A) he's late.

c)he's gotten into a horrible car crash that's left dead.
The most likely answer is A. (We went to prom together, and the limo had to wait in his driveway for half an hour. At the end of the night, we got charged for an extra hour. He- read: his parents- paid for it, but still.) — Lauren Barnholdt

I want parents out there to know that it's totally natural for kids to make believe and play games. It does not mean your child is going to be transgendered. And even if it were true, why is it such a horrible thing? — Alexis Arquette
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Mohiro Kitoh Horrible Parents Quotes By Mohiro Kitoh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-mohiro-kitoh-168845.jpg)
I don't really know a whole lot about complicated, worldly things. But I think parents and siblings, they need to be able to care for each other unconditionally. How many people could you risk your life to protect? Not that many, I bet. Everyone's top priority is taking care of themselves. But if there's anyone who can overcome that, it's flesh and blood. If you understand that feeling, then you can look at other people, and realize, this person's family cares about them, too. That's a really heavy feeling. When you think about that, it becomes a lot harder to do horrible things to them. So I think that love for your family ... is really at the root of what it means to care for other people. — Mohiro Kitoh

In some ways, forcing me to leave was the best thing that could have happened to me. In other ways, it was a disaster. I'm still glad they did it though, because I think I might have just died if I had stayed at the coast. Although I ended up there a couple years later, when my mother relapsed on a whim, I think I needed that two years away from that horrible little coastal town where time is frozen and ideas creep forward too slow to notice any progress. — Ashly Lorenzana
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Daniel Tosh Horrible Parents Quotes By Daniel Tosh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-daniel-tosh-1258047.jpg)
You know why they say that, that models are too skinny? Because parents are horrible, they can't tell their sixteen year old daughter she's not really a princess, well guess what, I can. — Daniel Tosh
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Matt Shea Horrible Parents Quotes By Matt Shea](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-matt-shea-718343.jpg)
No one that has ever been in combat ever wants to see war anywhere in the world. It is horrible. It's horrible looking at the pock-marked walls. It's horrible looking at the flesh embedded on walls in Bosnia. It was horrible looking and interviewing and talking to the kids who lost their parents, because Saddam Hussein decided to feed their parents to the lions in downtown Baghdad. To characterize particularly myself, but other groups, as wanting to advocate a war I think is not only disingenuous, I think it's a patent falsehood intentionally created to stigmatize a group of people. — Matt Shea
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Tracy Letts Horrible Parents Quotes By Tracy Letts](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-tracy-letts-897864.jpg)
You know, people see [August: Osage County], and I tell them that it's based on my family, and they assume that I came from some kind of horrible, hysterical circumstances. That's not true. My family, my nuclear family, was actually very close. My mom and dad were great parents and they encouraged a real rich, creative life for me and my brothers. My extended family, like every family, has some darkness, and some violence of some kind, emotional or otherwise, in their past. — Tracy Letts
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Laurie Notaro Horrible Parents Quotes By Laurie Notaro](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-laurie-notaro-2149084.jpg)
It was the gift that every girl dreams of, to be dead long enough for your parents to realize how meaningless their lives were without you, how they were suddenly and at once deeply sorrowed at all of the horrible injustices they caused you, how they had truly never appreciated your natural gifts of beauty and grace, being that their beautiful angel would have such a short time on earth and should have spent that time driving the restored 1965 convertible Mustang she had openly AND PUBLICLY desired. But nope, she spent her last, short, fleeting moments driving a 1980 Chevy Citation, every so clearly a GRANDMA car, with fake red-velvet upholstery, a hatchback, and an interior that smelled like spoiled milk and sometimes meat. Being temporarily run over by a car was the best present I had ever received, and I didn't even have to do anything dramatic to get it, like write a note or buy some rope. — Laurie Notaro
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Jiddu Krishnamurti Horrible Parents Quotes By Jiddu Krishnamurti](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-jiddu-krishnamurti-2182131.jpg)
You see, we are so afraid to fail, to make mistakes, not only in examinations but in life. To make a mistake is considered terrible because we will be criticized for it, somebody will scold us. But, after all, why should you not make a mistake? Are not all the people in the world making mistakes? And would the world cease to be in this horrible mess if you were never to make a mistake? If you are afraid of making mistakes you will never learn. The older people are making mistakes all the time, but they don't want you to make mistakes, and thereby they smother your initiative. Why? Because they are afraid that by observing and questioning everything, by experimenting and making mistakes you may find out something for yourself and break away from the authority of your parents, of society, of tradition. That is why the ideal of success is held up for you to follow; and success, you will notice, is always in terms of respectability. — Jiddu Krishnamurti
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Katie Holmes Horrible Parents Quotes By Katie Holmes](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-katie-holmes-1890749.jpg)
I got caught kissing. Like by my parents. It was so horrible. It's so embarrassing, I'm blushing. — Katie Holmes
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Roseanne Barr Horrible Parents Quotes By Roseanne Barr](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-roseanne-barr-1690476.jpg)
I want to say that nobody accuses their parents of abusing them without justification to do that. I didn't just make it up. A lot of things were true and abusive and horrible things that happened to me that my father did. — Roseanne Barr
![Horrible Parents Quotes By William S. Burroughs Horrible Parents Quotes By William S. Burroughs](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-william-s-burroughs-1687885.jpg)
For the last four years of her life, Mother was in a nursing home called Chateins in St. Louis ... [S]ix months before she died I sent a Mother's Day card. There was a horrible, mushy poem in it. I remember feeling vaguely guilty. — William S. Burroughs
![Horrible Parents Quotes By James Hillman Horrible Parents Quotes By James Hillman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-james-hillman-1611937.jpg)
How can Hitler, or some other murderer, appear in this world? I don't think any single theory can account for the phenomenon, and I think it's a mistake to try to reduce it to being brutalized by your parents or having grown up in some horrible situation - like Charles Manson. — James Hillman
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Roger Federer Horrible Parents Quotes By Roger Federer](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-roger-federer-1607471.jpg)
When I was 12 years old, I was just horrible. My parents were ashamed to watch my matches. I would play on a court at the local club and they would watch from the balcony. They would scream, 'Be quiet' to me and I would scream back, 'Go and have a drink. Leave me alone.' Then we would drive home in a very quiet car. No one speaking to each other. — Roger Federer
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Shannon Duffy Horrible Parents Quotes By Shannon Duffy](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-shannon-duffy-2206015.jpg)
Without the Dreamscape, we can't sleep.
My parents remind me all the time about stories their parents told them, of how things were in the Manic Age. The time before our bodies were upgraded to sync with the amazing invention called the Dreamscape. Thirty-eight years ago, people actually had to fall asleep on their own and, sometimes, they would toss and turn for hours. My grandparents said when sleep, in its mercy, did come, it often brought with it horrible images I've heard people used to call nightmares. — Shannon Duffy
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Anne Lamott Horrible Parents Quotes By Anne Lamott](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-anne-lamott-1444437.jpg)
Talking to the parents of older kids was helpful for me, since the parents of kids the same age as yours won't admit how horrible their children are ... you can either practice being right or practice being kind. Screaming in the car helped. [p. 94] — Anne Lamott
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Steve Silberman Horrible Parents Quotes By Steve Silberman](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-steve-silberman-1389580.jpg)
Aware adults with autism and their parents are often angry about autism. They may ask why nature or God created such horrible conditions as autism, manic depression, and schizophrenia. However, if the genes that caused these conditions were eliminated there might be a terrible price to pay. It is possible that persons with bits of these traits are more creative, or possibly even geniuses. If science eliminated these genes, maybe the whole world would be taken over by accountants. — Steve Silberman

