Parents

Every kid reaches the stage in their life where they realize that their parents are...well...lame. And sadly, I've begun to hit that phase and start to strongly dislike my parents.
On one hand, you could consider this a growing-up phase that every kid has to hit eventually, and they will become more dependent upon his or herself by using their best abilities. On the other, you begin to lose relationships with your parents and things that make "home" feel like "home" begin to dissolve into "that place where I live with those nutjobs."
I hate to admit that I have hit the phase where I would love going on a vacation from my parents and not have to talk to them for months on end, but at the same time, I really do admire and appreciate all the things that they do for me.
As I'm sitting here my mom brought a soda over to my desk and said, "Here, have a drink." It made me happy, yet, sad that I'll eventually end up hating their guts for a good year or two. Some people don't ever but I can see it easily happening between me and my dad. We fight way too often for us to continue living in the same house.
I just wish I could show them more appreciation for putting up with my crap. Parents rule. Most of the time.
 
Wow...
I would slightly admire the fact that you wrote this because most people go through this stage (except orphans, ha!)

^But coming from this guy?^

LOL

I'm kidding, slightly...
 
You're right. I think most of us reached (or will reach) a point where our parents drove us crazy. And most of the time, it's because parents have a hard time realizing that their kids are actually people, not just the fruit of their loins (isn't that a brand of underwear?).

Since you realize you'll be spreading those metaphorical wings and moving out, maybe not in the immediate future, but semi-soon, take the time now to thank your mom or dad for whatever (like the soda). It sounds like you appreciate the things they have done and do for you, but be sure they know it. So that when you do move, it's congenial, and not a love/hate thing.

It's hard to keep those lines of communication open, if the door was slammed on the way out.
 
Hahaha I do believe it's 'Fruit of the Loom,' not 'Fruit of the Loin.' Although that would be the most awesome line of baby clothing I would ever see.

Anyway yeah, they do know that I appreciate them it just sucks knowing that that stage is definitely on its way here soon.
 
Well I've hated my mom as long as I can remember...acctually. And my dad, while he's really nice and he acctually cares for me but when we go out to the stores and stuff I am embarresed to be around him. I think part of the reason is becuase he has tumors all over his body and people don't realize that, it was just the way he was born, you can't catch it sort of thing. Alot of my friends have started to dislike their parents. This is what I can say, Keep in touch with them every once a while and just in case you need someone, anyone to fall back on (If you need a place to stay, or eat, ect.) you at least have your parents.
