my friend is going away over summer and I said i'd look after her two rats for her, which I really wanted to do....but my idiot parents said I could only have them if they stayed in the shed

how pathetic! I don't want to keep them in the shed and I know my friend wouldn't be happy about them living in the shed, even if it's during summer

and my mum doesn't want them in the house because they "smell"

its for two weeks! get over yourself and stop being so damn houseproud!
what a pair of ar*eholes, I was really looking forward to looking after the rats, but im not prepared to do it if they have to go in the shed, and I know that's why my mum and dad said it
Are anyone else's parents this pathetic?
