1.
When you have to start paying your own rent.
2.
The horrifying realisation that grocery shopping is ridiculously expensive.
3.
Not to mention how tedious doing groceries is.
4.
When you're moving house and have to build new furniture.
5.
The days where you struggle to get to work on time...
6.
When you're trying to cook your first three-course dinner.
7.
And the times you try to put limits on eating junk food.
8.
In fact, it's easy to be grateful that your mother or father had a healthy dinner on the table at all after working all day...
9.
You now appreciate your parents insistence that it was time to switch off the TV and go to bed.
10.
Or their insistence it was time to switch off the computer and go outside and play.
11.
And even if both your parents worked, they managed to keep the house clean and presentable.
12.
You're now aware of how much of a saint your mother was for driving you around on weekends.
13.
And you're even starting to believe your parents were totally right when they banned you from drinking alcohol until you were the legal age.
14.
So considering all the shit you put them through over the years, you're just damn grateful they even want to know you.
