9/30/2006 - Hurt feelings
Posted in Daily Life
Earlier today I went out with my sister. I love my sister very much but she really hurt my feelings. I understand that I have only been driving for a year and 1 month but I do know how to drive. I was driving to a few places and all she was doing was telling me how to drive. I felt so stupid. I know my sister is only telling me what to do because she has driven longer...but I know how to drive and I can do well without having them bitch at me. When we got to Target I was really unhappy because I pulled into a parking space and I was not close enough to the curb. I was unhappy because if I get too close to the curb I am afraid that I might hit it like the one time I did with the van and Daddy had to back out for me. My mom also hurt my feelings by saying I am not consistent with my chores. I do my best. I am so busy and everyone can't understand that with school, my tax course, and trying to lose weight that it is difficult. However, if they feel I am not being consistent I will do chores for the hell of it and prove that I can be. *sighs* Anyway talk later.

Blessings!

Please do not feel bad, your sister suffers from backseat driver syndrome, lol and just do what I do with my mom let it go in one ear and out the other or turn the car stereo so loud it drowns them out, lol. My mom even to this day, tells me how to drive and the funny part is i'm a far better driver than she is. My mom is what you call a paranoid driver to her if you drive faster than 35 mph its dangerous...I simply give my mom my lol Betty Davis eyes and I say what Betty Davis said in the movie "All About Eve"... "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy ride." then I put the petal to the metal and that pretty much shuts her up lol. Maybe it will work on your sister.
Now, as for mom and her getting on you about the chores try this get all your props, by that i mean all items relating to your tax course, your weight and college put them in front of her and explain the hard work involved with love and affection yet firm and assertiveness, tie your argument into the time factor, meaning that you have a finite amount of time to accomplish these things and that your mom needs to compromise in what she expects you to accomplish in your chores, if she refuses, then try leverage that if she cannot appreciate what you do accomplish that as difficult as it may be for you, that you will have no alternative but to move out and she will lose what chores you do accomplish for her.
That may be somewhat harsh I know but there comes a time in life that parents have to respect the fact that their children do grow up become adults with adult responsibilities and that your time becomes limited its time mom sees you as an adult and not just "her" daughter, anyway sweetheart I say this with great respect, and not in any way to offend but just to help and try to make your life a little easier if i can.((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Serenity, Love and Blessings)))))))))))))))))))))))
All my love,
Heather

Send her over her. I'll drive her around for twenty minutes. She will never criticize your driving again! I hate driving. There's just too much that can go wrong. My mind doesn't work like that.
