I'm Sick of My Mom's Weird House Rules - What Should I Do?

I’m Sheila. For years, I’ve been following my mom’s ridiculous rules. But I’ve had enough. Every family has rules. For example “Do your homework on time,” “Don’t eat in front of the computer,” “Turn off the lights when you leave the bathroom.” These rules are normal and I agree that they should exist. I wish our rules were like that. But my mom’s rules are irrational, illogical and totally meaningless.

  • Those rules are extremely strict. I would be extremely mad, call a psychologist on her, or run away, because those rules are so unacceptable.
  • @kaelynpng2153
    I feel sorry for Sheila. No one should be punished for something they did not do.

    I would not imagine being in this same position like Sheila. I would absolutely reach a Breaking Point if I had to put up with any ridiculous rules for years and years. That would be a nightmare for me. That will affect me emotionally, mentally and personally. I am so glad that didn’t happen to me. I am so happy to be myself and be who I am and do what you love to do and do best.
  • What should you do? -move out as soon as possible -move to a foreign country -maybe visit her once in a while
  • @sydneysmith2968
    Sheila, either tell your dad about what your mom is doing to you about walking to school or get a psychologist to observe her
  • what's funny is that we have a separate organ called "nerves" to warn us about our body if we drink to much or ate too much.
  • @theLASK
    1:26 Yes, there are. Some mothers abuse their children beyond imagination.
  • @ryanwelkom7721
    Rules like that are one of the factors that kids and teens run away from their parents and guardians.
  • How can you keep your calm? If I were you, I would be fighting with my mum, shouting at the top of my voice. I respect how you can be so patient. You should definitely have a psychologist observe her. There was probably some issues that upset her in her childhood and now she can’t get over them.

    I feel you Sheila. For your Kidneys to function You need water even while you eat.

    Hi Sheila, Bella i have a twin sister named Amaya and my mom legit said the same thing and i have more irrational rules but i can relate to you. and i don't know how your mom thinks cinderella is a bad movie i could understand how mean your mom is. and i feel so amazed that you were able to fallow your mom's ridiculous rules. and i am so sorry for you but having a mom like that i think she has a phobia.
  • @memeboi26
    Lets just respect how this girl managed to survive from all these "important rules" given by her mom.
  • Mom: there are no bad mothers What Sheila should have said: well I am looking at one so you are wrong
  • As soon as she said Beverages are not allowed during dinner I was just like WHAT IF YOU CHOKE?
  • @Salesiable
    Imagine if Sheila continued to put up with her mom and especially her Ridiculous rules for years. It will get to the point where Sheila would reach a Breaking Point where she still not get over it. And that shouldn’t happen to anyone else who had to put up with any parent ridiculous rules. No children should never have to be punished for something they didn’t do. That is child abuse no doubt about it. But imagine if I was Sheila Dad and she told me about that i would be furious, livid and angry no doubt about it. I would change the rules and let Sheila be herself, be happy and I’ll let her do what she loved doing. No child should ever have to put up with anyone weird rules for that matter. That is child abuse and that is abuse of power.
  • Sorry but after that last part, you need to do two things, 1) tell your dad to divorce that woman IMMEDIATELY & 2) REPORT HER TO CHILD SERVICES
