Err...

I'm not very happy with my parents right now. I can never count on them. I know that they mean well, but what does that even matter if they never pull through?

Dad's been on three business trips in two weeks. He is on a business trip right now. Mom has been on two business trips that I remember this week, although, somehow I feel like there was a short third trip. When Dad goes on a trip, Mom is supposed to drive me to zero period. She really doesn't have to do that much. All I expect from her is to stay home long enough to drive me to school, rather than speeding out the door at 5:00. Last Monday she forgot and drove off before I even woke up. Last Thursday she simply couldn't let her patients down and forgot to mention that inconvenient fact to me until 10:00 on the night before. So, I was late to choir twice last week. I try so hard to be there on time every day! Now, she tells me that she has patients scheduled for 7:00 appointments tomorrow morning. She didn't bother to tell me this until, oh, two hours ago. Oh, but don't worry guys! She has a solution!

"It's okay honey, I can drive you to school as long as you're willing to leave at 6:15!" Oh, thanks, Mom! That isn't annoying and complicated at all!

Did I mention that neither of them plan on attending my recital on May 22? I really wanted them there. All of this would probably be forgivable if they were at least going to go to my recital! I was so excited about it, and then they told me that they weren't going to be a part of it. It's gonna be the best one yet, but oh well.

They go to work to support the kids. They neglect the kids to go to work. Does that... make sense?
