My stepdad said I was "difficult", is this true?

Question

Although I've now changed my mind on the idea, I once told my parents that I should bring my own car to church that way I would be able to go straight back home (while they went someplace else). This steamed him up to where he started asking me why I was being so difficult & that I was ungrateful all because I wanted to get back home instead of spending more extra time with him & mom. Heck, we all live under the same roof what difference will it make?

I asked him did it really hurt him that I like staying in my room & he said yea. Well, too bad because this is who I am. I get out, then come back home to my room. Just sometimes I don't want to travel all over with my family.

Answer 1

Make Sundays a family day.

Go to church with them, show him how respectful and mature you are by making your Sundays a family day to spend with them.

I bet they will appreciate that more than you know.

Let your maturity and understanding shine through your decisions.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say you're being difficult, how you spend your time is your own business, not his.

He may be calling you difficult because he thinks you're being a bit anti-social towards your family because you stay in your room so much.

Answer 3

Well I to like staying in my room well the fam is off doing what ever they do. So I must say I don't think you were being difficult..but him being your stepdad might of thought that  it was you not wanting to sped time with him. But who really knows .....  

Answer 4

This is very understandable, it i rarely fun to accompany parents anywhere these days it seems.  Parents always go and try to make you feel guilty but i wouldnt worry about it.  from time to time you should go with them just to keep them happy.  but no i wouldnt say you are difficult at all.

Answer 5

i don't really think so but it seems to me that your stepdad really cares about you so i think you should spend some more time with your mum & him
