I (18) need a opinion of a parents perspective


Hello! I am 18 (almost 19) and I just need a perspective of another parent.My parents are very strict.I don’t like how both of my parents are on my ass all the time asking where I am 24/7 and just won’t let me have a good time. Yes, they also have life360 on me as well. Well even worse, if i’m out for more than 8 hours they will literally threaten me to come home or they will kick me out or take the car away from me. It’s to the point where if they just want me to come home, their tactic of just coming home is the quote of “if you don’t come home i’m gonna take ___” which is just really annoying. they especially do that phrase when it comes to arguing too, just to make sure they end the conversation of them “winning” the argument. they do it too much where it’s just not believable anymore. they also threaten to call the cops during an argument or disagreement as well. They have done that to my older brother in the past too.I do understand I am a woman and being outside is dangerous, but I would be at work or even at the gym. Even having an 8 hour shift they still tell me to go home, I can’t even do anything after work.I have had couple of advices from friends who understand the situation i’m in currently and usually their advice would be communication. I have a hard time communicating with my parents because they want to act like children and ignore me. At one point (a couple months ago) they ignored me by not buying food for me and just making food for themselves. I had to buy my own food for a month just to eat and even when i asked for food they wouldn’t budge to even get me a fruit. I had snapped at one point and they started to buy me food but it’s mostly just bagels, i started eating at least a meal a day just to be sure i had enough food for the rest of the week.I’m not even the only child. I have a older brother who I wasn’t close to either due to other reasons that resulted the whole family being a nightmare. Due to the reasons, my brother went to jail, my parents had to take 6 months of parenting classes and i was left alone with a horrible babysitter, also my uncle, who traumatized me and deserves prison time.My older brother used to rant to his girlfriend (now wife) about how much money my mother would take from him and how much shit he gets from my father. I never really understood his perspective until i got older and started experiencing it myself. I understand why he did most of the things he did before and realized what he was going through. the amount of times he has ran away and just kept to himself made sense.Now to you parents, do you think tracking your kids is right? especially being 18 and grown up? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3m51omR
