Once Again, My Trust Is Shaken

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! I swear to fricken’ God, I hate parents sometimes, and Mike’s family is severely waning on my “likeable” list. I’m honestly liking less and less of his family with each year!!

Okay, see, Joey was supposed to come over on Tuesday, and stay till Wednesday because we were gonna go to a carnival that I thought was on till Tuesday night. So, it turns out I was wrong, and with Nana going into the hospital and all, we switched it to Wednesday to Thursday. So, he came down Wednesday afternoon before I went to work, spent some time with both of us then, I went to work, then when I got off, Mike had a computer thingy he was doing at someone’s house, and went there, and I hung out with Joey. We got Chinese, and I showed him the water front, and nearby beach. I have a story about that, but I’ll leave it for when I’m not so pissed off.

So, today was basically cool. We went to Game Factory, hung out, etc., and then we left around eight, went to the pizza place, and actually played a game of Encore outside, because the TV in the pizza place would have been too much of a distraction. So, then, Sahnnon and I wanted to do a one on one, and I said that Mike, Joey, and Denny should go back to the house, and we’d be there soon, and then I’d drive Joey home.

Well, about a third of the way through the game, Joey comes back, saying that we had to leave, because his parents were really pissed that he wasn’t home yet. It was about nine-thirty then, a bit later than I thought, but still. Basically, he’s saying that his parents are so angry, they’d ground him for life blah, blah, blah. I admit, I wished that he would just stop fricken’ panicking because it was only making things worse. But we went back to my house, and were about to leave, when my mom said that his dad had called, and that he was on his way here.

So, and this is what pisses me off, we’re waiting out on the driveway to talk to them to see if we can smooth things over and explain things to them, and when they got here, they didn’t even bother to listen to a word we were saying. They just steam rolled, especially his father, saying how Joey should have called, and we were just irresponsible, and something else, possibly immature, I’m not sure. But I said after that that Game Factory was a dead zone for cell phones, so how was he supposed to call, and he said he didn’t care, and had the nerve to ask me not only “how old I was,” but also if I “knew what responsibility was.”

Oh, I see. So Mike and myself were the completely irresponsible ones for not having him home at such and such time, but they were showing complete responsibility/respect/maturity by swooping in and yelling at us like that? Excuse me, I DON’T THINK SO!!!! That was petty, selfish, and stupid of them to not even listen to what we had to say. Yes, they had every right to be angry, and yes, they had every right to be worried, but they did NOT have ANY right to do what they did and disrespect Mike and myself like that.

You do NOT come to my house and treat me like that. You just don’t. Not to mention that one of the things that got me most was his mom saying that “he’s just 16.” Yes, I understand he’s younger than us, but WHAT the fricken’ HELL??? It’s fricken’ JULY!!! It’s SUMMER, where who cares if you’re up late, it’s not like there’s school the next morning!

God… The ONLY other parent that I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with who wouldn’t even listen to an explanation is Jason’s fuckin’ psychotic bitch of a mother.

“Do I know what responsibility is?” How dare he ask me that? HOW fuckin’ DARE he?!?!?!

God, I swear, I am so pissed of right now. Like I said, I’m liking Mike’s family members less and less. I never would have pegged them for people who would fly off the handle for a matter of an inability to call, and for half an hour’s lateness! Goddamnit, that was just entirely selfish of them. Especially since Joey fricken’ talked to them this morning!

::Sighs:: Not only am I angry, though, I’m worried about Joey. About what’s gonna happen to him in all this. Because one of the things that he said was that he “could guarantee he couldn’t see us for a long, long time.” I’d asked if his parents were honestly that petty to separate him from his two best friends for so long over getting home late, and he said yes. Well, now I believe they could be that petty, because they certainly proved to be not only petty, but selfish, and unreasonable tonight!

This is no fault to Joey, and I hate that he’ll suffer for this, but when and if this does get smoothed over, I won’t go up there. Not for awhile, anyway. I’m just not going to feel comfortable around them for a long time, especially on the off chance that specifically his father doesn’t give an apology for what he said. Because like I said, not only do I not like what he said to not only me, but Mike about being irresponsible, it once again goes back to the simple fact that you do NOT come to someone’s house and disrespect them like that, angry or not.

Ugh… I don’t know. I guess I’ll feel better about this later, but you know what? I’ve ut up with enough sh*t like that from other parents. My own, Jason’s psycho bitch mother, and a couple others. Frankly, I thought that the people in Mike’s family would be above such obvious disrespect, pettiness, and selfishness.

I guess, once again, having faith in anyone with the last name Vroom, (Joey notwithstanding,) is a mistake.
