My Urban Anthropology teacher gave us back a test, and when going over the test she asked certain people to read their answers out loud, I guess she noted which answers she thought were the best ones. I only got an 82 on the test but I got to read one of mine. So I will try harder next time because I am jealous of the people who go to read 3 or 4 of theirs. She does know my name, though and there's a lot of people in there. :)

not at all. their approval means nothing. they're losers.

Not really. I just want them to not have to worry about me when I am not there and not feel like we are on the verge of an argument when I am there.

^It's always been like that with my mom ever since I moved out. We don't speak too often, and as soon as we saw each other we started a fight.
Well, last Saturday we talked for a few hours straight over dinner, about a lot that had happened between and around us, and I think we made progress.

i just talked to my dad on the phone

we talked about avoiding being caught after murdering someone

i couldnt really give a fuck what my father thinks.

my mother's opinion matters alot to me. She's done a pretty good job of bringing me up by herself, and i feel like i have to repay her for that, by leading a good life.

there's no responsibility in being born

i just want to make sure they don't feel like they wasted time/money on me. that's all.

i guess that would qualify as seeking their approval in a way...

oh always.

Yes, and so far I make more money than my mom.


Up next, dad.

I hope you're joking.

i do like it when they send me money

All I have to do is continue to be less of a fuck up than my brother and theyre happy.

puffy, you gotta watch this series http://youtube.com/results?search_query=Brass+Eye&search_type=

let me know if you want avi's of the whole season.

i was a test tube baby so i have lots of pressure. I got alot of nag but i understand why, they dont praise me though.

Forgive me, but I'm stealing this since this is pretty much my answer too.

churr

i dont need my ma's approval, we went to judge judy and she said I'M IN THE RIGHT

HEAR THAT, MA?!?!?

bump

pretty sure my mom gave up on me years ago. so as long as i can get through the day without dying i think she's happy.

my dad is more like my personal superhero who just also happens to be my dad and i'm the luckiest guy in the world to have him as a friend. so yeah i want to make him proud. he deserves it.

Reprise, what's goin on? Why did you bump This thread?

yeah..and you DIDN'T EVEN ANSWER THE QUESTION

my dad's dead and my mom sucks pretty bad. so no. fuck them.

No, and never have. I could give a shit what they think of me.

yes i want them to be proud

I want them both to drop dead very soon so I can collect their eager life insurance payouts
That's about it

My mom probably needs to live forever so i don't have a meltdown.

i think it's super creepy reprise would bump this the way she did. wutta menace.

i don't think it's creepy....

lol, guys.

my parents are sort of weird people, and i have not lived up to their expectations, being in my mid-20s and a college dropout and what have you. i am starting to see how more and more i am not like them and we do not value similar things at all.

i have a lot of mixed feelings towards them but i won't kid myself somewhere i want to make them proud and not have to worry about me

i mean they are still my parents

i came upon this thread randomly while going through the old posts because most of my laptop's screen is broken and i am just reading netphoria because i can't do much else online atm

my mom has apparently adopted a new family though, she's dating some guy and like watching football now and has new pets and won't tell anyone her address

its weird. fuck her.

for those of you who don't care did you stop over time or can you never remember caring?

sorry guys.

if I were to get really pop psychologist on myself, I'd say I seek it through surrogate parental figures.

Yeah I've been meaning to talk to you about this son, if I may call you that.

I've always had my own agenda and I guess my parents are supportive no matter what. I honestly don't know what kind of expectations they had for me as their first born.

I've been independent since I was 18 and I surmise that made them pretty happy since my brother is 25, married and still living with them.

Wonder if Sean Casey will sponsor the first ever Netphori*Con with his inheritance.

I posted this four years ago and the answer is still pretty much the same. We do get along better than back then but not much.

<font color="dab9ea">Constantly. I think I have a complex about it. Being an only child from a single parent put everything on me... now especially she's she's got some mental issues and is getting older. She's very proud of the life I've made for myself and recently moved cross state to be near us, since she's nearly 70 now, but a lot of the time I have to stop and tell myself what I'm doing is crazy, I don't have to call her back or go back by to make sure she's ok and not pissed at me. It's kind of messed up.</font>

A psychiatrist once advised me to do this.

My parents are amazing people, but they were screwups as parents, for the most part. So I seek their approval as wise older people, but not as my mum and my dad, if that makes sense.
