as i feel i must remind you with everyone of these blogs about my parents, they are good parents.
yes it is true my parents are great people and parents, but at times it feels like they care about the house more than they do us. or maybe they just neglect our needs soemtimes, by accident im sure.
examples of this?
well... lets see, i remember all through elementary and middle school, i had to try to explain to everyone that i wasnt anorexic, that i didnt "do" bagged breakfasts or bought lunches haha. yeah what a lame lie. really, it was that my parents never gave me money for lunches, and never bought anything at home for breakfast. haha you know, maybe thats why i absolutely hate eating in front of people. i dont know.
then lets recall all the times i had to lie when someone asked me when the last time i had been to the dentist was. hahah man how many lies i told, "oh just a month ago" haha riiigghhht. umm yeah the first and only time ive gone to the dentist was just this year, after 17 years i guess they decided it was maybe a good time to take me. ummm you think?. i still remember the look on the dentists asst checked for cavities and such.." this is your first time?!!!! wow. you have no cavities and your teeth are very well taken care of.!" its a good thing mom and dad because if i wouldve had to get a filling i wouldve killed you.
and then lets talk about how i had to sit a foot away from the board in elementary school for almost a year because i couldnt see anything. but this is because you neglected to get me glasses when the nurse told you i needed them. hmm. thanks my vision didnt have to be this bad you know. and you were told i would prolly need glasses after the doctors told you that a centimeter-millineter closer to my eye -with the snow shovel- i wouldve been blind. so you shouldve been prepared really.
and back to the spending more time and money with the house.. do you by chance remember my "sweet 16"?
.. yeah me neither. thats because it didnt happen, not even a card. you were too busy building a whole big ass deck that cost a couple thousand just so that "rusty could have a coming home party" and afterwords we were going to have a birthday something.. anything.. but nothing.. and disappointment ensuthed. but i shouldnt have been that suprised huh. even mema- your best friend was shocked.
you buy shit for the house all the time, but when i desperately need new clothes, well its all the same. same ol same.
oh and how could i forget when you sat me down last year, and broke the news that i couldnt go on the orchestra trip. man i really wanted to see a real city like new york. and i cried, even in front of you, i cried, and i cry alone, but i couldnt hold in the disappointment. and you promised with tears in your eyes (prolly cus you dont see me cry often) that you were going to put a fund aside for my senior year trip, and you promised i would be able to make my last trip. haha more bullshit, wered that money go to?? flowers for the deck?? a new lamp shade??
you know what? i dont care, but im taking a stand against money, i hate it. and i dont care if i get anymore birthday presents or clothes or what not- im graduating, moving out, moving away, getting a job, and buying my own clothes, see? problem solved.
