That a woman loses her sense of humor around her early thirties, if she has had children before then. How do I know? Experience. Yes, I haven't visited my "anger-blog" as I call it, in a while since I figure out that I don't too much give a rat's behind, what people think of me when I catch my temper. Yes, if you haven't figured this out, I do have temper problems. However, I still will be writing in my blog since it is an effective way of letting out my frustrations concerning my parents out without getting in an argument. If we do get in an argument it's just to try and make it seem like I am the dumb inexperienced child who knows nothing. I plead my case, and they act as a backstabbing self-appointed psychiatrist. How do I know? They sent me to one. However, there's only one difference, they argue with me while I'm trying to explain my side of the argument. They interrupt every freakin' thing I say! Other than that though, they act just like the weird, slightly-scared, uninterested white woman that I went to that one time. Except I actually enjoyed talking to her. I was highly upset at them for making me go there however, I hid it well. But, I let out all of that pent up frustration on the shocked little white lady by talking her to death, and acting like the ignorant little black child people portrayed me to be. Ha! I doubt she had a true assessment of me. It wasn't that I went off on her, I just started talking about all my friends, who I didn't like, and other things. I was as obnoxious and rude as the other black sixth graders I knew, but only for that moment. Anyway, back to my revelation.
My Ma came home like 10 minutes ago, and told me to go outside with her to wash my swim suit. Me, being sleepy, and obviously doing something, I responded with a playful "Grrrrrr!". It was a little growling sound, like one that a premature baby puppy would make. Not threatening at all! So this woman, being the ridiculous woman she is responded with "Okay, well we'll see who's going to be washing your clothes from now on" or something of that caliber. But what set me off was how she said it. She obviously had an attitude, and she gave me a look like I just told her to shove the swim suit up her butt or something. Which was exactly what I wanted to do at this point. I rolled my eyes like the snooty brat I am. I say this because I am, and it is she who made me like this. I have never washed clothes in my life. Does she not have a sense of humor? Did she think I was growling at her to be menacing? What the heck was wrong with her today??! Get on Myspace, or wash clothes? What would any normal teenager say? (Even though I'm far from normal) I growled I didn't curse at her! I didn't go "Up yours crazy lady!".
Everyone I know knows that I am dutifully counting the days until I leave the house, and start off on my own. And I plan to not ask my mother for anything when I do. I have my scholarship, and would sooner get put on welfare, and go to a homeless shelter than to live with my family past the age of 18. Therefore, October 25, 2011, I am leaving home. I am not asking for birthday presents, money loans, or a place to stay. I am working that out as we speak.
There are many things I am going to do once I hit the age of 18:
1. Get snake bites.
2. Get a tattoo.
3. Curse out my little sister.
4. Curse out my parents.
5. Get responsible, and serious about life.
And yes, I am extremely serious about number 4. I have a whole speech worked out, that I've been working on since I was 4 years old.
