IF you have middle class parents who think they’re a bit bohemian, rebelling can be hard. Here’s how to disappoint and worry your bourgeois mum and dad.
Eat cheap white bread in front of them
If you were raised on artisanal sourdough, they’re going to freak out like normal parents would about cocaine and beg you not to put ‘that muck’ into your body when you pop two slices of Sunblest in the toaster.
Refuse to take drugs
Middle class parents love to say things like ‘If you’re going to take drugs, I’d rather you did it at home’ so they can pretend to themselves they’re still cool. Bitterly disappoint them by being incredibly prim about drugs and refusing to even drink a glass of wine with them at dinner.
Become an accountant
You’ve probably been encouraged to be something ‘creative’ like an actor or musician because your parents think it reflects well on their free-spirited parenting style. Become an accountant, which will not only annoy them but make you quite rich.
Burn some tyres in the front garden
A certain type of middle class parent will desperately want their child to join Extinction Rebellion, which doesn’t really make it much of a rebellion. Instead, rebel against their wishes by setting some tyres on fire in the front garden and making a banner that says ‘F**k the environment’.
Join the Conservative Party
Many middle class parents are leftie snowflakes who believe the world would be a better place if only we hugged each other a bit more. Crush their libtard dreams into dirt by joining the Young Conservatives and putting a picture of Priti Patel on your bedroom wall.
