Sometimes I wish I could tell my parents I need a day to myself. Just me. No one else. Maybe go get coffee, come home, watch what I want to watch, hang out in pjs all day if I want to, not do any chores. But they don’t get it. I can’t even hang out in my room without my mom asking me a million questions. And not worried cuz ill si or anything but because she expects me to be here in the living room at all times. I hate it! I need some time alone and habe no idea how to get it.
Hi. I know what you mean. My parents are divorced and I switch between my dad’s and mom’s house every other week. At my dad’s house I can spend the entire day in my room and nobody even comes in to check if I’m still alive. Being unintentionally ignored is no fun.
However, my mother does not respect my space. She enters my room without knocking, invades my personal space, she even read my diary once! I calmly sat down with her and told her that I am a teenage girl with feelings and a very large personal bubble space. It took some convincing, but I managed to have an entire day without her peering over my shoulder. My advice to you is explain to your parents your situation in a calm, rational way. Hopefully they’ll understand.
Good luck to you!
