I'm tired of eating 3 meals a day
I'm tired of waking up to eat between 8 and 9 a.m. I've never been a 3 meal a day type person and this is driving me absolutely crazy. I'm not hungry but i have to eat and I have to eat an amount of food that seems to my mind large simply because if i ever ate breakfast it would be like a sandwhich. Instead now I eat: oatmeal, an egg, some type of bread, milk, and either yogurt or some fruit. None of that is hugely portioned of course but eating well balanced meals so my body can do it's thing with this insulin is weighing on my nerves lol.
Anyway...I had an interesting conversation with Alex last night. We talked about our families and I realized he's in a similar situation to my sister, F. See Alex and F. have both spent their lives trying to be agreeable with the parents so now the parents have come to expect it from them and think they can tell them what to do forever and treating them like they're forever 10. While my other sister, L., and I, as well as, Alex's brothers have made it a point to do what we want and our parents have come to expect that from us. Alex's parents constantly try to fix him up with 18 yr old girls or girls straight from Mexico (still young) that his father feels like, and I quote, "will be slaves." Alex tries to inform them that he doesn't want someone that's going to do everything he says and he wants to be with someone closer to his age. In the end, he walks away not wanting have that conversation. If he sees someone close to his age they feel like he's dating someone too old. Yet his brothers freely make their own choices.
Alex's parents will probably not like me. lol But that's not a new concept to me. I already think his mother doesn't. Whenever I call him and she answers she acts like she forgot who Alex is for a moment. Then I think she tries to find out if I'm hispanic or not and starts speaking spanish to me when I clearly haven't spoken a lick of spanish to her but I always know what she's saying and I think that's good enough for her and she remembers who Alex is. Alex says his father gives him the most problems but when he answers the phone he's been the most plesant to me. His younger sister (17) always has an attitude of what do I want with her brother and ALWAYS calls me Taylor when I clearly tell her 50 times I'm Tyler. I hate when people assume I don't know my own name. His younger brother (24 or 25) sometimes is straight up rude to me and disrespectful to Alex but sometimes he's nice to me and we have nice conversations. he's not the brightest crayon in the box though because I've met him before and my car has been parked in the driveway and yet he doesn't notice when I'm over there and we just don't say anything we he calls for Alex. I'm not parked in the driveway but I'm parked across the street still in front of the house.
Anyway, I told Alex last night that him and my sister are just going to have to come to the point where they stand up to the parents or they'll never have their own life.
