Bossy Parents

Who needs bossy parents anyway? Why do parents have to be bossy? For example, I'm just getting home from school all I want to do is grab a soda and head out the door to ride my bike over to our secret hangout and be with my friends. Then I remember the bag of Funions in the cabinet so as I was reaching for them my mom came in the kitchen and said, "What are you doing young lady?" I sighed loudly because I knew what was coming, the same thing that happens every time I want to take snacks to the hangout. I mumbled, "Nothin' Mom" closed the cabinet door and pushed past her as I headed to the front door. Then she yells, "And where are you going? Don't you have some kind of studying to do?" I call over my shoulder as I open the door, "Not really, bye" and shut the door behind me. I hurry to my bike and take off down the street. When I get to the hangout all my friends are there munching on Doritos that Kim had brought from her kitchen. They always have the best stuff, I love going to their house because they can do anything they want. I always have to do the dishes and clean my room, do my homework, help with supper, blah, blah blah. Why do I have to do that stuff when it ain't even my house, you know how parents are ALWAYS reminding ya' that it's THEIR roof you live under, so why do I have to take care of it? Why can't they just let me have fun? Why do I have to do anything that I don't want to do. Teachers boss me around all day long and then I come home and my parents boss me around until I go to sleep, they even tell me when I gotta' do that. I will be glad when I am my own boss, I'm moving outta' this place and doing exactly what I want, when I want and that's how it's gonna' be.

Ever feel that way? I sure do, even now that I am a mother of three kids. I want to move out and do what I WANT TO DO for once. I am adult why can't I?
Keep getting older, you'll see.
