HOLY FUCK does she do a ton of things that piss me off.[/i] The biggest thing that annoys me right now about my mom is that she feels the need to yell at our pets about anything. Dogs get underfoot? She yells. Cats get in the way, get on furniture they're not supposed to be on, etc? She yells. She'll yell and scream and pitch a fit and terrify the animals to no end. We're currently puppysitting for my friend who rescued a dog from the pound. He's got some anxiety and nervousness issues, most likely stemming from being abandoned and past abuse. We've discovered yelling is not good for Percy, since he has the tendency to make messes (peeing) when you start yelling. And what does my mom do? Fucking yell at him when he makes a mistake. I had to listen to her yell and scream for a good 20 minutes this morning because first he was on her chair and then he made a mess after being yelled at.
- Exhibit A;
[/li][li]Exhibit B; And after mentioning that damn chair...I HATE THAT DAMN CHAIR. My mom has this arm chair that is pretty much "her's". If you sit in it, she's hovering over you until you feel so uncomfortable that you move so she can sit in it. Once she's in it, don't bother thinking she's going to do squat. She'll sit in that chair and sleep the whole damn day away if you let her. I understand she works full time, but her job at the bank is not THAT stressful. She'll come home after working from 8:30-5:30, sit in that chair, and not move unless prompted to do something like oh, I don't know...make dinner. Which even then she'll half-ass just to stay in her chair. Nothing gets done unless I'm home or my dad gets so tired of it, he does whatever needs to get done despite the fact he's always worn out from his 2 jobs.
[/li][li]Exhibit C;[/i] I don't know if it's a byproduct of that chair or what, but my mother is 50 shades of lazy. If there's cleaning to be done, I almost always end up doing it on my own because she's "tired" or busy paying imaginary bills in the back of the house, when she's really on Facebook. For fuck's sake, she's on Facebook more than I am! If I'm not home to clean the house and clean up behind her when she cooks, then it's left all to my poor dad who works 2 jobs just to help keep them afloat.
[/li][li]Exhibit D;[/i] The last thing I'll bitch about, but there's definitely more...My mom not only has a shopping addiction but a hoarding problem. Her shopping problem is part of the reason why my dad is forced to keep 2 jobs on top of his military retirement pay. She'll buy shit because she can, and then lament about how tight things have to be money wise towards the end of the month. She used to take the money I was getting from the government for surviving outside of school and spend 90% of it, leaving me enough money for maybe gas and a night out for the month, and then get on my case about not making my payments to the school on time. She still takes money out of my account to make sure she and my dad can scrape by until they get paid again. That I can understand, but can you at least pay me back?! That money is meant for me to survive on, not for you to spend when you fucking feel like it. She gets on my case about finding something part-time, which I'd like to do, and then complains about how I have to leave her in 2 months. And then the hoarding. Dear lord this woman has clothes from the 80s still! She used to hoard clothes that I wore when I was like 8-12. Not cute baby stuff that makes sense, but clothes that had no sentimental value at all. Broken stuff? She has it. Magazines galore because there are "useful" recipes in them that she'll never make in her lifetime. Useless baubles that end up staying in their packaging, never to be seen by guests. You think of it, she has it. If it wasn't for my dad, I'm pretty sure their house would be overflowing with stuff. I hate coming home and tripping over all the stuff she feels like she needs.
