What is my mother's problem?
Seriously. First she calls to ask me to watch the house so she and my brother can go on vacation in June. Cool, sure, I have no problem with that, I'm out of class by then. Then she calls back some months later and says she wants me to watch the house during dead week and that Creg can just give me rides and she'll pay for gas. I do have a problem with that. I have class, I don't know my schedule for that week, she's expecting him to drop everything he might be doing at the time for this, and she wants an answer right now. I tell her I have to put my education first and I don't know what's going on that far in advance and I'll have an answer, at the earliest, March. She yells at me that I've never put my education first and tells me she'll find someone else and hangs up the phone.
First off, you can't ask me to do something during dead week of the next semester when I don't even know what classes I'm actually in, nor do I know my courseload. Second, my education is my life - it's always been my top priority. Yeah, I might procrastinate and bitch, but that doesn't mean I don't care. Third, I'm not at her goddamn beck and call. I'll help where I can, but I have important things to do in my own life.
I know I owe her this because she paid for Mysterium last year, but I'm also not going to fuck up dead week for it either.
And I just called her back a few minutes ago to tell her I could watch the house (basically praying my schedule is fine for that week) and she hung up on me, again telling me she'll find someone else and not to bother. What? I just told her exactly what she wanted to hear and... gah. What does she want, an apology? Not gonna happen. I didn't do anything I need to apologize for.
I'm about to say fuck the dental bills, I'll pay them myself somehow, and just cut her out of my life. I don't need this shit, not right now.
