Okay. So, I wasn't planning to post another thing today but a dispute just occurred between my dad and I and I just had to rant about it. Let's get started.
I'm sure that I've mentioned this already but I'll mention it again: I am sooo boring. Like, there is no depth within my personality. During the school year, I volunteer and attend my badminton games after school. Those are the only 2 reasons as to WHY I would stay after school. (If neither happen, I'd just go home.) Once after that, I'd head home and eventually get my homework done. Homework done by the end of the day is pretty much the goal. On top of that, I help prepare for dinner and I clean the entire 3 floors of my house on Saturday. That's even more than you can expect from someone, right?
WELL, my dad tells me after I play like 5 minutes of Temple Run that buying a phone has negatively affected me. Okay, let me tell you something fellow lurkers: I am not your stereotypical phone-addicted, school failing, party girl. That is what my dad thinks I'll become. Wait, correction: he worries that I won't get fricken 90's on all of my school subjects. SMFH.
I am a slacker, no doubt about it. However, I have limits to them and will get my work and any duties completed on time. That man who I call a father can go suck something because if he thinks that 100% of my time should be on reading(they're fiction books btw), he is a jerk. I have a life you know. Even if it is just texting my cousin or watching YouTube videos. Plus, by the way he uses his free time, it looks like he has a LIFE too! I feel like he thinks that I have no value unless I'm intelligent, yet the irony of it is that he didn't even complete high school -.-
So, my message is that everyone deserves to have a well balanced, (work, social, health/ fitness, & spiritual) life. So, to my dad, just because you give me a book, it doesn't mean that I'll read it. I work through self-motivation. Thanks for reading and my next post should be up on Monday. Till then~

My experiences aren't quite like that, but my family is big on forcing me to read boring books. Like, my grandmother gave me this book called The Elegance of the Hedgehog and my mom made me read it. It was so long and boring that, to this day, I'm still not entirely sure what it was about. Then my mom made me read A Town Like Alice, which I will admit has a good plot, but the chapters were far too long which made the book go a lot slower, especially when I actually had some stuff to complete on the computer for dA. My parents don't realize that when I'm on my computer, I'm usually doing some sort of work, be it art or writing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess that I'm not in the worst position but I just feel like I'm always picked on for the things I don't do than being applauded for the things that I do do.
DeleteI also agree with the computer statement because just 3 days ago, when I created my DIY post, that took me quite a few hours to complete, so it isn't exactly a "waste of time".
I think this is my favourite post of yours, I can definitely relate. My dad would always tell me to go study grade 12 math during my weekends -.- Seriously? Grade 12 math? How do you expect me to understand that? :P Oh, and Temple Run is awesome! =D
