my parents arent normal?

Take a look around Yahoo answers, at the many questions from people your age who have horrible, uncaring parents!

Do you have any idea how lucky you truly are to have a mother who genuinely CARES about you?

It's her job to see to your safety. If you feel she is too strict, at least she is doing her job.

Faith in God doesn't mean that she should just set you loose and expect God to watch you ~ she is doing what she is supposed to be doing. If you really feel she is too strict, sit down with her for a talk. Ask her why she doesn't trust you, why she doesn't think you can be responsible. Ask her what you can do to get a little more privileges. She may not agree but at least you will be having a dialogue about it. I hope everything works out for you but 15 years old is very young. Don't wish your youth away; trust your Mother and be good and maybe she will loosen the reins a bit. Good luck.

It does sound like your parents may be a little strict, but you have to understand that there doing it to help protect you. I went through that stage with my parents when I was younger. Teens are growing up much faster these days then when our parents where kids. But you have to remember times have changed and its way more unsafe now. The best way to go about it with your mom is not arguing. Try gaining more trust and showing her your responsible. Take baby steps with her. And most importantly, remember your really only 15. As you become 16, 17, 18 you will get more priveledges. I couldnt even date when I was 15. And by 16 I had way more freedom. But when she gives it to you, dont take it for granted and screw up. Cause youll have to start back to square one with the whole trust thing. I turn 21 this week and my mom and I have the best relationship. Give her time she love you. Trust me, I was right where you are!

here is a poem my daughter found framed and gave me and now she had a baby a few months ago i wrapped it up and gave her. your parents care I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids had candy for breakfast, I had to eat cereal, eggs, and toast. While other kids had cakes and candy for lunch, I had a sandwich. As you can guess, my dinner was different from other kid's dinner too.

My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. You'd think we were on a chain gang or something. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing.

I am ashamed to admit it, but she actually had the nerve to break the child labor law. She made us work! We hat to wash dishes, make the beds, and learn how to cook. That woman must have stayed awake nights thinking up things for us kids to do and she insisted that we tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

By the time we were teenagers, she was much wiser and our life became more unbearable. None of this tooting the car horn for us to come running, she embarrassed us to no end by insisting that friends come to the door to get us.

I forgot to mention that most of our friends were allowed to date at the mature age of 12 or 13, but our old fashioned mother refused to let us date until we were 16.

She really raised a bunch of squares. None of us was ever arrested for shoplifting or busted for dope. And who do we have to thank for this? You're right, our mean mother.

I am trying to raise my children to stand a little straighter and taller and I am secretly tickled to pieces when my children call me mean. I thank God for giving me the meanest mother in the world. Our country doesn't need a good five cent cigar, it needs more mean mothers like mine.

Blessings on that wonderful woman!

Is it wrong to have a mother that actually cares about you? I find what you say to be very conceited. What exactly do you mean by a normal life? Some mothers don't even bother to check on an infant child. Your mother just wants to know what she raised is more than trustworthy and responsible. I think maybe one day you will understand when you become a parent.
