I'm 24 years old, why do I get grounded from the computer right off the bat without them even talking to me? I got more respect as a teenager than now. Parents are such a mystery to me. I mean, yes it makes sense the computer is the only thing I'm attached to. But to me taking it away is pointless. I don't learn anything from it except "don't make dad mad". I tried to tell them what happened (I slept instead of going to church, I needed the sleep though. I hadn't slept a full night in 3 or 5 days and was finally able to catch up) but no, they wouldn't hear it and anything I said I was shut down by mom who talked to me instead of dad who stayed downstairs. He was really mad and I still don't understand why since this is the first time I've missed church to sleep in over a year. He hasn't talked to me since yesterday. I'm just so frustrated with them. They don't talk to me at all unless I'm in trouble. If I'm not at work I'm either home in my room away from them or at a friend's house.
