hey guys it's about midnight portugal time i need to let somethings out that are bothering me you guys could just ignore the post if you feel it's best... ever notice how parents enter a phase where they are total control freaks? yeah it totally kills me they complain about everything i do whenever i'm not working or studying... what hurts the most is that they have a fear of being abandoned which is so big that they don't notice that they're pulling me away... in the end i know i can't tak to them cause they are always right you know? and that just really picks my nerves... my dad suffered an accident a while back and now the backlash of the accident is starting to really get to him physically so he's feeling powerless and he takes it out on me...
my poor girlfriend has to deal with their fussing everyday too because they feel she's not good enough for me... and she's perfect she's a better person than i have ever been she's been there for me in tough times and times where my parents never cared to notice me and she has always been by my side putting a smile on my face and she gets me... she's probably the only person in the world that does which makes me wonder where is she bad?
well all this to get to the plot and cause of what you guys in the lounge may call "endless nagging" (which i guess it is but to me it's the tip of the iceberg) well it all started with my offer to help out a starting custom shop being their first customer as you may already know... well a while later while the parts were already in the shop my dad gets the rich idea in his mind that i need a new acoustic guitar my mom was getting to where that talk was going (he was going to buy me an acoustic) so next day my mom was practically begging me to call off my order (cause of all the cash being spent) and i'm telling her it's too late the parts are already there and she just says "or you cancel that guitar or i'll forbid you from seeing your girlfriend" and so now comes the conclusion of how a 19 year old (adult age) once more is forced into satisfying his parents whether he likes it or not...
so i talk to the guy from the custom shop and i invent this story to keep him from starting on my strat he doesn't like what he hears and is currently selling all the parts from my strat (this was a once in a lifetime chance the price (300 euros) and the guitar were perfect and the guy said himself that he will never work with me on a guitar again)... and i sacrificed all that to get the acoustic my dad wants me to get but tomorrow i'll still be the bad son and my girlfriend will still not be good enough whats the use?
well sorry if you guys expected something else... just needed to blow this off for me to sleep goodnight y'all

I hope all works out for you. Don't worry to much, these things will work out one way or another and then you will have all new problems. All I can tell you is, you're 19, make good decisions and try to enjoy it. Also, don't worry about things that are out of your control.

I'ts none of my business, but since you mentioned it. I don't think you should get off that easy. Your folks have quite an investment in you, it's called there lives. They care about what becomes of you and as long as you are under there roof they will have the upper hand. you may be 19 but to them your still there little boy. Don't be so critical of them for caring. I don't know your situation/cultural differences from mine but when I was 19 I was out on my own living my own life and making my own decisions. I have two boys one is 41 and the other is 33 I still make an attempt to tell them what's what, and it hurts to have them disregard My wishes. But thats life and as they say "LIFE GOSE ON". So make sound decisions and respect your parents. They love and care about you and only have your best interests at heart. Please forgive me for butting in.
----Danny,

If you're legally an adult, how would your mother prevent you from seeing your girlfriend?

To be honest, I would have picked the guitar. My guitar hasn't broken up with me yet. It just broke from so much strenuous use.

At nineteen you couldn't get me in my moms house.
Sorry Danny, I just see that as emotional blackmail mate. I wouldn't come that with my kids. They never asked me to be born. I've a duty to my kids for having them. To equip my kids with the best possible tools to see them through their lives. Namely some smarts to know how to clean up the trouble they'll cause before anyone notices. And a bit of gumption to see that no one walks all over em. The rest they get off their mom.


Saying that I did just strike dread into the heart of one fourteen year old kid who decided he wanted to know my eldest a little better.
