Day 3-What can I say? I love them. Although I did cringe writing them. I know I love my mom. My mother is this wonderful, considerate, selfless, nurturing, positive, intelligent creature. She spends her time taking care of other people, not only because it's her job, but it's how she shows her love. She helps you with anything she feels like she can and I admire that. She's good with keeping in touch with friends even when they don't do the same with her. And honestly she does show her care when it's one sided. She tries her hardest even when she doesn't get the same in return. She's sweet and expresses her love in many ways. Even though she's been through some hellish things. I'm pretty sure every time something goes wrong it only makes her stronger, and that is such a wonderful thing.
My father on the other hand, I share my personality in common with. That's probably why I dislike him. He's more reserved, has anxiety, is often depresso. That's the stuff we share in common. But you know, he doesn't seem to hesitate to insult his own children or other people who piss him off. He's defensive in any situation where he might feel attacked. He doesn't really give a shit about his kids, only that they do what they're told. He doesn't really talk with his children, and complains that they don't love him to the only person who does. Even though he's able to argue with her over petty garbage. He's 'cranky'-as my mom puts it- all the time. He complains about not being happy then he does nothing to change what bothers him. He thinks he's the smartest, and when he's proven wrong you get basically threatened. Sometimes not though, sometimes he just spits acid at you so he can feel still make you feel wrong. That's another thing he does, he threatens to take all your stuff away if you don't do what he wants. He doesn't ask for things just mumbles-which he gets onto his kids about- one word and expects you to know what he's talking about. He's rude, expects to be treated like the man when he doesn't do anything for anyone. One thing I love about him is the fact that when you go to the store with him he walks off without you and leaves you 20 feet behind him. I really like being left behind father. He puts up a pathetic act so you'll feel sorry for him and do things for him, which is manipulative. And in arguments he likes to make himself the victim, likes to make others look selfish, and barely does anything by himself. That was enough complaining. There are good things about my dad, I mean he is smart, he's interested in video games and even made his own, and he can be funny sometimes.
My parents have helped me to become who I am today, they've taught me things I don't want to become and things I do want to become, and I'm grateful for that.
