Top 10 Most Annoying Things Parents Enforce

Sure maybe if you're like in elementary school, this could be reasonable. But if you're 13+, parents really need to get a grip and stop annoying their kids.

Luckily my parents let me be on my electronics at any time of the day. I even take my phone to bed with me so that I can check my notifications before I fall asleep.

This is actually important since I've seen seven year olds going scot free using social media most of the time unsupervised. I certainly do not think this is acceptable

My parents don't understand that the only time I feel calm is when I'm with my phone or at school. My step-dad especially doesn't understand that the cause of all my stress (and recent anxiety attack) is because he yells at me everyday for doing nothing to deserve it. I was going to rewrite my essay and he told me I had an hour to do it. My brain kind of just stopped so I couldn't write anything down. He yelled at me, threatemed to slap me before I started crying (again, it's already been a stressful day. He doesn't need to keep adding onto it). Went to bed without dinner since I lost my appetite and I'm too uncomfortable to tell my mom my true feelingss since she's only nice to me when that demon of steo-dad is gone...

Children 10 and up should be able to use social media as long as they're responsible and use it wisely. I'm 14 and I have Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, and my own YouTube channel.

Honestly more parents should enforce this rule due to children completely being unaware and naive on the internet. If you are allowed to roam freely on the internet and get involved in social media under the age of 13, then your parents have failed you...

Really? Social media is the biggest waste of time ever! People are so antisocial nowadays, get off your phones every now and then and talk to people in person, social media is pointless like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, etc., you people need to grow up!

If you disagree with social media, screw you. Social media is the only way I talk to:
1. my best friend from school I no longer see because I moved. Okay, I can't talk to her in person. So don't tell me to get up and talk in person.
2. The way I talk to my mom. I very rarely see her. So glad I have facebook.
these people ranting over social media? just shut up already. It doesn't harm anyone.

My mom and my grandma are always like this. My mom still buys me expensive things sometimes and is smart with money, but my grandma takes frugality to an extreme level, because she won't buy anything that's more than $100, even if it's an electronic. Every time I tell her that cheap doesn't always mean "good quality", she gets mad at me.

My mom might as well be Mr. Krabs when it comes to buying certain things. Hell, she once tried to buy me a chromebook to in June 2020, but I was luckily able to get her to buy me a nice Windows 10 laptop instead.

My parents are Asian and are very cheap. My mom reuses brown paper lunch bags for WEEKS, and my dad thinks that a $1 box of crayons is too expensive.

Even though my family is middle class, we usually buy very cheap things

In elementary school, my parents always made me wear shorts under my dresses whenever I wore them. Luckily, I'm allowed to wear crop tops and short shorts in public now, as long as they're a reasonable length.

My mom doesn't like it when I get heavy metal shirts, and I have a lot of them. 2 Led Zeppelin ones, 3 Metallica ones, 1 AC/DC one, 1 Iron Maiden one, and I almost got a Megadeth one until I decided to get a video game instead. My older siblings, or aunt has to pretty much buy the shirt without telling my mom, and she gets really angry when I get the shirt.

This is totally okay with me. If parents don't want you to wear something there is definitely a good reason. I agree with everything they say about this 100%. Modesty is important and why would you want to walk around looking like a walking billboard?

I only wear real clothes, not "booty shorts" which are a bit hoe-ish in my opinion. MY rule I make for MYself, it's my desicion: Pants must go past my knees. No dresses or skirts. Makeup not allowed. (Tomboy) Shirts must go past my waist. I think revealling clothing is UGLEH and looks so sketchy. Even my swimwear has to be this way.

Bed time. I get it. Sleep is important. But when your parent doesn't trust you enough to keep YOURSELF healthy you know there's a problem. Especially when you get older. I keep asking my mom to give me some space, let me figure out my sleep schedule myself. And she does for like a week then says "no it's not working" and goest back to leveraging my hobbies against literally anything I do wrong. Going to bed at midnight? It's the electronics fault. Every time she does this I end up staying up even later because I'm riled up. I went to sleep at 3 last night because I was pissed off. Sometimes I think parenting is just a power trip because "you're my kid and I can" I really don't follow where all the stubbornness and pointless double standards come from. I look ant my mom and sometimes she's more childish than me

Apparently, my older siblings used to play with their neighborhood friends after school each day. However, at 5:30, my Mom came up to them and said that it was time for bed time. They started complaining saying that it wasn't even 6 yet, it was still bright outside, and they had only been outside for about 30 minutes. However, they went inside, and then sat in their room till 8:00 talking to their friend for another hour, and Mom never knew.

