my family is crazy.

[_andreafs_]

i seriously think my family needs counseling. i hate the fact that no one takes responsibility for anything. is it THAT hard to take 10 minutes out of your busy lives to drop off my(our) lola/YOUR mother to her dialysis appointment? or to check up on my(our) lolo/YOUR father to make sure he isnt passed out on the floor because his blood sugar level isnt too low? its pretty funny that once they are in the hospital is when you want to look all concerned and visit them when CLEARLY there are doctors and nurses to watch over them. what they really need is FAMILY to be there for them when no one else is. a simple call to say hello wouldnt hurt them either. dont bitch about how you have to do this and that for them when what you are doing SHOULD be what comes naturally. dont you dare complain about how they ask you to pay for a single thing like their medication, just THIS ONCE, when their low on cash. and PLEASE dont expect to be paid back for this..... our "family" doesnt have a treasurer who keeps all the money to pay for all this. c'mon. when its time for a party and there's food or presents involved, thats when you want to join in on all the fun. where are you at the odd hours of the night when someone is feeling dizzy and simply needs someone to talk to to feel assured that they are really okay. i know that the convenience of family living a block way is great... but does that mean that just cause you live a mile further that you shouldnt be the one to turn to? i'm sick of you all emailing mass emails about how your duty is more tedious than the others...i have 10 aunts and uncles, approximately 22 cousins-- just on my mom's side-- and where the heck is everyone anyway?!?! yeah, yeah, some of you live in another PLACE. big deal. where's the checks for groceries then?! or even, i know that your cell phones have free long distance calling. so wheres that phone ringing? by the way- is it hard to even call on a holiday? i call your butts so that my grandparents can hear your voice to understand that you all are still alive and have not forgotten about them. why is it that there is only two people worried about them getting older? thats lolo and lola themselves. PUH-LEASE dont pass the buck when your the one that volunteered yourselves in the first place. no one twisted your arm to do it. go ahead and "quit" . thats what the family is all about right?! who cares. you just care to hear yourselves talk-- oops i mean "see" through emails how hard you are. everyone has their own excuse. who gives a flying freak about it. just do what you need to without any hesitation. shoot, if each one of us quits...where would any of us be. lolo and lola should have quit and not had kids in the first place if they knew that their children and their children's children wouldnt be there to support them later on down the line. seriously, it irritates the heck out of me that once you get a call that they are in the hospital, you are soooo quick to be by their side with flowers, cards, kisses and hugs galore. dont come crying when they end up at their worst. do something now while you can. they arent and we arent getting any younger. HELLO!!!! wake up. do you know where they live? do you need me to mapquest it and physically print it out for you? do you need me to pick you up and drive you over to their house?!?!! good lord people. yah, yah, everyone is tired. everyone is... etc etc etc.......... blah blah blah. i know there are exceptions. and i know i am guilty for some of the things i mentioned- shoot a lot of things i mentioned. but i decline to email my thoughts to my FAMILY. this is purely for venting. PURELY for other stresses that i am experiencing. just tired of the rage towards eachother.

sorry for those of you who read this. i'm just venting. now you know why i'm crazy... just look at my family tree.
