5 Things I Should Have Listened To My Parents About The First Time
http://www.dadhasrights.com/2016/02/17/what-about-her-parents/

Growing up, like most kids my parents always seemed to have taught me some sort of lesson. If it wasn’t about cleaning my room, it was about the proper way to talk to people or some other piece of advice or old saying that usually went through one ear and out of the other. Over my years of selective hearing, I’ve managed to hold on to a few things that I have discovered are actually true and have helped me throughout the years. It almost makes me wish I had listened more! If you too ignored your parents sometimes, check out my list to see what you may have missed!


1. "What is for you can never be un-for you!"

In other words, RELAX! Don't worry about the future. What is meant to be will be!



2. "Well I'm not (insert 'lil friend's' name here) mother so I don't care what his parents allow!"

Alternatively, not everyone is raised the same as you, just worry about upholding your core morals and let them act up in public if they want to.



3. Always, and I mean always, be polite even if it hurts.

You never know who you'll run into later on.



4. "Be nicer to your sister..."

She always has my back at the end of the day! (As in she sold me her old MacBook for $300)



5. "Treat me well because you'll miss me when I'm gone!"

Now that I'm not living at home anymore, I think I might die without seeing my parent's faces every day!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:
