Parents force me to do stuff with my injured hands

9 Comments

I badly scraped my hands by falling accidentally off some stairs before hitting concrete. A good couple chunks of my skin is missing on both hands. It hurts like hell, feels like someone’s putting hot coal onto them. Despite my ability to move or bend my left hand (My right is much better than the left) my parents force me to do things that’ll further strain my injury.

I don’t wanna sound like a sulky crybaby but I’m worried that the things my parents make me do will only have my hands hurt longer.

I have to attend cello lessons, my parents are really pressuring me to practice because if I don’t theyll cancel my lessons.

My mother insists that I “Broke my hand on purpose to avoid playing the cello or doing chores” I’m so amazed by my parents dumb ideas and thoughts.. it angers me.

How do I explain their thick skulls that I need to let my hands rest?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    This is unacceptable. That was my first thought I had just by reading the title. As soon as I read the description, I was repulsed even more. I think it's unfortunate for a person to be obligated to perform any kind of tasks that are not appropriate for them to perform while they are trying to let an injury heal. I can relate to what you are feeling because I have been injured in the past as well. Your parents need to understand that your injury will last longer if your hands are used for activities that are currently too strenuous for them. Perhaps you can explain to them (in many different ways) that you need to refrain from doing chores or playing the chello because those activities make you miserable due to your current condition. I think it's a shame that people seem to lack such compassion. If it's possible and/or necessary, then perhaps you could stay at someone else's house if all else fails.

    Seriously, I hope you feel better soon. Get plenty of rest and try to eat healthy foods so that you can boost your recovery.

    Wow...that's quite harsh of them. That's not the usual parenting technique, I've got to say

    goto your next cello lesson and tell the teacher your hands are very sore and you would like a few weeks off to recover. tell them your being forced to go
