I’m so done with my parents

[plain zinc]

It’s wonderful that my parents enjoy my cooking. I appreciate it, I really do. But I am tired of cooking for them. I am tired of doing stuff that they can get up and do just fine on their own. It is not my job to feed them. But I can’t tell them this because they are stubborn as heck, they won’t let me keep my shooting award in my room, where I want it. That’s another thing. I don’t want my awards on public display in the living room. I want them on my bookshelf, in my room. I don’t want them parading my achievements around for guests and family. I don’t want my “achievements” shown off. Even if I wanted to parade these things around, that’s for me to do. Not my parents. They think everything I own is theirs until I’m 18. What about stuff that was gifted to me from other people? With this logic, all of my “gifts” are technically their gifts. They’re always telling me to grab this for them, take this to the kitchen for them, do their specific laundry, cook for them. They always tell me, “You don’t get to decide where your awards go. I get to.” Like it’s my award bro.

It makes it very difficult for your parents to be stubborn, but there's not much you can do. You live with them and you depend on them, so the only thing you can do is keep insisting that you don't like doing things for them and that they don't have the right to treat your things as if they were theirs. I went through a similar situation a few years ago. When I wanted to set limits on the way my parents treated me, they simply didn't respect it. The way I managed to change that was by insisting on telling them how much I didn't like the way they treated me and didn't respect me. It was very annoying and tiring, but it ended up working over time. I also had a little help from my psychologist, when I told him that I wanted the way they treated me to change, he talked to my parents, who respect him much more than they respect me. So they took it a little more seriously. Unfortunately this is something that takes time and you need to be patient.
sorry i hope this helps you
