Regardless of how miserable they make your life when you visit them, perhaps they're feeling insulted that you'd rather spend the night outside, 'roughing it', than inside their home.

No sh!t.

Just letting you know since you called it that in your title.

I called it that because that's what her argument was about. Sleeping outside led directly to camping in the argument.

Did your mommy spank you on the butt when you were little, too?

As a matter of fact she did hit me on more than one ocassion. I remember once when I was 7 and I hid a math book from her because I was tired of always getting drilled. When she found out she made me kneel down on my knees before her and she proceeded to slap me silly.

Nice. :beer:

Where'd you go wrong?

Got it, but we didn't have the argument. So how was I supposed to know you were yelling at your mom about camping which came from the fact that you sleep outside her house in a tent?
 
Looks like you're well on the path to being a winner just like your parents. Sleeping outside because you're afraid of dust? What a friggen kook.

Yeah, it's really fvcking lame to call out someone who picks fights with EVERYONE in the family. Her sister can't stand her. Her brother constantly tries to correct her because she makes no fvcking sense. She picks on and berates my dad all the time, even though my dad is responsible for everything that she is, from her being an American citizen to putting her through acupuncture college to buying the house to helping her carry her own cell phone, keys, and ID (which he's been doing for years) because she's too much of a fvcking brat to wear clothes with pockets or carry a purse. This is the man who just wants to live the rest of his life in peace and this bitch of a woman won't allow that because she just HAS to yell and scream and complain about SOMETHING. Divorce this woman and she'd have to go live with her family because she's never filed her own taxes, never checked out at a grocery store, never learned how to use a computer, never learned how to read a fvcking instruction manual, never learned to drive anywhere besides the 5 miles from home to work, never learned how to set up a bank account, never learned how to pay off a credit card, never learned how to pay a utility bill, never learned how to write a check...

And it's not your place to intervene in the relationship. Your father is obviously OK with it, and has been considering he's put up with it for x0 years.

Do your parents a favor and stay the fvck out of their business.

Yeah, you obviously know that I'm not cleaning the house. I've been cleaning the house for the past two weeks straight, making runs to the recycling center, arranging salvation army pickups, cleaning their living room, scrubbing the bathrooms, cleaning out the garage, cleaning off the dinner table, the work table. These people have no sense of "once you use it, put it back." And to boot they're packrats, believing they're being conservative or resources by keeping everything they've ever bought and been given for free. Just a few days ago I had to dump out 20 POUNDS of unused mini shampoo bottles and soap bars that you're provided during hotel stays. :roll:

So you've been vigorously cleaning the house for the past 2 weeks and it's still too dusty?

What, is your idea of "cleaning for two weeks straight" changing the trash and washing a few dishes?
 
Why not get a job and rent somewhere? The job will offset the cost of living and give you some extra money. You'll have something to do during the day. You'll meet new people. You'll be away from your parents except for when YOU want to see them. Sounds perfect to me.

My father is extremely passive. He never takes the initiative on anything. He confides in me. I know he can't stand my mother, but he won't do anything about it because he's scared and tired. I don't want him to spend the rest of his days in misery...

YES! That is how fvcking messy this house is! Imagine 15 years of sh!t in a little condo that has never been thrown away! Important papers mixed with junk, making the going slow, not knowing what you can throw out and what you can't, not knowing where to even store ANYTHING because all the cabinets, closets, and storage spaces are full. You can't even walk into any of our walk-in closets...

I wonder how many of her patients end up with severe bacterial infections?

I would think that poor air quality is MUCH worse than sleeping in a NATURAL habitat.
 
Geez....you really need to show a bit more respect for someone who went through the pain and discomfort of carrying you in her belly for 9 months then the pain and suffering for birthing you. Mothers can be naggy and annoying and stupid and bitchy...but you have NO RIGHT calling her names and saying all these horrible things about her.

I don't get it...you're sitting there complaining about both parents..then just about mom...then back to both parents....then you say you feel sorry for your dad b/c he's so passive.

