Just wait till you have a teen, then you will change your mind. I know I did say that before when I was a teenager but now Im ready to settle down soon and starting to have a family.shadowavenger77;3813432; said:you have no idea what other people live with or how their parents act. just because your "mom" was so awsome does not make it right to bash teens because they complain about their parents.
oh and yes mine do the same thing....and so do my sister and bro. actually my sister dumped a botle of soap in my tank once when i was not home. lets just say i had a spare tank after that one. and i got hit because i yelled at her.....hahahaha 
My parents have never threatened to flush my fish, or make me sell them, or to smash my tanks. Even when there was like 5 gallons of tank water all over the floor. Not to mention carpet floor. I usually obey my parents, like with chores or something.
If my parents had ever threatened to hurt my pets I'd be out the door in 10 minutes after turning 18. They can fix their own damn house. If my wife made that mistake I'd have her served walking papers by next sun down, with no regret.
If you think threatening your kids' pets is a useful form of punishment you should have been sterilized before breeding, hate me I really don't care. It was your choice to have the kid not theirs so this "I'm a parent and you owe me" rant is bull****.
OP: Your parents are nucking futs, try to avoid their wrath till your old enough to move out then don't talk to them, ever.

To me its a rather immature and a terrible method of parenting / discipline. However its tough to really jump on your bandwagon simply because I don't know you or how you acted in the confrontation or in general. Though it does seem they are acting a bit irrational and either need to think up better conflict resolution or attend counseling with you. Hope this made sense.
BTW When I was 13 I had a 55 gallon reef tank I spent all my hard earned money on it was finally stocked and cycled and I got into a feud with my brother who was quite an ass at the time... He dumped a gallon of bleach in my tank
So please do better than me at protecting your pets if they might be in danger. This event still makes me upset.

edit:i have 8 kids so I know a thing or 2 about parenting, and by the way my mom often gave me advice that I did not want to listen to as I knew I was right. Even when she sat down with us over our big bowl of greenery (she talked we puffed)and talked with us we found it funny, but in the end she was right.
So as to keep context I quoted myself.
Now where did I bash teenagers in this post? Nowhere did I bash teenagers.
Dude have care, YOU HAVE NO IDEA what I went through with my real dad and my step dad BOTH raging lunatic alcoholics. I ask you have you ever been whipped with an electrical cord as a form of corporal discipline?
So before you go off half cocked about who has no idea, stop shooting blanks and put away your gun!!!!
Quite simply a very interesting FLAW in the human beings nature that takes over many people in their teen years is an self important focale pointedness as they begin to figure out who and what they are and will be in life.
Those who are able to overcome such a flaw end up having wonderful relationships with their parents and elders. Why? Because they realize that those who are older BELIEVE IT OR NOT have actually once been teenagers and they have much wisdom to offer and usually offer it as a way of trying to keep the present teen from the pitfalls of that stage of life.
Those who fall prey to this flaw pretty much end up running down the rampant path of raging hormones and fury crying wolf and a huge list of other things. Claiming that their parents just don't understand. And usually the people that accepts them as beign totally in the right is their peer group. And when trouble comes as a direct repercussion of these matters as it usually does who's fault is it. The parent's who don't understand or the person who did the action.
My advice would be to step back and do your very best to see that your parents reallly honestly want the best for you. If they did not, they would care less that you were late for school. Why would they bring your fish into it, well, were you up late doing waterchanges? Has your hobby caused you to sideline some of the formative activities that will very much shape your future such as getting to school on time? etc.... etc... etc....
My earlier post was not a bash at teenagers, rather some advice to take a cheque from the bank of reality and cash it. So long as you live under someones' roof, they rule the roost END OF STORY

boy oh boy if that is how you view family relations have fun making love to your fish, have fun hugging your fish and most certainly have fun living with your fish and pets, because boy you so out of touch with reality that it is not even funny.
I have always said this and mean if for myself as well. IF THE TIME EVER COMES THAT I HAVE TO PUT MY FAMILY ON THE ALTAR OF MY HOBBIES IT IS TIME FOR ME TO LEAVE THAT HOBBY.
so do yourself a favour and email your own post to yourself or better yet write it down and carry it in your wallet and reread it 10-20 years from now.
just wait till you get in the real world friend, your oh so tough demeanor will not serve you well
and I can see your preconceived concept that marriage is all about what you want will get you a great marriage NOT.
