my ears hurts so bad right now, i've been listening to my dad reading this article for the past 2 hours, i think my ears are gonna bleed. i tried to help him on his pronunciations and well it sort of helped, and now he won't stop reading, he sounds like a ADD kid... i think it's pretty funny though. Anyways, anything funny about helping your parents??

I enjoy helping my parents when I have time. I don't find it funny.
When I help my Mom to pronounce certain words, I feel proud of her for trying. |

My mom says she doesn't know how to turn on the PC, and tells me to do it for her. I doubt her reasons.

I help my parents a lot. & i don't find it funny.
my dad is one hell of a fob, and he's starting to get some pretty poor vision, so i help him out with reading and stuff. both my mom and dad are behind in the technology. so yeah `nuff said. a lot of the times i actually feel saddened because i know they're getting old.. |

My dad has health problems and takes all this medication so he fall's asleep everywhere. He's not suppose to drive, but he still does, and he falls asleep behind the wheel. It surpises me he isn't dead yet. But he falls asleep in the kitchen while hes eating and he will wake up with his face in his food. Or he falls asleep on the toilet for like 2 hrs. It gets annoying, he almost started a fire once, well...a few times. He falls asleep with a cigarette in his hand and drops it on the carpet.

I'll admit, sometimes I don't like helping my parents with words and such because i get pissed. But then i feel guilty afterward and try to help them out with things. I like helping them out with words sometimes though, it's fun to teach them new things.

my mom is studying for the realtor license test and she comes across these words that she doesn't know. she asks me what they mean and most of the time i can't help her because they're words that would only come up in a real estate test. and then she goes off on how i should study more vocabulary for the sats and blahblahbalh

My mother is annoying and always tells us the obvious. Like put the drink back in the fridge after pouring it. Or close lid of the washing machine or it wont wash. So we went around the house and post it labelled every piece of furniture and appliance and said how to use it. Like "chair, use this to sit on"
