Every time I think that parents have made some leeway and might be turning into semi-decent people, they remind me that I might just be giving them too much credit. Then again, they're West Indian and almost 60. Yes, everyone has a capacity for change but at the same time, older people past a certain generation are just not likely to want to change, even if Jesus himself came down and talked to them. Part of me wants to throw up my hands and say "Fuck it" but the other part is such a defiant little thing. Yes, children will always be children but after a certain age, isn't there some level of respect that should be extend? At least when one is past the age of 20 at least? I'm more than happy to give respect and listen to things that are reasonable but shouldn't be just because of my genitals, thanks. I guess I'm expecting too much. Maybe it's just that I'm nearly 25 and don't feel so scared or don't care how "nasty" one can get to me or for how long and no longer have a fuck to give out. =\
Thank goodness I'm not spending money on Father's Day. I'd rather get my butt waxed.
