Just remembered another one.
I don't think many other people will feel the same way here but I really dislike receiving letters from "my mom" and "my dad". There's a combination of reasons why:
-I'm playing as myself in the village so when the game gives my avatar parents, it separates me from my character; it tells me that he's another person with his own life that I'm not privvy too
-It just feels too personal. For reasons I'm less clear on, it just rubs me the wrong way and actually irritates me every time it does it (plus I can't throw them away without opening them
-It seems like a foolish idea considering some players mums and dads might not be alive, or worse still might have died during the player's time playing New Leaf - this is going somewhere potentially upsetting with no real upside or benefit to justify that risk so why go there? Death is just one example, you'll have many children with abusive parents or many other possibilities that just make it an unnecessary minefield.
So yeah basically I either feel "don't pretend to be my mum" or I mentally reject the idea that my avatar isn't me and that he has parents, me being just a third party observer reading their personal letters. I'm interested to know if anybody else feels remotely similar.
