Strict parents don't equal happy teenagers. Hundreds of rules doesn't mean we're going to follow them. Just because you effed up as a teen, doesn't mean we're going to. Grounding us for stupid reasons won't ever teach us a lesson. Yelling at us for making mistakes won't make us try harder. You all say the same thing. "I'm sick of hearing that. Why has every one of my kids' told me all of that before? You guys are all the same..."
If you've heard all of this before, why haven't you listened to it? That's the thing, you always hear with your ears, but don't take the time to listen with your heart. We know you love us...but why can't you just listen to us? It would lighten things on both sides, and trust me-there wouldn't be sceaming and yelling. Oh but I forgot, you hear but you don't listen..
