one of the worst pieces of advice given by parents

How many of you have been told by your parents at least once in your life, “Don’t grow up too fast!” Well as true as the statement is, I don’t think parents should be allowed to give it! Honestly, 75% of the time they’re the reason kids want to grow up yeah? Your parents tell you, you can’t do something so you’re immediate reaction is to think “when I get older I won’t have to ask for permission,” or simply “I can’t wait till I’m in college,” etc. I’m one of those people that really doesn’t like the idea of growing up sometimes and would much rather stay a kid, but sometimes I’d rather be an adult because in my mind I’m thinking “My household will be so much different when I get older,” or “I’ll let my kids do this when I get older.” It’s really frustrating because when they say it, it’s such a contradictory statement. Basically what’s being said is “Don’t grow up too fast, even though the only reason you want to grow up is because of something I did, so technically I’m just increasing your want to grow up.” I mean that’s what I get out of it! Anyway, that’s my little tidbit. CATS opens in a week and a half and their still so much to do! My grandmother comes Friday, which I’m excited about, and my parents leave for Spain on the 6th I believe. That’s basically what’s going on right now, so if you don’t hear from me for a little while know it’s because I’m at rehearsal!
