As a parent

I am surprised that this is not defined here yet. It is a popular phrase that parents use to make their opinions seem especially important, even when discussing matters that have absolutely nothing to do with children and parenting. This is done under the delusion that being a mother or father will automatically make their comments more respected by others.

The people in your life you will most love or most hate in the entire universe. Often a bit of both.

People who raise you and care for you... at least... if they are good ones. And sadly that is not always the case.

The people who walk inside your room and make you lose in a video game because they want you to clean up their shit

the chains around your ankles until you've managed to a) runaway b) obtain a stable job and stable income c) die d) turn 18.

1.) those who, because they gave birth to you, claim to have complete control over your life, personality, friends, clothing, and any other specifics that define you as an individual.

2.) the people that want to mold you exactally after their wonderful selves, and then resent you when you aren't what they expected.

3.) the people who other conceited, ignorant adults tell you that you will someday appreciate, but in reality, you look back and pray to god you don't turn into them.

4.) instigators of the breakfast club syndrome.

The people that every child hates, whether they say so or not. The only ways of escaping them include dying, turning 18 and buying a house, or simply running away. The last one is not reccommened.

-CHARACTER TRAITS & HABITS:-

• They think that they know everything about you, including your food, music, movie, personality, and sexual preference. Once again, they're always right, even when you're obviously nothing like what they say.

• They believe that they reserve the right to automatically win any arguement of their choosing. When the far greater majority believes the oppsosite of what they say, but is comprised if children, the parent/s can automatically win and end the argument by saying "ENOUGH!" or "too bad", and nothing else can be said about it without serious risk of getting grounded or being ranted at/dismembered. This goes for anything else they say as well.

• They will often embarass you in front of your friends. The parent/s will often claim that they "forgot" or they "won't do it again", despite the fact that even they know that that isn't true. Every person has at least one story of this.

• Nearly every father will attempt to crack a wisey/pun/obviously crappy joke to your friends. Said friends will either pretend to laugh and then secretly shun you, or just drop you and not hang out with you.
