      Lol my parents did this to me. “No free rides in this house! If you’re going to live here, you’re gonna have to work!”. You guys are the ones who created me!

        Yeah i straight up said it to my mother’s face when she pulled that on me one (several) time(s) too many. She got real mad about it but she chilled out a little. Toxic nonsense.
