Here's another everyday-related topic: PARENTS...
Yes...we see them everyday...we live with them for 15 years and so on so forth...
We get angry at them over issues...took their years of hardwork for granted...and yet...we love them...
I must admit, i sometimes do feel like i wished i had someone elses' parents...so..ok...let's count the faults parents have:
1) They are totally busy-body...constantly poking their noses in our business even though you've printed the word 'private' on your forehead..and they want to know what we do every waking hour!
2) They like to treat us like we do not know anything
3) They compare us to the straight A student next door
4) They HATE our fashion sense
5) They think our rooms are as messy as a pig sty (ok...so maybe this one is partly true)
How do we deal with this?
1) Well...we can't always yell at them to stay out of our lives ('cause let's face it: they're already in it)...but when they start rattling on about hormones and the birds and bees stuff...that we can do without. seriously, they can really underestimate everything we do...and i mean everything...from fashion sense to academic-wise...to even the kitchen and our bedroom!! everything we do is WRONG...well...that part we hate, but we can't blame our parents for doing their job...come on...sometimes we do want to be cuddled and all...after all...when we get into trouble, they will have to take the blame...tongues will start wagging and it wouldn't be about us...it's our parents who will bare the responsibility...
But sometimes, we DO want the FREEDOM!! The freedom to express ourselves through music (yea...my mum hates the punk rock that i blast through my speakers)...the freedom to dress (my mum thinks i should be more feminine...with frills and pink stuff and all...yuck!)...the freedom to prance around the room like nobody's business and make a mess out of things...the freedom to rollerblade at home (hahaha...marble flooring is the best surface to skate on)...the freedom to just feel good about ourselves without having to care about them breathing down our backs telling us that everything we do is never RIGHT...
This part of our parents: WE HATE...
But look at the side which we LOVE...
1) They make all our food with extra love
2) Although they wouldn't admit it...they secretly wish we do not need to grow up so fast (they want us to be kids where they can play with and tickle..aw...and...er...and maybe growing up is wasting their money...but let's pretend we don't know that)
3) They want us to have a good future (explains the nagging and stuff)
4) They will eventually get us what we want after we sulk (it won't look good on us too...but it works)
5) They've done so much to make us who we are today...and that's what's important...
