Hm.
To the teens and kids on this forum.
I just want to say something. It's kind of obvious, but not really. In the everyday that becomes a haze of familiar interactions inside a family so you kind of don't really think about it but...
Your parents not just your parents, they are people. They have their own feelings and their own history and experiences you may or may not know about.
I'm just learning and my thoughts drifted to these thoughts again.
Personal paragraph. About how my father has been somewhat easier to irritate lately. He studied at an university for very long, his progress was delayed since he got kids. Once he finally was able to finish his studies he had to move into another country, away from the country he loved, and then his eyesight started getting really bad so he couldn't even get a job although he studied so much. (He just got the approvement for "early retirement" after fighting for it for three or so years.) In the too familiar haze that is the family you kind of grow too blind to realize that when the status quo feels granted. *
Now that I have lived away from my family (in another country) for about a year I have gained enough distance to look at my parents more objectively. Well I lived away one year before in the same country too but that doesn't matter.
I just want to say, whether you have any problems or not at home - it doesn't matter - just sometimes... or this time... in your mind, try to distance yourself from the situation and look at it more objectively. Maybe you realize something interesting.
That actually applies to pretty much everything in life.
