It's still bugging me...
Dear mum,
Helping me move =/= spending quality time. You spending another 2 weeks over with my brother and only seeing me (if you have time) is -not- good parenting. I'm your spawn too.
This has been bugging the shit out of me since I was informed that my mother felt that way about me. Sure, it was only a few hours ago; but it still annoys the hell out of me. I know she favours my brother like a carnivore favours fresh meat over leafy greens, but it doesn't stop how much I hate it.
On the trip to work this morning/afternoon I was thinking... So many times she's said to me; "You should have been the boy." Usually it's referring to when she's trying to make me dress more 'feminine' (*shudder*), but after the talk with Amber this morning, it got me thinking more about it - and related things.
If I told her what was going on in my brain, would she just poo-poo it like she does with most things? Or would things change?
Pfft. Doubt it. She'd probably tell me the good old; "No, you're not. Stop being stupid." Ugh, how much I hate that fucking line.
Guess I should get back to work, cutting out little laminated cards and replying to emails and stuff. Only one hour to go! Woot.
