why are parents so gay?

[JR77]

I totally agree with everything that Fengzi said! Hey Fengzi I'm 36, too!

Anywhoo...Your parents are just trying to look out for you...don't be too mad at them! However I am an extremely good liar - this comes in handy!

Just so you know, too...you'll never change their mind....My parents still yell at me for shit at age 36 - Hang in there...

My foster parents were seriously hardcore against any kind of drugs, or drinking. They had to be, to keep on the good side of the juvenile court system. So, when I was 17, greatly desiring to take control of my own life, I joined the Army and became my own man. You could probably go that route too, if getting out from under your parents is a goal (which it should be at age 19).

Get some job skills, money for college, travel the world (and kill people occasionally, perhaps). You don't have to be a huge muscle-bound guy either; I weighed like 100 pounds when I joined, at 5'10". I had to slouch four inches off my height when they measured height, get a medical waiver from a doctor AND not shit for a week (that was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life there) to pass the minimum weight requirement. Anyway, you do have that option, and it's not all bad.

Dude I feel you on the whole, I cant just jump out and move awayThing. You have to find someone to live with and, around here places are not cheap. Well any ways yes your parents need to chill the fuck out. If you say you have never failed a class. And assuming you havent been alot of trouble over pot. Then I would talk to them, and if there not agreeing then say chill the fuck out. Shit im gone be 21 soon and Im still living at home, my parents dont like me smoking but they sorta got used to it, and the fact I advoide them when im high. But they got over the whole weed thing like 2 years ago.

lol, you aren't kidding.

I wish my parents just complained about me smoking, instead of 'why aren't you married yet' or 'are we ever going to get grandchildren?' or 'you should lose some weight' or 'why didn't you ever go back for your ph.D?' or 'you know, you should really mow your lawn more often. Your house looks like hippies live here!' or 'you should have never broken up with that nice boy who took you to prom, he's SOOO handsome' and on and on.

They just care. ( I keep telling myself that)

The talk that you need to have with your mother is respecting your personal space.

The talk that you need to have with your dad is not being a hypocrite if he really does smoke with you and your friends, he should be honest with your mother about that.

I dunno, they just are. But I only have 2 more years till I'm legal so I'll put up with their BS until then .

[Nochowderforyou]

actually i paid 800 bucks for the lap top im on right now, over the summer i loaned my mom 1000 but when she found the 'pot stuff' she said she would never give me money again

How does paying $800 benifit for your parents paying for your food, clothing, abnd shelter? I'm sure she's really glad you spent that on yourself instead of rent or groceries. Not too mention a $1000 loan? A loan, to your mother? She's your mom man and $1000 cover maybe 2% of what YOU have cost over the course of 19yrs. Way to be greedy man. :thumbsup:

I think Oneironaut pretty much sums it up :thumbsup:

Talk to your mum. If you haven't failed classes like you said, and you're leading a good healthy lifestyle, then she'll have to see reason. Just talk to her, respect her opinions and the fact that she cares, and don't get angry.

Peace.

apparently you need to go back and learn a thing or two... >.< parent's never have to see reason, and they rarely ever do. don't you remember the classic "because i said so, that's why" ..... ahh yes that's funny a parent having to see reason lol..

[Kid Dynamite]

suck it up, is all i can say. And be more shady in the future.

[Dazed4now]

i paid $100 a month so i could smoke in my room they said "its our house, dont wanna live under our rules? pay rent or get out" so pay rent it was, i was 16 and really couldnt sign for anything, wouldnt call it gay....more like helping me out?

Being a parent is hard. You want to make your kids happy and you want to do the right thing. Unfortunately the two rarely coincide. Plus, its not like 2+2=4, water freezes at 32F, or the capital of Texas is Austin. In other words, there usually isn't any "right answer" . You do what you think is best and you have to make those decisions on the fly. Parent's say things like "because I said so" because it sounds a hell of a lot better than "I made that decision because I really had no fucking idea what to do"
