Argh Hallelujah, DLand is back! Because I have a little something bitch about. Mind if I do so real quick? I'm very sorry, because this one's going to sound childish, but here you go. Please skip it if you wish to remain awake.So my parents have decided that I am an ungrateful spoiled brat, and that the only way to punish me is to take away my TV. To that I say, what the fuck? Do I come off so shallow that they think not having a TV is going to crush me? And I am not ungrateful. But here's the story, as short as I can make it: I was asking my mom if I could get a job this summer. She said no, I "need rest," and she doesn't want to have to wake me up and take me. She, instead, wants me to clean and paint at the house for money. Now, I know good and well that that arrangement would only result in us bickering and me not getting paid until November or so. So I argue that point, and say that I really want to just get a job. I won't say that I wasn't pressing my point a bit too much, and I probably should have dropped it. Yet, I remind you, she is the adult. She could have said she would think about it and we could have moved on. She, however, started being incredibly bitchy about it and making really mean comments. My sister then made a rude remark, and I attempted to kick her, but missed totally. She started CRYING; that obviously fake tearless crying that toddlers do when they don't get their way. I didn't touch her. My mom freaked out, flipped on her infamous PsychoBitch mode, took my TV, started screaming about how ungrateful I am for the hot water that they work so hard to pay for or something...I don't even know anymore. (I say thank you more than most people I know, mind you.)She ended the evening by throwing my homework in my face and slamming the door. This makes me mad, because yes, the fact that it turned into an arguement was partially my fault. But do my parents really think I'm that ungrateful and awful, that I don't appreciate what all they give me. I just don't think it's healthy for a 50 year old woman to still be throwing temper tantrums. I really hope you skipped that. I just had to vent a little. 2003-03-18 @ 4:09 p.m. |
