nakakairita ang mga parents na humihingi ng kapalit
I’m 17. I have a 2-year-old half-sister, and another one on the way. What gets me irritated is when my dad immediately jumps to talking about my future and sinasabi niya na when I’m older, I’ll be the one paying for my siblings’ schooling aka tuition.
Bullshit.
I’m supposed to go through college, work hard for my degree, get a job, just so I can pay for my siblings’ tuition? Ang lala. I know it’s normal in the Philippines and in other places to help family financially, but I don’t want to spend years working hard just to spend my money on something that doesn’t benefit me. And yes, call me selfish for saying that paying for my siblings’ schooling isn’t beneficial to me.
Nakakapalan lang ako ng mukha sa fact that my father emphasizes how we works hard to pay for my tuition so dapat daw kapag naging successful na ako, ako na raw ang babayad sa tuition ng kapatid(s) ko. Hello? FYI, 38 years old palang siya, and 2 years old palang yung kapatid ko. Marami pang years. What’s also annoying is that agree lang naman nang agree ang step-mother. Na para bang walang sariling opinyon. Obviously as a teenager I know that feelings are a lot and I must be misdirecting my anger but obviously ikaw ba naman bigyan ng responsibilidad that’s not meant for you.
Also I stay mostly sa house ng mother ko, so hindi naman ako nakakadevelop ng deep relationship with my sister. Mas close ko pa nga ang mga pinsan ko e. Also, I hope no one finds this offensive, pero half-sibling ko lang naman. Alam ko naman na kapatid ko pa rin siya and I love her, I just don’t feel deeply connected to her. I think it’s because mag kapatid kami through our father and hindi rin maayos relationship ko with him (may pagka one-sided haha) and I feel like iba rin talaga pag iba kayo ng ina. Ewan, baka sa akin lang, or baka I still have to mature.
