this weekend has been challenging. i’ve been sick with what i can only assume is covid and it has severely limited my energy, my patience, and my ability to actually do anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to register with a handful of people. maybe for some it is because they are just too young to care about anyone but themselves, or maybe it’s because i downplay the severity to not appear weak or whatever, but fuck… a little empathy would be nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
things with z have been… uhmm… difficult. twice she has made plans for herself this past weekend, which is totally fine, the only thing i ask is “where are you going, and when will you be back?”, that’s it. and both times she has completely disregarded that. for example, she said she would be home by 9:00pm, and instead shows up at 11pm, no heads up, no explanation, no nothing. and when asked about it, i get a “bro, why do you even care? it’s not that deep.”…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i tried bringing it up with k because i could really use some parental backup in this regard, i don’t think i am being unreasonable. instead of backup though, i got condescension and was told i should calm down, she’s only 14 and doesn’t mean any harm by it. i just stopped the conversation there and didn’t respond any further after that. talk about a slap in the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so… maybe i am wrong? i don’t think i am… but what am i supposed to do here? i am sick and tired of being the bad guy all the fucking time. am i being unreasonable? should i just not care about this kind of thing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
