Especially when I'm around.

Don't you hate it that other people's parent's are better than yours?

well, duh!

my friend's parents over the weekend were really protective. they were neat, though. her dad liked to burst out into song.

My parents stopped caring when they got to me, since I was the youngest they hardly had any energy left to be overprtective.

my brother and i are interesting children and needed/need a wee bit of guidance (well, mostly my brother) but my folks give me some leeway. my dad has to accompany me to deerhoof because none of my friends who know them know if they can go, but i don't really care.

But what sucked about my childhood is I had at least ten operations before I turned 16.

I know! When I got here I felt so unproductive. It was a mighty, mighty feeling. For me it's just the constant distrupting every 5 minutes to give me a job. Sure they're "preparing me" for the real world, but overly. They need to do the work themselves to prepare themselves for retirement. They're so...naggy and annoying. They remind me of mosquitos.

I actually talked to a social worker about them tonight. She said that they probably just were brought up that way and learned from their parents, but they really SHOULD understand that they're doing too much, and that every child is different. It was a good conversation.

That sucks. Much sympathy to ya

That's a good way to bond with him for sure! My parents would never go to one of the shows that I go to. They went to one of my brother's really obsure noise shows, and they had to leave because they thought it was funny that people considered it music.

Nah don't worry I had so much time out of school. It worked out perfectly.

i've had a few friends that have had a lot of surgeries/things like that. big hugs, man.

rob- heh, dad couldn't give less of a crap about "bearclaw" (as he calls them, with sarcasm) but he's trying. before the death cab concert he had me quiz him about their albums and videos.

That's good

My Mom was and still is very protective. My Dad and I always got along really well. I got along with my Mom also. Just not as well.

I used to love hanging out with my mom, except when she started forcing me to go to church.

Thanks Jade.

i'm closer to my mom just because i live with her and she's my mom, but dad and i are ok. sean inherited (i guess) the aspergers from my dad, so sometimes i end up talking to him like i have to with sean.

nvm

Exactly! I'd love to have a stepdad like that. My stepdad just ignores everyone, watches TV, and goes to work, and would never be sarcastic in a humoristic manner to me. And I'd think he went crazy if he asked me to quiz him

TRIPlE POST

My Dad and I are both big smart asses. My mom always takes offence to it..

I love my Dad he is funny and sarcastiche is always making jokes. Last time I told him I was going to take a shower, he with a serious face said to me, Don't Take a shower. I said "why?" he said to me still in a serious face " Because the water is wet."

ack. you should try one day.

the guy that i think will be my stepdad (mom's boyfriend) is interesting. he's really funny and likes to act like a big kid.


victor- no prob.

my nan used to want to go to church after we stopped going (we went three times the past.. six years or so) but she got over that.

haha. i do that with sean. i tell him that he has to wait for the water to get wet enough before he can shower and he just goes "JADE BE SERIOUS".
