I love being trash talked by my parents it's wonderful. Though it is nice to know that my brother defends me.

When you are from a family of super successful people anything less than that is failure and is open to trash talking. I guess my father had said to my brother I wish your brother [that's me] would have told us he never wanted to go to college.

Well one I was never given an option. I had to go to college it was non negotiable. Number two I dropped out so I could party and pursue celebrity status which didn't happen.

As a result of never finishing and not having a good career or high powered job or any sort of status I'm the family loser. It's open season on me I guess. I am grateful that my older brother does defend me and informs me of any verbal lashings I get from family.

I think parents just want success for their children. They know they will leave their children (you) alone in this world some day. They want to pass the wisdom they’ve accumulated on to you so that you can be successful and lead a happy life. That’s what most parents want anyway. I have a son too so I know. Young people including myself once upon a time tend to think about the now and not the later because they aren’t worried about it. It’s easy to get caught up in the bow. It won’t always be there though. We get tired eventually too. We won’t always have the drive. In my experience some people aren’t suited for a life of high maintenance. I think that’s okay too. As long you’re safe and happy, that’s what counts.
