melbert, the low point is what this thread is about. Use as needed.

Welcome to CC!

I work more than both of you combined AND I go to school on top of that. I do a crap ton around this place, but I'm on vacation. You get the luxury of sleeping as much as you want whenever you want and YOU get as much vacation time as you want. Well guess what, I don't have that luxury. So if I want to sit and play a game all day while I'm on my ONLY few days off of the year, I'm going to do it. I will do anything you ask, but I'm not going to jump to do it. I'm sorry if that makes me a bad child but some parents would kill to have a kid like me. A kid who works her tail off, doesn't do drugs, rarely drinks, gets spectacular grades, is a member of PBK, I could go on and on but you don't really care about any of that, do you? Nope. You care that I didn't jump to sweep the house when you bellowed. It'll get done. On my schedule. Don't like it? Tough. I'm going to relax on my vacation.

You don't even know the HALF of the crap I have to do because you guys don't help me. Why? Because I don't tell you about it. So when you say things like "You work too much" well no **** I work too much. Why? Because YOU DON'T HELP ME. And I don't ask. But when I'm freaking tired because you guys don't help me, do NOT tell me I work too hard or too much. You made the decision to make me financially independent so leave me to be that way.

Oh and yes, I know my laptop is missing a key. Don't tell me about how I don't take care of my ****. YOU didn't pay for it so you can't say a word about it. It works just fine, thanks.

Lafalum - haha, I think I know people that work there...

I don't get it ... do service people not need money? Seems to me someone should show when they say they will. If you tell me you'll be at my house by 7:30 a.m., I shouldn't have to call (and leave a message!) at 10:00 to see where you are. Yes, I'm on summer vacation, but that doesn't mean I don't have better things to do than sit around waiting on you!

You know, a little compliment once an awhile won't hurt anyone. I get a great GPA, it's like it doesn't matter. A in chinese, which is basically impossible for a non-native speaker, and you know what I get? "You need to practice your chinese" THE FIRST WEEK OF SUMMER. I get a job, and what's the first thing out of your mouth? Not "congratulations" but "you're going to get so overworked and hate it". I love you dearly but I hate that the only time you feel like talking is when things are negative. I'm not asking to be pampered with love and affection, I'm not even asking you to tell me to have a good day without mentioning the 40 different tasks and chores I'll have to complete. It's that once in awhile I want you to shut up and just nod your head...if I do something wrong and it's minor, than just lie and say "good job" or better yet SAY NOTHING. Life is hard, so don't make it any harder.

Love this thread

Mom2M · 07-03-2012, 12:46 PM

I love my car. I do. But a water pump, fuel pump and now a head whatever all in 10 days. I am overwhelmed. Really. I do not want to listen to your bad jokes when I am picking up my car. If I wanted (or could afford) a new one I would buy it. sigh

Youdon'tsay · 07-03-2012, 08:04 PM

I wasn't there, so I have no grounds to complain, but, really, people? I wish I'd understood how involved today's procedure was. I would have gone and gotten it done right.

Writer1992 · 07-03-2012, 09:35 PM

I love how you act around me when you're with certain people. Seriously, I love being ignored. And IF I HATE THEM, YOU SHOULD HATE THEM TOO. lol maybe that's just me. I don't care if you're friends with them but whyy don't you hate them toooooo

Dear parents
It frustrates me that you guys are controlling where I want apply because I would like to apply to UC Berkeley and UC Davis but can not because you guys will pay the application fee. Your excuse is always that I will not be able to "survive" on my own, but in reality you want me to stay home. I understand that's not bad but all my life I have been stuck at home because you don't let me go out or do anything. Plus, I have to go to the same college as my twin brother. It is unfair for both us because we are not going to be together for ever. I just want to know how it feels to be independent because everything I did was with my brother. Sooner or later we have to split up so might as well do it while we go to college. I will always be your son and never forget you but the time has come for your son to leave the nest and experience the world on his own.

^^^ Apply to the schools you want to apply to. Get a friend's parent to write the check for you (I'm assuming you don't have a checking account) and pay them back in cash.

mominva · 07-04-2012, 09:59 AM

^^Or take your cash to a local bank and get a cashier's check or pre-loaded debit card for the application fees.

Munequita · 07-04-2012, 10:01 AM

Oh baby, why are you so complicated? Why don't you see you have to move on? he does not care about you the same way you do

LasMa · 07-04-2012, 01:30 PM

Why, oh why didn't you pass along the college loan repayment calculator I gave you? I weep for your niece. She hasn't the faintest idea how much her monthly payments on 100 grand are going to be. OTOH, your sister is just flat stupid, to agree to co-sign those loans -- for a kid who's not even her own child, no less. This is going to be a tragedy for your whole family in about 5 years.

Why are you spending your last $10 on fireworks when you have to pay for a $50 parking ticket? If you "know how math works", show me!

You better not be expecting me to pay this ticket and NO! your father and I are all done talking about it. If you choose to not pay when it's due and then it doubles, that will come from your bank account too. And if you want to appeal this stupid ticket, figure that out, take a bus or a train (since you don't have a car) and get it done. Stop making this ticket a bigger issue than it is.

And stop wasting your money on fireworks! Grow up.
