Hel-lo Overreaction.
Today I was sitting on the couch with Landon, when my dad asked me to do something in the kitchen, so as I was getting up to go do said task, I had my phone in my hand and was finishing texting someone. Not wanting to take my phone in the kitchen, I attempted to throw it over the couch, over the vase of flowers, and at Landon so he would catch it. I failed, however, and my throw ended up being too short. It hit the vase, not knocking it over or breaking it, but just knocking some petals off of the already half-dead flowers. My father, witnessing the whole shabang, proceeded to call me an idiot for doing this. As I followed him into the kitchen, he yelled at me even more for being so stupid and giving me the if-that-vase-had-broken-you-would-have-to-buy-your-mother-a-new-one routine. As I was in the kitchen doing whatever he asked me to do before, he muttered 'jerk' under his breath and crashed the pots and pans and such around while making dinner. Is this small accident worth this large outcome? I do not think so. I do not think so one bit.

I know EXACTLY how you mean.. My dad gets mad at me for everything.. Like.. I left a pan in the sink soaking cause it was tough to clean and he gets mad. My mom went away for the weekend leaving my dad and I here (it was easier when my brother was around) and My dad said that if I left the kitchen clean everyday i could get gas money. and I did, and he never gave me the gas money. so now my car has a quarter of a tank to last me. fml. xD
ReplyDeleteAwe. That sucks. The problem is it's mostly my mother overreacting to things. I think he was just agitated because my mother has a bad back and is sick with bronchitis or something at the minute and can't really do much and was just sitting on the computer all day doing nothing much of anything so he had to do the dinner and everything. So he pretty much just took his anger out on me I guess.
ReplyDeleteDang!! My dad used to always get mad at my brother for everything. And then since my brother moved out last Feb. Now it's my turn. XD