It sounds to me like you're just a whiney spoiled brat who thinks the whole world should revolve around you....but even when it does (since you've stated that they practically LIVE for you) it's still not good enough.

If you hate and resent your parents so much...then move out, get a place of your own, get a job, and pay for your own schooling. Until you can do that you should really start showing a little more respect for the two people who have dedicated their lives to you.
 
You may have some valid points my young friend but you have to realize that nobody is perfect. You can?t stand being around them but you keep coming back for more. Read Mike?s post and STFU.

Reading comprehension much?

All my dad's "guilty" of in my posts is being passive, getting yelled at by the wife, having a leaky heart valve, and being messy. Sure, he yells at me sometimes, but at least he makes sense and I understand and respect where he's coming from. I have absolutely no resentment for this man. My mom on the other hand, which is really what this thread is about...

And I have no right? To point out truths about her character, the way she conducts her life, and the way she treats the people she knows? Well I guess I should just sit aside and say "yes ma'am" everytime she launches into a 2 hour tirade about something that clearly makes no sense and where she's WRONG.

All my mom has done is provide for me financially somewhat and academically somewhat. That's it. She drilled me senseless in mathematics when I was young. She wasn't around during late elementary school and middle school. She made my life hell in high school. Her version of "love" is pointing out the "faults" in everyone, all the time. You have no idea how many times my dad and I have just been so completely and wholly mindfvcked when she spontaneously starts picking on one of us and just DOESN'T STOP for hours. Sometimes my dad gets so overwhelmed that he just finally screams shut up! More fuel for the fire, and my mom only goes on...

My dad has a saying about my mom: "Everytime we go on a family vacation, my heart breaks all over again."

Just saw this post.

I'm working on it. I'm in college, have an apartment, working on starting a business, already got the license, need to hire a webmaster and do some test runs, etc. I'm not living with my parents; the thread was about when I come home from college to visit.

The problem with "except when YOU want to see them" is culture. Chinese people are supposed to be very close to their family (I'm just unfortunate to have a bad mother), and I feel obligated to visit them at least once a year. Plus I'm their only child. Plus I feel sorry for my dad because he really has nothing enjoyable at home besides looking forward to my visits. I'd be fine visiting just my dad if he divorced.
 
This thread would be 3 posts long if people would read before launching attacks. The OP made it clear that he doesn't live there, that he does clean, that not coming back isn't an option, that his mom is the problem.... mostly in the first post.

There's only 1 legitimate gripe against the OP, and that's him calling his mom a moron and bitch. No matter what the truth of her personality is, there is still no justification. You can say she nags, her family and your dad dislike her, she's unreasonable... etc. But there's no reason to ever call her those names.

They don't do anything fun because they're too old; my dad has a heart condition (leaky valve) and can't walk for long distances (think 1/2 mile), and my mom is a nagging screaming bitch that rationalizes everything with "it's for your own good and because I love you."

But they're still old, and my parents, and all they think about is me all the time. My dad literally can be often heard singing in Chinese "my son my son my son my son" in the shower. I can't just "stop coming."

Holy WTF Batman
No comment.......funny has hell though.🙂

Depends on where you live. Some places, getting a low-paying temp job will pay the rent in a 1-bedroom apartment, and there should be enough money for food too, but not much more.


What's the situation that you need to come back home to visit? College and home for the summer? Maybe find a cheap place to live. I mentioned apartments costing a lot in certain places - I live near Allentown, PA, which is "close" to New York and Washington DC. Rent in 1-bedroom unfurnished apartments is at the very least $500 a month, but is likely to be close to $700. Where I'm going to college, in Erie, PA, the far side of the state, near Lake Erie, $350/month will get you a similar apartment.
Basically, if the costs of going back home outweigh the benefits, don't do it. Yeah, they're family, but if they cause undue stress, there's no need to put yourself through it. Maybe call occassionally, and if you get the same crap on the phone, don't put up with it there either.
