Even though I moved 300 miles away at 17, the phone still projected them into my apartment whenever they felt like it. If I didnt pick up, it would ring every hour, on the hour. If I was out all day, they would start calling my friends.
Ive never been in trouble, an A student, had my own business, my own car/apartment and was paying my way through college. They were still driving me nuts.
Maybe they kept calling because you were 17 and they were your parents and legally responsible. And they just might have loved you and were worried about you. Unless someone goes in the military it is not the norm for a 17 year old to move 300 miles away!
Oh, you poor thing. Nagging a 17 year old should be banned because 17 year olds know it all. How dare your parents call you! How dare they worry about you! How dare they project themselves into your life after 17 years of raising you!!! I'm sure you were honest as the day is long with them and never lied about your whereabouts so there's no blame on you.
No, how dare you treat your family like that. And how dare that little witch disappear from her family like that. Nice repayment for changing diapers and feeding you and sacrificing for you for all those years.
