Why Is Pleasing My Parents Harder Than Calculus? 🤯

Every afternoon, I race home from school, hoping to finally get ahead of my never-ending to-do list. But no matter how many boxes I check—homework, chores, even walking the dog—my parents always seem to have a new task waiting for me. If I ace my math test, suddenly my closet needs organizing. If my room is spotless, it's time to help set the table for dinner. Sometimes, I just want to chill with my friends or scroll through my phone without feeling guilty. But the rules at home never seem to pause, and when I try to talk about how overwhelmed I feel, it’s like my parents only notice what I haven’t done yet. Does anyone else feel like they’re stuck in a game they can’t win? If you’ve ever felt this way, I’d love to hear your story. Maybe together, we can figure out how to make our parents proud—without losing ourselves along the way. 🫠 #FamilyStruggles #ParentChildRelationship #TeenLife #FamilyRelationships
