DISRESPECTING YOUR PARENTS.
yes please? just kidding. i don't know, in previous years i was not a big fan of my parents, but they've gotten a bit better of late i suppose. i try not to disrespect them unreasonably, but i'm not going to lie, sometimes i just can't help myself. i'm a rotten child, but only when they're rotten parents. i find if they don't respect me, then they won't get respect back. the concept of respecting ones parents as if they're some kind of higher power to you both bemuses and annoys me. yes, they birthed me and raised me and all of that but i still think i am just as much a person as them, and it becomes frustrating when it seems they don't think this is the case and they're somewhat better than me just because of their age. lately they've become a bit better at handling me, so to speak, so they've gained more of my respect but there are still times when they're completely unreasonable and i just snap. for the most part, we get along pretty well, and i don't think they hate me too much, or at the very least not as much as they used to. i think although i sometimes say i hate them, subconsciously i must have some amount of respect for them, because there are times i get annoyed when my friends berate them. my parents are a bit crazy, but i've gotten better at accepting that and working with it.
