Why do parents act like they know what we care about?

MOTHER$%&%$& JESUS , seriously if all your parents want is for you to become a graduate anything else you do is unnimportant except for what they think "is the best for you", how about actually trying to think a little bit and remember that each person has their own goals in life? Im so pissed off... Not pissed off for myself, since im not underaged and i can do whatever i #"%$#% want but for my gf who is not, and her parents acting like total retards, and i just feel like getting a gun and shooting it up their ass... Is it so hard for parents to understand that all we want (read - priority number ONE) is to be together? We could do EVERYTHING we needed to after that, but no... they have to be stupid and think all that matters is school and that crap when we cant even stop thinking each other for a second... theres NO WAY IN HELL any of us is gonna do ANYTHING without being together, is it that difficult to grasp? Did parents think their children would be carbon copies of them and act just like wanted to? Do they forget we have our own will and priorities? For me love is WAY ABOVE anything else in life, its what makes life worthy, what makes you feel like you are actually ENJOYING every single moment of your life, and everything else comes after, if things dont turn out so great you still have each other anyway...

Clearly the years of experience your parents (and a lot of people in this thread) have, is nothing compared to the pure truth that love is all you need.

:laugh: BWAHAHAHA!!! Sorry, just couldn't hold it in anymore. Have you been watching too many chick flicks?

Have you ever thought that if EVERYONE older than you is giving you a certain piece of advice, they might remember what it was like when they were your age, and they might have made the WRONG choice themselves and paid the consequences?

Have you ever thought i might actually want to experience it myself instead of just taking advices without knowing if they would turn out true or not?

About the others saying im avoiding questions, suppose im rich (my only problem is her parents not letting her) , what about it? Also the pregnancy is a non issue, also might as well assume we will die when crossing the road next day...

 

[BooGiMaN]

well since you have decided to ignore my questions, i will have to assume you do not have a solid plan on how you and her will make it out in the real world...

love will not pur food in your mouth or a roof over your head...if she ends up pregnant that will only make matters much much worse....


you only see the happiness you two could have with all the freedom of being able to spend time together yet you ignore the harsh reality of it all

you need to get a job or an education and follow her parents rules for dating otherwise you have no solid base on which to stand to complain..right now you are only venting and making yourself look petty, childish and whiny

 

[gigapet]

Its just teenage angst. It will pass.

They always fvck up my home run breakfast.

Well quit eating breakfast at Jiffy Lube then!

That would explain why my engine smells of syrup and my windshield washer fluid looks like coffee.

Me = Pwned.

The reason I asked about your ages is that your options are most assuredly going to be linked to how old you are. Doesn't that seem logical? How can anyone give you any advice if they can't determine what is within the realm of possibility?

You know... let's humor him for a moment here and ask what, exactly, his plan is.

Where will you live? What job do you have? What sort of budget are you looking at? Do you have transportation? Healthcare? Love won't help a damn if you get sick and die because you can't afford medical care.

Simply saying "We'll find a way... WITH LOVE!" is not an option.
This is a serious question and I would like a serious answer.

Would you rather die or live unhappy?

I don't get the relation to this thread. If you move out now, you're going to be unhappy because you can't afford to live.

Keep in mind that a majority of divorces happen when finances are an issue.

Ok, i dont have a "solid plan", and why is that? Because i would need to be with her first before making any plans in the first place... how can i make plans if i cant even be with her? kind of useless isnt it? oh yea let me make plans for my life with someone im not even gonna be able to live with /sarcasm

I didnt say "We'll find a way... WITH LOVE!" , but love would be our motivation, keeping us together and making us able to go through the hard moments, as i said we would have a "base" to start with, then we would go from there, just as everyone did in the past

 

[dawnbug]

And I still want to know why it's so important for you guys to be together now? Why not wait a year or two, and just try to see each other often before then? If you can't make it when you're not living together, you shouldn't be living together at any point.

