Input: Okay so I started watching The Office on Netflix over the summer. I then rewatched the whole show about 2 more times. Sometimes my mom comes up to me and asks, “What are you watching?” So i tell her and stuff. Then she says, “Why don’t we all watch it together as a family?” I was a bit reluctant (because there are some non-parent friendly times in the show) so she backed off a little. But I eventually caved, and we agreed that we would start watching it next weekend. 

Next weekend came and went, and we totally forgot. Now I was kinda getting antsy because I wanted to start watching the show again, but we kept forgetting. So I started watching Parks and Rec to bide my time. And sometimes when I was watching it they would annoyingly say, “You’re not watching The Office are you,” because I guess they thought I was watching it behind their backs. Eventually we started watching it, and oh boy. 

They only wanted to watch about 2 episodes **a night**. Which got annoying fast because if we wanted to complete the series before 2020 then we should probably shoot for as many as possible. Occasionally we would get into arguments because they would not want to watch it. But then I was angry because I wanted to watch it, and also confused because they kept bugging me to watch it before we started. I know that some days people just don’t feel like watching a tv show, but it seems like if I didn’t insist on watching it at least once then they wouldn’t watch it. 

My dad also got into the habit of using the excuse of, “I’ve already seen this before so it’s boring.” (Keep in mind I’ve already watched the full series 3 other times and it’s still great imo) So I ask him how far he watched. And **every** single time I ask he always says the same thing, “I don’t know it’s been so long.” But to add to that he sometimes gets on my me and my moms nerves whenever we are watching another TV show by calling out what’s going to happen. Stuff like, “I knew that was going to happen” or “He’s gonna die” and it annoys the crap out of me. **But** when he tries to call out what happens during The Office, he is wrong 8/10 times. So I guess if he’s seen the show before and remembered what happened, then he’d probably be right more than he is. 

Also, sometimes my mom is like, “Only one episode tonight because I’m watching **my** show.” Which I get that she needs time for her shows, but when it’s 7:30 and you’ve got like 30 mins left of your show, then we’ve got plenty of time (they usually go to bed at around 9:30-10:00). 

I also don’t get how they are getting so mad at me for wanting to watch a show with them that I like. I always ask if they don’t like the show, but they always say that they do like the show. Sometimes when I ask them they always try to stall by us only watching it after I’ve showered. And I usually hop in the shower at about 7:00 or 7:30. But I ask if they want to watch it at like 6:00. And they always ask, “Have you showered yet,” like I have like over an hour of free time until I shower why can’t we watch it now? Sometimes I use the analogy “8+3=11 and 3+8=11.” (Which kinda says that the order which I shower and watch The Office doesn’t matter because it will take up the same amount of time) kinda slimy, but I don’t use it anymore. 

Tldr: Parents kept bugging me into watching The Office with them. Now that we’ve started watching it they barely want to watch it anymore, but still insist they like the show. And they also get mad when I ask to watch the show more than once or twice a night.
