She past week I have just been in a lousy mood, and you know why? Well, it’s because my mother is so annoying that’s why. No, scratch that annoying isn’t the right word, no witch is more horrible you know why because witches are evil (traditionally) and enjoy making people’s life’s challenging, and she enjoys making my life difficult. Honestly, I thought I was at a point in my life where this was in the past, but I was wrong because honestly this whole week she has been on my cases actually she start on Wednesday or Tuesday.
See I’ve been helping my friend lately with his school work, so when I asked her to go to Kevin’s house to help with the assignment, was the response to that “what a nice thing you’re doing helping your friend.” Or how about “I hope you can do it.” No, it wouldn’t be anything that nice no, no, no, she said “You know at least he’s working, he‘s trying to make something of his life you’re just going through the motion for major to major. You know you can’t be a professional college student.” And no she was not joking because she was yelling. Mommy dearest then decided to list all of my failures and problems and throw them in my face, just evil. The accounting classes and the computer coding classes, it’s not my fault that she decided that I needed a for me to try out for a business major. I look and how to find something and However it doesn’t work, and she would never admit to something that I’ve tried didn’t work for me. After all, she knows everything even though she’s never taken a business class or coding class and wouldn’t know anything about it. I know I can’t major in writing because I need a source of income, but finding a replacement is hard. Then she mentioned the blog, it’s not my fault nothings been happening in my world to write about, plus I didn’t even want this blog because I have no life to blog.
Furthermore, her pointing out something that I already knew about and think about daily got me really upset. Which is a mistake in my household because if she gets mad, she’ll yell at you for an hour but don’t you even let her think you’re upset with something she’s done. Otherwise his you’re being unhung grateful brat or monster. Even after I yelled and mellowed out things were clearly unpleasant but still I want an out with the family anyway cuz I said I was going to. Apparently (according to her), I have been spending a lot of time lately with the family but let’s check that. Let’s see, I go with Dad to get lunch, I always ask my Lil bro if he wants to hang out with me and Ce-Ce can’t leave the house so who’s left in the family that would make me want to avoid a family outing?
Anyway, I go on the family outing, and we’re in the car. Now she’s about to get out of the car, and I’m leaning over the arm rest in the center. Now, just to be a thorn in my side she decides to tell me to move over, cause I’m taking up space. Keep in mind she’s in the front, and Lil bro (whose side I’m leaning on) is about to get out of the car. So, there is 0 reason to do this other than to annoy me, and despite that I still do it. However, as I said early in my house it’s a crime to show unhappiness for the queen’s orders, so as I do what she asks I say here “I’ll do the thing, for the woman who was about to leave the car anyway and doesn’t sit back here.” Well her eyes got real big, and she was like “yeah, oh, oh, how dare he? Who is this child?” Cause I forgot how much of a problem she has when someone points out that she’s being annoying to her, well that’s not fair more of a nuisance really.
I found out the next day from dad, so it seemed like the same decision even though he said after the mother left the car “it was unnecessary, but still you shouldn’t have done it.” So no driving until they say so, and the worst part is instead of giving me the day or a date so I can make plans around it instead they said I can drive when I learn to watch my mouth. So basically the one happy part of my life, getting to drive freely around is now gone and will come back at random, great. Knowing mom, she’ll probably wait until something significant that I’ve been waiting for comes along and then give it back a week after that. Seriously the two weeks off I get to hang out with the Kevin and go places, she ruins everything.
Then today, just when I think I’m making some progress, just when I think things are going great she gets on my nerves again. I’m home minding my own business just sitting in the basement enjoying the afternoon. So she comes downstairs and says “Amari, why don’t you come up the entire families outside cleaning the car” like it’s a group activity. First of all, we’re taking the junk out of your car trunk that’s filled cuz you’re a pack rat, mother. Second, because I’m not going to help them because it’s outside in the middle of the summer which is something I don’t like to do. I don’t like sweat, I don’t like bugs, I don’t like the sun, and she knows these things. But she brought up how her kids mean being antisocial, so she makes me go out and do it. Dad didn’t see how it was necessary, and he didn’t need me for it, but I do what little he needed then went back inside.
I come back inside and I in a lousy mood because I’m was fighting off mosquitoes and sweaty like a pig. So, get what she says to me “Why are you so angry towards me?” and I say “because you’re the reason I had to go outside and do all this stuff I didn’t want to do.” And then you know what she said “but Amari you should do it because you should want to” I’m sorry I should want to do stuff I dislike a no that’s not how people work. Just because Mommy dearest wants something doesn’t mean everyone is automatically on board. Daddy is no help either after 20 years of marriage whenever my mom gets angry and starts yelling just to ignore it and let her talk to you how she wants. Yeah, sure I’ll be like him and just bottle up all my problems and let them roll off my back, No. I’m not going to be surprised if he just eventually goes off on her one day because she regularly just yells at him.
You know I try to be a nice and I’m easily in the only family to ask her how her day went or if she needs anything. Until I get my car driving privileges back, she doesn’t have anyone asking how she is or if she needs anything nope not anymore. That witch can help herself.
