1. First of all, the concept of privacy does not exist.
2. Your parents, your siblings, your dog, the next door neighbour — they're always up in your business, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
3. Which often means that your parents will walk into your room, unannounced, and just stand there, looking for something that needs to be cleaned, repaired or lectured about.
4. And don't even think about putting a lock on your door — unless you want to go through the trouble of being yelled at.
5. You become the go-to person whenever there are any technology issues.
6. And the designated driver at events that you're all invited to — because your parents have now decided to live their best lives and get lit.
7. On the flip side, coming home drunk or going through a particularly rough hangover is never not awkward.
Mum: How was your night?
Me: Yeah, it was...fun *mind flashes back to all the shots I probably shouldn't have done, followed by a hazy Uber ride home with a friend*.
