Have to go to Bexhill for the weekend because apparently I'm too young to be left home alone for a night, even with my brother who's bloody 18 this month. My parents treat me like an immature child. I have like no trust. ![]() Anyway, I'll be off tomorrow. Shame, I've been really damn well looking forward to this weekend after all the stress I've had. I have mock exams next week so I'm gonna have no f***ing time to revise.

Oh I know what it feels like, I expect your parents do have your best interests at heart though (I know it's patronising when you feel you are trustworthy and mature enough to fend for yourself but in a way you're lucky. Some parents leave young children alone without a second thought - look at the McGanns ). Your parents obviously care and are just being "responsible". You'll not have to put up with it forever but I recall what an imposition it was when I was that age!Have a nice time, try to enjoy yourself. Maybe it'll prove to be a good stress-reliever and better than you think

Yeah, thanks. I know they mean well but I just feel like I should be given more responsibility and trust.

Maybe you could address them about it over a family meal one day when the atmosphere is calm I think the worst thing we do at that age is protest and kick up a tantrum which merely convinces our parents we are immature ![]() I think if you explain in a mature, composed way why you feel you can be trusted they may just give in. Then you can have an all night rave (what's your address again? ) Just kidding! You never know though, if you talk to them on their level they might well concede

We lost the bid. XD Meh, it was fine. The woman who worked there where chatting to us SO much at breakfast no-one could get a word in... and she completely ruined the atmosphere by getting angry about something.

Sorry but LOL!! I love it when you get on your soap box. You have such a wonderful dry way of telling things as they really are I was reading that and imagining you choking on your soggy cornflakes as you struggled to speak I dislike people like that - they are usually found in flowery aprons and moccasins in your average bed & breakfast dining room, waxing lyrical about poor turnover and serving up desecrated bacon strips that are so thin you wonder if the chef has shed his skin

I think she was wearing an apron and it was in a Bed and Breakfast dining room and she was talking about how this woman who worked with her would steal and she noticed money was disappearing. |
