Day Four;

Day Four; One Negative habit I would like to eliminate from my life.

Again, just like the positive habits, there is a whole bunch of negative habits I'd want to eliminate from my life, such as: not being tidy, talking back to my parents, spending all my money on things I don't need etc etc. I think that the one habit that really sticks in my mind right now as needing to be eliminated is talking back to my parents. 

Since the start of my teenage years I've been one of those kids who can't seem to keep my mouth shut when I know I probably should and although this does happen with both my parents, it is more often occurs when the problem is, my dad. I get my back-chat nature from my dad. He never knows when to shut up. My dad goes on and on about things, usually involving how the house is a mess in some way, and that pisses him off because he likes a tidy house, but it bugs the rest of us because, he only ever seems to get mad at nighttime when we are all trying to relax.
Me being the oldest child (of two) seems to get most of the blame quite often, and me being me, I can't help but get mad back, which does tend to make it worse. And it definitely doesn't help that my remarks are often rude, sarcastic and snarky. I'm sorry.. I just can't help it.
But it's not always my dad, like I said, it is my mum too. Kids always have arguments with their parents, it's normal, but I still talk back and I'm 19 years old and I think that it's about time to get my reflex responses under some control. I don't like arguing, it stresses me out, so I really want to try and work on this talking back thing. So this week, I'm gonna try my hardest not to talk back to either of my parents about anything. I will handle any situation like a responsible adult, or at least, I'll try and then hopefully if I succeed, I'll continue controlling myself.
