yes, you won't win so really, give up now.
on a side note, it kills me how much time parunts put into their kids now a days. When I was 13 and my friends too, we didnt hang out w/ our parunts all weekend, gosh, my parunts had plenty of time to themselves.
Even a Pnb male friend of mine was complaining about being on outta town business that we both have to do. He was like, it is my oldest daughter's 18th b-day, that's a landmark b-day, I'm going to be taking her out to dinner, i'm gonna try and reschedule the trip.
I kept my CF mouth shut, but when I was 18, i wanted to hang out w/ my friends on my special bday, not my dad. of course, we probably had a little cake and singing some part of the day or week of the bday, but my highlight wasn't hanging out w/ pops. Since many if not all my friends were the same way, i would say this is pretty normal.
what is it w/ this generation of kyds and parunts???? I really don't think they are really more "familly oriented", than those of the past, she more showy about it.
HOw about you guys, as teens, did you hang out w/ your parunts, or your friends more?
