Day 3 — Your Parents
Eh, I guess people say it’s kind of odd only living with one parent in the house. That would be my mom and my dad is off living somewhere else. Always about the money. It’s weird how things have changed over time, I used to love my dad and I just didn’t like what my mom wanted me to do half the time. Now it’s the complete opposite, I love my mom and I despise my dad.
I have to say, it’s hard to live with a father who is poor and in debt. When all the food disappears in the house. It can’t even sit in the fridge for one day. He stays up at all hours of the night. He’s hypocritical in every sense of the word. He does his odd jobs to make ends meet .. for himself. Never the rest of the family.
That’s what bugged me the most when I finally came to realize, that my mom was the one keeping the family together. Not my dad, the so called man of the house. When my parents were getting separated, I didn’t mind one bit as things would be better around the house.
Also, I now realize how much my mother loves me. I don’t know how else to put it. She puts up with two boys, 16 and 19. She hardly complains about how lazy I am at times, she puts with my brother who is a brat often which I’ll talk about later I suppose. She’s the most patient person on the planet with me. I don’t know what I’d do without her on my own.
I love you mom.
