ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

All I want is some privacy

 
I don’t know why, but I’ve felt like I need to back-talk my dad because he has so many rules—and most of them don’t make sense. All I want lately is to be alone, but I never get any privacy.
 
Dear Going Crazy,
Your parents make rules because they love you. Feeling frustrated about it can be extra common during the holidays when parents and kids feel stressed over test-taking, present-buying and family reunions. Nevertheless, nix the back-talk. It backfires anyhow, right? Every so often, when your dad is shouting the same old rules, say, "I see your point," or, "Got it." If you act less annoyed, he might be less strict. A heart-to-heart might also help. Tell him how you feel without being sarcastic. Toss in phrases like, "I realize you worry about me because you care." Deep down, dads want to protect their daughters—not drive them crazy.

MOD!!!!!!

OK I hope this goes through pretty fast! Well, I was invited to go trick-or-treating with my friend and then sleepover her house and almost ALL of my friends are going too. Well I asked my parents if I could go and they told me no because they don't "know" their parents but thats SUCH a lie! And even if they didnt really know them my friend who I've known since 1st grade has known them since kindergarden and could vouch for their non-dangerousness (lol i made up a word =]). I really dont want to go trick-or-treating by myself!I cant invite anyone to come with me because they all live on the other side of town which is REALLY far away. Thats no fun AT ALL! How can I convince my parents to let me go! Please help!!!!!

my dad is like this too. he gets all mad at me for little stupid things that make me want to scream. sometimes i want to tell him that he is soooooooooooooooooo not perfect and to stop. my parents have stupid rules and make me do all the work around the house and yell at me if I tell me brother to do anything. call me Cinderella!

my parents make me go to bed at 10 or 11 on the weekends but i stay up later than that i say up to 2 in the morning than i get tired and i go to sleep. Also I hate the rules they suck at my house.
