Getting a job and moving out sounds like a wise idea. Only you can help yourself if that’s what you really want.
Yeah I know. I just need to save up the money to do it. Every place around here is really expensive.
I remember it all too well. <sigh>. I was sitting in Civics Class at school, ironically the topic that week had been the 3 branches of government, and that particular day we were going over the powers and duties of the president. The intercom crackled and then with a catch in his voice and an outright sob at the end of the announcement, the principal told us that Mr. Kennedy had been shot. And I distinctly remember Susan, who sat in front of me, whining “Well that’s just swell - I bet they cancel the Fall Fling tonight”.
And on a lighter note, can you stand a little "cuteness overload?" Lately for some reason Kendra has been unusually affectionate with Katie and can't get enough of being with her. In the past, if Katie tried to give Kendra a hug or play with her, Kendra would pull back and even sometimes get mad at her. "Get out of my SPACE!" But lately where Katie is, Kendra wants to be, with voluntary hugs and snuggles. I caught these yesterday:

The next time I went in there, she was giving Katie a hug.

Then they mugged it up a bit for me.
Awwww great pictures.
Kelsey, I've been thinking of your post since reading it this morning. Lots of things I'd like to say in reply but I'll stick with just two:
1. You owe your parents an apology
2. It's time you learned some gratitude
And that's all I'm going to say about that.
Time to move on with the day!
I appreciate what you're trying to say but I don't really get how you can say that I need to learn gratitude from that one incident? I'm plenty grateful and realize everything they've done for me, which is a lot. They don't have to let me stay here or pay for some stuff but they do. I know that already. And like I said, I do usually eat everything, but what was I supposed to do? Eat a really rare burger and get sick? I will admit I for sure could have handled it better and didn't need to act like a two year old and storm off but I'm also not going to eat something that I know for a fact will make me extremely sick.
I suppose I could have just gotten up and reheated it silently rather than even saying anything or storming off but even then I guarantee he still would have asked what I'm doing because that's just how he is.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think not wanting to get sick makes me ungrateful...
And for the record, my mom was 100% on my side and agreed that it was way too red. That particular burger was put on last.
And I also already apologized last night. And my dad even said it's okay and that he didn't blame me soo. They're fine now.
Now that said, I will say that I don't help around the house at all and I could definitely do more to help so I am planning on starting to do that. Little stuff I should be doing all along like dishes, vacuuming, taking the trash out, doing my own laundry, etc. I do help with this stuff sometimes, not like I've never done it, but not nearly enough. But that said, the few times they've gone away, I do all of that and more, like cook my own food. I admit I'm probably slightly enabled but I can do my own stuff and I'm also fully aware of all this.
And I don't really get how you got that from one post.
I am plenty grateful and do appreciate everything despite what it may have seemed like.
I'm also, like I said, fully aware of any issues I may have. It's not like I am unaware.
Example, I have a friend who treats her parents like **** and doesn't appear to appreciate anything they do despite the fact they bought her a brand new car when she first got her license amd do everything.
I'm not like that and never would be.
I am fully aware and appreciative of everything.
I may have a bit of a temper sometimes and occasionally lazy but I don't think that makes me ungrateful or a terrible person.
I might be wrong though.
But I'm also working on changing everything because, like I said, I am aware of my issues.
Unlike my friend and other people I know in the area who are completepy spoiled brats and don't care or don't realize it.
You were busy winning the Caption Contest, we understand
Yes, quite a few of them
Puppy needs more than one walk per day! Just do the loop 3 or 4 times.
And you walked the dog for 5 minutes every 15 minutes, right?
Almost
since you said your birthday is in December.
And yours!
I've been watching WWII documentaries, hit a couple of Vietnam ones as well. Tell this young man to do the same. You can't do that and not feel the gravity of it. For instance, at one point in WWII the likelihood that a B17 crew member would return alive from any given mission was 66%. 10 men in a plane. The guys had to fly 25 missions before they were sent home. Think about that for a minute. It is amazing any of them rotated out with those odds but they did.
Probably doesn't need to be said, but it sounds like your mother could use some substance abuse help.
Gee you are old!
Yeah I know, thwy walk her in the mornings and/or at night usually. They just need me to walk her during the day.
