They do that knowing you're not going to listen to them anyways typically.

I figured you were being economical to match the slave wages in this market.

My parents taught me not to do those things either but I did all of them. Even became an alcoholic which I denied until my 40’s, not ideal, parents aren’t wrong, teenage you will do what ever

Having been with my wife since high school, the amount of time between “no fooling around” to “where are my grandchildren” was shockingly short.

Usually those two things are a day apart. The statement has always been: don't do shit that might get you kids out of wed-lock.

Once you are married, that obviously isn't an issue.

Is the difference in time between, them having to feed and clothe you and the time at which you'll be able to feed and clothe your own child.

I want to have grandchildren, but they don't want to pay for them and raise them.

My parents: cmon, why won’t you have a beer with us?

Also my parents when I grab a second beer later that night: Jesus fucking Christ you’re an alcoholic

Yeah, sorry mom and dad, you guys aren't going to be able to keep up with me.

Yeah, pisses me off they made me waste my young years thinking this. If only we could reset. Oh well, I still got time.

My parent is also raised me to avoid alcohol, partying, and sex. Which is why I moved out at 17 and started living on my own terms. And I will absolutely never respect anyone who stays at home for money when their parents impose rules on them. If you're an adult and your parents still phrase things in the imperative when they speak to you, you're not actually an adult.

I abstain from alcohol and tabaco, but sex is just too nice to abstain from.