I meet people from really grand backgrounds who had horrible parents who took no interest in them, whereas I'm a working-class boy from Deptford who was worshipped by all my rellies. Everybody in my extended family helped to raise me, and I realise now how lucky I was to grow up among kind folk. — Jools Holland
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Vanessa Diffenbaugh Horrible Parents Quotes By Vanessa Diffenbaugh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-vanessa-diffenbaugh-2235941.jpg)
I'm missing work. We didn't have enough money for preschool. I had a panic attack. I couldn't do it. I became one of those horrible foster parents who give the kids back. — Vanessa Diffenbaugh
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Ana Ortiz Horrible Parents Quotes By Ana Ortiz](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-ana-ortiz-882187.jpg)
I don't relate to that angst-y kid who hates their parents because they were horrible. It's just not my life and it's not the life of a lot of my friends. — Ana Ortiz
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Carmen Busquets Horrible Parents Quotes By Carmen Busquets](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-carmen-busquets-867861.jpg)
My parents sent me from Venezuela to the Convent of Our Lady, a boarding school in Hastings, which was horrible - like Harry Potter without the magic. Sometimes we went into town, and if we were caught chewing gum in our uniform, members of the public would take down our names and report us to the school. — Carmen Busquets
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Sarah MacLean Horrible Parents Quotes By Sarah MacLean](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-sarah-maclean-765543.jpg)
What is your name?" he asked softly.
She winced, knowing what was to come, "Calpurnia." She closed her eyes again, embarrassed by the extravagant name- a name with which no one but a hopelessly romantic mother with an unhealthy obsession with Shakespeare would have considered saddling a child.
"Calpurnia." He tested the name on his tongue. "As in, Caesar's wife?"
The blush flared higher as she nodded.
He smiled. "I must make it a point to better acquaint myself with your parents. That is a bold name, to be sure."
"It's a horrible name."
"Nonsense. Calpurnia was Empress of Rome- strong and beautiful and smarter than the men who surrounded her. She saw the future, stood strong in the face of her husband's assassination. She is a marvelous namesake. — Sarah MacLean

