I honestly think I could secretly download BLOPS and my parents could think it was TF2.

black ops.
I know but what.
What does that have to do with 'forgeted logic.' That's just parents not knowing what stupid games their kids are playing.

parent's can't tell the difference between games on a credit card bill?

My mom doesn't like the fact that I am on my computer all day, but she also doesn't like me hanging out with friends on the street.

YOU HAVE NO LIFE, GO HANG OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS

My mom thinks every single website that asks for credit card information is going to suck every penny out of her bank account. I have literally explained every aspect of SSL there is to explain, she still doesn't trust any of it.

My dad hates passwords with a passion (not to mention he's super unintelligent when it comes to computers). Seriously, I helped him set up an online banking account (quoted 99% verbatim):

Me: Okay, your account's almost set up, you just need to enter a security question.
Him: What's that?
Me: It's an extra safeguard to protect your password, so that people who want your banking info can't simply click on the "I forgot my password" button and enter your email address to get your password, assuming they know your email add--
Him: goddamnit, why do I have to go through all this stuff, it's just a password, it's not like I'm ever going to lose it, why do these starfishs have to make this stuff so goddamn complicated.
Me: ...

Both of my parents also think it's all my fault that the desktop computer is forgeted up beyond repair, even though it was my dad who was stupid enough to click on one of those "YOUR COMPUTER HAS X VIRUSES, IT MUST BE SCANNED NOW!" things on some website. That's not to mention that I rid the computer of the virus that ad gave it, which admittedly didn't take me very long, but my parents seem to have no memory of it. So each time the desktop freezes/runs slowly/does something they don't like, I hear them blaming me, usually accompanied by some colorful language.

I can hang out at a certain place, but she just doesn't like me wandering around town for some reason. My best friend's parents are like that though. During the summer, he can't hang out with friends for every day he does hang out with friends. The reason why is because "he can't have too much fun."

That's not really a problem on their end.  The parents trusted him and then the kid tricked them into buying some other game.

Sucks for you guys, my mom is the best. Except when she gets a bit schizophrenic.

Can we trade?


My parents think sitting in a dark room watching a movie is spending time with the family
