I can’t stand my parents anymore .
My dad always makes fun of me and never takes me so seriously , whenever I tell him I want to do something like he just makes fun of me and doesn’t even know what he’s talking about , for example I once told him “i love football and I think I’m good at it but sadly the football team in our college is full” and he just laughed and made fun of me saying that I’m a girl and that I know nothing about football because I’m a girl and he didn’t even encourage me or said anything that could help . I hate my mom because she’s always expecting me to be an elegant girl with good behavior and whatever . When I told her I want to study in Egypt because I want or study at college and go to a karate club at the same time because I like doing karate she said no I won’t let you because you can’t travel alone and she won’t let me because it’s dangerous and all , and every time I tell my mom or dad or one of my brothers , they just start laughing at me and they don’t know how much it means to me .At that point I felt like all of my dreams were crushed and stepped on , I felt like I don’t even have an opinion on what I want to do in my life anymore , I feel like I’m just a car and my mom is the driver , and like what if I wanted to do something and it wouldn’t be 100% successful , I mean I wanna choose my path I want to be able to choose my path even if it’s shitty , I wanna learn from what I do , but how can I when I have annoying super protective mom and annoying careless dad that doesn’t even know my age .Honestly I just feel like I’m in a cage with two annoying people and I don’t know to who I can talk to .i told my mom that I want to get my drivers license , she said no you won’t be able to drive well and made fun of me just because I want to drive to be able to do necessary things whenever I need to go somewhere , I spent like a whole day just trying to convince her that I need a driving license and I need driving trainer , they were just lazy they would just lay around and wouldn’t take me seriously , I then convinced her and she said that she would train me and I told her “do you promise that you will train me and that you won’t say things like “oh not now” “not now I’m talking to your aunty” or stuff like that” she said yes I promise , and when the day came I told her ok mom lets go and train , then she said go to your dad he will train you , and then I was so damn shocked like I wanted to just kill myself and I told her what about what you said yesterday , all of that was just false …??? So I went to my dad and he was like no I won’t train you I’m scared that you will hit something and it’s dark outside . I’m just 18 yrs old and I don’t know why I have to do something I don’t like . I feel like I don’t have any control over my life because of my parents …
Methinks someone has too much time on their hands.
So what are your college plans? There are great study abroad options and maybe you will be able to go to Egypt. I agree that you shouldn’t learn to drive for the first time in the dark. In daylight, in an empty parking lot would be good.
I have to admit that anything people say about being a girl or all of those gender specific expectations drive me crazy so I can completely understand your frustration with that.
Don’t spend your life angry at people though, turn that energy to do what you want and to do it well, to prove to them or yourself or whoever you want that you are your own person and you can do it. Family can be frustrating at times, but you just have to grow resiliant and realise that despite whatever they may do and say they are your family.
Don’t waste time or energy hating when you have so much life to experience. Some people don’t dream big so please don’t be mad at them for what they can’t even imagine. Are you in college or going in the fall? Do you have older cousins who could help you learn to drive in the day time in an parking lot.
