I really like the poem. Throughout the course, I was feeling some sort of conflict between the "I" and the "He." It especially become conspicuous with the "I need my tea" line.
The I seems to be an observer. Someone who conforms to the rules of his mother and father, someone with no identity.
The He seems to represent a growing individualism. Someone that lives according to the doctrines of his own self, and not the doctrines prescribed by the mother and father (thus why they got offended).
In a broader analysis, it could represent iconoclasm: the desire to not conform to all of society's principles and live by your own.
I relate. Really good job.
