Welcome to Gaia! ::

I really hate my dad and I don't like it when people are saying all good stuff about what hardworker and nice man he is he is nto a good man eh is a horrible father he is abusive its gotten to a point where I don't ever want to see him again I won't even let my children near him when I ahve them I hate him more thna anything I don't even think that i want a father in my childs life I coudl take care of them myself

@kyo: Eh, it happens. rolleyes Can't be helped lol.

@Status: Your dad is pretty damn old, my dad is only 40-uhh... something.. sweatdrop

I never did say it stopped you from helping others around you. 3nodding

yea I guess you didn't *she says this in a small voice*

Can't remember the ages of your parents exactly eh Toki? blaugh I have some of the same problems too, though its mainly recalling how old my grandparents are.

Kyo: Is your father really that bad? Does he abuse you, hit you for no reason? What about your mother? Couldn't she stop your father from hitting you too much?

rofl rofl

SO TRUE!! -high fives-

@ toki- well, sum ppl don't put their real ages on the internet...how often is it that you spend time with your family??

@minielf- lol,,,me too,,,nd i don't think my mom knows either....a few yrs ago(maybe 2),,,she told me my grandma was like 67 yrs old...but jus a few months ago,,,she told me she was 75...

You mentioned this before in a previous post... And I find that sad. Mainly because I've grown up the opposite. True, like you already know, I have my... differences with my parents, but after all these years of being close and reliant on them, it's difficult imagining life without them, having a life without the word "family" attached to my head. sweatdrop

In a sense, though it's kind of your fault, I mainly blame the parents for your relationship with them.... I'm so tired right now I can't be bothered to say why, but it's probably comprehensible, what I'm trying to say, right?? sad I'm so tired... Anyway, I can see why you barely spend/spent any time with your parents; many Chinese adults own takeaways, and many have their children help out. My dad's an accountant; the majority of his clients are Chinese who own takeaways, lol, so yeah.... I should know. I even do some of the accounts sometimes. xd So boring. Trust me, try not to become an accountant when you're older... My poor dad works his a** off... sweatdrop

Even though my dad and mum are both workaholics, like, my dad hasn't got a choice, my mum just works like hell.... They still spend time with me, and they value that time, I know. They're good at balancing both equations, and I am grateful for that, because it made me, me, and gave me a good childhood with supportive (but annoying and overprotective) parents. We don't often get to go to the cinema or go shopping together as a family anymore, cause with the exception of Ken, my lil' bro *hugs Ken*, we're all freaking tied up and darn busy every day. Well, Ken has loads of activities too, but still being in primary school and having his entrance exams over, he's pretty laid back right now... 3nodding We usually just make up for lost time during the summer hols, the easter hols and stuff... biggrin
