Hi, I just had a question for everyone about the way my parents are acting. I have wanted a jet ski for years now (I know this sounds snobby but hang with me) and my parents always said no, but then a month or two ago they decided to get a small camper trailer for our car to go camping dispite us not needing one nor having a practical place to store it. It ended up being too heavy to tow with our van, so rather then sell it, they bought a brand new Toyota tundra. All of this was fine, but I asked them tonight if we could get a jet ski, it wasn’t obnoxiously expensive and I even promised to not do things like sailing club or a birthday party to get it, but they said no, and then when I asked why, they went on a rant about how much I cost and listed things I do and how much they cost like my school goes to Disney every two years and that costs like 2.5k, and I got to do Model UN trips that cost money and summer camp, etc. but they complain about all this to me and act like I should help pay for it or that I cost them too much money, and I don’t know what to do, cause I can’t get a job, and I don’t have money otherwise, and additionally my brother just went to a camp for example that costs half of my Disney trip but they never rant to him about costs of stuff, and they act like I am so much more expensive then him dispite me being in high school and him just going into middle school. Overall I could understand their point of view, but they also say their jobs are threatened, but they have been saying that for the past year and nothing has happened, and combined they make like 250,000 a year. I don’t know what to do and I feel really bad and angry and I wanted some advice/ a place to vent so any notes or advice?

Also I know I’m privileged and I’m probably just overreacting but I wanted to vent

Edit: I am probably just over reacting because I get so much and my parents are probably fine and I do live a good life so maybe just ignore

I am taking the Amtrak 40 train from Washington DC to Chicago and it is saying it is stopped outsides Petersburg VA due to mechanical issues. Any idea how long this usually takes? We have already been delayed 5:30+ and they refuse to offer any sort of compensation.
