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.

Cringeworthy:p Love the username by the way. That was my favorite book during my younger years.

My dad doesn't listen/answer questions unless you repeat them about 5 times.

My mum just doesn't realise what a fabulous daughter I am.

Other than that, they're pretty awesome. Except when they dance.......

When they fail to protect me


But my parents are pretty fúcking amazing

I am so very lucky to have them

tell me I'm shit

ah,they're not all bad.What with the feeding and the college and stuff

wayhey

When they don't listen to you because of your age (although they listen a bit more now. I mean, my brother's older but a total waster and they listen to him more)

Example:
Me (for weeks): "Ma that filter there is floating in the jug. There's lime in the water coming out. It's not filtering the water, it needs to be replaced
<changes subject completely to avoid talking about it...subtle as a brick>
Ma: "Hmmm I wonder how much milk I should buy today?"
<Aunt comes in>
Aunt: ROFLCOPTR wtf is up with that jug? Fail.
Ma: Really?
<buys a new one the next day>

:mad:

be cool if my aunt actually spoke like that...

"Get off that laptop and go to bed!"
"It's only half ten... and like... I'm twenty one..."
"UNDER MY ROOF YOU'LL DO WHAT I TELL YOU!"

Extrasupervery

When they give me lectures saying they're always there for me and I can tell them anything when they're not and I can't.

Thats fair enough. It's not like your a child. If you were in a B&B or a hotel you would have to adhere to the rules. Just because your 21 why should you be allowed to do want you want. If you hate it that much.............move out

No but they tell you what time to leave, have your breakfast, when the washing can be done what time the rooms can be cleaned. And if you don't like it it's tough!!!!!

Have you never stayed in a hotel or something?

Yeah and if you bought a house and rented a room to some college student and he was wrecking your head for what ever reason surely you would say something and not just let it lie

I'm not really sure what your problem is, and tbh I couldn't be bothered arguing with you right now so yeah, whatever.

Ugh where do i start...

Father: arrogant and ignorant pig, trying to wind me up, trying to preach to me about things i specialise in, telling me i'm a know it all, he has one of those faces you just want to punch like Craig Doyle's face, wearing embarassing cowboy hats to all of my competitions and stupid pink shirts and builders trousers, pretending he is a model father to other people while he acts like a pig at home, asking me to be a good boy and make him tea and when i refuse he persists and i eventually getup and boil the kettle...he then says good boy..DIE.

Mother:Actually is a lovely person.

patakadarragh

Oh yes and their taste in music:

Father: Jonny Cash, goodsometimes but try listening to someone singing "country boy" terribly the whole way up to dublin!!!
Also country western stuff e.g crystal swing ..DIE

Mother: Bruce Springsteen so she is cool.

How my mother picks when to care, I left my house Sunday evening didn't show up at home till Monday afternoon and when she saw me she said
"Come to get the rest of your stuff?"
I mean she wasn't worried where I had stayed the night before not even a phone call but then if I do stuff she'll be all protective and be like oh they're not the nicest bunch...

Make up your mind woman! :mad:

Tbh i dont blame her for being worried...Goin missing for a night is a bit to far to not expect them to be pissed.

No see she didn't care about that, she could have rang me but she didn't...
She told my brother that I had run away...

But if lets say I was an hour late coming home she'd be roaring...

patakadarragh

Ooooh right gotcha.....she is inconsistent in her giving out!

Father: Gets pissed off at work stuff and then takes it out on me about ridiculous ****. Yes I am getting the bus somewhere in the middle of the day for an hour. It has nothing to do with you in the slightest. You are in no way inconvenienced, so shut the **** up. Then he gives out about taking holidays, now he's taking them next week and is like we're doing something for them I'm not hanging around and its like I have plans for next week, work plans.

Otherwise they both do this: I don't drink/do drugs/smoke/ go out/ stay out past 11 ever. I get fantastic grades and I'm never in trouble at school. I snuck out to a youth group a few times without telling them (During the day may I add). I am now the worst child since Damien.

I hates when you're having an argument and they give you the "im the parent/adult/its my house" line thing. Coz it shows they dont have a proper reason for wanting you to do such a thing. And if they cant think up a proper reason why should I do it?
Also when they ignore the fact their idea of wrong could be different to others.. Dad gets up at 8-9am every day thats his doing, but its not *wrong* for me to stay in bed later..(okay maybe 1 is pushing it, still though..)

Get on grand with both my parents, I was sitting with my friends in a square today and my dad passed and gave us the middle finger, what a legend! The only annoying thing is asking what I'm doing when I'm heading out.
Everytime i see him aswell even if we were only talking 5 minutes ago he says " Ya alright biy".

xxchloexx

Texts me "where are you ring me............Mam." i can see you sent the text i dont need you to sign it thank you very much

My dad shouts so loud , hes scottish so his voice is quite scary , he doesn't realise he's doing it but if hes calling my brother upstairs or something you would honestly think there is murder in the house ha.

Oh they open my bedroom door look in and then walk out leaving the door open i dont no why ??

My mam also buys me condoms alot , i dont think she realises im on the pill.... she just thinks she's being cool and understanding. If I needed condoms my boyfriend will buy them not you mam thanks.

It hasn't always been great, and it still isn't perfect, but things are a lot better between the folks and me than when I was a kid. Your parents can be idiots, hypocrites, losers, and downright f**kers- but they're just real people, the same as you in other words. When you realise that, it can be a bit of a shock, but it's kind of freeing in a way too.

Personally, when I look at the sacrafices that've been made for me, parental love is kind of insane/amazing.

By the way, this thread reminded me of a poem in our LC poetry book:

Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse

They **** you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were ****ed up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

I get on well enough with my parents, but spending all this time at home because of summer holidays is making me want to hurt my mother :mad:

I can't understand any of the decisions my dad makes either. Like today, he told me I'm not allowed go on a certain walk on my own, as it's too dangerous. I have been going on this walk by myself since about 1st year, WTF?
