how do i plan a self getaway day from parents?
tldr : authoritative parents, wanna have an “1 escape day per week for myself where i do things i want for a whole day” but dk how to “lie” to parents 💀
hihi so for context, im currently in a household where my parents are like literally fckin breathing down my throat for everything i do. and the home env is rlly like burning me out cos my parents have never been the same since i didnt do well for PSLE + forced me to choose subjects and paths that i didnt even want (sometimes they knew but they don’t care) + forced me to fcking be buddhist even tho im not spiritually connected 💀💀💀 PLS FREE ME BRO
and they always love to blame every failure and every setback on my lack of hard work, bitch DID U NOT SEE ME STUDYING HARD, like EVERYTHING I DO IS ALL FOR YALLS SAKE. like the number of nights i’ve cried abt my life is insane. they rlly love to manipulate me and gaslight me into thinking im stupid and worthless too. and they’ve done this multiple times.
they love to compare me to my ofc more accomplished friends and js putting me down and degrading wtv i put in, like i got burnt out during o level season cos of them ofc (wonder who forced me to go for tuition classes even when i said im tired and didn’t need them 😣😣😣) but anyways, like the other day i told them i might retake o levels cos i rlly felt i underperformed for o levels + hoping that the miracles on reddit do come true [parents LOVE using them spending money and not me being a good son as an excuse to blame me for my failures 😡] and i rlly js wanna end it but idw to. not to mention, they’re rlly authoritative & dictative too.
so i wanna have like a few days for myself outside where i do and eat wtv i want (once a week till dec cos my father will be back till then and i wanna escape for js 1 day a week)
but the thing is they’re on me, like i rlly can’t think of lies to persuade them to let me cos going out with frnds —>> they demand pics every hour + they want the ACTUAL pics of ppl 😭😭😭so pls help me guyss, my sanity is at risk here,like having these days cld rlly help me allow myself to prep how to deal with them for potentially bad o level results for example..
