#parent help

[kyarutryingtowrite-blog]

I (34f) just got told by my parent (65m) to change my outfit because he didn't like it. The dress was sleeveless, above the knee, I wasn't wearing a bra, and I shaved my head a few days ago. I usually dress very conservatively, t-shirts and long sleeves and I've never been a girly girl, but sometimes it's nice to play around with one's look.

I told him if I couldn't wear what I wanted, I wouldn't go to the party (I was asked to make a big distracting impression due to some family drama, and I don't particularly care what a bunch of strangers think of me) and he then says 'Fine, you go and I'll stay.'

Now we're both staying home like two idiots, I because I I should have bodily autonomy in this day and age, and he because only God and more mature minds than me know why.

Give me a little insight here, Tumblr denizens. Crying into my crochet isn't helping.

Horse help !

Any one out there have any advice of what to add into a thing for my parents to convince them to let me get a horse? :)

My mom has been asking me to help her set up a Facebook account for about a year now, but she’s become more insistent recently (no offense to her, just giving details here).

Personally, I think Facebook is the most intrusive of all the platforms available and I haven’t had an account for years and back when I did I hardly used it.

Does anyone have any tips or precautions I should take or warn her about while I set her up with one?

I think there was a privacy issue awhile ago? Did that ever get resolved?

I’ll leave this with a question mark so anyone can answer?

How to Talk to Kids About the Tough Stuff: Terrorism and Tragedy

How to Talk to #Kids About the Tough Stuff: Terrorism and Tragedy why #parents need to & how to make them less #anxious

Terrorism and tragedy are all too real these days. It can be hard to talk to your child about the scary things we see and hear on the news. Many of us pretend they don’t hear about this at school or see the images that we see, but they do. The sad reality is, horrific acts have become more common in the world we live in. We can certainly shield them from TV, but we can’t hid their eyes or ears to…

I'm an INTP, and I'm really aggravated at my parents because they're so inconsiderate and strict and they give me absolutely no privacy whatsoever. However, at the same time I feel really bad for even thinking those thoughts because I know they're trying their best and that they're good people at heart who love me so much and just want to help. This is tearing me to pieces! Why is this happening, and how can I stop hating my parents/hating myself for hating my parents? (Tag this #parent help)

Hm, I understand what you mean. Coming from an INFJ whose had a fairly contentious relationship with strict ISTJ and ESTJ parents throughout my life, I get you. That’s a really tough situation, especially since it sounds like you really want to be respectful and loving, but you’re just frustrated with the situation. I would say the best thing to do would be to have a conversation with your parents about how you’re feeling. I feel like you have a pretty good grip on your rational, respectful side, and you have a good perspective on why they’re doing the things they’re doing, so just channel that when you talk to them. That being said, they may not actually change anything, but I still feel like it’s important to have a relationship where you feel like you can voice your side and your reasons and feel like you’re heard. That might help with some of your frustration as well.
