New single "Finally Found You" available on iTunes.

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!

I`m also glad that your dad apologised :)

i think parents may be annoyed with their children, due to age factor , but we have to listen sometime. and if you treat with care they will understand you...

THINGS WILL GO WELL SOON DON'T WORRY..

 

Yes, I am trying to understand them but when they can't even tell me what I've done wrong!!! what am I supposed to do?

relation with the parents are very sensitive.

you should be cool m f.  things will get well soon

things always get better but nothing ever seems resolved

mmmmmm.... i just wanna ask you something... how old r u????
I'm 18, 19 in october
It could be wise, if you feel like it, to write them a letter and have a good and positive discussion about the situation.
it is my experience writing a letter shows some distance between you and the other party, so in my humble view its not better. every thing has to see in its context
