Do you feel sometimes that you don't want to listen at all?

Dude sometimes we felt parents are controlling us. I have a moderate opinion for this. If we see the parents point of view, it seems they are doing good because no parents wants in this world to harm their child. But if we see our point of view, we will recognize them wrong. So being controlled some time by parents is not bad all, but Controlled by every time might be bad.

I think, before planning to leave her parents aside and be more independent SHE should be SURE that she can leave ALONE specially if she is sick and tired of listening to her parents. BUT you what on the contrary, she is lucky that her parents are so attached to her, but of course maybe she less saw that because she has it and she will realized the importance of her parents if she will start to leave on her own. YEAH, It's totally being dependent but you should be responsible enough to take all the responsibility. =)

Well, i think at her age, she should have a job and starts building plans for the future. Parents have to realize that sooner or later that their child would have a family of her own and should simply try to encourage her on standing up on her own and not holding her back just to stay at home and be a bum.

It is not bad to feel such way it is a natural reaction to things though. Sometimes we feel and say enough is enough isn't it but perhaps these things happen for some reasons or maybe it just meant to happen right.But obviously with this kind of situation i can see that the parents are the ones meddling and controlling the whole scenario.It is a quality of a parent to be kind of overprotective to their children but it depends on what reason that drives them to do so but it doesn't mean that they are restricting their children to do things and to have a control with their lives maybe there is a communication gap that is outraging how about if both parties would indulge in that so called counselling wherein they can talk , hear each other concerns, guilt and everything that has to do with their issues in order to mend things who knows it can help.

Yeah. I do feel that sometimes. I once had this friend who kept on complaining about anything in the world, may it be her family, her business, her other friends. Sometimes it tires me out listening to all her rants. It makes me acquire all her negativity.

I consider myself a pretty good listener and I'm really interested in others' stories and feelings. But occasionally I have my bad days when I don't want to hear anybody talking about their problems, because I'm tired or just too depressed, and I don't wanna be brought down anymore... but that's really rare.

This sounds exactly like what I went through with my ex-best friend!! I had to leave the friendship once and for all (about 15 years ago) because she was driving me nuts. She was in her mid 20's and she was still playing the victim about everything. She had tons to complain about, yet she was never productive about resolving issues - no matter how anyone tried to help her. So was it any wonder things were not going her way??? Yes, her parents were controlling, but she was in her mid 20's . . . she wanted to do her own things, but she never stood up for herself to do anything about it. She wanted to be independent, but did nothing to make herself independent - her parents paid for everything - you know what I mean? Even the small stuff . . . one night we were supposed to go out . . . but her parents wouldn't let her go because it was raining. Were they serious and was she going to listen? Of course she listened. Sigh. But that's not the only thing. I didn't want to listen about the many men she was sleeping with and how they were so bad to her. I didn't want to hear about her pregnancy and how she had to give it up because of her "parents" . . . and after all that she got pregnant again (with a 17 year old). And I didn't want to listen to how she saw on Oprah that people were often misdiagnosed with their ailments (she had some STD's . . . geez, guess why) - so she was in denial about her health. And the list goes on. I could NOT listen to that any more. Anyway, at this age, she is not a child anymore - she has choices. No matter what she says, it IS her choice. She can choose to listen to her parents - or not - but she has to realize it THAT is her choice and cannot blame her parents. My dad used to tell us he had more respect for us if we stood up for what we believed in - even if he were against it, rather than being a robot to do what he told us to do. He says one day if we were to regret not doing something in our life just because "he" told us not to do it, well, that was our choice - not his.

In me, it is different because sometimes I get tired when my parents give me so much responsibility.:) But with her, she is craving for independence and I think her parents should give it to her. Because parents wont be around until you die. People needs to stand on their own feet to learn. But if she is living with her parents all her life, I also think she should think a hundred times before living separately from her parents. It is not easy to live alone. I do hope that her issue with her parents gets resolved.
