Maybe you will see it from their side some day if you have a child of your own. I understand my parents better, now that I have a 14 year old. There is a reason your parents "keep saying the same things". It is because you don't show you are listening and understand what they are telling you. If you take care of things (that they are bugging you about), then there is no issue. My daughter gets an allowance for doing her chores (which are clearly defined) WITHOUT BEING ASKED to do them. It is her responsibilty to make sure they get done. If we see things are not being taken care of - NO ALLOWANCE. She has to learn "how things are supposed to be done" before she finds out the hard way (getting fired from a job she needs someday). Sometimes you have to look at life like a buisness, a great part of real life is like that.
