coming home from school to you crying is a great way to ruin a perfectly good friday, don't you agree? throughout the 15 years i have been alive, i have only witnessed you cry three times: when my nana died, when you told me you wanted to leave him, and today. i really wish there was something i could do to make you better. today was like a harsh wake-up call. it made me realize that i shouldn't take you for granted like i do, because one of these days .. you're not going to be here anymore. i know i should be doing more and helping out so that things will be less stressful for you , but it's so hard. doing everything you asks is so hard. i don't understand why she can't pitch in and help. i'm getting so stressed out because you asks so much of me and i'm only a kid. i need to live my life and have my freedom. i don't mind giving you a break every now and then, but when it's a constant thing that keeps me away from my school work .. i just can't do it anymore. i know i sound like a selfish little brat, but i don't think it's fair that i'm the one who has to do everything. shouldn't he be doing stuff too? he's an adult. i'm the child. aren't parents supposed to care about their children, and encourage them to have time for their studies, not pile on the housework and still expect them to exceed in school. by the time i get home and do the long list of chores you give me, it's pretty much time for me to go to sleep. i know it's not your fault that your work level is very minimum now a days, but can't you spread it out and ask other people? why does it always have to be me? you always make me cancel my plans so that i can stay home and 'help out', but you never make her. she's always at her friends house, so i'm stuck cleaning and whatnot. you might not notice, but i'm CONSTANTLY doing her chores! it seriously makes me so mad. you used to always say that it's not fair how he favors her and likes her better than me , but now you're doing it too! anywaaaaays, you're my mom so i love you regardless. i need you to get better, quick. kthxbaai.
