My parents views on choices.

I dont see any harm in the image of the, as you put it, "70's 80's rock star too tight stuff". I think I look damn good in it - I have a nice ass if I do say so myself, and neat blue jeans and a classic rock band shirt is far from an unruly impression. When I actually manage to tame my hair, I look pretty good, if somewhat gay - which, I think, is where their problem lies.

And the paying the bills thing? My dad's employer pays the rent, electric, and water bills. I'd be happy to pay my share of the five-dollar cable bill or the ten-dollar internet bill, and I already end up buying my own food four times out of five. Therefore, I should be able to wear any clothes I buy with my own money - he's not paying for me, honestly.

In fact, he's not paying for ME at all - everything he really gets, is for him - like the 1500 dollar handwired tube amp + preamp he just bought, against the council of everyone else in the family. Dick.

Yes, he is. His employer may actually pay the household expenses, but it is still your father's job that is allowing for those paid expenses. Honestly.

...and what? He isn't allowed anything fun just for himself?

I'm glad I always knew I never wanted children. I know what kind of child I was for my parents and I don't think I could have done as good of a job myself, as they did with me. I'm sure I still annoy my mother because I don't make the decisions she wants me to make...but the decisions I make, make me happy and don't harm others...so I don't let her harping bother me much.

I never had a big problem with my parents' rules. I might not have liked the rules but they were their rules. I was taught respect.

I started buying my own clothes when I first started working in the summers, but if I had tried to get away with a hooker outfit, that outfit would have gone into the trash. I was taught class.

Never for one minute would I think my dad was a d*** (can't even use that word in the same sentence) because he got something for himself. I liked my parents to be happy, too. I was taught love.

But, they sacrificed anyway, because they loved and respected me. Who or what is missing in your equation?
