Mine too.
I didn't make you any promises nor did I say it was easy, and all parents are definatly different. But IMHO try it first. If your parents where like mine you will be glad you did. And if they don't and they are still bull headed about it then you have to do what you are gonna do. No matter how old I get the two things that are always constent about my parents is that 1. my mother is so damn overprotective of me no matter how long I have been gone from her house, and 2. My father respects me 10 times as much when I make him sit down with me and talk to me like a man, not like a 16 yr old boy. But hell none of it may work and no matter what you do, there are gonna be things your parents will piss you off about, about in the end you almost always end up acting a little like em.
