Is my Family Overacting over a Kitkat issue?
So I buy a Kit kat for my father and my father hasn't eaten it in 2 days. My sister, Aanya wants to eat it, but I still think my dad will eat it, so I tell her to ask mamu (dad was at work). Instead of asking my mom, she doesn't and lies to me that she said that It's ok. When my dad asks where the kitkat is, Aanya says we ate it, and I tell him that mamu said it was ok to eat it. Mamu says that's a lie, and we found out that Aanya was lying. She lost device privileges, but my family is hurting me more by ratting me out as the bad brother for not saying NO in the first place (but come on, I'm still a kid OK) and that I might be plotting the whole situation (but I really didn't). I'm forced to pay $5 in compensation for letting Aanya eat the kitkat (WHY, I didn't lie) and now that's when I get really pissed. Although I get a $50 monthly allowance, I usually spend most of it by school lunches when my family doesn't have anything to give me. And also because a Kitkat cost FREAKING 50 cents (I also spent I with my own money!)Am I overreacting, for am I angry for a reason?

OmiZ101 Sorry, but your answer is most definitely to broad. I really don't understand which side you're on by simply saying "I don't think so". Please take your time to answer with consideration.

Yes. You are most definitely overreacting. This is all part of life, dude. Get used to it.

Thank you for your comment. I really need to start getting over these small issues, but ever since kindergarten, my school mates bullied me and when I started middle school, my parents started to verbally and physically hurt me for the pettiest reasons. My self esteem is low, to confess, so these situations can hurt me a lot. I'm now in 8th grade and in a new school with better friends, and my self-esteem is now raising. My parents, unfortunately, have never changed. It still hurts me when my parents "bully" me. Thank you for helping me a little with my pains -

I'm always skeptical when kids nowadays say they are being bullied. Especially by their parents. (I hear the same thing from my daughter who is about your age). Most times it's not bullying. It's parenting. Parenting isn't a popularity contest. Your parents are not there to be your buddies. They're there to make you a responsible young man. Another part of life that you'll need to get used to.

I think everyone is overreacting. But your sister lied and that should definitely have consequences! I don't think you should have been punished. Its not your job to parent your sister, unless you are babysitting. Its the parent's job, and you deferred to them. However, as an adult, I'd advise you to go beyond what is reasonable to keep peace at home. One day you will most likely be sorry for every ugly word you said to each of them. And since your parents give you a monthly allowance I'd advise you to buy them each a kit kat to show you really meant no harm. And don't spend your allowance on lunch money. Learn to pack a lunch. Its a lesson that will save you lots of money in the long run. You can make an entire week's worth of lunches for what you would pay for two days lunches at school. And if you refill a water or soda bottle with water to drink instead of sodas you will save money and be healthier. And if you fill it half full of water and freeze it, you can have ice all day, just refill with water. Plus it'll keep your lunch cold if you need it.
