What ever happened to " I was your age once you know"

Maybe it's because they're getting old that the grumpy-ness seems to kick in. I'm not sure. But one thing I know for sure is, as much as they love, care, or look after you. Parents are a bigger pain in the arse than children. We're trying to live our life as we want whilst we can. Before having to take so much responsibility with things, right? So why is it, you always get the over protective parent that makes you come in for a certain time, and if you're a second late, all hell brakes loose? The one that shouts if you leave something out, and it's in their way. Although seconds later you're tripping over their belongings. The constant reminder that the kitchen is not a cafe and even though they can eat when they want, you can't! One of the most annoying things is being told by one parent to help with the chores, ( which is fair enough ) But when the other one is sat on their lazy arse sat on the couch watching t.v it's bang out of order! So what if they care for us? Fair enough we need it and we try to be the best person we possibly can. But there is just no pleasing some people! We are who we are and if you don't like it bugger off, we're not going to change for no one. Also, to ALL the parents out there, if you shout, we most likely wont listen, or talk to you how you talk to us. No were not answering back, we're giving you a taste of your own medicine. " I was your age once you know!" - Oh really? Somehow I find that difficult to believe!!
