How can I explain to my parents how i'm feeling?

Question

Okay so, My aunt and uncle live about an hour away from my house. Then constantly continue coming to sleep over nearly every week for about 4 days. It's driving me crazy. when then come over, they never give me time to myself, constantly pestering me. Every time i'm online talking to my friends, my uncle come near me and trys to read what i'm writing, then asks me to look up sport for him. he asks this like 5 times a day! Ive told my parents about this, but they just say "Oh, stop being dramatic, they're great company!". I never get any privacy though! Also, when they come over, my aunt sleeps in my bedroom, so i have to sleep on the floor. I'm nearly 15 btw.

Anyone know how i can explain this to my 'rents?

Thanks to all that answer.

Answer 1

You deserve your privacy.  If you need to, go to the bathroom.  But try to explain to them I want my privacy or I want to enjoy my privacy.  Something like that.  Everyone needs their own personal space every now and then.

Answer 2

write a letter to them of what u just wrote

Answer 3

Now I miss my aunt and cousin. They were over at my grandparent's house almost every day, and it was fun.

Answer 4

Sometimes adults simply forget what it was like to be a teen.  Ask your parents to remember how important their privacy was to them when they were a teen.  No matter what their life was like when they were a teen (having to walk to school in the snow etc lol) I am beyond certain that their privacy EXTREMELY important to them as it is with all teens.  So, let them know that it may not seem important to them but it is to you at this age and that you would like for them to respect it.  I am sure there are things they expect from you or expect you to do now that you are 15 (extra chores, make responsible decisions etc) so there are also things you expect from them now that you are 15 such as extra privacy.  Remind them of that! Tell them sleeping of the floor is really affecting your sleep and you are starting to fall asleep in class and having trouble concentrating at school (if you are not already, it will happen eventually).  Let them know your sleep is important to your studies. Also, be helpful, ask if you can help move the couch so your aunt can sleep on the floor in the living room or if there is anything you can do to help them help you have more privacy when they are over.  On the bright side, family usually can't stand to spend that much time together on a consistent basis forever so this whole 4 days at a time every week thing will eventually burn out.  Good luck!
