Frustrations...Pt. 2
Parent frustration #5
I'm pretty sure I know what I like in MY apartment, thank you very much. And guess what? You DON'T have to use newspaper to line kitchen drawers, you can use actual drawer-liner *gasp!*; "heavy" and powerful vaccuums will NOT pull the carpet off of the floor it's glued to; a couch that is "heavy" does NOT necessarily make a better couch; and, a chaise with no handles can STILL be comfortable. !@$##%$
Parent frustration #4
Direct quote: "I think by 27 or 28, we'll marry you off, because 30 is too late. You keep saying not before 30, but you won't be able to get married at 30." Apparently, babies must also come before 30, and my education and career are only minor bonuses to my resume of marriageability. I wonder if the whole baby-before-30 thing also includes the baby coming first?

Parent frustration #3
The ever-increasing need to outdo everyone in the ever-increasing extended family, including sisters and brothers. YOU DON’T LIVE HERE, but you want to buy a house? Within a 2-week period of search and seize? And when sense is talked into, pouting and bitchiness ensue...like it’s MY fault.
Parent frustration #2
Sick...ALL THE TIME. This hurts, that hurts, the Canadian food causes stomach cramps, the water here causes ulcers and the number of stairs in this country forces knee problems to recur. Next to me, I didn’t think it was possible for anyone to be as much of a hypochondriac.
Parent frustration #1
Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary to rag on everything I own, do, wear, say and think? So, you don’t like the toothpaste I buy, nor do you like the way I keep my kettle next to my coffeemaker next to my toaster, but you ALSO don’t like my apartment, my city, the people IN my city, or the way I live my life in my city. Thanks.....and why are you here again?
