My parents forced me to do dumb stuff always justifying it solely with you will thank me when you are older. It built up resentment in me that my parents thought I would just sit around doing nothing without them standing over my shoulder criticising and controlling me.

At 34 I paid my own way through life and have nothing to thank them for but wasting my youth. I don't do any of the things they forced me too it was all a waste of time and I still resent them because they never learned, they still think this whole internet thing is a fad and that some day I will thank them, we don't talk much.
