So if someone were to say to you: "I've got to consult your mother about it; I will talk to you tonight when I get home." what would that mean to you?
I mean, seriously?
Since when does a parent saying "I will talk to you." mean that you, as the child, have to go and strike up conversation with them about it.
Granted you, the child, are the reason that this conversation between your parents is even being had. Because it is about you asking to go out for something.
But, on previous and most recent occasions, I have been told what was going down.
Excuse me for assuming the pattern would continue.
I based my actions on previous experience.
Granted, there have been some occasions when I have had to go confront my parents about an event.
But there have also been occasions where I have asked if they have decided upon an answer yet and I get jumped upon for asking and being too overeager.
"I haven't even discussed it with your mother yet! I'll discuss it on my own time! Back off or you won't go at all!"
I thought about striking up the conversation with my father, but at the time he didn't seem to be in an exceedingly pleasant mood.
I decided that that may not have been the best time and I assumed that my father would tell us before he retired to his room, like he always does.
Yet again, pardon me for assuming this wasn't going to change on the one night I was counting on it being constant.
And then I was informed by my dear mother that some sort of a "bell" should have gone off in my head.
"When your father is in a bad mood, he doesn't tell anyone when he's going to bed! You know that! Duhh June."
Thanks Mom, thanks.
And I don't particularly like metaphors when I'm trying to express my opinion on a matter that the opposing party could care less about.
Ah, well. I should really learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes.
It gets me into a good bit of trouble.
"Next time, June. Just make your point. Listen to what they have to say and walk away."
So I'm not supposed to defend my opinion at all?
I'm not even trying to impose the belief of my opinion on anyone.
But simply the understanding and respect of it.
Ah well. I lost this battle. I'll probably lose the war too.
But hey, I'm a minor living in my parent's house off of my parent's income. What's a teenage girl to do?
I'm so often misunderstood. Or more often than not, I'm assumed to be doing things just to be disobedient and disrespectful. I mean, really? Why would I waste my precious time trying to spite someone who has such authority over me?
Come on...



Also.
Another point.
I do not think you can really spend too much time with someone.
It's not like I'm neglecting the other people in my life.
And being in a group setting with someone and being in a one on one setting with someone is totally and completely different.
Just sayin'.
