I think when I was 22 in my senior year of college my parents were helping me pay for food and tuition still, so I agreed to them having some say in my living arrangements on campus, and I took their advice to move out of my frat house immediately after my last class finished.  Since then, I can't say that I've sat down with them and come up with a "game plan". 

One of my favorite Bushie-isms, for sure.

13. About which high school to attend. It didn't go well, and I completely ignored their desires. Best decision of my life, hence why I don't speak to my family about my personal decisions anymore. (Not to sound arrogant; every now and then I seek advice but not in a gameplanning setting with people I know well).

Today was an absolutely classic day of Update for the ages. This whole week really.

The Bushie-ism I prefer is "prayer plan":

I don't really game-plan with my parents unless I'm forced to. Whenever I do they wind up taking control of the entire thing instead of helping.

I don't recall ever having a stereotypical "serious kitchen table discussion" with my parents.

My mom honestly never seemed to care all that much and always assumed I'd "figure it out." My dad's interventions were limited to if he didn't like my grades in middle/high school, in which case he'd give me the stereotypical immigrant parent guilt trip about how, "You must work very hard and not be lazy and entitled like the American parents allow their children to be."
