Sometimes I just wish my mom would just shut up and leave me be she is so freaking annoying on Sundays when I ‘m just trying to catch a break. I just got back from a choir tour, wanted to relax and play some league of legends and now she bugging me on how I have to go out and do something. Are you kidding me? I just spend an entire March break on the road when I could’ve chosen to stay and just do homework and MAYBE play some stuff when my parents aren’t home. Do I need to lose weight? Absolutely! But should I have to put up with a constant badgering that only makes me resent one of the only people I really care about? NO! But she just keeps on nagging me, and it seems incredibly endless! Whenever I want to relax she’s just there and it’s nonstop. I think that she just can’t seem to notice that she’s slowly loosing me because I ask for some space and alone time, and can’t seem to find it. Want to know why I wake up at four or five in the morning? Because those are the only hour when she’s too exhausted to bother me. Want to know why I played on my Gameboy and DS when I was in bed supposed to sleep? Because all other hours of the day if I tried she would just go after me non-stop. I believe a child of God is obligated to obey their parents, but I just wish she could just understand what I like and don’t like. I believe that Jesus is coming again, but while I’m here I have my own stress relievers. I don’t take drugs for crying out loud. I like books, music, and video-games. And one and a half of those things she can put up with. She still just thinks that what me and my brothers call a favorite pastime is just a passing thing and it may leave. Well guess what? If that were true, let it die out on its own. We don’t need her to make us miserable doing something that we enjoy. I don’t walk in and break her life by ruining what she enjoys to do. And I know it comes down to respecting your parents, but at thing point, discouragement only brings in rebellion. She needs to realize that she just has to let things go. There is no point in beating a dead horse. She bought that Gameboy advance and regrets it because it was just a starting point. I played Mario Party 2 at sick kids when I had cancer. And there especially, was it a great stress reliever. It’s a habit that I don’t mind having while I like this short life that has been so graciously given to me. So I’d just like to enjoy it for what time I have left. I know it won’t last forever. Nothing ever does (aside from God’s word). I just think my mom, despite saying that we shouldn’t criticize how she parents us, is really missing out on getting advice. I think she’s done a great job. But the sooner she sees that she only is driving us away, the sooner we all stay happy. And hey, if she knows it won’t last forever, then why doesn’t she just let go and let us play? It’s only a small period of time compared to eternity, and if she trust’s us enough, I can only hope that she finds some shred respect for her own sons’ intelligence to know when to quit.
