Were your parents hard on you?

Question

I don't know if you can call it hard on me..

If I wanted something at an early age I had to work for it I had to pay for it

If I had something that was broken I had to fix it or pay for it to get fixed so I would rather fix it.
. . So I kind of looked at everything as if it was easy because if all I had to do was work to get something that was no problem

They had the rules and I had to follow them and they were all easy except for.
When my stepdad would hear that I did something but he didn't hear the whole story and he would beat me with a belt and I thought that was out of line I thought that was f***** up he did that from 5 to 10 years old. and. I never really understood that and then one day. he accuse me of something I didn't do. And as he started beating on me I just said you're not going to make me cry no more. Because I didn't do what you said I did. That pissed him up even more and then they got a divorce . And then at 10 years old and telling me that I am now the man of the house I have to take care of my mom my sister and my brother that was quite a line.

And then I understood that no matter what they were doing they were just trying to make me become a good person

And I wouldn't trade it for a thing because when I had my son my daughter I promise I would do the complete opposite of him just to prove to him you don't have to meet somebody up to make them be a good person. But he was just doing what was done to him that's all he thought that's the way you did it... I new different.
And I learned you don't need to hit you don't need to yell you don't need to scream you don't need to take away things you don't need to put them on restriction what you do is you give them more responsibility.

As a child, my parents printed out homework for me to do and rented books from the library for me to read and to write a summary of the book in a short amount of time. Whenever I needed help with my homework from school, my parents (mostly my dad because he only makes time for my studies) takes their anger and frustrations out on me by yelling whopping my ass all because they had to repeat themselves when helping me with my homework. During the final days of my 9th grade semester in high school, I was given a classroom selection sheet to determine what classes I wanted to take in the 10th grade. I wasn't required to show my parents the sheet, but I showed them because I wanted to let them know what classes I wanted to take in the 10th grade. My parents didn't like the classes I chose. We argued and then they changed my classes to their liking and I had to take those classes in 10th grade and that made me hate them forever. I can't choose anything good for myself without getting approval from my controlling-authoritarian ass parents.

My parents were pretty easy on me. My mother was strict in general but she let me miss school whenever I wanted. Though she used to get mad easily and shout a lot. My dad he was more laid back and he didn't care what I did, but he wanted me in school. He used to put me down a lot, I'm not sure if he was teasing me or if he really meant the things he said, so I kind of always felt like a disappointment to him. He also would hit me randomly if he was mad at my mother, my mom never knew until I was older and I told her. I also would bug him a lot on purpose so he would hit me, like call him a fat ass or a dumb fuck and run away.. not sure why but it used to be a fun past time to get chased down then beat with a belt lol.

My parents were strict, but not hard. In other words, they gave me rules that some wouldn't (no rated R movies, no cussing, we went to church weekly, etc.) but they weren't abusive. In short, they were good parents.

My dad was but my mom wasn't. Guess which divorced parent I didn't enjoy seeing?

I fucking hate that shit. You either explain it to me and make me want to do it or I'm going to do my own thing for the most part. I'm not your fucking slave.

My parents weren't hard on me at all. I was a pretty good kid and I don't think I did much of anything to get them upset as it turned out.
