Now-a-days, I take my mums perceptions very seriously (albeit, sometimes, I do brush them off) because she can see things, that I can't. You can date whoever you want to, but don't ignore your father. That's asking to run into a swamp of mistakes.



Haha, most do, aye. That's because they've grown with you since you was that small little baby girl, and most of the time, they still see you as their "princess". Most dads will panic, until they see this boy, and judge him as worthy. So, if you make the right choice, your father will soon follow, don't worry.

(To be honest, if I have a daughter, she'll have a hard time finding a right boy, because I have this stern sense of what a young boy should be. So the smallest hint of an attitude would be instant fail in my eyes :P)
Parents are great for giving advice... but I don't know, I kind of think it depends on what kind of parents you have. I absolutely agree when this comes to my mother. I know she'll be there for me, no matter what. I'll always listen to her, even if I don't like what she's saying. My dad, on the other hand... well, when I said he was from I different generation, I kind of meant that he's racist, sexist, and homophobic. To the extreme. So, when I tell him I like women and bring back a woman for him to meet instead of a man, he's going to disown me. He came close to disowning me once already. So yeah, I think it depends on who the parents are.

Yesterday, I spoke to my father, and he basically told me that foreign countries are barbaric because they don't have the American justice system. That was one instance that I had to ignore him lol.


LOVE: pass it on
