one of the things that pisses me off the most about my parents is their utter refusal to do little things for me

it really tells me something about how much they value my happiness when they wont take 5 minutes out of their day to accommodate for my wants or needs.

ex. i want to make cookies and or brownies. but its raining/dark out today. so i asked first my mom and then my dad if they could drive me to the store (which is only a few minutes away) so that i could pick up ingredients. they both said no because they are too tired/busy.

this wouldn’t be a problem except that they are ALWAYS tired/ busy. I literally CANNOT remember the last time one of them drove me somewhere when i asked. I understand that they cant always take me places but it just really pisses me off when they decide that their lives are SO FUCKING BUSY they cant take 5 minutes out of their day once in a fucking while to do something for me. 

its not like we’re living paycheck to paycheck and they’re struggling with multiple jobs. We’re a pretty average middle class family as far as income goes. they have NO reason to be so busy that me asking them to drive me to the supper market ONCE in like a fucking MONTH should be such a difficult thing for them.

but they are never going to take me to the supermarket because they will ALWAYS be able to find something that they’d rather do than do something for me.

i just feel like im not asking for a lot and i KNOW that it sounds dumb from an outside perspective but when you live your entire life with parents that constantly reaffirm that anything that you might want is dumb and unimportant you start to notice it. If i try to complain to my friends or family then i sound like im making a big deal over nothing but its not about the fucking super market.

its about the fact that my needs do not matter to them. and they never have.
