Parental Pet Peeve -
May 6th 2020, 03:09 AM
So this isn’t a big deal but it is very annoying and any suggestions on how to navigate this issue would be greatly appreciated.
So my parents will do this thing where one of them will give me a choice and then be angry when I say no. For example my mom would say “hey, do you want to go for a walk with me?” And I’ll say no, because I have a project I’m doing or something, and then she’d say something like “oh come on. It would be real nice to hear a yes sometimes. You always say no. It would be so refreshing.” Which is not true! I do say yes to my parents a lot, and when they ask me to do chores I always say yes. It feels like they don’t understand that they are giving me a choice, and whenever I bring it up they say “oh sorry” and continue to do it.
