My parents' insensitivity will be the end of me.

I have to ASK permission to spend my own money?
wow yeah of course because to hell with logic right.

I tell them I'd be going to Japan 2 freaking months in advance right when I'm about to book the tickets.

They tell me they'll be going to Taiwan 1 week before they fly off.

Don't even get me started on the bloody guilt-trip flung in my face.

UGH

Just-
don't.

Some one tell them to stop being ridiculous or just be reasonable and compromise.
