Well don't call her a ***** if you wanna keep your lips but yea just compare her to other parents.


Sorryy :frown: But like I ain't never in a million yrs gonaa be a parent like her, I'd feel sorry for em, now she wants me to massage her legs every two seconds, I've got work to do mann, how tf am I gonaa pass my exams. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH :angry:
My parents always compare my grades with their friend's children's grades like how they got all A*/A grades and expects me to get the same. Always on about how much more hardworking they are due to starting GCSE revision in September in comparison to me starting 2/3 months before the exams. How I could have gotten much better grades if I did not sit in front of a TV all year until 2/3 months before the exams.

Lmao can't wait? Just...do it...go to a mate's house. I mean it's not a wise choice but it is a choice. I was a "habitual runaway" since I were a wee kid and it helped me in some places and hurt me in others.
