Re: Petty Grudges You've Held Since Childhood

[(Anonymous)]

I could go on for pages, but my parents were really inconsistent with their rules and expectations for me, and contradicted themselves all the time if it benefited them in the moment. So I'd do my best to comply with what they'd tell me... only to get punished when they'd change their minds without letting me know.

It gave me a lifelong obsession with logistics. I get really anxious now if I don't know exactly how things are going to go as soon as I find out about them, and change/surprises freak me out.

This.

Being the oldest of three and watching my younger brothers get away with all sorts of shit and my parents held us accountable to different rules.

I remember wanting them to make a chore chart just so I could start getting things in writing.

I got the exact opposite of that deal. My older brother was allowed tons of freedom that I wasn't, even when you adjust for our age difference. They wanted to correct the "mistakes" they'd made with him and then later wondered why I was so socially maladjusted and paranoid.

I've since worked through most of my issues, but I don't think I'll be letting them have much access to any children I might have in the future.

This, exactly! My older brother could do WHATEVER he wanted (possicly because my mom felt guilty for our parents going through a divorce). Start work at 13? Sure. Have everything paid for by mom because 'he's so loyal to me'? Ok! Never pay a dime in rent (he's 36 and still lives at home) WHY NOT.

Meanwhile I had to push and shove her to finally give me enough practice to get my driving license (20) and she was nagging me to pay her rent for the last 2 years (my response: you'll get my money when I see his check!)

I'm glad you've worked through most of your issues, anon. Hopefully I'll be there one day, too.

...you too?

Did you also get endless rounds of "Why can't you be more assertive / Stop trying to get the last word!" as well?

The endless gaslighting folks like to do to teenagers is exhausting.
