The sad thing is, they apparently have a large drug and gang problem...

Let's chase all the gays out so we can be poorer then we are right now.

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the arrest in the park because fuck you, you're gay, and we can't possibly allow you to progress to baby carraige.

Oh look at me I got up at five, went for a jog, did some weights, took a shower, had a fresh juice for breakfast, wrote some poetry while gazing at the sunrise, got dressed, watched some TV, got some coffee, and came in to work 15 minutes early to chat about an upcoming project. You?

I've had some therapy because I have some issues with trust and emotional intimacy. It was a harsh way to grow up, and a lot of the stuff I did after I left home was sort of a "screw you" to my parents. I had some anger.

That sounds horrible and I don't think I've been overindulged by my parents.
Basic involvement is necessary for your kids...
You obviously turned out ok and made the best of it, but let's just say that others in your situation would have legit attachment and resentment issues. Or they might have stayed in your…

I was essentially raised by wolves. My parents made sure I never looked to them for anything, and now they seem really baffled that I don't, in fact, look to them for anything.

EXACTLY THIS. Why are we letting these lunatics do this to us? I want to foment a rebellion.

I know someone like this. A former friend of mine. Would keep dropping that she woke up randomly at 6 AM or 7 AM and couldn't go back to sleep no matter what because what can she say, she's just a morning person. And she always had this super condescending nature to her, like she was better or smarter than everyone…

Our parents come from the same stock. There was no attendance at any game (though I played something every season), and never a glance at my report card (I ended up getting myself into an Ivy league school). I am an only child though. After I left home, I never went back. I am self-sufficient to a fault. It got me…

I KNOW. Look, being unable to stay awake past 8:30pm IS NOT IMPRESSIVE. Why do they sound so smug about it?

PS- all children are all id, no superego. Till they start recognizing they are not the center of the omniverse, which for girls is about 7 and boys about 30.

My parents were distant. I'm the baby of four and they were basically done and exhausted. I was never grounded. I had rules and chores but nothing was really ever enforced. They didn't help me with my schoolwork or care about my report card. They told me that not only would they not pay for college, but they…

The only way I can make an 8 am meeting is to not go to bed the night before. Screw you, Calvinists - you never said I couldn't fall asleep during it.

I think morning people are the big entitled assholes — they are so goddamn self-righteous and proud of their morning asses. They'll schedule shit for the ass-crack of dawn and act all superior when you show up shaking and looking like you just got whacked upside the head with a two-by-four. They brag about coming in…

Is there any way that you could take yourself for the shots? You will have to re-start the series, I'm sure. Isn't it wonderful learning that your parents aren't as perfect as you'd like them to be?

Would parents, in order to keep their kids from drinking, sponsor a policeman, who, upon carding you and discovering that you're an underage drinker, shoots you in the head? Because that's the appropriate analogy here. "Sure kept YOU away from the booze!" he says as he cracks a cold Bud. Don't parents remember when…

That's horrible! Get a new OB as soon as possible- I changed doctors when I had crappy insurance and they were still very supportive!

Also Gardasil protects against 4 of the most common serotypes of cancer causing HPV. So if you are already infected with one serotype, the shot will still protect you from the others.

See, I think you're wrong there. I think they realize just fine. They just think that murder of a white child is murder, and the murder of a black child doesn't count because s/he was black and therefore deserved it. They're not angry because they think white people are discriminated against; they're angry because…
