I’m fucking done

I’m sure as hell calling out my dad for what he just did- Any of you guys ever have one of those moments where your mom or your dad acts like a fucking 5 year old? Well I just had one of those moments. My dad comes in my room and gives me the laundry from downstairs, telling me to put it up and I didn’t hear what he said afterwards but guess what he does? Instead of handing me the basket he throws it on the floor, spilling the clothes in the process and doesn’t even apologize nor pick them up. He just leaves the room without any explanation for his actions whatsoever. Not that the explanation would’ve mattered. Nothing excuses just throwing them on the floor. And the thing is......I can’t do anything about it. I’m expected to just keep my mouth shut and put my clothes away like I’m supposed to. It’s funny how when kids act out it’s not okay but when parents act like 5 year olds it’s fine. I’m just so fucking done with how he acts sometimes

Angry Parenting Tips #1

When the parent wants you to do something yourself and then repeatedly refuses to let you do it on your own. Mixed messages, how I love thy.

For Parents who aren’t aware: when someone is talking on the phone, don’t interrupt them, especially when you’re trying to teach them how to be independent. Not only does it make it hard for the newly 18 year old to hear the nurse person on the other end of the phone, but it’s annoying and counterproductive to your goal. 

If you’re going to take over the call then don’t get mad when the 18 year old straight up hands you the phone.

If you, the parent, doesn’t like being interrupted on the phone, then don’t interrupt your kids when they are on the phone either. Treat them how you want to be treated. Just because they came from you doesn’t mean your kid is any less deserving of your respect. It doesn’t make them any less human.

If you want respect you have to earn it, your kids won’t respect you if you don’t respect them.

Considering locking my door just to feel safe </3

Reasons my mother is a Thief of Light:

-- Just like Vriska, she always makes everything about her. For example, my transition and gender presentation is apparently all about her because she has a reputation to uphold and being associated with someone like me might hurt that. 

-- Just like Vriska, she is obscenely lucky. When we play card games, she regularly does things with a 3-5% success chance in only one or two attempts. She did so four times in under a half hour today. 

-- Just like Vriska, she personally assisted in the ultimate evil’s rise to power, out of a foolish belief that she would be able to help defeat it later. She voted for Reagan in the Republican primaries in 1980 because she thought he was so extreme he’d be unelectable.

I hope I'll be able to start hrt.

My mother is accepting to an extent. She still uses female pronouns and my birth name. But other than that, she doesn't care.

I just don't know if I'm gonna have to push constantly in order to even start it (it'll be her apartment. So, y'know. I've even thought of just starting it without telling her tbh, since she'd mostly be hosting at a campsite for the summer. But idk if it's be covered by insurance. It probably would be but still) or if she'll just be still calling me female pronouns and my birth name when I'm growing a fucking beard (if I could grow one without problems that is)

So in short, if you've got a fuckton of research stuff, send them if you can. I've been saving all the links just in case. Hopefully she'd read them if it comes to that. Hopefully it doesn't. I just want to get it all done and over with tbh.

I'm really hoping I'd be able to start hrt when I move with my mother

Last I talked to her she didn't seem very happy about the whole thing but just accepts it, but idk if she just rather me be pre-T and just accept me there with the name and clothes and pronouns, or if she actually understands that this isn't one of those things that'll change if it stays like this.

Idk, I'm gonna have to talk to her about it, but I feel like she'd just try and change the subject.

It's going to be weird as hell.

It's like moving in with a stranger.

Mom: Like, I don’t believe in that pagan blood sacrifice stuff.

Me: Isn’t your whole religion based on a blood sacrifice that you accept and worship every Sunday?

Mom: IT’S NOT THE SAME!!!! DON’T YU DARE DO THIS TONIGHT!!!! I’M NOT A BAD OR EVIL PERSON!!!!

Me: I’m not saying you’re evil or bad; I see literally nothing wrong with blood sacrifice. I’m just saying it’s not just a pagan thing...

Mom: IT’S NOT THE SAME, OKAY?! IT’S DIFFERENT!!!!!!

🤦🏼‍♀️

Does anyone else feel like a constant disappointment to their parents? Because it feels like everything I do I just get sighs from my dad and I just feel like he's stuck with me
