<p>I don’t know about you, but I have a really strict parent (step) who is kind of a hypocrite. </p>
<p>So today I went to a birthday party and OBVIOUSLY you buy gifts for the birthday girl. So I did. And I spent the money towards the gift (HINT HINT, NOT MY PARENTS). So tonight, when I returned, I was like, hey I want a party as well! Because I’m tired of always giving all of my friends gifts and never inviting for a party. Not to mention, a lot of my friends think I hate them cuz I never invite them to my “apparently REAL” parties (which isn’t even real! But they think I hate them for not inviting them. Get the jist?).</p>
<p>So yeah, after I asked, my stepdad was like, Nope. I don’t want kids floating around MY house, (as if my mom had no say to this matter). My mom was actually pretty cool with the idea and actually agreed. But once my stepdad says the word NO, then I guess no one can retort cuz he’s apparently “the all-encompassing ruler who decides everything”. Seriously, my mom didn’t even stand up for me, which kinda made me a bit annoyed</p>
<p>So my house is pretty bland. No games. Nothing. And my stepdad instead said, “Maybe you can invite ONE friend over and you guys can hang out and be bored together”. So seriously, I said NO, because why should I invite a friend (who has enetertainment at her home) to my house (Hell. Completely gone with games) and make her suffer the boredom with me? And so he’s saying that he’ll never let me go to anyone’s house if I don’t invite them to my house.</p>
<p>The best part is, he’s the guy who’s always saying, [NAME] you need to make more friends. Invite some over. Yadda Yadda. Well how can I invite anyone over if YOU WON’T LET ANYONE COME. </p>
<p>The most hypocritical part is that he complains that I can’t invite my friends because “he doesn’t know them”. Well his “friends”, guess what, my mom and I both dislike them and don’t know them at all. So to say that I can invite people he doesn’t know is wrong and is completely hypocritical. And I told him that. So all he said was “Gosh, why do you think everythings about YOU. You are just a teenager who is spoiled” (Haha. Spoiled? Me? Really? No car. no allowance. no freedom. no lunch money. yes chores. yes "stopping-at-whatever-i’m-doing-to-help-him Yeah, SOOOOO spoiled). </p>
<p>Sorry for this stupid rant. I hope I don’t sound like a butthead. I just feel like some people on this site will experience the same feelings. Maybe even give some advice to deal with it?</p>
