I wish my parents knew...

Biggins

Can you name one thing that you wish your parents knew about you, but you can't bring yourself to tell them?

For me its how much my job is making such a difference to people.
I can't explain to them just how much of a difference I'm actually making.
(I deal with people, working interactively with them)

I wish I could tell them that sometimes they get TOO interfering in the lives of my wife and I.
(We've both tried!)

What the hell is your job? You apparently have some top secret information on the people you work with on a daily basis

I wish my parents knew... how thin the walls in our house were when i was growing up.

That I came this close to committing myself to foster care when you wore that duffle coat to the school sports day.

Are you, like me, also a water-boarding consultant for the CIA?

No, I'm the council water rates revenue collection agency and we have noticed you have been using a crazy amount of water lately!

We are coming to get you...

Yes, you can make sure they don't use Galway water, because that would be inhumane. Besides, we wouldn't want them to die of poisoning during interrogation, or we'd get nothing out of them.

That's a very good one. It so applied to me too when I was younger.
They weren't able to tell the difference between helping me in a possible right direction and actually ramming down my throat their aspirations!

that i actually WAS drunk that night they caught me eating chicken while shaving when i was 14.

That usually it is better for children to fit in.

They can be unique little snowflakes when they go to college.

No, he works on galactica. I think he has been watching too many third party applications and believes it now.

I wish my Parents knew;
a) That I don't like when My Dad uses my Boards Account.
b) That I don't think I should have to spend my Life minding their daughter just because they work.
c) That I don't like how I am relied on for everything.
d) That I would have stayed in College had I not been living at home and b and c not been true.

Now why would you want your parents to know something like that, unless you're the oversharing type.

partyguinness

that I am fantastic in bed....:D..but that is just showing off.

that despite only 11 hrs a week in college I never made a full week in 3 years

that someday I will explode and unleash 30 years of pent up anger on them...

that I have a very very long and uinforgiving memory

that my job is not something to joke about and suggestions to push legal documents in front older relatives to sign over their land is not a joking matter.
