My Parents Really Need to Back Off!!

I’d like to point out first of all that I’m 19 and I’m in Grade 12b

I have this Hamlet essay due really soon, I really am working on it, but I suffer with Asperger’s Syndrome, and A.D.D. and sometimes I just find it slightly hard to concentrate and write down what is needed.

But my mother is always pestering me every Freaking minute, “Have you gotten any further?” then I say not really, “Get it Done! Stop going on YouTube or something”

I’ll admit I was on YouTube at the time, but only for a quick second. Anyway, My point is, she treats me like a child!! She parents me way too much, I mean it’s normal to be a little aggressive with parenting and get the best out of your child. But This is Too Much!!

I’m 19, all I want is a little individuality!! Just because I have 2 disorders, doesn’t mean I’m a complete Idiot! and I have to be on some kind of 24/7 watch! I’m a f*ing adult! Learn to treat me a bit more like one for God’s Sake!!

Answer #1

Maybe she does it because your ADD and you like to zone off doing different things so she keeps reminding you. Plus its her job to keep you focused on school for a good future ahead it is your last year but its the ending of being young and dumb and on to the real world.

Answer #2

Try talking to your mom. Tell her if you need any help, you’ll yell for her.

Answer #3

tell them to back off,and that you feel that they are buggin too much.

Answer #4

In all honesty, you don’t HAVE to listen to them.

But not listening would entail you going and getting your own place.

Answer #5

I can imagine that it’s frustrating, but I dont think your parents believe you’re dumb. It just feels like that because they’re overprotective and they may feel the need to parent you more because of your disorders. Try and remind yourself they are simply trying to help. Yelling at them or throwing a temper tantrum isnt going to get you anywhere. You want to be treated like an adult, you need to act like one. Start doing what needs to be done before they tell you to do it… Also it may help to remind them that you have always finished your work on time (if you havent, and they needed to nag, well again, this is something you need to change), and remind them that you’re the one that has to deal with the consequences if you dont finish the work…

Answer #6

I no this sounds lame but parents no best…just finish the essay other advice just tune them out…whenevr she opens her mouth just start staring at an inanimate object…concentrate on the colour, on the shape, talk to yourself in your mind about it…soon you’ll be so enamored with that conversation you don’t even realize she’s talking…I DO IT ALL THE TIME make sure to nod your head like you’r listening and choose an object just behind her head…or you could think about a movie or what you’re gonna do later… WARNING: you might end up saying yes to something you don’t want to do…without realizing it…
