Whoa There Almost Homeless Guy

well if you are like my adoptive parents then you probably do everything for them. I actually tried to move out with a friend one time and they gave me a hundred reasons why I shouldn't, even though they are not stopping me by force or anything.

Your house, your rules and if your like mine, the rules are not even so bad.

Its not like most good American parents are slave drivers or anything......what's so hard about a few rules that are probably just formalities. Like letting them know if I am going to be late and letting them know where I will be, and no video games or foul movies in the house. No junk cars in front of the house .....stuff like that, most of it just common courtesy.

Rani, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I wish more young folks could grasp the reality of things like you do. Most, not all, of the younger generation has become numb to life's realities, how to communicate verbally, show respect etc.

The day to day life would be much nicer if they would understand it and practice it. I was in the TA truck stop the other night getting fuel. WHen i went in, I had to grab a couple of things. There was a young kid, maybe 10, that was walking around the store. When he got close and needed to walk by, he said "excuse me", I thought that was strange, as we just don't see it anymore, heck I don't see it from a lot of adults!

Of course, I can remember my parents saying the same thing some 45 years ago.
