I've always been intrigued by other people's parents. My parents hate kids (I inherited it) and consequently always treated me as an adult. They were more like older friends. If I got in trouble they would just make fun of me instead of like... punishment. I was certainly never grounded. I got arrested in high school and all my dad did was shake his head and call me a dumbass.

My older sister was more like a parent to me than my parents were.

I'd always ask why other kids would tolerate parental control. Things like curfews or no same sex sleepover rules were always foreign to me.

I guess you can all tell I'm not asian huh?

My parents never tried to be my friends, and I never really understood or even felt comfortable around my friends whose parents treated them as such. I think there is an advantage to such a delineation, as then there is no conflict of interest.

Some of my friends' parents were perhaps too authoritarian or disciplinarian, and they ended up getting into all kinds of trouble. There is a fine line to walk, but I think it begins with the mutual understanding that parents understand and know more than children think and that children are much smarter and more aware of things than parents think.

i think alot of shitty parenthood derives from parents with shitty sex lives.

my parents still act like they are 18. consequently i believe they did a damn fine job raising me with a perfect balance of love and discipline.

My mom punches me sometimes so I punch her back. My sister thinks its hilarious when I fling her around.

Sometimes mom thinks its hilarious too. Sometimes.

just minutes ago i came upon an adolescent water-bug of sorts playing in my bathroom sink. i doused him with the contents of a cheap pump bottle lotion, from a decent height ( i'd say 16-20" above the target) until he was unable to move. i then took out my member (what i came here to do in the first place) and re-lieved myself all about his prone, well moisturized body.

success.

looking back, i wish i'd found him in the toilet instead.. .

I always had an irrational fear of crawly things. My father knows this; once when I was young, he came home from work one day and called me over to him.

"Lan! Come here and look at this."

He held out his hand; in it was a grape stem wrapped in a napkin. I looked closed, and he opened his fingers. It wasn't a grape stem at all! It was a lizard's tail. Attached to a lizard.

I jumped back in fear. My dad just laughed at me.

He then took the lizard and threw it in the toilet and then peed on it, laughing all the while before flushing it down the toilet.

I will say that Asian parents are that way too regarding love. Everything my parents have ever done, my mother especially, they have done with their children and the family in mind. Asians don't express their love verbally but instead through actions. It's easy to forget this sometimes because their gestures of love are not overt.

My sister got into a big argument with our parents about her upcoming wedding, and I think she was surprised when I generally sided with our parents. The wedding is still a long time off (maybe more than a year--she is recently engaged), so there is a lot of time for things to be resolved.

I am in general very respectful toward my parents and their wishes; my friends are always very surprised at the way I behave around my parents because I am normally very combative and forthright. Around my parents, however, I am deferential and polite. That said, my parents put up with a lot from me (I went to college on a full scholarship to study engineering and liberal arts but dropped out of school for a while to travel around the country and gamble, for example, throwing away my scholarship in the process), so it's definitely been an ongoing process for all of us. As I've gotten older, though, I've come to understand my parents' side even more. Not everything needs to be spoken, and some things are the way they are. Not everything needs a reason. If you don't agree with something your father says (and heaven knows I don't agree with everything my father says), there is no reason to always call him out on it; the world is wide enough for both cosmologies to exist.

But in general, I guess our parents became who they are for a reason. They're not stupid; and I think that a lot of the old ways (of filial piety, for example) have a lot to recommend them.

I agree with this post so much. Growing up I always wished my parents were more "Western" in their parenting - relaxed rules, clean and open channels of communication, nows-a-days I understand more why they did the things they did, and the merits of an Asian upbringing.

In other news, my gf is torn between her feelings for me and resurgent feelings she's having for an ex. I know the best thing I can do is to give her space and support her, but it's damn hard to not be selfish and blame her for the confusion I'm going through.

Fuck that, she is to blame for any confusion you're feeling.

Dude. Bitchassness. Put her in her place. Explain that you aren't in it to compete for her affections. You don't need her cause theres a line of girls competing for you.

Her confusion will be over in a hurry.
