I don't get it.

Posted by Soupcat - July 22nd, 2007


Let me start by saying sorry for the late update. It kinda slipped my mind.

Rant start, scroll down for some more generalized philosophy
But, I just got into some sort of an argument with my mother, and I don't know if I'm feeling guilty or pissed of.
She is right in a way, but I don't know if I care about it.

I've had my speculations that mothers, well parents in general, are jalous.
Jalous of the fact that youth can waste their life by doing nothing important, and "sleep" their lives away.
But a talk with an elder made me think otherwise.

All the comments I get from my mother point out that she is indeed jalous. The fact that I don't have a job, sit infront of the computer and TV an entire day, don't do anything meaningfull with my life etc. while she has to work hard, has stress everyday and can't sleep out, wich I can.
Untill recently that sounded like the only logicall explanation. But a grandmother told that it's the fact that life speeds up when you get older and she sees me waisting my life wich makes her go crazy and forces me in doing something with my life.

Anyway, I'm sitting her, writing this in Word because she unplugged the cable, and I'm thinking, Is she right? Or should I not care? And I honestly don't know.
It's true, I don't do much for my little sister, but I'm tired of playing her father because I don't know how to.
I don't know how to entertain her 24/7, how to tell her she's doing something wrong (And I don't even know when she IS doing something wrong), or explain things to my mother when she made a mess. Because according to her, I need to watch out for my sister and not vice versa, and she never does anything wrong, because I'm responsible for her.
See what I mean?

I'm sick of being the helping hand in the house, I suck at it, I don't know how to do it, and I don't want to do it.
I want to be the irresponsible teenager who has nohing to worry about. Like all the rest of the younglings.

Rant over, start of philosophy
I think there is a certain point in life, where you forget about your youth days, and actually become and adult. Because the way I see my mother raising me is good, but sometimes I think "What the hell, did you forget about how it was when you where young?"
I think I mentioned her youth once, and then I got some reply about me changing the subject, and that that's not the point etc.
I could be wrong though.
Adults are strange in my opinion. The role models I have around me (family) aren't really what I wish to grow up in. They are greedy, selfish, and ignorant. Even stupid at times.
There are always movies, cartoons or stories in general about the fact that kids could rule the world better. Now, I personally don't buy that idea. Children lack the responsibility and life experience to actually be world leaders, they are too childish and playfull.
Think of it like this: "The moment a child replaces a President, it will be a world of chocolate"
Silly example, yes. But it shows my point better then anything. Don't take it too litterly 'kay?
But I do believe in the fact that kids aren't messed up by our current society. Their minds aren't filled with greedy thoughts, or consumed by the concept of money.
Which we all know ruined everything in our modern community.
Kids are quite pure and innocent. Cliché, but true.

I have nothing more to add.
Goodday, and as always, first five to comment get a comment on their blog.

Kids are not the future.

They are here, and they are the people of today.

TAKE KIDS SRSLY.

SRSLY.

You got it wrong.

They're here, and they're queer.

THX FO THA COMMENT PLZZZ!

Oh, and kids are fucking spoiled these days, always get what they want.
Srsly.

I actually thnik the youth is about doing what YOU want, not trying to be active all the time. Sure, once in a while, do something new.

Your life will quickly be dull and pointless if it is spend infront of a monitor.

You might be right about that, but the fact that I have someone complaining 24/7 about me spending too much time infront of mentioned monitor, motivates me actually.

I personally like spending my time here, I go outside yes, I have a social life etc. But it's the fact that I don't really take part in society at this age wich bothers my elder.

And if it's about what I want, then why is my mother constantly telling me I'm not doing it right?

i've often had philosophical thoughts after an overly stressful moment involving my parents before too. i know how you feel and all that i can offer is the element of hope

Really appreciated ^_^
That's more then I needed.

Bu this was actually written after I calmed myself, and animated a bit to get a grip of myself.

But I like your name. I fucking do.

Man, you're a great writer. Tbh, I know what you mean, I kept being told to get a job, and when I get one, they say it stresses them out to much. They know want me to quit the job. So what was the problem?! Try to talk to your parents about it. If it fails, there's always Childline..

..wow...a great writer? Really? Thx =D

But, what the fuck? You get a job and then they complain? Well, it's not very realistic to talk about it with my mother or call childline, because she's right you know. I'm a lazy ass who doesn't really do anything meaningfull.
So, I'm just stuck with the comments of my mom until I get a job.

Meh, I like being lazy, and I'm not going to change that for her. Seriously, I don't fucking care, I'm 16 and Ido what ever the fuck I want.

Of course parents are jelous, its what they are put on the Earth to do, silly.

Let me start by saying that I think your grandmother is right.
And I think we all want to be the irresponsible teenager, with nothing to worry about besides sleeping, eating, and having fun. Responsibility sucks, that's the bottom line. Once you get a job, it all goes downhill from there. Applying to college? Another level higher on the suckometer. At around 17, you stop being able to sit around and do nothing (at least I have) and are forced to get yourself together. I'm guessing (hoping, really) that a year from now, my life will be in order and I'll be able to relax a bit, but for now I've got to worry about making it through another day of work, applying to colleges, figuring out what I want to do with my life, making time to be with my girlfriend, and fixing my computer (my hard drive melted down, so I lost /everything/. 5 years gone, which bites.)
Anyway, figured I might as well leave a short rant, as much to get it off my chest as to let you know that everyone has responsibilities (well, not everyone. Freaking preps.) and, eventually, everyone grows up.
But what do I know? I'm only 17. According to everyone I know, I'm not old enough to know anything yet. Whatever.
It's 12:30 am and I've gotta get up in 4 hours, I'm out. Good luck with everything.

Good that you let it out.

Bad that that is what I'm gonna have in the future.
