I love my dad, we have a fucking great relationship (nothing weird mind you), share most things and we are very close.  The problem with this relationship is my mother (oh god I know another tumblr with a problem with their parents).  Anyway, she just really stresses out my father and myself with certain things she does and says.

I’ll think of an example.  I’ll go to my dad, could I go out this Saturday and he’ll say yeah sure, you’ve done all your studying then he’ll ask where I’m going all that shite.  Ask my mum if I can go out, no.  Then she’ll just go off on a fucking rant, there’s no need for it.  Then she bitches at my dad for not backing her up when he doesn’t agree.  And my dad’s not like one of those people who’ll let me do anything, he will enforce boundaries and things of that nature.

I’m not saying that my mum is a horrible person or anything like that.  She is a lovely person, but just finds it difficult to have an adult conversation, her tone while having ‘discussions’ is always very hostile and she shouts.  Apart from that she is a lovely person great mother all that good stuff.

There’s just no middle ground with her.  Like tonight,  I was playing with a football in my room, stupid at half eleven I know.  But she comes up after 15 minutes and goes mad about the noise and starts saying that I look like a ‘wound up spring’.  All of this is said in a very hostile manner etc, then she says I should go to bed and storms off to bed.  I then go down to my father and explain it, he says that was fucking stupid.  But the difference is that we talk about it, I then start saying about how she’s stressing me out, which leads onto him saying about me doing nothing around the house, and this conversation eventually leads to a ‘middle ground’ where we both see eachother’s point and accept it.

Wow that was boring.
