::bangs head against the wall::
It amazes me that most of the fights that start in the house between my Dad and Mom are because my poor father does not have dinner on the table. Now my Dad gets home a little bit before four and my Mom gets home a little after five in the afternoon. Usually my Dad is almost done with cooking dinner by the time Mom gets home. Every now and again, my Dad is tried from work and says that dinner can wait, he wants to rest which I don't blame him. Dad works the hardest out of all of us. He fixes machines everyday. He has every right in the world to be tired.
My Mom on the other hand works at a Dentist office and books patents all day long. She also talks with insurance companies to check for coverage for a patents. Yep, she gets to sit down all day and talk on the phone. Now don't get me wrong. I know that stuff like that can be hard work but really...I think my Dad has it harder at his work. So I think he has a right every now and again to not want to make supper right away and rest for a few moments. Mom doesn't see it that way.
She likes to come in and talk about how hard her day at work was and how she doesn't get to sit down and rest. Over and over again she repeats this as she helps Dad make supper. This causes Dad to get pissed and he yells at her to just shut up. Well, this in turn starts the fight that Mom wants. So they wind up bickering the entire night. Which is currently what they are doing now.
Mom blames it on the fact that she is stressed Dad is going to lose his job. Wow, really Mom? Dad might lose his job? I think he might have mentioned this almost every day. So yeah, I know that Dad is going to lose his job. I also know who is going to have to step up and help the family. You are reading her rant right now. Yep, I have to be the one to make up for the lost wages Dad might not be bringing in. My sister, she won't help. So on top of the fact that I am starting school again and I have to make a 3.5 or higher in all my classes, I have to constantly worry if I am going to be able to find the money to help my family.
This is one of the reasons I have no moved out yet. I know that if I do and my Dad loses his job, my parents will lose the house. So I stay, ready to help out. I have offered to start help paying for things but Mom claims that we have enough money. Yet I still hear her complain that we don't have any money at all every time she turns around. So which is it Mom? Do you need my help or not?
I have yet to get an answer back. It is times like these that I want to bang my head against the wall. Mom seems to think that she is the only one with worries. Newsflash, you aren't. So quit taking everything out on me my saying that I don't do a damn thing around the house. I help more than my sister does but she never mentions that. Just that I am lazy and I don't do anything. It's driving me insane. I really need to win the lottery so I can pay off mine and my families bills just to get her to shut the hell up.