 

[Frostwake]

Btw, do i have a shot at best/most popular ATOT thread? (just curious)

Perhaps a shot at Pwnage of the year thread, but that's about it.

i dont know whether you are dillusional or just trolling at this point...im sure every parent here wants to here that from their future kids husband or wife...


let love be our motivation...come on man do you not see how ridiculous that sounds...if that is all you plan to base the rest of your lives together...

No, you don't.

Not if you keep dodging the questions.

You, sir, are a moron. I give up. Since you don't get the intellectually relevant posts, maybe you'll understand cliffs.

1. The girl apparently is too young for you.
2. Your maturity level is very low.
3. You need to grow up & stop living in such a fantasy world.
4. Get a job and learn some responsibilty
7. Learn respect
8. REPEAT!

Because it hurts alot not to be with her and makes all days painfully slow to pass by, waiting for the day ill be with her again, not to mention we cant think of anything else other then us, you see... if we keep this long distance relationship shes NOT gonna make it at school, she wasnt very good at it already before we met, and now it got worse cuz she just cant concentrate on school at all, together it would be piece of cake, because we could help each other, and as i said, go on from there

 

[BooGiMaN]

i call shens and point at the troll....who were you before you got banned?

 

[Frostwake]

Since trying to prove my point is like saying "god exists because..." im just gonna ask something

What would you "i know/have been through everything and im more experienced then you/not to mention you will fail at life" gurus would do in my place?

How in the world can we tell you? We don't know how old you both are, and therefore appropriate advice is impossible.

If any kid came near my daughters with an attitude like yours he'd leave in a body bag.

Grow the hell up, maybe by the time you accomplish that your girlfriend will be out of school & then you two can continue your little infatuation party.

OH you know it brother! MAN that kid got my blood boiling. Parents HAVE gone through everything and MORE that their kids have gone through, and now know how to deal with it. Kids think that because it was a different culture back then, their experiences don't relate. WRONG! I was about 25 before I learned that and found out that my parents were almost always right.

So again, in seriousness, from her parent's perspective, would you let your daughter go live with a guy who has no plan for supporting her? Seeing as she's the female, a student, and a minor, it would be expected of you to bring home the bacon.

You don't need to be with her first to have a plan... that's why they are called plans. It's figuring out how to deal with things before they happen so it's not an incredible issue when it does... or doesn't.

But again, hypothetically (and seriously) speaking... her parents call you up right now and say they've reconsidered. They'll allow it. What then? Would you immediately pack your bags and head out? If not, what would you do? Perhaps if you really want this to happen, you should find a way to make her parents have the confidence that you have as opposed to complaining about how they don't understand.

 

[hypn0tik]

OP, I understand EXACTLY what you're going through!

I got through the situation by rubbing one out. Best damn jerk I had. I didn't even talk to the girl the next day. I was looking at my right hand as I walked past her thinking, 'Damn, where have you been all these years Righty?' To this day, I have yet to experience a better jerk.

Thats how things work for me, and thats how things work for her... "First we need to be together, then we will do whatever needs to be done"... And most couples would just give up and be happy with what they have, but we are not and we will do whatever it takes to prove them we're SERIOUS.. whatever it takes... And im pissed off at the fact they cant understand us and they cant understand they are $%&$%& everything up and only making it worse, because they are NOT gonna keep us from being together, theyre probably going to ruin our lives... so much for "whats best for you" crap... Wow ive written too much... just needed to "explode" somewhere and since i was browsing through ATOT ... Thanks for those who leave their point of view on the question, and for those who flame at least try to be funny so i laugh a little

You know, Elsio Arrais of North Carolina, it's things like the bolded parts above that sorely tempts me to go Loke on you and turn you in to either her parents or the police. Do you honestly think that her parents are wrong about how mature you and your underaged girlfriend are? The fact that you wrote the above post shows that you are not mature enough to treat any woman right. The fact that your girlfriend read that post and agreed with it makes me shudder. So she's ok with you killing her parents?
