A VERY Unhappy Ane
So today my mom and I went to the DMV to try to get my permit.
I failed. I got 10 questions wrong, 2 less, and I would have passed.
But that's not really what I'm so upset about. My mom just blew up at me. In the middle of the DMV.
She said she'd wasted a whole morning off work just so I could fail my test. It was my fault for not reading the handbook the night before. All that crap.
A woman asked if I'd passed on the way out.
"No."
"Was it hard?"
"Well, not if you actually read the book!"
Okay, so I underestimated the difficulty of the test. But loads of people fail the first time. It was a mistake that I didn't read the handbook. I should have. Honestly, she only told me we were going to the DMV last night.
So, next Saturday, I get dropped off at the DMV to try again. I have to spend my entire Saturday morning, when I should be at KO waiting in line to take that stupid test. It was bad enough today, a weekday morning. On the weekend, I'll be there for hours.
Way to be understanding Mom.
I feel bad that she had to take off work for nothing. But she didn't have to act the way she did. Yes, I screwed up. But she didn't have to yell at me.
I hate having working parents. People are always taking their stay-at-home moms for granted. Oh, Mommy can bring you your homework when you forget it? Mommy always picks you up on time?
My parents work full time. They have no time for me or my sister. Oh, they try. But my mom's always stressed out, and my dad spends all his free time watching Star Trek or up in his office.
For the most part, I barely notice it. But right now. I'm really pissed off.
I realize I sound like some sort of spoiled brat, (And I'm PMSing so that probably has something to do with it) but I don't think my mom was treating me very fairly.
I almost feel like writing about my frustration with my new diet/exercise regime. But this entry is already too long.