Writer Somerset Maugham, after his parents deaths, spent a few stultifying years in his uncle's vicarage. Later, in his teens at a boarding-school, having lost his belief in the existence of God said: "The whole horrible structure, based not on the love of God, but on the fear of hell, tumbled down like a house of cards." — Selina Hastings, Countess Of Huntingdon
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Steph Bowe Horrible Parents Quotes By Steph Bowe](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-steph-bowe-696580.jpg)
When I was young - really young - I used to think that the kids who had money, who were popular at school and who did well at things must have had horrible home lives - abusive parents or nasty siblings or lived in cupboard under stairs.
It's kind of sick when you think about it, but what I figured was that life should be fair - everyone had to have good and bad things in their lives, and no one could have a wholly good life or a wholly bad life because that would upset the balance of things.
I know now that I was wrong. — Steph Bowe
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Simone De Beauvoir Horrible Parents Quotes By Simone De Beauvoir](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-simone-de-beauvoir-646168.jpg)
Forced motherhood results in bringing miserable children into the world, children whose parents cannot feed them, who become victims of public assistance or "martyr children." It must be pointed out that the same society so determined to defend the rights of the fetus shows no interest in children after they are born; instead of trying to reform this scandalous institution called public assistance, society prosecutes abortionists; those responsible for delivering orphans to torturers are left free; society closes its eyes to the horrible tyranny practiced in "reform schools" or in the private homes of child abusers; and while it refuses to accept that the fetus belongs to the mother carrying it, it nevertheless agrees that the child is his parents' thing. — Simone De Beauvoir
![Horrible Parents Quotes By John Walsh Horrible Parents Quotes By John Walsh](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-john-walsh-605003.jpg)
People don't understand the devastation the murder of a child does to someone. Eighty percent of parents of murdered children wind up in divorce. The only thing you have in common is that horrible sadness. You can't see the joy of your previous life. — John Walsh
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Mira Grant Horrible Parents Quotes By Mira Grant](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-mira-grant-600201.jpg)
They found what was waiting on the other side: a pleasant room with a horrible monster in it. Apparently, when they were younger, they had the same monster in their closet, and when their parents chased it away, the monster pined until it could finally call to them to come through the broken doors to the Land of the Monsters, where they could be a family forever. The book ended with the implication that now the children would become monsters, too, and would eventually leave the Land of Monsters to find closets, and children, of their own. — Mira Grant

Sophie, you saw Alice's transformation."
I nodded. "And the murder of my great-grandfather. Weird it showed me that when I've had so many other awful things happen directly to me," I said, beginning to tick them off on my fingers. "Elodie getting killed, having to kill Alice, escaping a burning building with the help of a ghost ... " And then, because both my parents looked so deflated, I added, "Oh, and this really heinous pageboy haircut in sixth grade."
A few wan smiles appeared, but I think it was just to humor me.
"Yes, but that was the act that was directly responsible for all of those other horrible events," Dad said. "Well, except for the haircut. I suspect that can be laid at your mother's door."
"James!" Mom protested, but I swear I heard affection behind it. I think Dad did, too, because his lips quirked upward briefly. — Rachel Hawkins

I wanted to be an actor, an astrologer, an astronaut; a lot of different things were going through my mind. But I also wanted to play guitar. I mentioned to my parents that I wanted an electric guitar for Christmas. They got me one! I sat there all Christmas morning making a lot of loud horrible noise. — Joan Jett
![Horrible Parents Quotes By John Green Horrible Parents Quotes By John Green](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-john-green-431596.jpg)
I tried to go to sleep with my headphones still on, but then after a while my mom and dad came in, and my mom grabbed Bluie from the shelf and hugged him to her stomach, and my dad sat down in my desk chair, and without crying he said, 'You are not a grenade, not to us. Thinking about you dying makes us sad, Hazel, but you are not a grenade. You are amazing. You can't know, sweetie, because you've never had a baby become a brilliant young reader with a side interest in horrible television shows, but the joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness.'
'Okay,' I said.
'Really,' my dad said. 'I wouldn't bullshit you about this. If you were more trouble than you're worth, we'd just toss you out on the streets.'
'We're not sentimental people,' Mom added, deadpan. 'We'd leave you at an orphanage with a note pinned to your pajamas. — John Green

The Baudelaires looked at one another with bitter smiles. Sunny was right. It wasn't fair that their parents had been taken away from them. It wasn't fair that the evil and revolting Count Olaf was pursuing them wherever they went, caring for nothing but their fortune. It wasn't fair that they moved from relative to relative, with terrible things happening at each of their new homes, as if the Baudelaires were riding on some horrible bus that stopped only at stations of unfaireness and misery. — Lemony Snicket

As one boy said, 'I was thinking all these horrible thoughts about my parents when suddenly it hit me-if they're all that bad, how come I'm so wonderful' — Mark Twain
![Horrible Parents Quotes By Graham Elliot Horrible Parents Quotes By Graham Elliot](https://quotessayings.net/pics/horrible-parents-quote-by-graham-elliot-208021.jpg)
Kids see cooking as a creative outlet now, like soccer and ballet. It gives me hope that things like fast food, childhood obesity and the horrible state of school lunches can be addressed by kids and their parents. — Graham Elliot
