I was pretty much going to bring out that point... it's the WAY things are said. Keep in mind that parents still look at their children as children. Can't be helped. My dad still calls me his little boy, even though I'm 37. They still want what's best and it doesn't always come out the right way. Generally, it may be out of frustration that it comes out wrong...

'kids' also do that too. It's not always the things they say that get them in trouble, but the way it's said.

Yeah, you're right... WE expect too much from our parents and when they don't live up to expectaions, it's a frustrating let-down
