Yesterday wasn't bad because I was able to make a compromise with my dad about getting access to the eShop for a bit to add more money just before eShop cards close for the 3DS/Wii U (and I bought a few games including Yoshi's New Island, as well as Spirit of Justice before Dual Destinies because of the latter's M rating). I know there is a way I can overturn Parental Controls but I am not going to at least yet because that is part of my game of chess. I don't think it's wise to explain exactly what my strategy is in public though.
If you want to apply later, just apply later. Don't bring it up all the time in a "boy I sure am not on the poll committee anymore" way. That does you no favors.
