My mom just told me straight up that I have no life. Reddit, what's some demotivational words of wisdom(?) your parents have said?

I play a ton of PC games, Xbox, PS3, you name it. I'm not big into the whole social thing but I am by no means a hermit. I'm a little quiet and I actually took offense to my mother calling me a no-lifer. I have a life, it just involves video games.

My dad once told me I'll never make anything out of myself. Now I own a trailer. Suck it, naysayer!

Quit school at 16, get a work permit, get a job at man's pay and move out.

I didn't blame them for giving it a shot. There were 8 people in a two bedroom house. I wound up digging a part of a basement under the house to have a place to sleep.

I'm 17 and have a little sister that cannot be home alone along with 2 working parents so I am legally able to work(and I would love to) but I simply cannot due to constraints.

I was staying the night at a friend's house when I was younger and she had gotten into a fight with her mom who ended the argument by saying "You're ugly, and sometimes I hate you." Not really wisdom, but I've never forgotten it.
