If only being a daughter is a kind of work.............I will surely quit!

I know how you feel. If parents could be divorced I would have done that a long time. lmao...especially my dad. I use to be like that, I use to just listen and keep quiet...but I guess I got fed up. So now I talk back to my dad. Especially when his wrong. But I don't do that with my mom.

I feel the same.Even if I fight back,I'd end up getting hurt physically and emotionally.you know I want to leave home badly but I just can't support myself as of now.All I can do is study,graduate,and get a good job.They'll be eating what they have said to me if I become successful which I am sure of.

I am an only daughter and I have 3 siblings. I didn't have the same experience with you because my parents consider me as an asset. Well, I don't know. Maybe personality-wise we're quite different that's why you end up having problems as an only daughter. I don't keep quiet when they scold me and I'm sure it wasn't my fault. But if it's my fault, I'd gladly shut-up. You should not let them push you around. That's not healthy. You should learn to reason. I was quite going to that direction before. But after finishing my Degrees, I have finally gotten a better respect and now we get along pretty well. Yeah, it's good to respect your elders, but only if they know how to respect you too. Be honest about how you feel, and never let them bully you just because they can't scold your brothers. Plus, by not knowing how to scold your brothers, they're actually creating spoiled brats in them. Good luck to you.

i know what you are feeling right now, however, this is my advice to you, your father loves you so much. if you think he is hurting you, he doesnt intend to do that.your father have been through a lot to give you and your siblings the best he could give. just be more patient. instead of spite, show him more love.

for me, being a daughter...is work. i babysit my 6 yr old brother 6 days of the week and i am paid $50 to clean the house and keep quiet when they feel like yelling at me. what i did to get the $50? i told my mother i felt like an unpaid-live in-nanny in my own home. for a while she was hurt but then she started to realize these things and knowing she couldn't stop having me babysit and clean...eased up on me as far as fighting and yelling and pays me $50/week to babysit and keep the house presentable. if you don't feel in harms way for doing it, just talk to your father...tell him how you feel. and if things don't go how you want...just wait it out. eventually you'll be able to get out on your own...but don't do it until you're for sure ready and know you can make it on your own. living day to day not sure if you can make it is not a way to live.

Like you, I am also an only daughter and I have two brothers, too. Hmmm... You can speak up what you really feel. Have that heart to heart talk with your parents. Never consider being a daughter as a work, or as a burden. Let your parents know what you feel and that what your father does to you (scolding you for sins you didn't make) hurt you. Just take it one step at a time. Hope things will be alright. :) Good luck and God bless! =]

I think the best thing to do is tell your dad about how you feel...
