Do your parents annoy you at all?

Post Reply New Topic

I might sound selfish even writing this, because my mother is truly the most loving person I know, but God ******* damn, the single most annoying entity in existence. Her stupid, stupid attempts at humor, her personality, her endless smothering which I clearly hate, her tendency to bust up laughing at things when I'm trying to be serious, her idiotic advice when I was a teenager, her lack of common knowledge, her monotonous tendencies, I just... I don't care how bad I get flamed, and I know there are far worse parents, but sometimes I just wanna slap her.

Is that you C? Why aren't you at school? And where's my hairdryer?

LOL WTF

My mother drives me mad sometimes. As it is now, my parents live nearly four hours away from me, so nowadays when she gets to making me batty, it is on the telephone, and I can simply hang up on her, and what is she going to do about it? Their moving away was the best thing that happened to my relationship with that woman. She can be rather difficult. I know I can as well, but my mother really is overbearing, and she had a brain tumor removed a few years back and her brain chemistry is still off, so... yeah... it takes more patience than I have most days to put up with her for more than ten minutes at a time. If she is not randomly topic jumping, she is preaching to me, telling me I need medication to 'fix my autism', telling me how I am not what I am supposed to be, or nagging me about how one of her brothers is strung out and bugging her for money before she yells at me for talking to people who stress me out. You cannot tell her anything as she does not listen or retain information due to her surgery. I try to be patient, but damn... The thing is, I really think she means well. I think she loves me and just wants me to be happy and in her own way, she is just trying to have some kind of relationship with me as she never had one with her own mother. She just does not know how to go about it and neither do I.

Annoying?
YES!

My mother: Frigid as ice when I was a kid but emotionally needy in recent years. Insincere about anything serious but overly sincere over silly BS. Pretends to have absolutely no memory or very cloudy memories of certain scenarios when I was a kid (selective amnesia).
Clueless about how the way the real world works. Most of her knowledge (if you can call it knowledge) comes from talk shows, the news, articles in women's magazines written by morons, or her scatterbrain friends.

It's probably just as well that's she's too incompetent with her computer to do much more than e-mail and to look at pictures because then her mind would be too f#cked up and polluted for her to remain outside of the nut house.
She cannot separate the wheat form the chaff when it comes to information.
Sometimes I think a rifle-butt delivered sharply upside the head is what she needs to rattle her brain box into some kind of useful order.

My dad: Didn't like to even speak to me when I was a kid unless to yell at, b***h me out, or criticize me but not won't stop talking to me now when we're together or on the phone. This change was sudden and without any rationale that I can see. The topics are always boring, repetitive, and one-sided.
He's financially irresponsible, delusional, openly obsesses over things I'd have the good judgment to keep to myself, holds petty grudges for a lifetime on his siblings or anyone else, principals that can vary widely from month to month (or week to week, hour to hour,...etc) and change direction with no repeatable pattern or rationale that I can see.

You'd think that people would wisen and stabilize with age.
I know I have but those two (divorced) only become nuttier with each passing year!

I'm note going to `flame` you.... but my mother is alot worse... she screams the house down about every tiny thing (literally... if a dish cloth is out of place) she believes she is better than everyone else... she's a complicate snob.... and talks to everyone like they're idiots.... I don't know why my dad hasn't divorced her... though if he did I would try to live with him.... the other infuriating thing about her is that she won;t let me do anything..... I HAVE TO WEAR A F@£$%&G FLUERECANT JACKET AT NIGHT FOR F@%KS SAKE!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

They did, when I was a teenager. I've prayed and forgave them and I'm not so annoyed, anymore.

YES, YES, they annoy the hell out of me, they are masters at driving me crazy I must admit though, I do what I can to drive them just as crazy Alot of the time, my dad will do things that he knows annoy me just because it annoys me, but I get him back, most of the time without him even knowing (like the time I used his mustache trimming scissors to clip my toe nails)

Whenever I'm on my laptop, my parents always come into the room. Even when I least expect it.

Yeah, my dad has a habit of not shutting the $#@ up. He's constantly got verbal diarrhea and looking for someone to s**t on. The worst part is that when I try to finish one of his slow-motion rambling sentences for him, he'll ignore me and say it the way he wanted to say it, even though I knew exactly what he was trying to say.

He can't just say "yeah" and allow the conversation to progress most of the time. As a matter of fact, I could probably count the actual conversations we've had on my fingers*- he just talks and expects you to listen. If you try to say anything in return you're "interrupting" him. Yes, my father annoys the living bejeezus out of me.

The guy's in love with the sound of his own voice and though I try to listen, it's like watching C-SPAN on antipsychotics. Unfortunately, I seem to have inherited his style of speaking in a continuous, never-ending run-on sentence.

He's my dad though, and I love him- despite the fact that he is undeniably Aspergian and completely ignorant and oblivious of this fact.

*This may or may not be slightly hyperbolic.

No, they're dead.

My mum has annoying habits just like everyone. Sometimes they're so annoying that I just can't help but laugh. I try not to let it get to me because if I let everyones annoying habits annoy me all the time I'd be a very angry person.

My Mum is Calvin and I am Hobbes. She comes out with something crazy and random and I have to explain reality to her. It happens again and again. It can get quite tiring.
When she's a bit hyper she goes into what we call "Donkey Mode," (like Donkey from Shrek) If she does that I can say, "You're being Donkey," and she laughs and says, "Oh, I didn't realise," and that calms her down, it's a good thing she thinks Donkey is cute and doesn't take it as an insult.

My Dad is very quiet and patient (he has to be he lives with my Mum) but he always thinks that his opinion is right. He gets a bee in his bonnet about it and can't let something go. Thee are just some things I don't talk about with him. He was moaning one day that his comments on a certain subject kept getting removed from a forum. I had to explain how far out his comments were. He had no concept of why what he said was offensive. (I keep wondering if I'm going to run into him here and wish I had chosen a differnt user name.)

I'm sure both of my parents are autistic in their own different ways. Even though some of my ideas are slightly off the wall, I do seem to have a better grasp of reality than them and I feel like I have become the adult and they are the children. I'm like Malcolm from Malocolm in the Middle.

Feels good to get that out!

parents annoying - YES

But I think that they find me far far more annoying.

My Father's annoying habit is his unending concern about prices, bills, and financial stuff. It has gotten rather old.

I have seen other parents that just make me want to smack them.

1: Parents who verbaly send negative ideas into their child's head four hours, sigh, and roll their eyes like the kid gives them such a bad day, then wander why other parents don't give them sympathy.

2: Parents that tell their kids "You can pick what you want." Then when the child orders or chooses they say "No no, you want that, not this."

3: Parents that make too many jokes at the kid's expence, are annoying to

my dad will do jokes the entire time even during serious conversations and he sing talks everything
