-- Posted by Driftwood at 9:25 am on July 5, 2008 When people assume you live with both parents, you have both parents.... It's fucking annoying!!! grrrrrrr anyone else?? -- Posted by carbonara at 9:25 am on July 5, 2008 Some times. -- Posted by xJosex at 9:25 am on July 5, 2008 Yea it does. -- Posted by iinsurgent at 9:25 am on July 5, 2008 I've never heard that expression before. -- Posted by meghank91 at 9:26 am on July 5, 2008 I don't get annoyed. I just either pretend my parents live together or avoid the conversation. -- Posted by plumc0la at 9:26 am on July 5, 2008 i have both parents, but i can see that being really frustrating yes -- Posted by Ruben at 9:26 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from meghank91 at 9:26 am on July 5, 2008 I don't get annoyed.

It does take two people to make a child. You should just calmly mention that you only have one, or neither. They arent doing it on purpose to get at you. -- Posted by hollie midgley at 9:27 am on July 5, 2008 i ignore it -- Posted by Maxxie at 9:28 am on July 5, 2008 Hmmm why would you get mad at that? How can people know? -- Posted by Driftwood at 9:28 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from Spirit of Desire at 9:27 am on July 5, 2008 you cant complain at people for thinking you have both parents.

IT GETS ANNOYING! -- Posted by froufroufrou at 9:28 am on July 5, 2008 um... why.  thats a normal assumption to make.  don't get mad jsut correct them.  they won't do it twice. -- Posted by cyberpunk at 9:29 am on July 5, 2008 I'm cool with it, mainly because I do live with both of my parents. -- Posted by greenskittles at 9:29 am on July 5, 2008 i think its a reasonable assumption -- Posted by stiicky iicky at 9:30 am on July 5, 2008 I don't really give a fuck. -- Posted by zamrambo at 9:32 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from driscoll1997 at 9:27 am on July 5, 2008 its not their falt they assume the norm of society. Exactly.  If you don't have the fucking balls to tell them then don't get pissed at them for assuming otherwise. -- Posted by Innuendo Girl at 9:36 am on July 5, 2008 Just gently tell them that you don't have two parents. Society is way too diverse to be taking up valuable time playing guessing games about your family situation. When I'm at work and I need to find a kids parents, I don't say, "Where's your mom or dad, or step mom or step dad, or dad and dad or legal guardian" to be all inclusive. -- Posted by Driftwood at 9:36 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from zamrambo at 9:32 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from driscoll1997 at 9:27 am on July 5, 2008 its not their falt they assume the norm of society.

If you don't have the fucking balls to tell them then don't get pissed at them for assuming otherwise. i do fucking tell them!!! gods sake.... its just annoying when people make that assumption and i have tried to KINDLY explain to ppl that i dont have both parents and then the conversation turns rather awkward people should just think about it instead of autiomatically assuming -- Posted by zamrambo at 9:39 am on July 5, 2008 We assume the norm. Not our fault. -- Posted by Kankalicious at 9:40 am on July 5, 2008 Not really.. I only live with my mom but it doesn't bug me too much -- Posted by Driftwood at 9:53 am on July 5, 2008 yh well it would if your mum was dead. THERE AND IM NOT ATTENTION SEEKING JUST TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLLLLLY ANNOYED!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR UNDERSTANDDD!!!????!!!
