How does being rich correlate with having enough free time to be with your kids more? Unless you're talking about some sort of unearned riches I guess.

I kinda understand what he's implying but from what I see rich people usually spend more time at work and simply hire babysitters and people to clean their houses.

Rich as in not having to work rich. Not necessarily CEO or old money caviarre on gold gold plates type. Be it inherited, lotto, or a very bright idea you had early in life and cashed out. You could retire today and live frugally off the interest on 1mil.

Probably because most people like that are driven to push harder, start more companies and make more money/influence. They keep working because they enjoy it. Most poor who come into money blow it all because it changes their life so much and it doesn't last. Maybe I'm just speaking specifically as a lazy but financially literate middle classer.
I'm telling your mom that you signed up for Ultimate Metal.

Let's say I am getting bullied. In that case, helicopter parents are great. If I have done something "wrong", it is bad. I do not consider mine to be helicopter parents, just a bit over-protective. My mom says she got the list of sites I visited on my iPhone. I do not view "innappropriate sites" on my phone...

I feel like your mom probably just saw some lyrics to something you were listening to tbh. I remember being in high school and my dad catching a glimpse of a brutal death metal album track list.
It's not like I actually want to molest a decpaitated fat guy, dad, I swear.

I remember when my dad bought me a Deathspell Omega album when I was like 13. He very poignantly stated that if I ever started worshiping the devil or being otherwise influenced by the lyrics he'd ship me off to military school. He ended up liking all the same bands I like for the most part.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
My mom is overbearing because she's an immigrant and was raised on a farm. My dad is less old school but he's an immigrant too. Also she's a Jehovah witness. But I always thought she was just being cheap when she didn't want to get me a Christmas or birthday gift. I still do, actually because she accepts the gifts I give her...

My mom was a pretty big classic rock fan, so she was cool with listening to Metallica's Ride the Lightning when I was in middle school

My mom was concerned initially (when I was 12), but she wasn't one that was hard to convince otherwise. After that point, she didn't care.

Mine were generally over protective, but more to safety shit than influence based. The one thing that did tick me off and still bothers me to this day was when my dad threw out my MTG cards when I was like 13. Every card he pulled out to "reference" as a problem was black. Well no shit, it represents filth and evil. That's kinda the point. Ignore the white cards about protection/good and green representing growth/nature.
And he/we aren't even religious, which is the head-scratcher. Did nothing to stifle my interest. I'm still into mythology and occult shit just as much as ever and I'm 31 now... I haven't joined a quasi-new age satanic suicide dream cult and never will. One of my most annoying moments of childhood to this day...

My dad is fine with anything. He even likes a little technical death metal. (If you consider early Between the Buried and Me to be tech-death). He is a fan of Black Sabbath and Megadeth. My mom is fine with most bands, but she thinks that bands like Pantera, Skid Row, Burzum, and Absurd are making me a "racist and hateful person". They both say Cannibal Corpse type stuff is silly, but okay.

"There is help
If you are a student and are having suicidal thoughts, please know you are not alone. Call the suicide hotline 24/7 to talk to someone who can help:
1-800-273-TALK (8255)."
It is funny that I found this on the school's review page.
