1. Will you be shopping on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

2. "5 months of bills...." as the song says. Do you have a budget for the holidays or do you have "5 months of bills..."?

3. What is one food that most people make for Thanksgiving that you do not like?

4. Do you dress up for Thanksgiving?

growing up too fast, IMO, doesn't only mean being forced to shoulder responsiiblity too soon, it's also about parents who vicariously are living through their children too.

Yep, that's pretty much our rule in the car as well. Partially because the driver can't choose another option like reading or using headphones.

As the driver, though, I wouldn't deliberately choose something others in the car hated. fortunately, we've not really had to cross that bridge.

Can you give a few examples of things that you think parents should not have to give up for their kids? Or, maybe a few areas where parents can "get their way"?

Having an influence on children's musical tastes is now not only brainwashing, but is also living vicariously through the children, and also means said children grew up to fast?

I need a translation. Has anyone got a clue about what egd meant about parents living vicariously through their teens and forcing immoral decisions on them? I'd ask her, but she never responds when I ask for a clarification. Thanks.
