well, I'm not so I don't get anyone else angry, and she went into a rant about how she thinks I feel superior to them. She keeps saying that I need to speak better. I tell her to understand what I mean, and don't just take everything literally. So I would appreciate any advice you have.</p>

<p>It sounds like you are extremely critical of your parents. Give them a little slack. They are human too. They are not perfect. Reading your post it does sound like you believe yourself to be superior. I would work on that if I were you.</p>

<p>don't criticize your parents. you don't have to pay the bills or support a college-bound son, and you're also not 40 years old.
is it ever courteous to criticize someone's weight? no. just because it's your parents doesn't make it somehow OK.
think more carefully about what you say to your parents. you may be right, but remember that they do so much in their lives</p>
