When I think of parents I think of people that provide for their children, put their children before themselves, and are role models. My parents are not this way at all.
My mom hurt herself at work a long time ago and hasn't worked since. She gets social security and stays home all day. I guess I can sympathize with her since she actually has something wrong with her. My stepdad, on the other hand, just seems to hate working. He has had so many jobs in the past 5 years, but hasn't stuck with any of them for more than a few months. He's been unemployed about 20 of the last 24 months. He has no college education so not too many good paying jobs are available to him, other than trucking. He's qualified for so many trucking jobs but he just doesn't apply for them. Just recently he got a call from a company saying he could have a job with them if he just took the required tests at the DMV. He has to take quite a few since he'll be dealing with hazardous materials, but he hasn't even started studying. They called last week and he still hasn't done anything! He is so lazy... and he constantly complains about how much everything costs and how poor he is! It's like he expects to just be able to sit on his ass all day and get paid for it! He kind of does, too... unemplyment gives him $1600 each month. BTW he spends $600 a month on cigarettes and alcohol, and our rent is $1400 a month.
Then my mom is always complaining about how lazy my stepdad is and how he's not providing for his family. I totally agree but if I were her I'd do it myself. I knows she's hurt, but social security only gives her about $900 dollars each month. If she's so convinced my stepdad is lazy and won't provide for the family shouldn't she take one for the team and get a job herself? Sometimes she talks about it but says she needs to get paid under the table or use a different SSN so she can still get her social security! That is totally appalling to me! What kind of person wants to collect money from SS (that is totally running dry) that they don't even need? She's always complaining about how they don't give her or anyone else enough money and then she talks about abusing it like that... people like her are the ones screwing it up!
Another thing my mom likes to complain about is the governator and how he hates poor people, yet she's a republican, which just confuses the hell out of me. She hates democrats, and HATES Obama, but LOVES republicans, just not their legislation... WTF? I don't think she understand politics very well. She's a social conservative and an economic liberal... I'm totally the oposite... I don't think she knows this about herself though. She just knows she loves Jesus and hates abortions, but wants to take rich people's money and pocket it. *sigh*
Soon I won't have any health insurance, and niether of them even cares. What if I need it? I'm in desperate need of a Chiropractor, and I get cavities really easily. I asked what happens if I get a cavity and she told me I'll just have to pay for it myself (however many hundred it costs).
They also get on me sometimes about eating the food (which we never seem to even have any of) and using the electricity without contributing to the household. I just moved back from college (which I dropped out of by the way because I couldn't afford it, going to CC now) and have been looking for a job. I finally got one but seems to be a dud so far. I keep telling them that unlike them I have to work for my money, and that I'm saving it for a car and grad school, and my future, and to buy myself the shit I need (haven't bought new clothes in over a year). They don't seem to understand. Why should I have to work full time and go to school full time, and give them my hard earned cash when they just sit on the couch and collect from the damn government!
I don't expect them to provide me with everything I want, I just want to have some health insurance and some food to eat. I don't think that's too much to ask of them.
I just want a decent life for myself. The last 18 years of my life have been seriously lacking in any kind of life experiences or fun. I'm doing my best to make my future better, and that means making money for myself so I can take a couple trips, and buy a car and not be too overly poverty stricken when I'm in grad school. Whenever I have money they make me feel selfish for not sharing it with them! If I shared my money with them I would have nothing, now or ever!
Every day I spend with them I respect them less and less. I just want to do everything possible not to end up like them! The things they say and do literally make me sick.
They just piss me off so much. I desperately want to move out but I'd never be able to afford it, and even if I could I wouldn't have a car, or enough money to spare to save up for one. I'm stuck here in this hell for at least 3 more years and it is totally depressing!
