The thing that upsets isn't that theyre working all the time, because I know life is hard and the money isn't always there.. what upsets me is my dad has time and money to spend on things he wants, like his racecar, and the new computer he just bought for himself, all the projects he's been doing outside, building more and more garages for himself.. right now we have one normal garage, one double garage, and another garage is underway.. I don't know why he feels we need so many.
He's even said to me before "Don't tell your mother, but I have a whole lot more money than what she knows about." .. I was torn. Cause I felt like my dad and I were finally getting closer, but at the same time our family is struggling with money (even if they never let on that we are, i know money is tight) ..but my mom worries about this soo much,and he appearntly has all this extra cash that he spends on stuff for himself, when we need it for food and clothes and other things...And it turned out he was only being nice to me because he was happy that my brother hasn't been home much. -My mom even told me that..
& we're talking about the same person who wrecked his car (by driving too fast, like always) and then used the money that was saved for me for college to buy a new one.. and acts like it's no big deal.
I'm sorry.. I'm just kind of venting now..
