They were too closed-minded.
-
They were in a cult.
-
Sounds lame, but I have no complaints about my mom. She was, and still is a great mom. My dad was never around, but by my teenage years I was over it.
-
Talking gibberish when they were drunk.
-
My complaint was, they wouldn't listen. It would make me so angry that they would just like, close their ears and not listen. That was what most of the fights were about. If they would stop being arrogant assholes for 1 second they would realize the problem! In fact, afterward they would say things like "I had no idea" or "Why didn't you tell me"- I'd be like, "I fucking tried, okay"?!

Sorry for the bad answer, I didn't read the question right. My actual answer is when my parents follow me around.
-
They would not let me get a acell phone!

not understanding that i forget things easily. i would always forget to do something and my mom would get on my ass for forgetting stuff, and she didn't even know what it was like! and the fact that she wouldn't believe me when i was pissed off at a teacher, like the time my math teacher sent me to the office for not writing down notes, even though i was paying attention to the lecture. she REALLY didn't understand what went on unless she was there, and she wasn't so, too bad for me!

Nothing really, except for when my mother punished me for not getting good grades in school. I understand why she felt the need to, but still don't appreciate it, as I see school as a waste of time.

They were stupid, but they are much smarter now. +5

they were not rich nor powerful.

They kept repeating the phrase: "Since you live in MY HOUSE, eat at MY EXPENSE, use things that I BOUGHT for you, you gonna do like I said". It totally ruined my desire to live with them and depend on them, so I did everything possible to get independent and take off from their property asap. Even tho I live on the other side of a planet from them, I still feel guilty that I ate THEIR bread and lived at THEIR expense all my childhood. Can't get rid of this feeling. :( Plus, they used to beat me. I learned from it how to NEVER treat your child if you don't want to lose their faith in you and respect.

The problem I had with them was their strict-ness. I was to be home by 5pm...no later, for dinner. I couldn't stay out past 9pm, even on the weekends.
-
I never had any complaints about them. Sure, I didn't like to do my chores but I think that everyone in a family should help out. I didn't like painting all the trim around our house either, but again, it wasn't a big deal. They were reasonable, but protective.
-
I never complained about them to other people ever. But I had lots of complaints in my mind.
-
Step parents never believed any thing i said...
-
Questions, questions and more questions! Stop constantly monitoring me! And i hate the interrogation D=

I'm the oldest, and they were a lot tougher on me than they were on my younger siblings. I got grounded once for 3 MONTHS for ditching 1 class like 6 times. Then when the discovered that my younger sister ditched almost 30 times they were like "Oh well." Pissed me off......
-
they never let me be alone, always constant hover. I don't want attention, I just get it. Never any quiet with them. I love them but gosh LEAVE ME ALONE! And my mom doesnt always knock on my door before coming in, she just comes in and starts talkng...non-stop. I love them but I need space.
