Fun with my Family
Only my mom could turn the death of someone into something all about her. It really is a marvel to watch. Tata died Tuesday night at about 6:30. It wasn't a surprise, we knew it was coming. It is sad but not a surprise to anyone but my step father Bob, who knew but I don't think accepted it at all and maybe my brother Brett who is now regretting studying for LSATs instead of spending time with his Grandfather. I think eventually he'll realize he did nothing wrong, especially since he was told it was most important that he gets into law school by Tata. That said, the pair of them have taken it very hard. I suppose my mom has as well, though it is hard to tell. She has called me 4 times in the past couple of days to complain about the lack of help she is getting around the house.
Today she told me that she told Bob he is being insensitive because he isn't worrying about how her at all and all he is doing is sitting around and crying. Yeah, what an ass. On top of it, she told him he was being lazy because she was the only one cleaning the house and people were going to be stopping by to give their regrets and what would they think? Well, I think if she tells them that story like she told me, dripping with glee and pride can clearly expecting me to applaud her, they'll think she is a bitch. I told her she is being selfish. She told me she's sick of no one giving her the attention she deserves. I told her less than 72 hours after a man's father dies probably isn't the time to tell him he needs to be more supportive of your emotions. Given that my mother doesn't like my step father or particularly my grandfather for that matter I thought it was a bit much.
Anyway, this is my way of making it all about me. On my livejournal. I am bitching about my family again because sometimes I just can't help it. I don't understand how most of these people function and assume it is acceptable or normal. I am of course going for my little brothers who need someone and because I would like to say goodbye to one of my grandparents. I just wish I could do that without having to deal with most of my family.
