ANd so the drama begins...
Well my brother came up this weekend with his gf. It was so awesome although he picked one of the crappiest weekends to drive. I love seeing him though.
He updated me on things that are going on at home in more detail. Supposedly he caused some drama with my mom. He and her haven't always seen eye to eye on things. He took her out to lunch and what not and they were talking. I dont know excatly what went down, but he really upset her. To top it off, he told her that he gave me the option to stay at his house when I'm home on break. (He gave me this option awhile ago..I just never took him up on it). Well she went home all upset and then my dad sent the three of is an e-mail titled "Canned Lecture #1"
Here's part of it: You are all adults and entitled to you opinions. If you, Scott and Brian, individually opt not to visit Mom and me at our home, that's perfectly fine.
Amanda, however, is a different case. You get to live at school or home. If you decide that you can not put up with living at home during breaks, I can not put up with paying tuition, fees, room & board, books, etc. Is that coercion?? You bet it is.
I know that your Mom loves you all without limits. Not having you around hurts her. She and I both wish we were better connected with the three of you.
In summary, I will not allow any of you to be disrespectful to your Mom. She's done her best to raise you and deserves your respect on both merits and her position as your parent. Nearly 10 years ago, I told your Grandparents that they were not welcome in my house due to some of your Grandfather's comments. I don't want to tell any of you that you're not welcome. However, my first and ultimate loyalties are to your Mom. I made a commitment to her a long time ago and I do my best to live up to my obligations.
There were other parts I just chose to leave them out. I just love how I get pulled into things because of what SCott freakin does. I never agreed to going to his house. I was gonna stay at home. but threatening me with my college crap is bullshit. I didnt do a damn thing to get it. I don't know that pisses me off. I should be used to that from my dad though. He's always been harder on me with everything.
Today I gave another open house. I still have to fill out my parer work to do the whole career exploration thing. That shouldnt take me long and would be fun to do I guess.
Off to get food with jill and aj and then back to some work
