  it is her house, so it is her rules, ahuehue
  
  I can understand the things my mom wants me to do, even if they might be unreasonable, but sometimes she crosses the line. She had me clean out the cabinets where all the pots and pans are, which was I iffy about, but I did it since I can never find anything.
  
  Then, she asked me to clean out my drawers. I can do that.
  
  Then, she told me to clean out my brother's drawers. He can clean his own damn drawers.

  Most of the time parents have a good reason to order their kids around. Sometimes they don't but they don't need to. And sometimes they're just wrong but can't stand being wrong because they "know everything"

  If you're still living under your parent's shelter and survive by their cooking and work, it's reasonable for them to keep their own household rules until you move out. Sometimes, it even catches onto the kids when they grow up and they move out with some of those rules too.
  
  The only times whereas they're unreasonable is if they completely disrespect you and use you, besides the point of when they grow old and retire...But, hey, there's retirement homes and all, and other places they could go. If you've been raised by them for a while, it's good I suppose to pay them back by giving them a shelter and food, when they've done the same for you before.
  
  When you have siblings, they're at times unreasonable, but the siblings usually follow the older one and learn from them instead. The times that are unreasonable are usually times that it's someone else's responsibility to take care of, and not yours to take care of.
  
  Of course, when you're just somewhere between 5-8 iunno...You start to learn more and kind of want to get things of your own too, such as toys and popular stuff/trends that happen at school. Sometimes parents only reward you when you've been good for a while, because they have a lot of responsibility for you, and try to keep you outta trouble when you're younger.
  It may be good to have carefree parents, but then, you really don't learn anything from them besides the things you've learned yourself. Those types of parents are a misfortune to have when you get older.
  
  At stupidest times, they may not listen to their children and think they're the only ones who've grown up and can make the right decisions for their children to be happy. Then, to put it, as:
  "Their happiness is not another person's happiness no matter how close their relations are."

  Take it as life experience on the off chance that you have a tough boss that wants it his/her way or the highway.

  Mom doesn't touch my money. She asked to borrow it the other day, and im like okay.(she would be paying me back 200 extra dollars)
  
  They always want me to be doing something though. Cleaning Garbage. Doing laundry. Dishes.
  
  I mean, I do them anyways. It's just annoying since I don't own many clothes, so I have to clean a sh*t ton of clothes that aren't even mine. Garbage, I don't really use any of the garbages downstairs, so it's annoying to have to clean everyone else's + my own. And dishes, if it's like, hand food or something I always eat it on a paper towel not to get any dishes dirty lmoa.
  
  MEHH. I love my mom though <3

  ^ Ja, that's the part that gets me sometimes.
  
  If i'm in a bad mood, usually i'm always like, "Why can't everybody else do their own damn laundry?" (I don't do my laundry with everybody else's because most of mine need to be washed on a different rinse and then hung to dry), or "Why can't xxxx clean up after themselves instead of me doing it?"
  Otherwise, I don't really mind.

  Think of parents having children as an investment. They spent soo much of their time raising, teaching, shelter and feeding you. Hoping you can grow up to be able to take care of yourself and watching your parents back when they are in trouble. After 15+ years, I would expect kids to be doing some help around the house, teach you responsibility and hard work. Even if you are 20+ living under your parents, they expect you to be using your time wisely, you are still being fed and sheltered (you better be in school, working, or be joining the service).
  
  If your parent tells you to get off the Laptop/Comp/Game to help out, you better get your ass off and help. You're not paying the bill so better not think of some sorry excuse why you must waste another minute doing nothing. Wasting your parents time and money.
  
  Now would you excuse me, I need to go knock off another bird nest on the roof~ /o/

  I have a job. I don't ask them for money. They are using MY car because hers broke down. I don't mind cleaning up, just most of it is not even my mess.

  Haha, I saw this video a few days ago.
  
  My parents can be unreasonable, but from what I hear, I have it better than a lot of people.

  [SIZE="1"][SIZE="2"][SIZE="2"][FONT="Arial"]Yeah, sometimes I think my parents can be unreasonable too. But I understand that they've done so much to raise me that I should do what I can to pay them back, though I don't have a job right now @___@ I don't think I could handle one right now.

  Mmm, i'm glad that my parents pay me for doing stuff around the house.
  I'm also basically a full-time babysitting for my brother, too, so I get $30 a week for everything that I do, which isn't just dumb stuff like taking out the trash.
  I couldn't get hired anywhere. ;~; No jobs in our little town.

  My parents are very reasonable :o
  My dad has only used the "my house, my rules" thing on me once, and that was years ago.
  
  They don't even make me do housework, although I do it anyway sometimes since any little thing I do seems to make them a lot happier. My parents are under a lot of stress, so if I can make things easier for them, of course I'll try.

  my dad isn't very reasonable at all but my mom is. i have a lot of freedom since im 20 (and hopefully moving out next year) but my parents don't have to worry about me because i rarely go out, and when i go out it's with my friends who they know really well and trust
