Your use of archaic English is improper.
“Thou wilt not let me do anything! I hate thee!”
“Thou lettest me not do anything! I hate thee!”

Teenagers! What are you going to do with them? Even back then they butchered the language.

Thou *permittest* me not to do anything, might be more on target. Or you could say, “Thou lettest me from doing any manner of pleasant thing” since “let” can mean “hinder”.
But if he is speaking to both he would not use “thou” or, obviously, the appropriate 2nd person singular terminations. -

“Art thou permitting me not to goeth awayeth. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turneth about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth!”
This is the way I usually talk after my medication kicketh in.
