I just got home from work 2 hours ago, and today was AWFUL. School is OK, the first few hours of work were OK, till my mom snapped because of my dad and I. I called my friend Daniel and Jenny as soon as I got home. They made it sound like I was at fault, saying I do have a bit of an attitude. It's like they weren't listening to me, it felt like everyone was againest me.
This is really long, so I'm sorry to those who is actually going to read this! Dx
So, what happenend is, my mom and dad decided to switch roles for a bit. For fun? I guess. My mom was cooking and my dad would wait on people with me outside. My dad is really only good at cooking, he's not meant to be a waiter! I was taking a to-go order on the phone, and I could just barely hear the guy's voice. When I asked for his name, I couldn't here it the first time, and had to ask 2 more times. I made sure and said "Is that your name? Are you sure?" and he said yes, it's my name.
So, the person arrives and there are about 3 to-go orders on the counter. I was doing something else, so my dad handled it. My mom comes out since my dad needs help and she has no idea which order is the customer's. My dad points to one of them saying it's their's when it wasn't. It was actually the to-go order I wrote down, and I got the name wrong. My mom blew up and I told her I couldn't hear him and that I made sure it was his name and everything, because the person on the phone was a dude, the person who picked it up was a lady. My mom and dad go at it for a bit, and I ask her for help on an order, she gets blows up again. Then, she finally says, "You know what, what's the point of you being here? You don't have to do anything, don't even come to work next week. Go sit wherever, I don't care, just get outta my face. Go, go! I don't need your help."
I leave and just played on the laptop until work is over, and at the very end of the day, my aunt says, "Bye Melinda, see you next week." I say, "Maybe." and my aunt says "Nooo, of course I'll see you! You want to get paid, don't you?" I mumble that I could care less, push in my chair and wait for everyone else to be ready to leave. My mom thinks I'm giving her an attititude. The only reason I said maybe was because she said she didn't want me to come to work at all next week! I wasn't angry at the time, just a bit irritated and I just brushed it off. She thought differently though, and said, "You know what? Stop giving your damn bad attitude. You know how hard I work? You know how hard I work to support your damn ass? (something here, I was kinda tuning her out through my music. xP) I don't care what you do anymore, do whatever the f*ck you want. It's your life, I'm not gonna say anything anymore."
I'm surprised I didn't go all out and yell at her. The whole day, I didn't say anything disrespectful to her, I just nodded when she yelled at me and didn't talk back, cause I knew that would make it worse. I'm really stressed right now, and I try really hard to tolerate my mom. It's hard to live with her and hard to work with her. I cried when I was talking to my friends about it, since it felt like they were siding with my mom, I promised myself I wouldn't cry too! Ahhh... I'm so tierd... Dx
