Unsupportive Parents

Every kid is born into this world into the arms of people that are supposed to love them and care for them for the next 18 years of their life. In those years they will clothe and feed them and provide them shelter. On top of all this they are also obligated to turn us into our own persons.. therefore discovering what we like what we dislike and what were good at. Some of these things don't correspond with what our parents want however parents are supposed to support us anyway and make it a point to help us succeed. That's what a good parent would do anyway. However some parents weren't brought up to have kids... some were meant to live alone.. and should live alone by means of social deficiency but have somehow in a mixup of some sort ended up with a family. These people don't know how to make sacrifices... they don't know how to love their kids.. and they certainly don't know how to help them achieve anything in the world.. except for when they feel like it. When parents become selfish it's the kid that has to take charge... make the sacrifices. What's worse than a parent like this.. is one that doesn't appreciate your talents. A parent who isn't proud of you for what you can accomplish.. but detests you for accomplishing something that they don't prefer. It's a horrible thing when parents don't appreciate your talents. If kids were supposed to be good at everything the parents like and want everything that their parents wanted then WHY DO THEY GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF HAVING US? If they want a mini me of themselves.. why don't they go to a lab and make a freaking CLONE! That's what they want... someone who wants someone exactly like them who wants everything exactly when they want it.. and to do everything they want to do and think exactly how they think. Parents think that because they had you that everything they say is right and everything you say is wrong. They sit there scolding u for being "inconsiderate" but they go behind and do THE EXACT SAME THING!!!! However when you alert them of this hypocrisy what do they say? Do they say "thank you so much for making me aware that I'm doing something wrong, in the future I will try and do better" do they admit to being HUMAN and that they can make mistakes? NO!!!! They take stuff away because they don't want you to ever think they are anything but F***ING PERFECT!!! So where as you can be yelled at and upbraided for playing the piano when GOD FORBID your dad is listening to his corny 70s music that NOBODY listens too because it's more than 3 decades old. That same father can argue that he doesn't have to come to your play because "your part is big enough for you to want to perform... but not big enough to come see." Yeah that's right folks.. there are quotations around that statement. So the next time your parent tells you that you've done something wrong, before saying your sorry... think about some of the things THEY need to apologize for... because after all the trouble they go through to make sure you think they're God... they're still human.
