  • Are you embarrassed by your parents?

    I am

    Sometimes I wonder how I came from them? They are so low class sometimes. And you guys think I'm low class. . And my mother is rude. I can't believe how she treated some Indian guy on the customer service line for AOL tonight. I was over there helping fix her computer.

    I feel bad for the Indian guy. It might even be LordShiva. No wonder he spams so much. He must vent his frustration at rude american people who call him at work.

    As for my dad, he was really only a step above homeless for parts of his life. In fact, I only learned today he ran away from home when he was in high school and travelled almost all the way to Canada (from southern California) by hopping trains.

    How are they so screwed up when I am so awesome?

    And I do wonder where my intelligence comes from. I never figured that one out. Both me and my middle brother have it (but not my oldest- not sure about my half brother- never met him). I suppose my mother is intelligent in a older woman way.

    My parents are freaks.

    Don't feel alone, Dis. My Mum is exactly like this too (although I never remember her being particularly rude when I was growing up ). It occurred to me some time ago that there is a definite role reversal between parents and their children. When the children become adults the parents go the opposite way and become childish, insular and intolerant. As yet I haven't found a satisfying solution to this problem!!!

        I know where mine (such as it is) comes from. All of my maternal grandmother's family either have PhDs in molecular biology or are in asylums. Or both

          My parents are the bomb.

          I loved them very much.

                From your innumerable connections with OT posters, maybe.

                    LordShiva's dad was a Tamil professor.

                        Nope

                        My parents are almost exceptional in their bland normality. . . I am never embarrassed by them.

                          Both parents are lawyers. So are both grandfathers. And three uncles (out of six). And one aunt.
