Hahah! yeah heyitsdean has a sweet dad in that way.
But, yeah my parents scare off people....not to mention my whole family! It's so awkward and there's this hostility that is emanating from around them anytime someone comes over. Either they all crowd in a room or they shoot not good looks at the person and whisper something. They never say hi, if they do then they might not even make eye contact or look the direction of the person! It's really discouraging. My dad is not that talkative and is someone that everyone just laughs with at his bad jokes so as not to get him mad and so they don't give off a bad impression as it seems he would base it upon that or something, well not just becuase of that but othres as well. He connects on a superficial level. Anyway, my mom is really inviting to my friends, male ones anyway. She scares off female friends, it's really mean, one time someone was going to come over and i went to pick her up and then she called the house and wanted me to call her as soon as i got there, i did and then she's like "well, could you guys do hw over there? nobody likes it to tell you the truth when you are together at the house, it is a distraction." I thought that was utterly stupid cause we woudl be in my room anyway away from everyone else, but i can't convince rationality into a thought that had no rationale besides one of denial and moreso one of biggoting preference. Ugh, it's annoying. She's nice on face, but badmouths them when they leave...
-edit- oh yeah, my parents spy on us too, like heyitsdean, except they try and be secretive about it haha. When heyitsdean's dad does it he just comes and stands behind us. My mom or dad hide in this little out of view spot...
