So....here's my rant for this entire season.

I live in San Francisco, where the skiing in tahoe is 3-4 hours away and I rarely get to go skiing, normally like 15 days per year. I just got into newschool last year, and my dad has HATES it. He thought it was a phase and that I would get over it, but I haven't and I never will. So I asked my mom if I could go to High North and she sent me and my dad thought that after a week of straight park I would get over it. Boy was he wrong. I became more obsessed and I can't stop thinking about skiing every day like many of us. So my dad now won't EVER let me go up skiing on the weekends, and only lets me go when he wants to go, which is rare because he doesn't like to take me to ski park, even though my friends who have cabins invite me all the time and go up every other weekend.

Now, my parents won't even let me go up to COC even though I can and will make the money.  This is the most frustrating ski season of my LIFE. I really can't stand this shit any longer and Im gonna call my dad every day next year at the U of Utah and tell him im going skiing EVERY SINGLE DAY.

dude, you may not realize this, but a lot of parents still have a tight hold on their kids untill they are like 18/19. if i do anything stupid and piss off my father, he doesnt help me pay for college, he stops paying for my food and stops letting me live in his house.

i laugh when i see shit like : Mom wants to me stop because i might hurt myself and this is dangerous, Dad doesnt give a fuck and if i get injured he will laugh and tell me im retarded.

My mom Hates that I ski park, i called her out once and we had a full on argument and i told her she was negative about everything and i think it hit her,

My dad loves the fact that I do what I want even if I get negative vibes from certain people, he supports me fully.

Just to add, my mom just fucking woke me up and screamed at me for 5 mins twice, so im pissed and cant sleep, It's because of a mixup and me and my bro left her car, which i drive fully since she drives my dads because hes away during the week (she cant drive properly) at the garage because the tires are being changed because the car is being sold since we got a new one. She tells me im retarded and retarded again...I have a fucking exam tomorow and shes spazzing because the car stayed overnight at the garage. All this after she woke me up from my sleep.

Ns is relaxing though

ORLY Alex_G?
i feel sorry for you.
my parents are steve montana and jerry young and they support my skiing 100%.
they let me ski whenever i want and over the last year i have really improved...
after skiing almost 100 days this season i feel for you hxc and bro, just talk to ur parents and do something like meth.
once u start ull never be able to quit and itll eventually ruin ur life.

i ♥ you.
