Tradition

Every year I get older my parents begin to act up like a bunch of animals in heat. This tradition started last year when I turned twenty. This year I turn twenty one and I feel a big climax on its way. They usually start out complaining about miniscule issues such as why I didn't brush my daughter's hair and end with a big finish by blaming everyone else around me for the reason why for everything I do. It's starting to get annoying and not too long ago I had a showdown with my mom when I asked her why she was so goddamn rude.

Last year they castrated me of my freedom by cutting off my financial resources. Imagine having to pay off $4000 of student loans in 6 months working only 3 days a week and supporting my child and I. They had my balls on a plate and feasted on it while I was pinching pennies. Even with that, I still proved that there wasn't anything they could do to stop me. I'm a fucking fighter. Still, I'm anxious to see what they have in store for me this year because they are starting to pre-game with just a week and a half to my birthday. I'm not saying I know everything because that's impossible but I do know that this year the gloves are off.

This year I'm pushing back because sometimes, family isn't everything.
