Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm 19 and my dad is 42 and he loves most of the bands that I do. He was even going to take me to a concert. . .but they cost a shitload of money. It's crap. They so need to lower their ticket prices!!

As much as this issue annoys me, kindly do not disrespect her. For the most part, she is wonderful. Yes, she has her quirks, but she is also a decent parent, gifted to be able to raise ten children (yes, I do have nine siblings---lucky me, I am the oldest) and give us what we need. It is natural for a parent to be concerned about what their child does or listens to, and it is great to know that she cares for the welfare of my being, unlike so many other of my friends.

There is actually some humor in this, though. The other day, she was putting some of my files back onto our computer (it had been infected with several viruses, we had just gotten it back, and all of our files were saved to disks. However, the disks were still infected and had to be run through a special program before installation). The scanning program was goign through m files rather quickly, and she was reading parts of the files as they came up.

"Stories...pictures...role play...role play...Linkin Park..."

She said it so calmly it was amusing. She gave me this playful "Pssh" and a flick of her hand as my song files passed by, and it was like she had not cared before. I was very amused by this and had to smile.

Yes, parents can be weird. Mine generaly don't care so long as the band isn't cursing or screaming---which eliminates some of their songs (exception of things like ""Runaway," where there's like, 30 seconds or less of screaming), and I tend to listen to a lot of other stuff anyway, so yeah. And LadyShini and Nightmare1 are both right. Don't take your parents for granted, especially if you're lucky enough to have ones that care.

no wait that part about how my parents hate "crawling" wasnt true my dad said that "crawling" has grown on him and now he really likes it xd but my mum still dosent like the screaming Lp songs

i would say that i play it non stop biggrin biggrin 3nodding heart wink

both mum and dad are like your mum but i bought the emenem album with my own money but they still took it of me AGGR! they hate it when the music swears and when i play it over and over and over and over... and over again dad gets really pissed off if i do that

my moms first reaction
mom: *banging on door* MARK WAT ARE YOU DOING
me: *turning down stereo* listening to music
mom: well could you keep it down

she doesnt really care what i listen too as long as its not just a long string of cusswords she couldnt care less which i think is pretty cool, but if my dad were still alive i doubt he would have been as accepting of the music i listen too and i can guarantee he woulnt have like me listening to slipknot.
