Am I wrong?
One of my friends posted the following entry in her LJ:
I am so aggravated! I am sorry, I work! Jesus Christ! I really, truly believe that nobody seems to underfriggin’stand this fact. My friends have the chance and the energy at the end of the week to get together and hang out and goof off and yes, I would like to as well, but I don’t! I can’t! Finacially, I just can’t do it and energy wise, well, it’s a push somedays to get out of bed to go to work.I have my proities in my head and they go, (1) my life, (2) my future, and (3) my friends. So sorry guys that I don’t hang out that much. I understand that you all have kids, I don’t and not ready for them. And here’s another thing, I don’t see the point to getting wasted or drinking all of the time anymore. Not that I mind having a drink everynow and then, I enjoy a beer just as much as the next person, but I don’t need to have one in order to have a good time. I guess that part of growing up is finding these things out and yes, it sux, but I deal with it. And yes, I am a little jealous that I can’t be a "normal" 23 year old, but you know what, maybe seeing the ones I love struggle to make it in their lives teaches me that I don’t want that to happen to me. I don’t want to lose a job or have something happen and not have anything in the bank to fall back on. Been there, done that! I guess, that I’m overly responsible now and that’s boring, but I really wish people could understand that that’s just me and I’m growing up just like they are.
And my response was:
Oh its nice to know that you don’t think that your goddaughter is a prioity. Oh yeah and by the way it dosen’t cost any money to come hang out with your friends and visit your goddaughter. And Excuse me for wanting and having a beer last night. It was one beer. I hardly ever drink and I don’t get drunk all the time. I’m sorry My daughter has gotten in the way of our friendship. You haven’t been over much since I had the baby. You were around more when I was pregnent with her then you are now so I do have a right to be upset espesially since you are the godmother of my child. Oh and as far as a "normal" 23 year old what you think that I’m a normal 23 year old I have a 3 month old daughter that I raise by myself with the occaisnall help from my father. That is far from normal in my book. Oh and I’m sorry you just don’t have the energy to walk what 10 or 20 doors down to visit me and Kaylyn. I don’t go down there with her cause I never know your days off or I would. I know you work and heven forbid I don’t but you know what I dare you to try and be a single mother for one day and then tell me it’s easy just to go out and get a job again.
Oh and one more thing what about Cora you always say how much you love her and that you wish you could spend more time with her but yet you don’t have the energy to pick up a phone and call Mona to either come get you so you can play with Cora or to come over. And yes I did say that my daughter dosen’t know you that well and that is true and you know it. Cause you’re hardly around her. Yes I have a daughter that dosen’t change that I am me and that you are my friend and that I ejoy hanging out with you. You think that being a mom is easy well its not it takes up a lot of energy to be a mom as well so as far as I’m concered my job is being a mom and looking for a job that will actually pay me so I can provide for her so unless you have something worth yelling at me for then do it. Untill then I’ll be here.
So I just need some feedback am I wrong?
I had to leave a comment… the OCCASIONAL help from dad… yeah right… Constant help is more like it… But anyways, you have the right to feel that way, i would too.
