Weird or Embarrasing Parents

 

 

Well, some parents are not just weird, but proud of being very, very strange. Also, they have a way of embarrassing their children, especially when they are with friends. As to the one above, I'm not sure that she did what she said. Actually, it's such a dumb ruse that I don't believe her - but still, it may have happened .... 

What are kids for? Right, they may come handy ....

Some poor children really have a hard time dealing with weird parents. Many stay weird even when moving to another country:  

Quora-question: "How can I deal with my parents being weird and strict? Honestly, they are so weird that they embarrass me in front of my friends. What can I do? By the way, my parents were both immigrants to the U.S. 20 years ago, but they still act Asian."

That's tough, as the only way to put an end to that situation will be to disown the Asian parents and start looking for some American ones. Hopefully, the frustrated Asian kid doesn't end up with someone like this:

In her opinion, a strangled baby may be better than no baby

Good times were once many years ago, and, sadly enough, many forget that they had such fun with a loving parent. They may even feel that they had an awful childhood.

Yup, the back of most grown-ups are built for piggy rides

 

Unfortunately, living in a patriarchy, some (mostly male) parents don't feel the same happiness at the birth of a daughter than of a son. For instance, king Henry VIII of England was very, very disappointed at the birth of his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. Only Edward (VI) made him rejoice, as he needed a male heir to save the Tudor-dynasty. Actually, his daughters were of much more historical value ....

 

OK, I admit it's somewhat weird, but so what when it's also very, very loving?

A happy moment to remember when the time of old age comes for the big one, and adulthood for the small one, but, alas, many forget that it happened 

As long as we can't shop parents - or kids - we shall have to come to terms with "weirdness" while rejecting cruelty, abuse or murder.
