Ok I need some help
This is a long story but I just need some help dealing with my parents if you don't want to read it I understand.
As some of you know, my parents are a tad overprotective. I have been living in my own apartment with my twin sister for 2 months now and we just started college last week.
Lately my parents have been very...how should I say it...annoying? I guess that works. This past week I have been really busy with work and school and so I haven't been able to go see them. Last night they came here and we had dinner and it was a great day. Today, I was planning on going over there to spend some time with my mom (my dad was working today) and help her bring the groceries in (for some reason she can't seem to do this on her own). So my sister called her this morning and told her to call us when she was going to the store. She never called so we called and told her we were headed over. I guess she left for the store then. On our way over I got a call from a friend, Megan, and she wanted to know if we wanted to hang out. I was like, "sure we are headed over towards you just pick us up at our mom's house" so I called mom and she didn't pick up. I left a message with the details of our plan change and when we got home she wasn't there and we left before she came back.
2 hours latter I get a phone call from my dad yelling at me saying that I'm treating them like sh*t and that I can't go to the concert anymore (yes he actually cussed at me which doesn't happen very often). So we head back home and our mom isn't even mad. Our dad is still yelling at me on the phone but can't for the life of him tell me what I did wrong. He's basically saying that I can't pull out on a comitment with my mom to go hang out with my friend (insidentally this is the only real friend I've had that truly seems interested in doing things with me). Well ok I wasn't aware that getting the groceries out of the car and taking them in the house was a commitment but whatever.
So that was laid to rest but never really resolved and we went back over to Megan's to watch a movie. It ended at midnight and we decided we wanted to watch another one. I texted my mom to tell her what was going on and she's like "you reallly think it's a good idea for you to be driving that late?" I told her we could stay at Megan's if she wanted us to and she said "whatever"
We ended up driving back to our apartment at 1:00am and I don't know what is going to happen in the morning but I just can't stand this anymore. I never really went through that teenager stage and I know that's what this is but can someone please tell me what I need to do. I hate this and I don't want it to keep me from going to the concert!
Thank you for reading this and I know that it's probably stupid for me to post it but I can't handle this on my own. Mom's and anyone who has gone through this PLEASE HELP!

my parents are kinda like that but i haven't been through that...the best solution (i think) is to go up to both of them and give them a very sincere apology (even if you don't mean it; my advice is to take the apology from Anne of Green Gables, the book, cuz that is very sincere and heartfelt, if u want to u can revise it to the situation, but i did it the way it was in the book to my mom and the apology and the things that happened afterwards was like a piece of cake) and say that after the concert you will try has hard as you can to make time for them and visit them more, but to just let you go to the concert (or something like that)...if they say "i don't know, i'll have to think about it" then just leave it at that and don't bug or nag...cuz that'll just turn them off.
I hope this helps and I hope you get to go to the concert!

I don't think I could memorize an appology but that would be perfect lol. I think they are just using the concert as a kind of blackmail because they know I want to go so bad. I don't think that they will actuallly keep me from going. thanks for the advise

Great Sarah! that your father apologized to you, but your mother´s situation is something,
She has to fix it some way. I feel that it makes a lot of problems for you and your father. I know she don´t do it on purpose, but it hurts you.....
Wish you the best Sarah....

Awww, I`m sorry to hear that you can`t go to the concert!!! :( Maybe you can explain to your parents what happened and to forgive you to let you go to the concert :) One day when both are home, take them, let them sit in the sofa and talk to them about everything!!! :) You`ll see that things will change, at least a bit, something will happen :)

I don't think that's really what he meant. I think he meant it as blackmail, like If I really want to go then I need to be respectful. but i still don't know how I wasn' being respectful. He appologized and I think we're good now

I`m glad to hear that he apologised :) If you have any questions ask him, you can say: "what did I do wrong?" "Am I able to go to the concert?" You can ask him this too, to see if he`s still mad at you :P

I did ask him what I did wrong and he couldn't tell me. that's what made me so mad. It wasn't something I could fix because I didn't know what I did.

Hmmmm, I think he`s still mad at you :S Wait a few days to calm down and ask him again!
