my mom, my brother, and i were all sitting on our laptops in the living room. myspacing.

my mom was pissed off that her friend still hadn't returned one of her netflixes. so i mustered up my best pee wee and told her "why don't you myspace message her?'

lolz, indeed.

I really want to explain myself to you. Here's what you wrote (copy and pasted)

it sounds like you're bitter. which is understandable if you've had it really bad... but you said you have a car? go to college? (and, i believe, have a job?)
in my book, you have no right to be pissed off at this kid. you have it better than a shitload of people. at least this kid has a job for baby jesus' sake. i know freeloading douchebags who don't even work, but i don't let it eat my lunch.
but you know what? i'd still be friends with this kid. if he doesn't know the value of money, then he probably wouldn't mind buying me dinner or helping me pay my electric bill. i went to college and i make $800 a month (and no, i don't live somewhere where the cost of living is low.) i would totally freeload of my parents so i could find a better job if i could. i have a feeling i'll be homeless in a couple of months.
anyway. don't waste your time judging other people. you're obviously coming from a privileged place in your life if you have the time to worry about petty bullshit like that.

And my reply. (please read.)

Okay...my wording was HORRIBLE. but I feel it's worthy of taking the time and contacting EVERYONE. I want you all to understand me. For my post that kid..is Luke. I have known him for 12 years. And he lived with me for 18 months not too long ago. I tried everything to help him grow up and stop relying on his mom for everything that he's able to do himself. If he wanted to try. His mother has been babying him for years instead of being a mother. She asked me to help him in places she couldn't because well he's more likely to listen to me than her. I gave it my heart and soul. This is a guy that EVERYDAY I had to tell him to shower, clean his room, clean up after eating, etc. I worked on getting him jobs that he later would get fired from bc i didn't wake him up. (I stopped being his mommy about that. a 20 year old should be able to get up and go to work on time, right?) I worked on trying to teach him about life bc I see him as my little brother. But man It's tough. I can't push anymore. But it made me think of how i also help a few

i didn't mean privileged in the sense that money comes easily to you. i meant that you don't spend your days scrounging change to feed yourself and worrying about where you'll sleep at night.

anyway, i'm not disagreeing that this kid doesn't sound like a total douchebag. but, it's going to catch up to him eventually. i sincerely doubt he'll be in the same position in ten years... people will get sick of taking care of him, and he's going to be shit out of luck. i understand your frustration because you tried to help him and all, but my point is this:

it seems to me you should feel sorry for him, being angry with him does no good.

anyway, i wasn't jumping on you. it seemed to me that you were asking for perspective, and that's just my honest opinion.

please delete if you want to. I had no idea it's so wrong to post in ppls person journal. Even on public posts. I'm really sorry.
