So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Thoughtful. Sunday, June 15, 2008 @ 9:34 am So these last few days have been hard on me. I still wanted to get something for my dad for Father's Day, so I went to his favorite bakery and ordered a small cake that we as a family could enjoy together. Today, I told my mom I had to pick up the cake. She said, quite point-blank, "You should have gotten him a shirt. He loves shirts. It's always you, you, you. You always think about yourself." Fucking, what? Look, if I had time to go out and buy a fucking shirt from Macy's I would have. But when in the last few days would I have had time to do that? At least I got him SOMETHING, and even if I DIDN'T get him anything, why does that necessarily imply that I love him any less, or that I'm acting selfishly and thinking of myself? Also, I thought it would be nice to sit down and enjoy the cake together as a family. I guess I'm only thinking about myself when I want to create some meaningful family time. Geez, I'm so fucking sorry. I'm sorry for acting selfishly. Sometimes, I don't know why I even bother to even THINK about doing something nice because it only invites criticism. If you want to REALLY see what selfish is, keep alienating me and see what happens when I can't make the flight home to visit you in the hospital when you're old and dying... Except I can't do that. I'm not equipped to do that. I'm not that cruel. I'm not capable of exhibiting that level of selfishness. And that's why it hurts so much when she says stuff like that. I mean, I will be the first to admit that I'm not an entirely selfless person, but on a list of my personality traits, I don't think "selfish" would even rank. Waking up was the worst idea I have ever had. 3 Comments. gosh! what's wrong with eating cake? what's wrong with getting cake for your dad? parents are weird! » Nuttz on 2008-06-15 10:18:12 I remember you bringing up some time ago about how you were never good enough for you parents, or something in a similar vein. This almost seems like its built-up resentment that you were never "good enough" for their crazy standards. I say "they" because it's more general...but does is your dad like this too? I'm sure he had nothing bad to say about his cake *knock on wood* » The-Muffin-Man on 2008-06-16 03:08:08 that is why i dislike people criticizing my presents to them because everytime i go present hunting ... i take into account the advantages before buying them. and i don't take one day or few hours to think but more than one week and sometimes months. » renaye on 2008-06-16 10:57:38
