ringsandcoffee1. Are you better off financially than your parents were at your age?
I don't think so. I think they both had better-paying jobs, and actually made an effort at investing and planning for retirement. Then again, when my dad was my current age, I was a year old. When my mom was my current age, I was...7? They had my 2 older siblings too.
2. Do you feel you are happier than your parents were at your age or not?
My parents were parents. Both worked full time. I am not a parent. I work full time. I don't think they were UNhappy, so maybe it all evens out.
3. Do you suffer from mosquito bites or do they leave you alone?
Oh yeah, mosquitos love me. We don't have many here, luckily.
4. When you need advice, who do you go to for support?
Kinda depends on the situation. A lot of times I'll ask my mom. Sometimes my sister, sometimes friends. Too often I suck it up and try to figure it out myself. Sometimes I post here for advice.
5. Have you found yourself becoming more like your parents as you age?
I keep thinking I LOOK more like my parents, but I don't know if I act like them.

3) I hate mosquitoes, but those little buggers love me DX
4) It definitely depends; I would usually go to my twin sister Maddie, my friends, and I even post here for advice too.
5) I know that I definitely look like my parents; I have my dad's face and hands, but I also inherited my mom's stubbornness.
