A rant

Well here we go.

I just got grounded today (im in college, back at home,) for not coming home last night and blowing off curfew. Here is how my night went. I left the house at about 1000, to go meet some friends. i left the house as the dd. my dad told me as i left, "son, be home by 1230 and no drinking." this was going to be no problem. i was dd, and i could be a little late coming home. no big deal.

a new ride to the party is found and i begin drinking. this is my first party since college, and forgot my tolerance disappeared when i left college. got sick. reaaaallly sick. It is decided that i sleep at my friends house. i have my moms car, as my brother borrowed mine.

my dad comes home today and lays into me. he tells me that i made some bad choices last night, and that i am letting my personal life slip into the depths of oblivion. he also states that i am being unproductive. he keeps me from going to my friends birthday dinner and party.

and this is where my rant starts. while i did mess up last night, i am not unproductive and i believe that i am on track to become a leader, and being in college, i can afford to take care of myself when it comes to my personal life. i am in an honors program at my university, have a 3.5 in that program, am active in my fraternity, work my tail off at red robin, and still find time to train for two triathalons this summer. i think i can afford to sleep in till 11 when i can and do some partying. my personal life is not a mess, it is thriving. i take care of my body, mind, and spirit (i am a devout presbyterian christian) and im active in ym church. there is no FUCKING way i am unproductive.

in short, fuck parents and their sheltered suburban shit morals and how they think that i am throwing my life away. i hope i make more money than my family could ever dream of, garner more attention and fame, and say that their retired asses are being unproductive as they collect their social security checks.

im taking my fat, unfit father on a run tomorrow, and tell him, as he is weezing and struggling to breathe from hauling his overweight ass to keep up with me, that he is being unproductive, lazy, and not taking care of himself. maybe the words he told me will ring in his head a little bit and he will reconsider what he thinks of me. ill let you know how it goes ns.

your in college and you have a curfew?

do your parents think your a little kid or something? tell your parents your old enough to make the decision of what time you will be home, or if your going to be coming home at all.

Best finisher ever.

No but seriously it sounds like you're fine bro. It also sounds like its about that time that you need to begin considering an apartment pronto. Your parents, though they love you (They always do) don't seem to appreciate your presence and company. If they did they'd probably treat you something like my parents treat me, as a mature young adult in college capable of making their own decisions.

Once you move out they'll realize what they're missing.

Shitty deal man. Best of luck

hahaha you're over 18 buddy. you don't have a curfew and if you weren't a bitch you wouldn't be grounded.  that was a rich story, i laughed.  your dad should be enjoying a beer with you and happy to have you around for a few months.

Your parents sound a lot like mine, except my dad is relatively fit and the hardest working person I know (seriously)

I say just put up with it.  You're home for the summer, it's only 3 months and in these 3 months that you're around your parents and showing them how you've changed and grown while you were away.

They don't see you while you're away so maybe they don't know how hard you work while in session.  All they see is you doing what you're doing.

If you want, sit your parents down and explain it and try to make a deal, or if your dad is like mine, just shut up and do as you're told.  You have a free reign for 9 months out of the year, who cares?  Make up for it when you get back to school.  That's what I do.  That way I have his blessing while I'm away.

seriously dude, if youre just trying to save money for the summer id say go find some cheap rent in a frat or soemthing, thats rediculous. I didnt go back to my parents last summer and Im here for a couple months and now they get that if they dont let me live how I do than ill leave, and I dont think they want that for some reason. cut the cord, you sound a lot like me and im sure my presbyterian family and yours will react similarly

ok as everyone says you are an adult. buuuuuuuuuuut

you still live under your parents roof. so they still have control over you somewhat

your parents gave you some kind of guidelines... you disobeyed them and now you are mad because you got in trouble?

did you expect them to bake you a cake?

a good point, didnt think of that originally, but he could always get a job wherever he goes to school and take summer classes, seem like good excuses

its not that simple.  if his parents pay for school and he lives under their roof, he's their bitch.  its like that with my parents.  you can't start that fight now, you have to have started fighting back around 15.  you make slow progress, but you can't just give an ultimatum because that can go bad really easy.

my advice is if you don't plan on drinking, stick with it.  oh and the tolerance thing is a bitch, got reminded of that last night.
