Overcoming Parental Concerns: A Guide for the Modern Adult

As a grown adult, you're probably still living in your parent's basement. Don't worry, we prophets it's normal. But, let's face it, your parents are worried sick about you.

They're worried that you're still playing video games for 12 hours straight, eating Cheetos for breakfast, and wearing those ridiculous pajamas. They're worried that you're not contributing to society, that you're wasting your potential, and that you're never going to leave the house (except for that one time you went to the bathroom)

But fear not! We've got the solutions right here:
