Yeah, trust me, once YOU leave home, they'll be thrilled at every little thing YOU do. I got very little attention when I lived with my parents, but as soon as I moved out it kinda hit them that I just wouldn't be there anymore, so they always love it whenever I can manage the trip home.
As for bullys, well, for the most part, that crap stops after high school. i stopped getting mercilessly bullied around 7th form.
Oh, and parents seem to have some supernatural ability to get their kid's names mixed up. My dad always refers to me and my two brothers by each other's names first, before correcting himself (this despite the fact that we don't look anything like each other, especially me). We've just stopped making fun of it.
