Angsty post
I just got a job. Sure, 19 hours a week at minimum wage when you only get paid once a month is kinda crappy, but I gotta have the money to buy Christmas presents and working for the art department is about the only job that'll work around my college schedule.
I NEED money, and Dad hasn't been paying me ANYTHING. He owes me about $800 since he couldn't pay for my graduation Disney trip last year. I had to use my own money and though he swore up and down that he'd pay me back I haven't seen a cent and Granny jumps down my throat if I even mention money and my dad. I know he's had a hard time and he's trying to get his own money situation straight right now, but I also know that I'm having to struggle because of it..and have been for about a year. SO. I'm starting to lose patience with everyone except Mom, who's having to pay for MY expenses.
On top of all of that my bottom retainer has a crack in it ($320.) and my wisdom teeth need to be removed ($1600.). I have very difficult classes so there's no way I can have a REAL job and make A's. *sigh* I don't like being upset about these things and I'm usually not but I don't know WHAT to do.
I guess the entire situation with Dad slapped me in the face when he said "I got a new job, Tia! $20 an hour and I only have to work four days!" That's great, Dad. What are you gonna do right now? "I'm goin' to drink beer!" Whoa! Money to buy booze but none to pay your daughter? Or help your MOTHER even, who's paying for the bills in her house that you're using up? It's frustrating to me that all he seems to care about is women and playing around like a teenager while I'm needing help with no-one to turn to.
I'm not blaming my Dad, I'm just...I really need some money right now, you know? Mom can't do it all.
