I'm not saying that there weren't 2 sides to the story. I probably acted out of line and probably made a fool of myself, but I found my dad's threats to my pets somewhat...wrong, offensive, and a bit sadistic.
Does anyone else's parents ever use their fih as a threat?

hence i said IF, they stop saying anything. im certainly not implying anything. juss looking out for ya. besides, if it doesnt happen often. i suppose your in good hands. keep it up on the positive note. good luck. and yes, perhaps a lock or two mite be nice for the fish. lol.
and again. i agree with you on the fish threat. a bit childish but it seems he's at his wit's end. doesnt justify it though. but i think you're on the right trail. u seem to have ur head screwed on fairly well if you're at least admitting your end of it all and making it a goal to improve.

People say things when they're upset. Just think of how upset you made him and do your best not to do it again. I imagine, based on the last year of interaction with you, that you are not a horrible kid. Your parents know this too. Just tune your behavior a little bit. You can't control their behavior, only yours.
That is a great video! 
Fish and pets are different to most people. Most don't classify fish as pets, although most here do.
In defense of your parents you shouldn't have been late to school. I would have been aggravated at my kids as well if they couldn't make it to school on time. I'm sure that you were probably back talking a bit too, just by reading your posts I get that feeling. Remember they aren't thinking that fish are pets like hampsters. Heck do most of the people in the USA eat hamsters or dogs? Nope but you can get a fish sandwich at McDonalds all day long. GL
If me and my wife get into little spat, she always throws up about having a fish barbecue. not much I can say, since they are food. Even though as a fish lover I find it kinda gross.

dude when i glanced at this i couldn't believe it. my mom does this all the time but i wouldn't dare call her bluff. she would do it on a heartbeat. lol but your not the only one
I can see this thread now
A bunch of angst filled teenagers with a lack of respect for the parents( who care, house and provide for them ) jumping on the lets tar and feather mom and dad bandwagon.
Seriously, when I was younger and lived with my mother there was no way in hell that I would diss my mom or see her as anything other than the person who was looking out for my best. She was the greatest woman I have ever met and I had the honour of preaching her funeral as the first one I ever did, but not the last.
I think that many teenagers need to realize that respecting and honouring their parents is the best way to go. Unless it is that you are obviously possessed of such immense wisdom and experience that your 13-18 years of existence outweighs their 30+ years depending on how old they are.
I know that this post will not go well with many people BUT SUCK IT UP AND STOP BEING A SPOILED LITTLE BRAT MOUTHING OFF TO YOUR PARENTS!!!!!

Great point. My dad wouldn't have thought twice about having me clean, fillet, and fry my pet Largemouth whom I raised from a wee fry to a 18" whopper. Would've been traumatic for me though. And I've cleaned and filleted plenty of fish growing up.
I know i had my parents threated me with flushing fish down in toliet before and they actually flushed four of my expensive cichlids (one of them are EBJD!) I learned my lessons that I have to respect them and living under thier roof. Sure fish threats are a little childish but talk back to your dad isnt smart thing to do...seriously.
