| Answers: Why must I feel like I'm the one being treated like a child? Ok, here's the situation: I sometimes feel like my parents view me as the "child" and they let my little sister have more freedom than me. I'm 24 years old and she's going to be 16 years old in a few weeks. I know I shouldn't complain, but I feel like I'm the one who has to be "perfect" and that I'm way too depended on as well in order for my parents to be happy. At the same time though I feel like my energy is being drawn out of me and I feel miserable. I don't party, go to clubs, go to bars, and cause havoc. I'm focused on finishing college and get my real career. I know I'm not perfect at times but at least I have a good head on my shoulders. I want to go back to California this summer again for vacation (I'm willing to pay for myself, and I'm not asking my parents for any money at all) and my mom "apposes " it. She thinks I want money from them in order to go. Which I don't at all, I know my kid sister is going to D.C. in a week and then she's going to Atlanta as well. I'm not the type to ask my parents for money, I feel very guilty doing that. I don't want to have a run of the mill type of summer break, that I always do. My mom tells me I should go to Wisconsin on a "mini vacation". I've been there three times and it's boring to me. I live in the mid-west and once you've seen a corn field, you've pretty much seen them all. I don't care if it's considered to be a "cheap" vacation, it's just bleh, been there done that. If I'm going to go on vacation I don't want to be in the mid-west, thank you very much. It's also embarrassing that I live at home with them still while my other friends are off on their own. Trust me if I had the money I'd be out of the house, but my job doesn't pay squat. I know it's pretty long but I just don't know what to do or say anymore. It's just driving me nuts. If anyone could please give me some good advice that would be wonderful. Tha |
