At the weekend I had a 'rough' talk with my parents. I have told them that they made me feel pitiful and bad about myself. And that I did not like that.
Earlier that day Dad said that he sees his children (i.e. me and bro) as demagogues and loafers. It hurt a little bit. I may seem like that when I come to their place, because they have that sleepy atmosphere at weekends, but damn it, I work pretty hard.
Plus it made me sick to see them act the way that they had been teaching us not to. It's like seeing your teacher make mistakes that he himself had told you were unacceptable.
And I was devastated to see them not care about each other. I have realised that we actually do not care whether we make each other happy. Like feeding the granny's cat - it was always the lowest priority, but damn why not do this if granny asked us and she would feel more comfortable if we do feed the cat.
Anyway, after the talk I took my bro and we left, saying something like: "let's get out of here asap'.
The next day dad called and said sorry, so did I.
It's just that lately it does not feel like home at my parents' place.
