what the…. how mean…

i just hate it when my parents…my mom, actually… compares me to my cousins [since i have no siblings, thank God] … she says how NICE they are, how ANGELIC they are and how DIFFERENT they are from me like they’re kids everyone dreams to have… sheesh, like what they even do is what adults really do….

Wow that sounds harsh, but it’ll only make you stronger in the end. Were you the oldest child?

I think I know what you mean too.
But your parents? They treated you that way too?
I get what yo mean. Coz my relatives/family, gawsh, they treat my little cousins as if they’re some breakable stuff. But I don’t really care. That’s better than having all of their eyes on me.
What pisses me off is the times wherein they’d tell me to act like a lady whatnot, but if I want to go out somewhere with my friends, they’d instantly change their mind and tell me that I’m still too young, I’m still a kid and all. Grr. They should make up their mind.

Omg tell me about it! My mom SO favored my oldest brother. He got to go everywhere with her, even shopping for clothes! She wouldn’t even take ME to do that - my Dad did. She took him to hair salons, everything, it was crazy. But my other brothers and I were just nothing to her. And he’s the OLDEST! Not the youngest!

my brothers and sister feel like that about me. my parents were wayyy less strict on me. i’m kind of happy for that though. it’s kind of great being the youngest. my nieces and nephews get away with anything.

I’m sorry your relatives treated you like that. That’s cruel and unfair. Who would tell a 7-year-old to act like an adult? Insanity, really.

I don’t have any younger siblings and I don’t know most of my relatives so I can’t really answer your question. I do sometimes think my friends had it easier growing up.

Chin up, okay? Just focus on what’s best for you. Don’t pay attention to the morons you’re obviously surrounded by.

bleh, i’m really sorry you had to go through that when you were younger. i absolutely hate it when there are adults trying to pressure you to “grow up” or “act your age.” acting our age these days is partying, drinking, and maybe getting abused along the way. i really think it’s great when people can maintain child virtues and characteristics… i really loved being a kid when it meant playing with people because you just wanted to play, not because anyone really cared who you were with.

I hope you feel better soon, exene. It’s tough when people haven’t considered your needs when you were younger. But it’s made you into a strong person & that means you can become self-sufficient in the future. You can go on without them!

Oh wow. That’s really weird. Why would someone want their kids to act grown up at the age of 5? That’s just ridiculous! After all, it’s a reason why you call them your kids.
