hmmmm... and I should care about your opinion... why?

Because unlike you, I have respect for the people who gave me a roof over my head, food to eat, clothes to wear, a tv to watch and games to play.

No matter how much you want to bitch and moan, your parents are the only parents you will ever have. And no matter how much to want to dog them, the fact that you are alive and have a computer and an internet connection to come here and bitch is proof that they can't be complete failures as parents.

So what if they are a bit rough around the edges? They have provided everything you need to this point. So sit down and shut up you ungrateful puke.

Have you ever been on suicide watch for your mom because of your dad's chronic verbal abuse and because she was on enough narcotic pain-killers to kill a horse (literally)? Have you ever had to endure listening to your parents scream at each other for 3 years 24/7, trying to stay out of it, but hearing it through the walls and knowing that you cannot stop it? Not to mention the fact that you don't have enough money to move out, and no time for a job? (I was involved in EVERYTHING in HS trying to get out of the house). And that's about 2% of what I've got.

Think what you want, but you have no right to insult me on this. I'm grateful for what they've provided me with, but my anger far outweighs my gratefulness. And with good reason.

Well with all that money you made from designing rockets for NASA you should move into a house on your own, or fly to the moon weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Dont try to justify your rant, you can't and you just make yourself look worse.

Wow, you are angry. Might I suggest some therapy to help you deal with your rage? Seriously, your life is what it is. You cannot change the past, it is all about how you deal with it going forward...and I think you need some professional help dealing with it.

Uhhh... the rocket thing was a contract, team-based high school activity. If you'd actually read my posts, you would know that. I didn't get any $$ out of it.

Everyone has time for a job, you just have to decide whether sponging off your parents vs. working full time/college part time is worth it.

Actually, that's the very reason I've been seeing a psychologist for the last 2 months. Over the summer, it got to the point where I'd literally have "rage spells". For about 30 seconds, it'd take everything I had to stop myself from physically lashing out. Not at anything specific, but just lashing out. Those stopped a month ago, and things are better (my psychologist basically quoted what I've been screaming for the last 3 years to my parents, and somehow that made them shut up). Doesn't mean my opinion of my parents has changed.

Alright Stinky Mcstinkface #2 - read the entire thread. The OP's post was saved. The trick is to read the thread, or at least to scroll through it and look for the 3 page rant.

This was meant to be a semi-amusing sarcastic rant. Should've accounted for the misinterpretation.

I don't get how the ORIGINAL post could even be taken as that. Amusing rant? By bitching at your mom becuase she bought the wrong vacuum cleaner bags? HILARIOUS!!! Why didn't I see the humor the first time!!!??
I'll tell you what, and I've said this in several "My parents suck" threads in the past. Print out your OP. Put it in an envelope and store it away someplace safe. In 10+ years reopen it and you will see what an INCREDIBLE ass you were.

I was at home maybe 4 hours every day not including sleep. That was during high school. Tell me a job that takes more time then that. College was a non issue as I was 2 hours away, but I seriously doubt I could've gotten a job for my whopping 2 weeks of Christmas vacation. As for a job at my Univ, I admit I was a lazy bastard, but I figured "hey I'm at a Univ! I'm away from the problem and I can last for the short periods I'll be at home! No need for a job!" Obviously that didn't work.

Wow, for a moment there I thought I'd wandered into a PAB thread..

My opinion is that the OP needs electroshock therapy, from multiple simultaneous tasers.

Jeez OP... Sorry to pile on the shit a little bit more, but that "rant" makes you sound like the bitch...

Mom bought the wrong bags for the vacuum and you are crucifying her?
Dad wants to HELP you fix a printer because he has been on this earth longer than you and probably has eons more knowledge? And you dont want his help and then proceed to COMPLAIN about it? Awww poor fuckin baby...

Go to the projects and ask the kids on the streets if their parents ever gave a shit. Or even knew what their name is. Then look back and put things in perspective...

You really don't have a context by which to juxtapose your 'problems' with someone who is living through troubled times, and rather than acknowledge the blunt yet sage advice of some posters you continue to justify your actions. You are pathetic.

