so far, this will be day 4 of hooping daily and i've seen some improvements in my attempt to shoulder hoop, though it is far from being good. i believe the best thing for my relationship with my parents would be to take on more responsibility around the house, show i appreciate and respect them in that way and continue doing whatever i please in my leisure time. other than that, the best thing would be to move out entirely and only see them in time entirely dedicated to them. we will probably never find a middle ground where we both get what we want.
