I like to be around my friends' parents more than my own :/?

Question

i do love my parents but it seems like now, more than ever, they have been getting on my last nerves. i'm a junior in high school so i understand that they want me to do well in school/ sports/ music but they are constantly nagging me, putting pressure on me, creating stress etc...

but on the other hand, i am so close with the parents of my best friends and i'm jealous that they are so carefree, they laugh, and are crazy but then responsible and loving as well.

i don't really know what my question is. i guess i just want to know if anyone is going through this?

Answer 1

Sometimes i get this feeling too. It just seems like theyre more carefree because they don't really have the right to scold and control us. That's the difference, they don't necessarily care about us as much as our own parents do, they care more about their own child, which makes sense. Yea i love my parents and would rather be with them but i think everyone could feel that way once in awhile. Just remember your parents love you. (:

Answer 2

Yeah me too, I love my parents but sometimes they get on my last nerve and my friends parents are so cool, but they say my parents are cooler they are sometimes but yeah..

Answer 3

I felt like that a lot as a teen & used to talk to one of my friend's mother because she listened to me better than my mother could & I could talk my easily to her because she WASN'T my mother.

My parents used to "tease" me by saying " You got a 98? What happened to the other 2 points?!?"  Needless to say I didn't take it as a joke.

Other people's parents are "always" better than our own at your time in life.

Good luck
