If your parents didn't like your bf/gf...

I wouldn't put up with it if my parents told me I had to choose between them and who I loved. Any parent who does that is a control freak and can't understand that you're not a kid anymore. Everyone has to live their own life, not the life their parents want them to live.

Too many parents expect their kids to be a younger version of themself and when they see you making a decision that they personally wouldn't make then it's automatically wrong. But most parents there is no sense even trying to argue with them over something, they think that since they're the parents that they're right no matter what regardless of how old their children have become.

Parents seem to be among the most unreasonable people on the planet, I really hope I don't end up behaving like this if I ever have kids.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