There is no word for how I am feeling. If there was such a word it would be very close to the words angry, and annoyed and tired. I'm tired of this family. No matter how hard I work they never appreciate anything. I worked my behind off in school holding in my anger and attitude, trying to surprise them by doing chores, planning to buy them gifts with my money, and maintaining a 4.0 so far. It seems as if they like taking precious things away from me and will strive to try no matter how good I'm trying to be. It started when me and my younger brother were working on an inspirational rap. He was doing a project on Oral Traditions and we decided to have a rapping contest, it turned into a song. The song was and still is very good. We just need a beat. So as we were about to finish it my "Mother" walked in yelling something about how we were not to ask her for anything as long as our rooms aren't clean. She was going on a rant about how dirty they were and not to bring her pamphlets for school or forms or ask her for money (which I rarely do). Once I thought she finished her rant I looked over my paper eyed my brother, who was in a trance, and unthinkingly said "Anyway," to snap him out of his thoughts and to finish our conversation. My "Mother" yelled "Who said anyway?!" I didn't expect her to hear me since she has eczema in her ear and usually doesn't hear much. And my "Father" boosted it up by going "uh-oh!" in what I guess what supposed to be a comical fashion. So the lady went on a rampage saying "Oh you can 'Anyway,' those brand-new clothes I bought you"...........no comment. And started walking me towards my room yelling about how she bought me those clothes and I always have an attitude towards her. I usually save my sarcastic and hilariously funny comments about her and the rest of my family for my friends, myself, and sometimes......my blog. So me being all sensitive about my appearance and stuff I retaliated with "What? I haven't had an attitude towards you in weeks! I actually changed alot, getting all A's in all of my classes and doing the chores!" And she goes on and on about how I've had and attitude towards her when she asks me to do stuff. Of course I do! She asks at the most inconvienient times, and I make a face but I always hold my tongue. And of course I do it without complaint. And then she starts talking about how some girls at my church have talked about how hard life is for them, and I'm thinking who? So the rest of the conversation is lost to me, and I'm not getting my clothes back anytimes soon. But one thing I know is that if they offer to buy me anything other than clothes I'm going to reply with "No, I'm sorry. I can't accept that because that's one more thing you're going to guilt trip me about, and if it makes you feel better, all of the things that you bought me you will be repaid for. Send me a bill when I go to college for everything I have cost you and I will repay it. Just don't expect to ever see me again in your whole entire life. Thank you for your hospitality."
Parents. A heavy subject. There's much to hate and much to love. But, we're not here to talk about the mushy stuff. We're here to talk about the blunt and annoying things about parents. Here are some:
1) They're very inconsistent
2) They're hypocritical.
3) They always have to be right.
4) They judge ALL teens the same way.
5) They live off of assumptions.
6) They have consistent mood swings.
7) They don't really understand your way of thinking.
8) They think too much.
9) They promise things that absolutely CANNOT be promised.
10) The lie without realizing it.
Here are some annoying things that parents say:
"My house, my rules--if you don't like it leave."-I'm 14 years old, do you think I have a choice?
"Why don't you make something of yourself?"-Tell you what--I'll stand out in the yard and be a tree--happy?
"I'm not one of your little friends in the street!"-No dip.
"Because I said so!" -Great comeback.
"That's what you're wearing?"-No I'm wearing abed sheet? What do you think?
"Why are you so moody?" - I'm not even being moody, I'm just sitting at the computer for god's sake.
"If you're so bored then do the housework." - That's even more boring, and I like my room the way it is!
"What's the matter?" Nothing is ever the matter!!!!
"Are you home?" When I come in and close the front door behind me. Well duh?
"Where were you?" When I come out of the bathroom.
"I'm very disappointed in you" Guilt trip route 1!
"Would you jump off of a bridge if (insert name) did too?" Dumbest question in the world! Do you actually think I'd do something so stupid?
"Are boys there?" -Of course...I'm 14 and does it really matter? Gosh I hate when they ask this! If there are boys will you drive 2500 miles to take me away, and for what reason?!
"You can't go anywhere until your room is clean." -Okay I guess I'm never leaving my room then....
"This hurts me more than it hurts you" -LIAR! THis is one of the biggest lies! First of all yoou're just feeling the emotional pain and I'm feeling the physical, emotional, and future trauma!
Annoying things parents do
2. Praising their friends' no-good kids in front of them while saying bad things about you.
3. Expecting you to get good grades because if not "it's the end of the world and you won't have a good job or life" and if you do get good grades they don't say anything
4. When we ask them for something, they'll start lecturing us on what it was like "when we were your age....."
5. When we complain that our homework is hard or there's too much, they use the above technique
6. Tellin you to be nice to your siblings when they constantly tease, annoy, and whine the jolliness out of you.
7. When relatives or friends give you presents they reject the present for you, telling them to take it back
8. Making you address everyone as your Aunty or Uncle
9. Buying you weird clothes (strange pictures, english words on them that don't make sense etc...) that you would never wear when they go on holidays
10. Like to bring up the topic of boys because it's "cute" but, when YOU bring it up you're being to "grown"
11. Telling their friends on the phone about bad grades and everything that they can use against you.
12. Beating the crap outta you and you can't do anything about it.
13. Expects you to be filial and look after them when they are old.
