It deteriorated as the years passed by. She doesn't know what I do behind my pc all day, she wonders, but all I say is I'm an information junkie and I hang around on a lot of forums to improve my general knowledge. She seems to be ok with it.
I rarely talk. Small talk, sure. What's shall I make for dinner tonight, did you buy cat food, what're you watching, but never an actual conversation about anything meaninful. I think it's alright though, she works all day and I have the place to myself every day except between 18:00 and 23:00. The other 19 hours, I live on my own.

I live with my parents still. When I graduated highschool they wanted me to get a job or go to college. So i went to college, didnt work out, got a job.

As I got better I started learning japanese and my parents stopped being so goddamn annoying (I think because they're pretty old now). Got a really relaxing job, work part time, no college, I pay my own bills and buy most of my own food. They still cook for me all the time though.

Parents haven't really fucked with me since. They don't know much about my hobbies.

>How is your relationship with your parents?
I'd say very good, they are some of the only people I talk too.
>Do they know about your hobbies?
yes, but my dad and ma both could give one shit less what I'm into as long as I'm not doing coke and ecstasy with my brothers.

Indeed
>Do you still live with them?
yes but I have to pay my share of the bills not too bad.
