Im going to camp in about 2 weeks and there's no laundry so I need enough clothes to last me. And being that my wardrobe consists of about 3 pairs of pants and 5 shirts...i need a little more. So my mom's taken me shopping a lot and she bought me loads of stuff. Which is nice in all but i feel like that money could be going towards some more important things...
A few months ago my dad got laid off and he had tried out a job and then quit because he didn't like how it was going. My mom hasn't been getting any income lately because she's an interior designer and the recession isn't really allowing anyone to buy new properties, never mind get them professionally decorated. It's pretty scary when you see envelopes all over your house from the unemployment agencies, and final notices on electric bills.
But about 4 weeks ago I overheard conversations about my dad getting a great new job with a life insurance company. And I figure, hey, as long as people are alive they'll be buying life insurance, so i think we're all set.
But no.
I'm getting a pair of really nice headphones for my birthday in August, but my current pair broke the other day so I asked if I could get an 'advance' on my birthday gift so I would have headphones for camp and I was accused of "pushing".
I figured out why today. Turns out my dad doesn't actually have the job yet. He's training. Which means no income. Which means there's been no income for around 4 months now.
And my mom is shopping and getting pedicures and manicures...I don't understand. She won't buy me a pair of $7o dollar headphones but yet she'll go to J. Crew and spend any amount of money while we have no income. It's just plain irresponsible of her to act that way when we're in the situation we are in financially. She's just addicted to stuff. It's disgusting.
I hate her
