Family and friends are so overrated!
I go out of my way to help, do what is asked of me and 'be there' for them...but the moment I need anything, they are otherwise 'busy' with friends, games, doing their own thing and I must resort to guilt, emotional blackmail and finally, financial bribes for them to reciprocate. The moment I say; 'screw you, that's the last favour I ever do for you because I am sick of being used', I am no longer their friend/mother/daughter etc.
I just drove around a carpark for an hour looking for a parking space while my daughter went shopping and all I asked of her was to buy me a sandwich and a cup of coffee...she's like "I am trying to save my money for my car rego" and I was like "what are you doing buying DVDs and video games then?...no wai...screw this..I'm going home, you know where the train station is...you can either spend money on my lunch, train fare or petrol for my car, your choice. Nobody gets stuff for nothing.." She's like fine! if you want lunch, I'll buy it" *slams car door*.
My mum thinks I should 'divorce' my daughter (she hates her), then again, she's just as bad...I'm thinking about telling them all where to go, because I can get a total stranger to do the same favour for me, costing a lot less than what my friends/family charge for their 'services'. I hate this...
