They aren’t paying for something in your life, they are paying for your life until you get a job. You are a leech until then. Not to mention I respect my parents for other reasons as well, and their willingness to support your life is indicative of their love for you, which is to be respected.
Okay then, so if I were to pay for your taxes and your food, you’d feel obliged to do whatever I said? Conversely, does every kid who has a paper round no longer need to answer to their parents?
I’m not going to respect someone who dictates every little thing I do, which is part of the reason I respect my parents; they’ve always let me live my own life, without distancing themselves.
EDIT: I don’t have a job and I’m not leeching shit off my parents.
^ which is exactly what I want. I’m fine with their advice and all but when they forbid me to be my own person I have a problem.
to be fair if my kid was as dumb as you i wouldnt want them to be their own person either
Your parents do a hell of a lot more for you when you are a kid than pay for your food, they support you until you can become self sustaining (what was meant by job). While they do this, you should respect them enough to usually cooperate with them, and follow the rules of their house (they own it, after all). That said, if its completely illogical or unreasonable, then screw them.
You’re my hero. And I am being serious here.
Yeah, that’s not my point. You were (or at least the post I first replied too was) focused purely on the money.
But yeah, parents should give advice, not orders.
EDIT: @Jokerine <3
Monetary support is for me just another indicator of parents working to help support you, so I equate emotional, monetary, and all the rest of supports together. I suppose that doesn’t work with some parents, but I’ve never met them.
Money is easy to give, care is not. I’m grateful to anyone that gives me money, but that doesn’t mean I’ll respect them.
They tend to correlate with the parents I know. Maybe I just know nice parents.
as awesome as you are,
I thought your tradeoff
might have been
being a horrible daughter
but it seems I was
wrong.
So what’s your secret flaw? What balances you out?

There’s tunnel vision and then there’s carbon nano-tube vision.
i thought i was missing something because of the odd spacing but yeah im kind of a cunt
Yeah, that’s probably it 
:awesome:
I’m only dumb on the internet because it barely ever has repercussions on reality. On the state test here in Delaware, I scored the highest in my grade (at least in my school, not sure) on both math and reading.
Protip: State standardized tests are next to worthless. The TAKS here in Texas is laughably easy. Doesn’t stop half of Houston from failing it, but still.
those are about as good a measure of intelligence as internet iq tests
i scored the highest every time we took the meap test and got the highest act score in my school
does it mean im a genius? no, it means im good at standardized tests. theyre two different things.
Being one of the smartest children in Delaware isn’t really saying much…
