Parents are so frustrating, my mom to be exact.
I have two B+'s, and the rest are all solid A's, and you think that'd be good grades!
But nooo, she just has to start yelling at me and going all "Why are they B+'s?! Are you too STUPID to get an A?!?! -insert yelling in chinese here-"
Before anyone goes into the whole "they just want what's good for you," I think you've got the wrong parent. -____-
My dad cares, yeah. He even said so himself. But all my mom wants is for me to make a bunch of money so that she can mooch off when I get older. She's even hinted at it 24052342 times!!
From my mom, it's always, "make sure you have good grades and get a high paying job so that you can take me on vacation w/you!" or "when I get older, you'll pay for me right?" and etc.
I swear, my mom has issues. All she ever cares about it money money money, and that's it. Every once in a while, she'll try and be a good mom, but then she gives up because she just doesn't care.
As for trying to show her what she's doing wrong/reasoning with her, she goes into the whole "I'm right and you're wrong. I'll always be right, and you have to bow down to me and do whatever I say" chinese yelling spree. It's just so.... ADSFJKLI
Then if I even hint at not wanting to be a freaking doctor or want to go to Stanford/Harvard, she starts telling me to be a hobo when I grow up, or saying that I'll be "some trash pick-up person" or a gardener...and more yelling.
She has to have some sort of brain damage, or just, something wrong with her to think that way. I mean really! She wants me to go to a top-notch private school so that she can go around bragging that her daugher goes to a top-notch private school, then go shopping around the area under the pretense of visiting me. That's all she EVER talks about!
Back to the whole grades thing, they were borderline B+'s just because she's always making me do all these things around the house because I'm apparently supposed to "help her out" by doing ALL the housework while she watches her freaking Korean dramas. I'd have no problem if she wasn't watching her tv, or sleeping the extra hours that I'm always lacking! The rest of my grades were like, 96%, 95.79%, 94.99%, and 98.42% -_____-. I mean, seriously. They're GOOD GRADES and all she can do is complain about how stupid I am to not be able to get solid A's in those particular two classes (even though I would've have them if not for her) >:[
Besides, it's just a progress report! It's not like it's my actual report card, and it's not like I don't want A's in all of my classes. Her constant belittling of me isn't really helping anything at the moment.
Kay, I'm done ranting.

Yay ranting!
ReplyDeleteAnd although it doesn't seem like it, she does care about you. She just doesn't show it.
Actually, I take that back.
When you call her and ask her, "oh, can I have this and this for dinner?" or something, she'll say yes. That's saying something! Especially if she loves money as much as you say she does.
I know parents who will be like "No. Eat leftovers. I'm too lazy to go buy you stuff. Or make food. Blahhhh *goes off and buys stuff for self*"
Don't take it to heart, and keep moving alongggg~! rararar.
I think she really does care about you....
ReplyDeleteand yea...so what if she screams at you for having b+'s...she just wants the best for you in the long run...all parents are like that sometimes...dont compare t to my and tina's parents...theyre pretty lax...just saying...
O.o actually Tina, she does do that. She'll be all "No. Eat leftovers, I'm busy *goes to watch tv*" Then I just don't eat :D (Cause the leftovers are usually a week old...and that's just gross o.o)
ReplyDelete:/ I used to think she wants the best for me, but not anymore. Like my dad cares, he really REALLY does, and you can tell. But with my mom, it's just like "O.o wtf, who treats their children like that?"
Like, she'll be the "nice mom" when people are there, and otherwise she goes all silent but deadly on me, saying "B+? How could you get a B+?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! WHY CAN'T YOU GET AN A?! Why can't you be a good child?! Be more like -insert random name here, now commonly Michelle-?! I bet SHE gets straight A's!! *rant rant rant fume fume fume*"
She's trying to make me do everything she wanted to do (sports, go to some really top college, then some well-known graduate school for a PHD or something) and she really doesn't care otherwise. I'm not her stupid character in some retarded life-simulation computer game -_____-
And I'm not really comparing to your parents, like, if you compare my mom to my dad, they're complete polar opposites(to the point where my mom uses me to ask for stuff for her from my dad now -___-[but it's not like I do it~]) But like, my dad seems like what my mom really is, but my dad is what my mom seems like. Not sure if that made sense, but yeah. That's the gist of it. Now that I think about it, it's like they switched personalities/bodies since middle school o.o...
