When I was in high school, a friend called and asked for me, but it was after 9:30pm and that was a big no-no.&nbsp; But the worst part was it was a black guy who I was friends with.&nbsp; Up until that night my parents had managed to hide from me the fact that they have some racist tendencies.&nbsp; But my dad basically lost his mind that night, and from then on they didn't try to hide those &quot;tendencies&quot; so much anymore.<div><br /></div><div>The tables were turned quite a few years later.&nbsp; Not long after their first grandchild was born, my dad made a somewhat racist joke while we were visiting.&nbsp; It was my turn to lose my mind on him.&nbsp; I gathered up my baby and stormed out the door, and told my parents if they wanted to know their grandkids they would never say anything like that in front of them again.&nbsp; And they never have.</div>

<p>coming home drunk or high... more so my Dad. he'd hear me stumblin up the stairs and he'd be waiting at the door. can't say i remember much more than that.&nbsp; only happened a couple times. all i remember is one time he dropped me with a push, i felt nothing. another time i woke up and the lamp was busted up. </p><p>several times i came home with very bloodshot eyes from the weed (if i forgot visine) and he knew right away and would give me alot of grief. it turns out he turned me around. i distinctly remember my friends telling me how i stopped smoking and getting shitfaced. have to say i owe it to my pops</p><p>mom was different. i'd get arrested or in other trouble and when i got home she would break down and ask me why I'd want to hurt her and she would cry. it made me feel real bad. </p>

<p>It was actually my grandparents. When I was in 8th grade, all i wanted to do was get an earing. There was no way that was going to fly. So like the cool kid I was, i bough a magnetic one. I was home alone with some friends and I had it in. I basically forgot about it. Anyway the bell rings, and i open the door. Its my grandpa. he is a HUGE longshoreman. he looks are me for about 1/2 a second, reaches for my ear and rips the earing out. thank god it was magnetic or else i would have had a hole in my head. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I always got grief from my parents for not living up to my potential pre-college. i should have been an A student, and I was not. I kind of just did enough to get by. they drove them crazy because I would be off the charts on standardized tests. Once college rolled around, i picked up the slack and kicked some ass. they were happy then, but it took 12 years of bitching for them to shut up finally</p>

<p>I remember coming home from a Bar 9 night once, grasping onto the
stairs as i saw my brother brushing his teeth in the bathroom. He was
pretty disgusted about the stage i was in.</p><p>&nbsp;Good Times.<br />

<p>i'd get arrested or in other trouble and when i got home she would break down and ask me why I'd want to hurt her and she would cry. it made me feel real bad. </p><p>Yeah, I would too. Not to be a dick. but I would.</p><p>I'd be ALL about the guilt trips. Hence, I ain't having no kids. EVER.</p><p>Never.</p>

i was basically a good kid. never got into trouble at school (unless it
was because of my brothers), but my dad did give me so much shit when i
told him that i was moving to ny with furie and that we had started
talking about getting married. then he gave me shit when i was planning
the wedding and told him that my mother was going to be there. after
basically telling him that this is my life you can either accept my
choices and be apart of it oe not. that it was his choice. he came
around, finally!!<br />

<p>There was a lot of shit going on when I was unemployed.&nbsp; Fights, werid tension.&nbsp; The worst part was when I actually WAS looking for work.&nbsp; I mean sure, I was being lazy for a short time, but then when I wanted work, I had a lot of trouble finding anything.&nbsp; I didn't really have an answer for them.&nbsp; </p><p>Also, when I was getting very uninterested in College, there was a lot of tension and shit then too.&nbsp; The money that was in a bank accout for my college career was almost out, and if I had been doing well and seemed interested in college, my parents would have found the money to keep me going.&nbsp; But I slacked and did poorly, so they yanked me.&nbsp; I guess there was a lot of that &quot;my kid's not living up the potential I think he has&quot; bullshit for them.&nbsp; I can't blame them, every parent has high hopes for their kids.&nbsp; I don't regret it yet, but it's coming.</p>
