What is it with parents? I am so mad right now I could scream! My parents are the total controdiction in terms. Let me start with what happened tonight not 10 min ago. I would have spent a pleasant day with the boys.. and I did till dad came home at 2pm this afternoon and promptly went to bed. Of course the boys and I are expected to be quiet. Like I'm gonna be able to keep a 6 year old and 2 year old quiet short of exileing us outside till dad deigns to wake up. So when dad does wake up I took the boys upstairs with me to my room (dad was grumpy). I put in anime... naturally. My parents incidently HATE anime. mom comes home from meeting at about 6 pm. So the boys start going up and downstairs. At about 7 I'm told it's time to start dinner. No big deal right? Now I ask you... how many people does it take to make Mac and cheese? According to mom a minimum of two people..... She had already started the noodles cooking (wich I will add right now I would have had no problem cooking) She then proceeds to come and tell me that I'm neglecting my responsibility.... I will admit I am not the best mother... I take every opportunity to rest... I have a full time job and odd hours. I admit I should have started dinner myself (not that I should have to cook for mom and dad on my day off >_<..just the boys) It's just the way they make me feel rotten for watching that stupid anime and not "Taking care of my responsibilities.." in other words they expect me to watch tv downstairs and ignore them rather than watch anime upstairs.. The thing that really gets me is all my parents ever did was watch TV with my when I was little...... They didn't go outside and play with me... I was ignored and told to be quiet so they could hear the TV... and yet I am a bad mother for having my door open allowing the boys to go in and out and watching anime.. I think it's just the fact that I watch anime that gets to them... I amm soooooo pissed
