Sam here....
Did you ever wonder how you've survived so long. You'd think wisdom comes with age but no, I think I'm the most mentally stable person in the house right now;
My fathers midlife crisis is ongoing with me arriving home from school to a living room full of vinyl and him sitting on the floor with his record player open in front of him blaring pink floyd. He didn't even go to work today. He's also picking carpet samples for the hall,stairs and landing, if he's picking them while listening to pink floyd, they will be more flamboyant than a very flamboyant thing!
My mother, is a danger to herself, how did I survive insider her for 9 months? After my dad made pork chops for dinner he put washing up liquid on the pan to soak the grease. My mother enters the kitchen, still hungry, and the following conversation takes place;
Dad; "Don't eat anything from the pan, it's full of fairy liquid.
*mother continues to reach for pan*
Seriously, don't eat anything, it's full of suds"
Mammy; *glares at father*
*eats soapy pork*
*Spits into sink and reaches for glass of water*
Everyone else; *laughs*
Older. Calmer. Wiser.

Welcome to the self-destructive parents club! My advice: start your memoirs early, don't waste valuable time. Also, thank them, for all the laughs if for nothing else. Cheers!
The ironic thing is that she works for social services!
