My parents are.....okish i guess. In small doses, they're great. In big doses, they can be painful and tiring.
The main thing is that...well...they never seem to be satisfied with what i do. If i'm not thinking, then i'm not talking properly, or i'm not being considerate, or whatever's the flavour of the day this time around. Plus, they seem to have this bee in their bonnet about how no matter what, they're always right, and i'm always wrong, for some reason.
What i find strange is that a lot of the problems they seem to have with me, nboody else at all seems to have...i don't know why. :P
Another thing about my parents, is that they seem to have a big push for political correctness. Basically, in a lot of situations with them, if you don't think, say, and do exactly the way they want you to, then you're in shit. Why? I don't know.
Other than that, they're great...you just gotta live within their limits and remember that they're the big guns in town, and you're not. :P
Same here, I always got along with my dad but my mom and I were always at eachothers throats. Now I call them almost every day and havn't had a bad word with them in ages!
Though if I visit for more than a weekend it starts to get up there
Do they post on the P&D boards here ?
Perfect
Me and my dad are too alike so when we get along it's great but when we fight it's not good.
I love them both and respect them both but they do both do my head in !
With my Mum it's a different story. She's very stressy and always shouts which drives me mad. She can't take a joke which doesn't help and I can't say anything without hearing a big sigh from her, it's always wrong whatever I say.
I doubt it...for them, even turning a computer ON is a major challenge, let alone engaging in political debates on internet forums
:yes:
I move back out in a week! Alle fecking ujah!
mm yeah, what an essay!
They both have the tendency to be very annoying, but endearing with it, and they'd do anything for me. Can't ask for more than that. Except they could buy me a pony. I've been pushing that one for decades, and it remains fruitless
I live at home, just me mum and dad...Me and my mum are practically sisters/best friends, and my dad's just sort of 'there' in the background.
I'm too emotionally dependant on them, and I think my mum's too dependant on my company so it's going to be weird when I do eventually move out and get my own life (won't be until I've finished my degree, I'll be 24 aaah)
I get on well with my dad, always end up talking business and similar.
My mum has mental health issues. We get on well, but she can be very frustrating at times...
She's the polar opposite of me though, I'm an emotional boy by my own admission but if I called her and was upset down the phone then she'd probably tell me to "snap out of it" or something. It keeps me balanced out though. I'm still the black sheep though, she's not getting any younger and I'd just love to make her right proud of me one day like she is of my brothers and sister.
My Dad I maybe get on with better. We can banter about football and that, and since he's been ill I've naturally grown closer to him. I think he wants the best for me too, but I'm not sure he's got that much faith in me.
So to sum up, one day I hope to make them as proud of me as I am of them.
