Do you have those times with your parents when, although you know in your best of hearts that they are concerned with your well being, they push all the wrong buttons on you and you just start to think that they actually enjoy doing it considering how often it's occurring? And they seem to be picking these little arguments with you on purpose, just to watch you squirm and have an excuse to bitch about you while you just sit down in bed, tears in your eyes, confused about what the hell they truly think about you?

Well I've just had one of those times. Again. It's like a weekly ritual.

F*** my life.

That's just part of growing up I guess. I suppose you could try and explain to them that you need some space every now and then.

I understand where you're coming from, Ra. From the time I was fourteen until a few months before I got married, so nineteen, almost twenty, I had many a sparring match with my parents. It would always start out as a typical parent/child disagreement and then I had to hear about how difficult it was to live with me, blah, blah, blah. They were always able to push all my buttons.

After I had been married for a year or two, I sat down with my mum and told her how I felt about all the fights we had and why it seemed they picked on me and not my sisters. We had a good talk and have been even closer ever since. I'm sure everything will work out for you Ra! Hang in there and remember that this too shall pass

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 05-18-2009, 02:15 AM

I am sorry you feel bad Ra and I know it's difficult but I agree it will pass with time and understanding.

I had a lot of those moments when I was a teen. I think my parents and I just didn't see eye to eye because I was completely opposite in my interests and parts of my personality then either of my them.
I was also their first child and I guess what most parents would call "learning experience"
I admit I was difficult and they admit they just didn't always understand me.

What helped was just getting older and eventually we started respecting each other more and more. It was mostly my mom and I who clashed but now in my 20s we are closer now then we ever were when I was a teen.
I also attribute it to my leaving for college. We just gained a new appreciation for each other after we spent some time apart.

Been there. STILL there in most respects. I feel for you.

*Cure* · 05-27-2009, 05:35 PM

I just read on a Snapple Fact that screeched is the longest one syllable word. Are syllables debatable? Cuz to me, it's like 2, or at least one and a half. Like, screech-duh. OH WELL.

*gobo* · 05-27-2009, 05:53 PM

That's some heavy ****, man...

*Hannah* · 05-27-2009, 07:48 PM

The "duh" at the end isn't a syllable! You suck!

*Storm Wolf* · 05-29-2009, 11:35 AM

Well....With all of the "downer" news and such, I figured I'd try and deliver some good news to some of my good pals here.

KROW has asked me to marry him!

I figured the Technodrome would be the place to announce this news....as we did meet through here!

I have to say...tho it may sound quite corny that I'm one of the more grateful fans of TMNT...Who would have know that I would meet my fiance and future husband on a TMNT fan forums....as opposed to E Harmony or some dating site?

I must thank all the "old timers" here who kept this place interesting enough for me to keep coming back!

Haven't set a date yet, but I'm willing to keep anyone posted who is interested.

*The Stryker* · 05-29-2009, 11:37 AM

So, turns out one of my mentors in the biz is being accused of abusing a monkey in japan.

......F**k my life.

Funny that two days ago, out of sheer boredom, I browsed Wikipedia article on the longest words in the English language and it seems that:

Quote:

Schmaltzed and strengthed appear to be the longest monosyllabic words recorded in OED; but if squirrelled is pronounced as one syllable only (as permitted in SOED for squirrel), it is the longest.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest...notable_length

So yup.

And congrats to Stormy and KROW. It's about frigging time!

*gobo* · 05-29-2009, 12:02 PM

Congrats, Storm Krow!

Meeting someone out on your own isn't a possibility anymore?

**Machias Banshee** · 05-29-2009, 12:52 PM

Congratulations, Stormy and KROW!!!

Sorry. I misquoted my thoughts. I meant, "all-super-sized".

It's my new gimmick. I quote someone that made a mistake, use an ellipsis or two and leave it at that.

Monkey abuse.
