Dear Mom & Dad (But mostly Mom)
What the Freak! I get 1 measly piercing and its the end of the world as we know it! Like cool your jets. I'm 26. Which means I'm grown as hell (even though I still rent a room from you) and can make my own decisions. Even if it's something tereible like dying my hair yellow. I felt like so sue me. I'm not burning down your house, doing drugs or stealing. I'm not even using YOUR money.
The old days are over, no one cares if my nose has a tiny fake diamond in it. So here are the new rules.
1. Your child is NOT your spouse they don't need to check in with you every hour, or even every minute, past 18.
2. Think twice before posting something on their social media site. We will delete that comment. They don't have an account because of you. They just added you so you wouldn't complain about it.
3. Don't wish ill upon them. You guys teach us to be nice and treat people how we want to be treated... but we do ONE thing and it's "now watch you break your neck." WTF!?
4. We are NOT your friends. You can't tell us everything and we DON'T want to know everything. So don't get mad when we don't want to listen.
5. Don't baby us. Most normal adults hate that crap! We're not 5. That ship has sailed. Let us go and grow up. If you keey torturing us with your doubt and nostalgia we WILL resent you. Not because we don't love you, but because you gave us no choice.
6. We WILL mess up. If we learn something from it. Let it be. Dont say I told you so, cause we start playing the "Mother Knows Best" song (from tangled) in our heads. Which doesn't have you coming out as a hero to us.
