Does anyone else have parents who invent your bad habits out of thin air and constantly hound you about them? Despite not even being real?

I was going to say, with a username like "Duchess_of_Finance," you really sound far from being a degenerate alcoholic.

It's a shame, too, because it's like speaking to cult members. No matter what is said, or evidence is provided, there's no getting through to them. For the most part, I genuinely don't care, and am content with never speaking to them again, but I feel bad for others who may not be so emotionally neutral.

I asked this question here, because I couldn't understand the phenomenon other than, as one user said, they're out of things to bitch about. Perhaps there should be a badge for it, because it probably means you're doing something right.