So today I actually felt like cleaning my room. And I mean cleaning. Dusting, filing papers, sorting/tagging my music collection, and even caulking up a few cracks that I know centipedes use as subway stations. It was weird.

About an hour ago, I wanted to vacuum/dust my room. So I get the vacuum cleaner and attempt to vacuum. Suddenly the thing loses suction. I open it up and yep the duct tape that my dad had jury rigged the already ripped bag with had busted. At this point, I ask my mom if she ever bought replacement bags (we discussed this weeks ago) and she said yes. Guess what, they don't fit. She bought Panasonic bags for a Riccar Vaccum cleaner (let that sink in). I point this out. Her response: "But the sales-person assured me they would work! I bought this from the Riccar Store!". *sigh* How could someone with a Masters from a good university act like such a stupid bitch. NEVER TRUST SALES PEOPLE! 70% of them are trained monkeys who don't know shit and the others want to rip you off! If it's a Riccar store they should sell fucking Riccar bags for fucking Riccar vaccum cleaners. And IF you're going to buy ANYTHING from ANYWHERE you (OMFG) research what you're going to buy until you have the dimensions, hi-res picture, and serial number deeply traced in your mashed shit-heap of a brain! Then you know EXACTLY what you want and you can tell any salesperson who wants to "help" you to FUCK THE HELL OFF bitch. And here's the catch: IT TAKES ALL OF 10 MINTUES of GOOGLeING!

Now for my dad:

Just 40 minutes ago, I was a retard and put too much weight on my printer's paper tray, breaking the cheap little plastic nibs that held it up. I know my dad has a set of tools/equipment in the basement, but he'd just overcomplicate things. So I get ready to leave to pick up some 2-part epoxy and some plastic that I can cut to replace said nibs. Easy process, easy fix. Unfortunately, he catches me going out the door and makes a polite yet pointed farting asshole of a question as to where I'm going. Once again, I explain. He then says "Oh, you know I've got a lot of stuff in the basement! This is why I save this stuff to save money!" (Gleefully like a gay elf and a chimp came together to experiment with Paris Hilton's new perfume line) I am then figuratively dragged down to the basement and eye-raped by the huge collection of random crap and rusty tools he's been collecting over his lifetime. Luckily, there was a plastic widget that I cut up and it did the job perfectly, but aside from that it was a fucking nightmare. I received a not-so-subtle lecture on how to use epoxy (ie: "make sure you mix equal amounts" 10 seconds later: "A toothpick's good for that"). At this point, I pretty much give him the non-vulgar version "I've built high-powered rockets for NASA you bastard, I think I know how to use fuckingEPOXY!" After another high-volume exchange I gave him the "my printer, my fuckup, my fix" (I actually bought this printer with my own money). He backed off and continued his lectures, and I had to move to my bedroom and lock the door to keep him from "checking on my progress" every 5 seconds. Then my mom asked what was going on, and I filled her in on the situation. Unfortunately that involved me opening the door, which my dad used to politely shove his way into my room and my mom followed suit. Before you know it, all 3 of us are crowded around my printer, with them offering ideas that I'd already thought of and me shouting variations of "Fuck off! Bitches!". Finally I got them out of my room, and low and behold I fixed the fucker in 10 minutes! Right now I'm waiting for the epoxy to harden, but everything looks pristine. So they made the process 4x longer! ZOMFuckingG!. So I just confronted them with this and my dad gave me this smug-ass grin and said "We're just helpful people. We really like to help." As I'm typing this, I'm wondering whether to strangle him or not for that shit.

My Dad is a PhD in EE from CalTech, and my Mom has a Masters in Music from The University of Illinois! HTF did these two live? It's like their brains just turned to shit during my childhood or something! And I have so much sh!t on them from the last 3 years it's pathetic, but that's for a far more depressing rant.

Bump for the original post, as the OP decided to erase it.

Their advice is valid given what they know, some of it's valid even given what they don't know. There are just a few out-of-line insults that I'm dealing with now. Why do you think I'm only responding to a few posters now, as opposed to earlier when I foolishly tried to defend my every point?

Besides, ironically, people are getting amused by all of this. If it makes them happy, maybe this thread has some merit. Not that I'm into self-deprecating humor, but in this case it's above the worst-case scenario.
