Billy just seems obnoxious and people like that annoy me.

 

OMG Lydia is playing with PRVIS on Friday night. I'm going to pass out!!

 

Speaking of, I thought this was a funny tweet

 

I hate asking for money from friends or family. I haven't had to ask for a while so I think if i needed it now, I wouldn't feel as bad, but I would still hate asking.

boyfriend helps me a lot on his own without me even having to ask so that is always nice. But I always pay him back or get him something I know he would like as a thank you.

 

Would actually die first before asking family for money even though both sets of parents are rich af. I'd rather sit in my current struggle and work 80 hours a week.

 

I liked him in Neighbors 2. Because he didn't yell. That's about it.

He was too much on Parks for me.

 

See, basically, my dad has made really good money most of my life. But after my parents got divorced, I always went out of my way to make sure he knew that I wanted our relationship as father/son to not be anything to do with his money and everything to do with the fact that he's my dad. I literally was thinking this way from like age 6, I'm not normal.

He recently told me he's offended that I never ask him for anything because that's why he's always worked so hard to make sure I had everything I needed. So here I am, needing something, knowing he wants me to ask, and absolutely wanting to do anything but ask him.

 

If y'all don't like Billy you just don't care enough.

 

He's like a human CapsLock.

 

Me and my wife were not going to go on a honeymoon for awhile until we had saved up until my dad asked where we were going and I told him, so he bought as an all inclusive trip to Mexico. He said the same things @Garrett L. your dad said but seeing as we had an 8 year fall out where we didn't speak at all I don't want him thinking I an back for his money. If anything i just want him as a friend.

 

I couldn't stand Craig until the episode where he and Jean-Ralphio had the go karts/horses exchange. But outside of P&R I probably wouldn't find that personality funny.

 

THIS.

It's so weird to be in this place where now it's an interaction as adults, too. There should be a required college minor: "Your Parents Are Equals Now and Other Miscellaneous Adulting Shit."

 

I'm not typically an anxious person but if I have to ask family for help it wrecks me. My dad is the exact same; he worked very hard and has more than he knows what to do with, but I don't ever ask him for anything because I've never had a very good relationship with him. I know my mom will help me if I need it but in my mind I would rather do without whatever I need than ask for help.

 

My dad just got laid off after 10 years at his company so right now the "Bank of Daddy" is closed. Thankfully I have a good job so right now all is good.

 

Oh my god..I almost peed my pants from laughing.

 

Like I appreciate the gifts he gives me sometimes and he offers to pay for trips we could go on together (even though I largely cant bc married and we work) but it's not what I want the premise of our relationship to be. He reaches out but it seems like he always has an offer for me. I reach out and call him long distance (he in Canada) to tell him I bought a house, tell him about personal emotional things and things of that nature so I wish he could eliminate money from the equation. I would take that class tbh

 

'Bank of Daddy' was me taking $20 out of his dresser when I ran out of lunch money. lol

 

She doesn't look anything like me and you know that hahaha

 

People say I look like people all the time good and bad and I never see it. I'm terrible at recognizing those type of things.

 

Same. Not sure if it's the same for you, but sometimes the only way to get my dad to open up is to get him drinking. Don't really want that in the relationship, either.

 

I think you meant Billy Mays

 

Dad was an alcoholic so it used to be like that. He's been sober like ten years though so it can be tough but I'm an overly emotional person so once i get talking they are almost forced to participate. They being my dad and step dad who I have identical relationships with lol.

 

I will never see my parents as equals. No matter how old I get they're still the people who raised me and there's a level of respect I don't have for friends or peers.

Plus I go to them for advice all the time

 

Hey, I'm 32 years old and that man will always be daddy. He knows something is wrong If i just call him Dad.

 

Congrats on your dad! I've always wondered where my dad flirts with the alcoholic line. It goes up and down as time goes. I think he's a little more aware about it lately, though. I have a hard time being emotionally honest with him, but pretty much no one else, so it's gotta be a big block for me somewhere.

I definitely go to mine all the time for advice and weight their opinions higher than anyone else's. Kinda meant it more as equals means "your decisions are your own and they can't make all of them for you" anymore. Agency over equality, I guess?
