Are My Parents Wrong?
7 Answers
I was just chilling on my bed and my mom called me. One thing you should know is that I am VERY lazy. But I took the time out of my day to go to her and asked what was wrong. She asks me a question and before I can even answer, my dad interrupts and answers for me. I was extremely angry! I walked from my bedroom to the living room just for my dad to answer the question for me?! I tell him "You know she was talking to me right?" (With NO attitude) He pauses for a second, then says, "You know I hit harder than your mom right?" Basically telling me, his daughter, that he would hit me just for me correct him! Can you believe that!? I am currently not speaking to him at the moment, but my mom is acting as if I am in the wrong for what HE said! What do you think? Should I apologize to my dad? Or should he apologize to me?

I'm guessing you're American and in your (very) early teens.
This is a time of life where young folk break away from their parents' ideals and interests and start to explore their own interests and ideals. Many parents find this very difficult to swallow and take the whole "Help! I've got a teenager!" attitude and make you feel as if anything you are interested in (eg. Hiphop, Grunge, Metal, fashion) is at least irritating and at worst annoying. In my opinion though, that works both ways: I bet you're less than interested in any of their ***? Try and force an interest in their stuff, then maybe they'll try and grow with your interests.
Also, it's a time where ideals and rules get questioned and I think this is where you're getting unstuck. In the UK the system is a little less authoritarian, generally speaking and most parents are willing to discuss, but in the US, from my observation of going there, there is much more of a "My house my rules ....NO TALKING BACK!" rigid attitude.
From what you've said, they're just having the usual trouble dealing with the fact that their daughter is no longer a little bitty *** coo infant. Just go along with their rules, even if you think they are unfair, it won't be like this for long.
