Why does this hurt so much?
Feb. 10th, 2008 04:00 pmI was going upstairs to get something to eat and do the dishes. Of course, dad doesn't know this, but still. I comment that it looks nice outside, because it does.
His reply is that we should haul in the rest of the wood before it snows again and finish off the pile in the front yard. I tell him to talk to my sister about it, since I asked her to do the wood hauling from now on, since I've done all of it for the last few years. Except one load daddy brought in from the shop, all the wood this winter has been brought in by me.
And he looks at me like I'm an idiot. His excuse is that she works all the time, as well as going to school. Right. I know that. She bitches about it all the time. But that doesn't mean she can't do something around the house. I do almost everything. I do the dishes. I feed and water the cats. I clean out the catbox every. single. night. I clean up extra cat puke and shit when I see it.
Literally, all she does around the house is occasionally putting the dishes away (usually after half of the clean ones have been dirtied again), her own laundry, and the occasional Hamburger Helper meal.
He actually says, "She does as much around the house as you."
FUCK YOU, DAD.
How does he not see the imbalance here? Even when I was in school full time I did most of the housework. And in the summer, I do all the yard work. She's never once mowed the damn lawn, and I do it every summer. Not as often as I should, I'm the first to admit, but I do it.
She doesn't even pick her own damn hair out of the drain.
And now he's going to haul in the rest of the wood in a snit rather than ask my sister to do it.
I'm trying not to feel guilty about it, but I do. And I know he's going to be mad at me for it, because he doesn't see everything I do.
I want to move out, but I don't want to leave my mom here with both of them, because she'll be the one doing everything, or the one bearing the brunt of their pissiness when she asks them to contribute.
Fucking Libra tendencies. I hate causing strife.
