1. People assume you are siblings, not parent-child.

Stranger: "Oh, is this your older sister?"

You: "No, this is my mom."

2. Fighting over sharing clothes.

Parent: "Hey, have you seen my -"

You: *sees them wearing the item of clothing you're looking for*

3. Not being able to get away with much, because they remember what it's like to be a teenager.

You: "Can I go out with my friends?"

Parent: "No, what are you doing? You know, it wasn't that long ago that I was your age."

4. Meeting your friend's parents and realizing that it's not "normal" for parents to be your parent's age.

Anyone, ever: "Wait...so how old were your parents when they had you?"

5. Your parents probably have the same social media accounts that you do.

Parent: "I saw that post you made earlier, do you wanna talk about it?"

You: *eye roll*

6. Your parent may get mistaken for your significant other.

Stranger: "So, was that your boyfriend?"

You: "What?! No, gross! That was my dad!"

7. You share the same taste in music.

Friend: "You're so lucky, your parents are young and listen to pop music!"

8. They (try) to keep up with popular slang.

Parent: "Hey, fam, you looking on fleek, my bae."

You: "I'm sorry, what did you just say? That was not English."

9. Listening to them encourage you to not follow in their footsteps.

Parent: "Okay, you need to be safe because I don't want you to end up in the same situation as us."

You: *sighs, because you've heard this a million times*

10. Having a permanent best friend.

Yeah, they will drive you crazy sometimes, but they will always mean the absolute world to you. Even though having children young may not have been their plan, you know that you wouldn't have had it any other way.

Thank you, mom & dad.
