| Quinella is a loser. He/She should just stay away from his parents' home if there are these "issues". Using your parents for free room and board and free food to stuff down that undeserving throat is the height of hypocrisy. Either you have issues and you stay away since its so damn bad, or you stick that tail between your legs and accept your parents without whining. Id respect you if you shelled out the bucks for a motel room and your own food. THEN you can whine and moan on the internet about how bad your father is. Getting things for free from people you dont like is being a hypocriical *beep*. |
The fact that you can't read or spell my user name properly doesn't qualify you as an armchair psychologist, but it does qualify you as just another slob on a message board who likes to make himself feel better by ripping on other people.
There was no reason for you to post any more off-topic replies to this thread, but you just couldn't restrain yourself, could you?  You haven't shared anything about yourself, which was what I asked people to do in the OP. Hey, howabout it's my turn to play armchair pscyho! Hmm.. let's see...
You haven't shared anything about yourself for the same reason you attack strangers on the Internet: because you're a spineless dork with low self esteem.
Gosh, that was fun! I DO feel as cool as you now!
As I said, I stayed with my parents because it was the obvious choice, which I now regret for various reasons. It's the longest period I've stayed with them since I moved out several years ago, but it would be offensive and hurtful for me to pack up and move to another spot for my last few remaining days, don't you think, Freud?
Is there anything else about ME you'd like to know, you obsessive freak?

You dont deserve proper spelling of your nickname.
I see, well, we found out it was "lighthearted" after you pretty much got pummeled in this thread. Then, you stuck your tail between your legs and made a hasty retreat. From your OP it sure didnt sound lighthearted.
What are your so called issues? Your father is boring? Oh well, WOE THE GREAT PAIN THAT IS YOUR LIFE.
Believe me, your boring father is the least of your problems. Your biggest problem is that lack of any sort of backbone that forces you to vent your frustration about your parents to a bunch of strangers on a discussion board while you stuff your self with your parents' food, sleep in their house and probably take allowence from them for your spending money. (I wouldnt put this one past you as you seem like nothing but a taker and a user). "Thanks for the 40 bucks dad, I love ya.". What are you, 14? In grade 9? Whats going on? If you had any sort of pride, you would actually make the OBVIOUS choice. No, not sucking resources from people you dislike under the guise of visiting family. You would spend some of the money you make and pay for your own place and food. And NO ALLOWENCE. But that would be too difficult and why bother if dad just forks over whatever you want, right? How you EVER thought that staying with people you dislike is an "obvious choice" is beyond me.
I could be wrong and your biggest problem might be your hypocrisy. Take your pick.
Want me to reveal something about myself? I love my parents, actually my father as my mother passed away. I wish she didnt and you will know what it feels like when one of your parents passes away. Maybe you will actually grow up and grown a spine then. When I visit my father's house I stay there, but the vists are usually short. Last time it was 4 days and thats it. |

WAH WAH look at me! I need more attention! Everyone look at me!
Still trying to play the armchair psychologist, eh? I have a suggestion for you: stop while you're behind.
Your vacuous words fall on amused ears, Jinju. You made grand judgments about me based on scant information and copious assumptions. That gives your opinion the weight of a dragonfly fart. Why don't you go take some pictures of a dragonfly farting, post them on your gallery (look at me everyone!) and I'll post a little comment for you salivate over.
By the way... nice way to play off your inability to spell my user name. I don't deserve the attention required.  Come on man, is this the best you have? Are you THAT incapable of admitting error?
Maybe if I'm in a bad mood later I'll play, but for now I'll leave it at that. PM me when you post up those dragonfly pics.

We stay at my folks. They get the chance to see us (not often as we live overseas) and now their grandson!
We also travel a bit and tend to stay at my brothers place too (near montreal) and visit uncles and aunts.
It is always a blast.  |

My crappy childhood is worse than yours. Nyah nyah.
But seriously, don't go home in the future, or set up some itinerary where you'll be out of the house at least half of the time. My grandparents serve as my parents for all intensive purposes when I go home now, and I would usually line up some nights out with old friends or trips to other places back home or crash at a friend's house for a few days at a time. I don't have any disdain for them (parents is another story), but they would drive me up the wall, as has been their special talent ever since I was a teen. Thus, I try to make it as comfortable for everyone as possible.
My parents have a track record in the same vein as yours, and, in all honesty, they'd be lucky to even see my face at this stage. Then again, they haven't changed their ways... |

You know, I tried a joke like this on someone last week. He had made a jocular insult toward me, and I responded with, "My dad could beat up your dad!" I thought the allusion to playground nanny-nanny-booism was obvious, but he responded with, "I highly doubt it. My dad is trained in jujitsu and military combat." Umm.. ooookay!

The first time I read this, I thought the last sentence said you try to make it as uncomfortable for everyone.
I don't really like the idea of crashing with friends, even though they tell me it's okay. Probably next year I'm going to just skip the US altogether. I was here a total of two days before I was ready to be back in Korea. I'll just get a hotel on the beach in Thailand instead. That would be much more pleasant. (Thanks for the idea Peppermint.)

I'm fortunate in that respect. After a few catastrophes, my parents agreed to some counseling from the same person I'd been seeing. They really have made sincere efforts to change, and I think the reality of having an "empty nest" for the past couple of years has mellowed them out a lot.
