I was pretty sheltered, honestly, and my family still treats me like a "little cutie pie" kid and it's infuriating. I'm not trusted to do anything right myself, so I barely trust myself anymore.

When I was 10 years old, I asked for pistachios at an amusement park vendor and my dad kept acting like I didn't know what they were or that they had shells, although I had them plenty of times before and I kept telling him.

Imagine that sort of stuff but when you're 21. Yeah.

When you have kids, make sure to not baby them too much as they grow up. It really screws them up later in life.

Don't think kids will happen. But okay, I'll remember
Though you are a little cutie pie here

Kids are weird.  They drive me nuts, but I love them fiercely.  Not like the magic of romantic love or the dependent love for my parents, it's a strange love.


It's... asymmetric.
I can't explain it.


You would like me as a parent Mishko, I'm the opposite if anything.  I assume they are capable until they prove otherwise and even then it's only "for now".


I just assume they can do anything and know obscure things that many adults don't and so they just do!
I guess I'm doing something right

Hahaha!  Yeah, I'm not like that Hell.  But I am very accommodating.  Where possible I will try and allow for there preferences and given them as much freedom to choose as I can.  As a result they can be very fussy, but out of good taste and expereience rather than arbitrariness I think.


But other parents have told me that I am both too indulgent and too strict!  Go figure.


Anyway, I may be mostly afk from here on.  So keep up that count average!

Now that Michen is around we will. See ya later Trixsie!

Ah. Well, we can still bump the average long ways anyway.

[HellEye]

115,102

Yeah... With an average of above 300... And next month we might even hit 400 if Ibi sticks around. Even with a break for the con. >.< I want the con!

I've found many people tend to think in extremes, so if you're told you're both extremes about equally, you're probably a decent balance.

Good thing we're not people. But yeah, I agree.

That's what I'm hoping Mishko! 


I'm usually too lazy to do the math game, but I'm so glad you've carried on the tradition Michen.

[HellEye]

1+1+5+1+0=8

I'm too lazy too... But it's fun! Might do one every once in a while.
