Yep, I'm thinking about selling my Evo since I can't be able to put up with this bull**** anymore. No, it has nothing to do with girls. It has to do with my parents in other words. Here's what happened. I came home from work Saturday night, and I wanted to take my car out for a night cruise, since I rarely have time to go take my car out due to working 45 hours a week and all. When I tried to go to the garage, my parents made a whole fuss about the whole thing. They asked me,"Why must you take your new car at night?", and I replied,"Well, given that its MY car, and I am PAYING for it, I suggest you keep your mouth shut." And then, we got into a major fight after and this is the last time I am willing to put up with their ****. What's the point of owning a vehicle if you can't get to drive it much? It's like throwing money away, ya know? I thought they would expect me to be more mature, because I am paying for this 100% on my own, and I can very well afford it, no doubt about it. They think I'm a 12 year old kid and I always have to be home at night at all times. God they are nothing but overprotective and overzealous scumbags.
I don't know what to do, really. What do you guys think?

I'm sorry for this rant, but I got to vent it somewhere.

 

i'll buy it =)

 

WTF????? I would say pick the corn out of my **** I am going out. My dad let me do what I wanted and I respected that and didn't push the limit. I would be pissed off after working all damn week and being told you can't enjoy the fruits of your labor. Thats like having a swim suit model and never tagging her. Don't sell the car man.

 

Honestly, I don't think selling it will help at all. They'll just find the next thing like the Evo to complain about. Just tell them that you're paying for it and as long as you keep your nose clean, it's fine.

 

I would sleep in the car at the park to protest.

 

Dude you better pray your mom doesn't send you to the store for tampons as punishment.

 

You have to stay home at night because parents think you will get in trouble by racing, drinking, doing drugs, talking to strange shady characters, and socializing with the "wrong crowd".

Tell them you have to take it out at night because you worked all freakin' day.

 

IMHO, your priorities are in the wrong place. You live at home with parents yet have a brand new Evo. You work 45+hours a week and live with parents. Can you afford to move out and keep the evo? If not ... I think priorities here have been confused. Get out of your parents house and get a place of your own. If that means selling your Evo ... so be it. You will be happier without an evo while living on your own than with the evo and living with parents.

Parents = controlling until the day they die. No way to change it .. but if you move out, you can be more friends and not so much Parent/Child. IT worked for me. My parents and I didn't get along, UNTIL I moved out. Now my dad and I are best friends.

 

When you start paying your own mortgage and buying your own groceries and start living as an adult, Maybe you have one reason to discuss how your parents tell you to live. After you've raised a child, then you have two still rather flimsy reasons to discuss how your parents tell you to live. After you've repayed your parents for them taking care of your whiny snot nosed self for on average 20 years by paying for them for 20 years, you might even have a third reason when discussing with your parents why you don't feel you should do as your parents tell you.

Good day, I hope you find a little more appreciation for your parents.

 

Get a key to the house and come and go as you please.....

Leave before they get up and come home after they go to sleep.

In the very least tell them to eat a fat dick, you bought the car and you can drive it whenever the **** you want. Then storm out of the house, drive to your gf's have sex with her and then go eat some chicken wings and drive your car (not all at the same time).

Don't sell your EVO, think about how much you love it and about all us poor poor Canucks who aren't priveleged enough to have EVO's in Canada....

 

how about not acting like a rebelious teenager and explain why you should be able to drive it WITHOUT getting angry?

 

I think saying things like this are exactly the reason they would be concerned about your going out driving late at night. It sounds like they don't trust you, which I'm sure you'll agree with, but earn it and you'll be much better off.

And as someone else said... move out. I don't know how old you are, but if you're working full time and owning an Evo, you should be able to move out and if you're considering selling the Evo to end your frustration, then move out with what you make on the Evo...

I totally agree with digdat. You really need to get your priorities straight. I do think that the fact that your parents is being overprotective, etc, etc...and that you can't change that because that is just what parents do. The issue is that you don't want/need that anymore therefore it is best you move out and I agree even if that mean selling your EVO. You still can have a good relationship with your parents if you move out. Moving out doens't mean you are in bad terms with your parents. But it will also let them know that you are grown and you can take care of yourself now. In addtion, if you are living under their roof, then you have to go by their rules. If you don't want to, move out!!!!

 

bro, ur parents have got u ***** whipped. there comes a time in a mans life when he needs to put his foot down. and when that foot comes down, it stays down. u cant let ur parents ***** u around like that, u gotta stand up like a man and be like "*****, this here's my car, woman". cause thats the only language mom's understand. good luck and remember "Keep ya head up, legs closed, eyes open"

 

Dude,

As long as you live under your parents' roof, you are subject to their authority and their rules. I agree with others who have questioned your priorities. your post comes off as ungrateful and downright immature. Some of the replies are equally juvenile.

Why are you living at home? Could it be that you can't afford your own place because of the car? If my kid bought an expensive car and lipped off to me, I'd show him the door (obviously, he can afford his own place). My house = my rules.

Hopefully, your parents' actions are motivated by love (for you). Sometimes, when you're growing up, you don't see the love, just the fences and guidelines and rules. Try to understand why they might have concerns. Discuss their concerns calmly with them. Maybe you can persuade them that you are mature after all.

Time go grow up. If you don't like living with Mom and Dad, get your own place. You'll be lots happier. If you stay at home, you should do so realizing you're subject to your parents' authority. Accept it and be content.
