Wtf is up with this bullshi.t?
What is up with the backseat modding??

I think it was a valid post. Its merely stating, stop being such an immature, whingy little shytehawk and appreciate them while you have them.
Instead of being all like "wah wah wah she said i have to clean my room!"

god almighty.

Lol when I read that I was instantly reminded of this

Also I don't think there's a large generation gap at all. Maybe Fad's parent's were just losers when they were young:P

Daddy is deceptively old, Mammy just was not cool.....

Kinda wanna do Engineering next year, I dont think I want to still do Science (Not sure) but anytime my mum talks about it, her response is invariably "But Conor, Science is one of those course that are safe" to which I promptly respond saying "You are talking through your hole". I wouldnt mind, but she has absolutely no idea what she's talking about......Engineering is applied science and I'm pretty sure I'd come out even more employable after it.

Have to work on that......

Future career prospects:

Science: Work in a lab.
Engineering: Build shit.

I really like my parents, my dad is in his mid 50's but acts like a teenager! It's always him and me slagging each other and being extremely sarcastic and somehow my mum has to put up with this! The only thing that gripes me now is my mum asking me every day do i have my college work finished or what not, it's pretty much the only thing that i can think of that annoys me otherwise i have a brilliant relationship and can count myself very lucky.

As some one who did part of a science course and then dropped sideways into engineering I can honestly tell you to get the hell out of the science course now if you really want to get out. Science is a good course if you truly love it and want to push it all the way, but you do need to love it.

Also make sure you go into an omnibus course, engineering is vary broad and no one really nows what they actually like until the start doing it.

Make up stupid pointless nicknames for me, and then call me by said stupid pointless nicknames when my friends are around.
My dad is obsessed with food.....it's 8 in the moning, I don't care if you're making steak for dinner, food is the last thing I want to think about now!

D4RK ONION · 31-01-2010 2:45am

Have they ever called you Rubber Soul?

Jay P · 31-01-2010 2:55am

My Mam insists on ringing me pretty much every single day. I know she worries, and I know she doesn't see me a whole lot, but still. Once or twice during the week would be plenty!

"Text me when you're on the way home".

But... won't you see me when I get home?!

Luno · 31-01-2010 3:14pm

Over protectiveness! Seriously my mam freaks if I'm out any bit late but if it had been one of my brothers when they were my age they would have been staying out all night and not a word would be raised!
Then when I mention it I get some bull like its because your a girl

Another thing would be that my parents have no trust with me what so ever and I haven't done anything that would make them feel this way (not that they know of anyways)

But having said that, I love my parents and appreciate that its their way of trying to protect me etc..

Mine-

1)Mine insist on my room being spotless at all times, even though nobody is ever in my room except me and as I have a state exam approaching in June,a clean room is the least of my worries

2)They give out about ridiculous things-I go out about once a fortnight,when I work hard at school I'm entitled to a night out!!

You?

OMG, if that is ALL you have to worry about you have very nice parents!!!!. My dad was terrible, always drunk and used to physically abuse me. He could not care about my room or me going out. I think your parents are reasonable and responsable. I think you need a reality check.
Did you buy the room you are living in? I presume you parents pay the mortgage.

Also -leaving aside your parents- tidy room = tidy mind, far easier to study. Unless your room is a suite 40sq meters I am sure it will only take 10 mins to clean a day.

Instead of her ringing why don't you give her a buzz. or atleast a text.

Because I can survive without my Mammy during the week.

sarahlulu · 31-01-2010 7:06pm

I'd love to go back in time to when I thought it wasn't important to ring my Mam and spend time with her, and I would give myself a slap. I thought she would always be here.

"Where are you going?". Town. "With who?". Oh you know, the lads. "What lads?". Eh, the same lads I always go town with! "Oh right...and they are?"

Every ****ing time! Good god it ain't like I'm going out to buy smack or something, I'm going into town with my friends!

highlydebased · 20-02-2010 11:57pm

Where are you going? Why? TODAY? What! Who's that? And what'll you be doing with her? Dont go eating rubbish now! What time are you coming home at? Where are ye going to? What'll you be drinking?

Mine are savage compared to my friends' parents.
Da-Argue about every second day over something miniscule, he sings just to piss me off and he tries to be funny about stupid things.
Ma-Lets me go out, drink but she's not irresponsible, if ya get me.:p
Once ya get over the nagging there pretty cool, for oldies.:D

degausserxo · 23-02-2010 10:29pm

It doesn't p*ss me off, but it's so incredibly embarrassing.

My parents spend four months outta twelve in Spain, and whenever I visit them, my dad INSISTS on wearing the most shameful tshirt of all time.

'It's not a beer belly, it's a fuel tank for a sex machine.'

YOU'RE 61 ;_______________;

Just because your father was a waste of space doesn't give you an exclusive right to complain.

Like I hate when you give out about food and someone goes 'oh you have no right to complain, people in Africa would be glad of that'

If those same starving people wer brought up in my culture, they would complain equally about their dinner if they didn't enjoy it.

Think about it...

people give out all the time, always, everyone - its how we communicate. The sooner I learnt that the easier it was to get what I want

seriously? you've no right to be saying anything about his family/life.if you want to be talking like that go and play in 4chan

I'll agree with you on this one,quality is a matter of perspective,but so are problems.An untidy room for someone might be a big thing,whereas depression might just be a part of life for someone else.

but here's one for both of you: neither of you has to care what the other one says,I grew up with an alchoholic in the house,guess what:it happens,get on with and stop complaining,life's too short to spend it whinging

Ash_M · 24-02-2010 11:29pm

Get on pretty well the aul pair, sort of learnt to appreciate them after a while :rolleyes:
Although it does mildly irritate me when I'm heading out and my da wants to know exactly where I'm headed. I don't know, I haven't been there yet. I'll tell you tomorrow. "Town", "the pub" and "out" are going to have to suffice for now.

esio trot · 24-02-2010 11:39pm

My dad has a habit of dragging his leg and pretending to be simple when we go anywhere in an effort to embarrass me, on one occasion he wore a deflated basketball on his head in a bowling alley while sitting on the steps with his eyes crossed. On another occasion we were in Italy at this resort and there was this girl I liked so every time she walked past the pool he would shout across "ah bikini bikini, my son he likes you" in his worst Italian accent. Cue me running to the toilets to hide in shame.

Things your parents do that p*ss you off
