  • My parents are actually pretty smart.

    I think I believed they were morons when I was a teenager, but later realized how smart they actually were. An engineer who started his own company and a nurse. Financially they did everything as close to perfection as you can get. I mean, they may not understand the little things like today's music (who cares) and the functions of their iphones (no big deal) but in the grand scheme of things... they're smarter than me.

    Captain gets it. Kids think they understand how the world works. As they get older they realize 'eh... maybe they weren't so dumb'

    My Parents have never been morons. I even realized that as a kid and a teen. They were always there to teach,guide and support me. My sisters and I were very fortunate to have them. My Dad is 84 and my Mother died 7 years ago from cancer.

  • Figured it out about my dad a couple of years ago, so 27 y/o.

    My Mum? She's NEVER been a moron... not even close.

    Thirteen. Realizing that your parents are morons is like a rite of passage for teenagerism. You're not a true teenager until you come to this epiphany.

    Yeah...maybe twelve or thirteen is about right. But, the better question is, how old was I when I figured out they aren't nearly as clueless as I thought? About 27. Life is hard, but it's difficult to admit that you haven't gotten everything figured out while you still think your s h i t doesn't stink. Just remember, older folks didn't get to be older folks by being stupid.