Ugh! I hate it! My lazy, stubborn, strict father always says " if you're not in bed by 9:00, the only thing that'll be in your room is your bed" I looked at him like what, and I wanted to yell at him SOOO BADLY! Like if someone stepped on your foot purposely like 20 thousand times, THAT BADLY! I mean I wake up before them in the morning, and I'm rarely tired during the day

They just want you to get enough sleep! Scientifically proven results of getting enough sleep: Better health, better mood, lower risk of injury, better weight control, clearer thinking, and a better memory!

Yeah that's true when my dad caught us watching a certain Nick Jr show he says it's for babies but we're just watching it only for our childhood memories and not to act like babies. AGEIST DAD.

Thank GOSH my parents like Looney Tunes... in fact, Looney Tunes isn't just not just for kids, but has several inappropriate material like uncensored Russian Roulette, how many times you can shoot a duck and pro-LGBT messages.

I still watch a couple of Pixar movies, and my Dad enforces this, even though it's technically for all ages.
What's next, "too old" for South Park? Too old for Horror Movies?

My parents are ageist as hell! I am an adult and I like Disney's Hercules, drawing with school supplies, baby blankets, and stuffed animals, but my parents think that if adults like that kind of stuff, they have mental problems! >:(

I'm allowed to play 1.5-2 hours on Fridays-Sundays. I don't complain about it too much on school days because I have so much homework, and even on the weekends too! I sometimes don't even get to play on the weekends. But what's annoying is that the rule stays on long breaks too like summer and winter break when I should literally be able to play however I want and whenever I want! It's even more annoying because I want to get better at the game and place in tournaments and make money and make content rather than play for fun. Maybe after 11th grade ends this year, they might let me play longer on summer and long breaks, and on school days and weekends whenever I finish my homework and get good grades. I hope that happens.

I'm someone who wants to grind competitive Fortnite and play it for at least 4 hours or even 3 hours to become a competitive player than just play for fun. But I'm only allowed to play video games 1.5 to 2 hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. What sucks even more is that that rule even lasts during the summer! I get that during the school year I can play that long because I have a truckload of homework, even on the fricking weekends. But if it's summer or winter break or if I have no homework, just let me fricking play how long I want!

I can play video games 1.5 hours on only Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during the school year. I find this reasonable because I have a lot of schoolwork and I need to focus on it. I can play video games every day on summer though. But only for 1.5 hours a day which is stupid because on summer I should be allowed to play for like 3-4 hours! Or at least 2.5 hours.

I rarely get access to video games on school days ever since 6th Grade. If you want to play games you have to wait until Saturday and Sunday. That's stupid and the dumbest idea EVER!

I agree with my parents at this one. I always make my bed in the morning and I hate when things getbout of order in my room. I usually put the things I used to the place where they belong, so I can find them.

I hate doing this

I meant "get out".

I am not allowed to have a YouTube channel, but my YOUNGER cousin is.

I have a YouTube channel but I don't post anything on it.

Yep so annoying

I'm 15 and I have 11 holes in my body. I have 5 holes on both ears plus one in my right nostril. I'm planning on getting my septum and snakebites done in 2023 when I'm 17 (since that's when my piercer will be willing to do those piercings on me).

well I could not get my ear's pierced till I was 25 yes 25 my mom kept telling me no you will die if you get you ear's pierced. I know this girl that was in my school and she died from getting her ear's pierced do you want that to happen to you?. I really didn't care I just wanted to have pierced ear's my family gave me so many earring's not knowing that I didn't have pierced ear's. so one day my mom said ok we will go have it done. and you know what? I didn't die. what? my mom was wrong? wow!

My ears got pierced when I was 5 but I'm almost 12 now and they won't let me get a second lot and a girl I know who is 10 has THREE!

So...I got my earrings when I was 6. Why? Cause my parents thought I looked ugly without them.

Once when I was little I said I felt sick but my parents didn't believe me. But they took me home because I was whining. Five minutes later I literally threw up all over the floor.

So yeah.

I tell my grandpa I don't feel good, that I feel like throwing up. And all he says is this... "Aw, your fine, you're going 2 school." Sometimes he lets me stay home when I feel the same. I go to school feeling like puking all just for an "education" *facepalm*

This will get other people sick and will cause the school to shut down, my parents have done this before.
How narrow-minded could you be?

Whenever I have a cold, my mom makes me go to school, which sucks.

So ' annoying. I love playing in the rain! Like jumping up on the back of the truck and getting soaked with water. ( Yeahhh I'm so weird ) But when it's seriously pouring outside, they say your gonna get sick and then you won't be able to go to school. Even though they're gonna make you go either way so what's the diff? They say you're gonna get hit by lightning but they say it like this, " Oh yeah go outside and get struck by lightning. Hope you live! " Yeah. #1 parents of the year. I'm sure they don't really mean that, it's just a way to get your attention and get you worried. Some people have really strong immune systems and don't get sick as much so there are chances...

I'll get sick? Just because of rain? How?

You don't get sick by being in the damn cold you get it by you contracting the virus
