From that statement I gather you are probably between the age of 14 and 17 :>) We were in the same place as you are with your parents and we all had to figure out the balance of power over the years so what I am telling you is coming from both sides of the picture!

I am the father of 2 , boy and girl, grand father to 1 and uncle to 9 nephews and 6 nieces along with numerous younger cousins as well as the numerous friends of all of them. I have participated in this same discussion many times over years about the same subject and no matter how many time we go through it the answer always the same" TO GET RESPECT YOU HAVE TO EARN IT" and also have to learn "HOW TO SHOW RESPECT" as well !

Try this,,,,, Calmly talk to them instead of getting defensive and giving them the eye.

The suggestion I am making is that if you want them to LEAVE YOU ALONE, communicate and earn trust and help them realize you are growing up. That means TALKING to them in a calm manner every once in a while. Show that you are gaining maturity and are glad they are interested but that you need space to make some of your own decisions and with that your own mistakes. Sometimes all they want is to know you are ok, but it is a fine line between concern and being overbearing and all parents are learning the rules same as you!

MAJOR RULE #1 in raising kids,,,,, THERE ARE NO RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As parents, we have a tendency to want to know everything about what is going on with our children. We want to make sure they are safe and not getting into trouble but the problem is we see them as the babies they once were and not as the young adults they are becoming.

As a parent it is hard to loosen up on the control and we will always interfere in some way or another, (trust me, I am 50 and my parents STILL drive me NUTS), but as time goes on the grip will slack up and you will be glad they were there when the ca ca hit the fan!
