Jidithrambus: i still feel like people will think i'm an entitled shit because i'm middle class and have things to live on
[9:36:17 AM] Jidithrambus: and because others have "conquered" this situation without "making a scene about it"
[9:36:25 AM] Friend: :/
[9:36:35 AM] Jidithrambus: here's the thing, though...
[9:36:42 AM] Jidithrambus: dad's income is six figures
[9:36:52 AM] Jidithrambus: and mom had to actually convince him to let us get a house at all
[9:37:26 AM] Jidithrambus: or rennovate the kitchen and family room, which he forces us to be his "helpers" with because he always insists on doing everything himself so we don't have to pay outside help and spend his precious $100K a year
[9:37:41 AM] Friend: ... wow
[9:37:47 AM] Jidithrambus: and whenever he wants anything, he forces mom to plan everything for him
[9:37:57 AM] Friend: he has a problem
[9:38:06 AM] Jidithrambus: he will never, ever go out to the store or even look at things with her because he expects everything to be laid out before him, and for everyone to anticipate his desires
[9:38:38 AM] Jidithrambus: when we used to go on vacation, he refused to look at the clothes she was packing for a snow trip (she's from florida and so you can expect she was inexperienced with packing such things)
[9:38:52 AM] Jidithrambus: and when we got there, he exploded in fury because she didn't pack the things he wanted, which he never told her he wanted
[9:39:10 AM] Jidithrambus: as for me and him...
[9:39:27 AM] Jidithrambus: everything we get is basically his convenience money
[9:39:51 AM] Jidithrambus: even when we were paying 30,000 for me to go to university for two years, it was mom who took up the slack and got a job to do something about it
[9:39:57 AM] Jidithrambus: so i'm thankful to her
[9:40:11 AM] Jidithrambus: still, every weekend, dad goes out to restaurants
[9:40:40 AM] Jidithrambus: so he clearly doesn't have to work all day to make ends meet
[9:40:46 AM] Jidithrambus: yet he doesn't take any vacations whatsoever
[9:40:52 AM] Jidithrambus: unless someone else forces him to
[9:41:00 AM] Friend: ... he sounds like really egoistic piece of shit for me
[9:41:01 AM] Jidithrambus: in which case he takes his work materials anyway and works while he's there
[9:41:10 AM] Jidithrambus: and yells at everyone for not making the trip just right for him
[9:41:30 AM] Jidithrambus: so, yeah
[9:41:37 AM] Jidithrambus: he gives us his convenience money
[9:41:51 AM] Jidithrambus: and then he holds it over our heads that he's "working so hard every day to make things just right for us"
[9:42:04 AM] Jidithrambus: when he won't apologize for anything and never stops bitching about stupid little shit
[9:42:09 AM] Jidithrambus: but you can't talk back to him, oh no
[9:42:17 AM] Jidithrambus: yeah, sure, i have free time
[9:42:34 AM] Jidithrambus: but it's not like i get to go prancing around being happy all the time
[9:42:46 AM] Jidithrambus: i don't want to be involved in another project
[9:42:55 AM] Jidithrambus: sit through more of his talking that i can't interrupt
[9:43:04 AM] Jidithrambus: for any reason except absolute necessity (bathroom)
[9:43:42 AM] Jidithrambus: and risk being screamed at because i don't want to do work for this man who never apologizes for hitting me or screaming us out for trivial shit
[9:44:09 AM] Jidithrambus: so yeah...
[9:44:14 AM] Jidithrambus: indeed [dude]
[9:44:40 AM] Jidithrambus: but also just clearing it up for people who don't get why i am so fucking angry even though i "have everything"
