Sometimes it is not easy being a parent. I mean, can you imagine parenting a kid like you!!! ... This sounds funny, but it "does" have a bit of truth.I mean, think about it. Imagine all the things your parents have to keep up with. And everything depends on "them!" If your dad and mom fail in providing the basics of what is needed for themselves and you, like food, clothing, a house, a bed for you to sleep in, money for the lights and so on, it is "they" who will be terrible failures in this world and would be embarrassed while being on the streets begging for something for you to eat!!!
As for you, well, you have to go to school, empty the trash, mow the lawn and things like that. I know sometimes this seems like a lot, but at least you are being taken care of. Do you know what I mean?
All this, and if your parents are any kind of parents at all, they actually care about you a lot. They know that all it would take is for you to screw up one time really bad and it could be "curtains" for you!
Think about it. Sometimes this people you live with, called parents, might not know how just exactly to say it, but they "do" really love you. The point is, do "you" love "them?" (I think you do. Even if there's problems.) Then, you should "show" them or "tell" them in some way.
If you have to, write it on a note and act like you accidently dropped it at their feet as you exit the building! I don't care "how" you do it, just "do it!!!"
Say, "Thanks Mom" and "Thanks Dad". You might find that you and them would get along better!!!
Now, go and have a nice day. ... :-)
