See, that's the type of thing I'm talking about.

I personally don't get rides anywhere. I don't drive by choice, and I don't ask people for rides. If I need to get somewhere, I walk, or take a cab to a skytrain station.

That said - What's the difference between getting a ride from a friend, or a parent - if you are in need of a ride, and it's on the way - not if you are asking them for a ride.

Well I think one of the major issues here is a lot of people have shitty parents. Like super shitty parents. Take mine as an example.

Goes something like this:

Me: Hey Mom and Dad I have something important to talk to you about.

Them: Yeah ok.

Me: I'm gay

Them: Get the Fuck out of our house.


Ok so that's like a cut down version of the truth, but basically I haven't seen or heard from my parents in over 2 years. I don't care either. They sucked. Am I sometimes slightly jealous that my friends all have parents they enjoy spending time with? Hell yeah. Does this sometimes make me say snide things like "Momma's boy"? Yes, it does.

Usually though, I don't berate my friend's parents. I found it more common for this scenario:

Me: Sup Kara, what are you doing today?

Kara: Gonna go chill with my mom, so boring.

Me: Your mom is cool as fuck though

Kara: Meh she's still my mom.

That's how it usually goes in my circle.

Also a lot of times you just don't get a lot from your parents. Like I was waaaay smarter than my parents, and they just didn't understand anything I was doing or interested in. So from like 8th grade and up we just rarely had much to chat about.

Also my dad is a jerk. Just throwing that out there.
