Our parents are our first teachers, banks, chefs, and doctors. They are the ones that know us the best in the world and what makes us upset or happy. Fortunately, this strong bond between parent and child works the other way as well. We know exactly the right times to ask for money or homework help based on one twitch of our parents' eyes. However, slip-ups do occur, resulting in an infuriated parent and a regretful child. Here are the 5 worst unintentional things we say to our parents to trigger them.

1) " Can I have some money? I'm broke and you're the one who has a job."

Asking for money is always a risky move. We have to determine what mood our parents are in, and ask at an appropriate time. I find it best to ask for money just as I'm about to leave the house, so they are bound to give me at least $20. However, the moment you tell them "I am broke" is when the trouble starts. My parents end up giving me a lecture on hard work and ethics, and how we should provide for ourselves instead of borrowing other people's money. My advice: nod along until they pay you.

2) " Take me shopping, I have nothing to wear."

This one always ends up in a bad situation for me, no matter what mood my parents are in. Every single time I ask my mom to take me shopping, she drags me upstairs to my closet and counts the number of clothes and shoes I have, and reminds me of the numerous people around the world who don't have any clothes. Feeling guilty, I clean out my closet and donate some of my old clothes, and then I'm left with even less clothes than before. Every single time.

3) ":I can't wash the dishes, I have to study."

You'd think that my parents would be happy that I was studying. But not in my household- every single time I tell my parents I can't do my chores because I have homework (which actually is the truth) I end up getting yelled by my dad, while he teaches me the art of time management and how to do all things during the same time.

4) " Can you make me something? I'm hungry."

I have the accompanying lecture to this question memorized by heart. As my mom never fails to remind me, I am at my home, not a hotel, and I have to actually be involved in household activities. If I'm hungry, I should either get something to eat myself, or help my mom make something.

5) " I'll clean my room later"

To be completely honest, chances are I won't clean my room later. My parents are well aware of this fact, so every single time I accidentally pull out this excuse,they never fail to remind me how inconsistent I've been with cleaning my room 'later' in the past. This argument always ends with me cleaning my room, but also my parents as a lesson on organization.

Regardless, my parents are my role models, and this little quirks are what makes them special. As their child, it is my job to remember what annoys them, since they know what exactly annoys me. If you know of some other weird things that trigger your parents, don't hesitate to share and comment.
