Hi All, I'm so dang sick of my dad's dang attitude! He doesn't like me being on the computer all day. I help out in the house, study, what more does he want! I'm so mad at him sometimes!
He wants you to find something more constructive to do with yourself. You're not going to get very far in life just sitting at a keyboard all day. Take a half hour walk around the block several times, anything to give your legs and heart the exercise they need.
All day? I'd be angry if you were my son, wasting a whole feckin day on a computer, get a life mate.

I'm surprised you'd want to be on the computer all day. Go out there and broaden your horizons.
I know what you mean Katie about on the computer all day. My mum used to say the same about me being on the computer for a while. My sister does it to go on the computer for hours. But some times you should try and find something else to do. I know it isn't easy. But if you help out in the house and that your dad shouldn't complain about it.
Download 87, your dad is entitled to have an opinion on how often you use your computer. However, because you're an adult, you are entitled to make and implement your own independent decision on how often you will use your laptop. Nobody has any right to impose on you restrictions relating to how often you use your computer.
However, this incident is part of a patern. It may be that your parents feel that what they are doing to you is for your benefit. There are many good reasons for them to be concerned about you. However, their approach is wrong. If you wish to be like most normal people in society, i.e the people you may encounter while shopping, in restaurants, in parks etc, you need to develop a reform plan. You could do this yourself, but I think you should allow somebody to help you. That person should address all the things which make you strange, and help you change. Though your parents should support this plan, they shouldn't be the governors of it, and they shouldn't have any influence in it. The plan should be independent of your parents in terms of what it is, how it is implemented etc. They should be willing to cooperate if you want them to cooperate. If you get help in changing, it should come from somebody who will not behave as some authoritarian, but as an equal to you and in a helpful constructive manor. Until this happens, all the problems in your domestic life will continue.
Maybe if you'd stop acting and talking like a child, things would change! I mean come on! You're twenty freakin years old and still talking about how anoying your little sister is? Grow up! You're not five anymore! And for God's sake, take a bath without your parents telling you too! Sounds like someone's gonna be at home all their life.
Agree with Post 6. You need a neutral third party to help you in making some life-changing decisions.
