Dumb Ass Teenagers
I am, by far, the harshest person most people will meet.
My youngest brother, turning 16, is so ridiculously ungrateful that if you see me on trial for murder right after Christmas you'll know why.
He's recently decided to go on a hunger strike...because my parents took away his rights to the tv and computer when he REFUSED to answer if cell phone. He told my parents that he wanted to go to the movies with his friends after church Sunday. They were cool with that since my folks are pretty laid back about that stuff. The average movie runs about 1.5-2hrs. No worries. But then it went to past 2hrs with no phone call. My parents, reasonably worried that he might have died since he was going up to the mall with THE MOST traffic on this earth...(not even kidding, they have to hire cops on the weekends!) So they called. And he didn't pick up. So they waited 10 minutes or so because maybe he's in the bathroom then call again.
Eventually after questionable amount of phone calls later, he finally answers. Apparently they were just THEN going to the movies. Which makes you wonder where the fuck he was before that! I'm sorry, my parents are chill but every one of us, even Kevin who hated being confined, had the decency to at least make a quick call to his legal guardians to tell them there was a change in plans and hey we're going to so-and-so's house first then the movie at x-time. It common courtesy.
My favorite part is he likes to post his emoness on facebook, of which all family can see. So, me being the evil bitch I am, tell it to him straight. "Oh, you think by June you'll have a car and a job and can just leave for two weeks? Good luck. Don't know anywhere YOU'LL be working that'll just let you take more than a day or two off. And where are you gonna go? You aren't emancipated, you're under 18, don't have a credit card. And you need to buy your own car fyi, Dad's not doing it for you."
Then he says something like this and I follow up with my attitude:
I then linked him various sites on how to be emancipated since he obviously doesn't want to have the great life he does. Why should my parents have to deal with an ungrateful child? Mom's 50 and Dad's practically 50 himself. They're not young anymore and they don't need this bullshit. If he wants out, I've good information they'd be willing to sign the papers so he could maybe see what a fucktard he's being. He's been way more priviledged as the last child. He was given a cell phone (pay as you go) and doesn't have to put his money into it at all which is completely unheard of for us kids that came before him. He has free use of mom's computer which, pre-the rest of us getting jobs and buying our own, was a timed deal. 30 minutes on dial-up folks. We only got wifi because Jaymes and I reasoned with our dad that, as we both have internet classes and classes requiring internet submissions, it was better if we had wifi so we wouldn't be fighting for it. That's right, we know how to work the system to get what we need NOT be ass holes and act like it's our right and do nothing positive to convince the parents the idea is good.
My mom has told my dad that Eric's not allowed to drive her car. His talk of him taking it to races and such have ensured his not using it ever without a parent in the vehicle. Yep. He was dumb enough to say something like that in front of my mother. The stupidity combined with unreasonable indignation is just unfathomable.
Really. If he isn't dead by January it should be counted as divine intervention.
