we officially got the new apartment on saturday. mike had to go upstate for his dad's birthday party at 5 so i had to carry the housewares crud we bought home and go pick up the keys without him. i called him to let him know and he said to wait for him to come and measure etc... okay. prepare for a long rant. i am beyond sick of mike's parents. they plan a birthday party for his dad on saturday, upstate. in the middle of the day. when they know we are busy. and they don't tell us about it until, oh, i don't know... 3 days before it. and then basically make it to where mike has to go there or he won't be able buy a car this month. they have move straight passed guilt trips to black mail. so mike has to leave at about 3:30 to get up there by 5. he then gets there and there is nothing ready to go. he actually goes grocery shopping, buys food, and comes back and prepares it. so why did he have to be there at 5? apparently to make dinner. he thought he was only going to be gone for a couple of hours so i call at 9 when i still hadn't heard from him and he says they are still eating. i ask if he still wants me to wait to do stuff at the new place and he says he does. so i go back to waiting. he calls like 30 minutes later and says he is getting a ride back with sharon and eric. so he gets home at about 5 to 11 and we still haven't measured anything at the new place or done really any moving in. anywho. i was livid when he said he got there and had to buy and make the dinner. at least now i know where he gets his ability to totally ignore the needs of others. at least he is only half as bad as his freaking parents. i think moving 3,000 miles away from them may be the best thing he has ever done. and the rant continues.... mike can't afford school. i am having a really hard time with this. he is borrowing upwards of fifty thousand dollars in student loans and about 50 from his family. i find that to be stupid and ridiculous. it's like he's lost his mind. his parents keep saying that he doesn't need to worry about paying them back. but i think they will hold this over his head until they die. they are already using it to guilt him and he hasn't gotten any money yet. i am not from the kind of family where parents hand out 50 grand and i think after you hit about age 18 you really shouldn't take things from your parents. i could see doing it if you needed it or they were helping with college etc... but mike doesn't need it and his parents already paid for college. he is also 34 freaking years old. grow the hell up. i wish that i could be happy for mike since he is doing all these things he seems to be excited about. but i'm not. i feel like he isn't thinking clearly at all. i'm not even proud of him. and i have to say, i have lost a lot of respect for him. which is all too bad i guess. maybe his parents will buy him some respect later. i'm sure he'd be fine with that. |
