This is just getting annoying
So my dad constantly feels the need to remind me that I don't need to be getting into trouble. my mom on the other hand is ok with me drinking as long as i am safe...which i plan on being! It is just really annoying to have my two authoritative figures differing on the rules while I am home. My dad likes to make little comments like...we were at a baseball game and a girl was drunk...not obvious not being overly loud or anything, but you could tell she was drunk, along with all the people she was with. When she came back up the stairs with another beer for her and her friend, my dad turns to me and says, "see that is when I would say you have a drinking problem." flat tone, nothing else. out of the blue. I didn't respond. How do you respond? All of you in college, as soon as you feel tipsy do you stop? I don't understand. Then later after we met up with my mom we were sitting in the hotel lobby bar area and my mom offered to buy me a drink, so we were discussing what the different ones were and she suggested an apple martini. which I have had before but wouldn't dare tell them that. My dad then turns and with a sour look says "no, no, no chris, that will knock her on her tail." my mom jokingly responds.."haha I kinda have the feeling it won't tom" my dad did not find it funny. I don't understand. In high school my dad was the one that always said there is a time and place to drink and that is in college. whereas my mom would just stick with a strict no drinking. Now the roles have reversed...and I don't understand it. I am in college. I have my own house. I live 2 states away, I have faced all of the consequences by my self, and can now make good, safe decisions. I am threw with being home already.
