Why, oh why do I always have to be the responsible one? I guess I could be irresponsible if I wanted to, I am sometimes irresponsible- but not in front of my parents. But I constantly feel the need to put on the responsible act for my parents because they’re always stressing out about my sister and her irresponsibility; a.k.a all the going out too much, “bad” grades, arguing with parents, frittering away with laptop disease etc.

What do I mean by the responsible act? On a day where my sister is being particularly difficult about doing homework or something (maths especially; which my mum is always nagging her to do) I get out my homework and start doing it. This isn’t particularly helpful I realise, now that I think about it, because it makes my sister look even worse, but it may possibly help ease the “pain” of my ever-worrying mum. TT”      (My dad just tries to keep out of it, I don’t blame him).

However, it MOST LIKELY worsens the problem. I mean, making the contrast between me and my sister bigger isn’t going to help at all- but I can’t just go around acting irresponsible so that my sister’s “image” with my parents isn’t completely ruined. If it isn’t already.

She has no idea how big the problem is.

If she would just be responsible again. Then I wouldn’t have to listen to my mum’s constant nagging of me to teach my sister Maths homework (concepts which my sister will never ATTEMPT to understand) or my mum’s complaining of how tired she is with my sister’s attitude as well as how worried she is.

I really try to be as patient as possible, listening to the complaints- secretly clenching my fists so that I don’t completely lose it. But a person can only stand so much. Now I know how others feel… well, one person in particular.

Don’t you just hate it when you parents ask you to teach them how to use the computer?? I know it is selfish of me to think that, but I know a lot of people have the same (or at least similar) opinions.

You should be VERY GRATEFUL if your mum or dad knows how to use the computer, even if they hog it. You should also be grateful if they want nothing to do with the computer.  ~Anything is better than teaching them to use it. They don’t know when or when not to use the buttons on the right or left of the mouse. Then you start to get frustrated, you try to keep your cool, but in the end it’s just too much and you start screaming at them, shrieking either of these things (or similar):

1. Learn it yourself!!!
2. Didn’t I tell you that before?? (they look at you confusedly, or *light bulb lights up*)
3. Ask someone else!!!! AHHH!!!

Unless it’s just me that has that problem.

That’s all for now.

I always dread it when my cousin comes over, the five year old one I mean…and it happened to be that she chose today, SATURDAY my only free day to torture me with her excessive talking and random questions..

Examples

* “I show you my lipstick in my bag.”

** “It doesn’t hurt.” (when she was putting on her clip-on earrings) while her ears were completely red; it really didn’t hurt!?!?

&&the most common question of all

*** “What is that?”

OK, i was getting out this puzzle game out to distract her so I could continue writing and blogging. It didn’t really stop  the river of words gushing out of her mouth. *grr* First she asked me where I got it. I told her it was a present. Then she asked me “Did you get it from Santa?” I know that a perfectly normal question for a five year old to ask, but still- It just went on and on and on… until she finally went home.

And that is the pain I have to endure until she has actual realises how annoying she is- which may be NEVER!

I wish I could pretend to ignore her, but that would just be SLACK. Especially to an innocent little kid…unless she actually knows that she is torturing me.
