Typical...
living with one's parents has its perks. financially the burden is less. one's mother cooks...
...
well that's about it.
having lived alone for the past 3 or more years has made living with my parents rather an uncomfortable affair. this is especially so with my father.
for the umpteenth time, i am treated like a 5 year old. i shall not expound on this.
for the umpteenth time, he disses and dismisses me for being incompetent. well, i will get him to read this blog and see if understands it. talking about incompetent.
the thing is, i have never heard a word of praise from him. there have been some but there hasnt been many. i am not seeking praise, approval, far from it. but something is sure to be wrong when disses and dismissals, hurtful and insensitive remarks are hurled at you far outweigh the good ones (if there are any).
i mean blame me for being too sensitive but can any one blame me for being so when it comes to being a blood relative.
i ponder and often boomerang this question; what have i done in my existence as your offspring to deserve such a treatment?
one of his top of the charts, Billboard top 100, that has probably been sitting on the top five list of comments is 'Just a Degree Holder in name... incapable of doing so and so things....'
Those things vary from menial task such as setting up the DVD player to fixing the bathroom door. usually when he starts his ramblings i would stop work.
his beliefs are in my capabilities are cast in stone.
i am incapable of:
- cooking for oneself (then how did i live for the past 3 years)
- independence (then what have i been doing for the past 3 years)
- intelligence (perhaps subjective but anyone should have some form of it to reach a certain level in education)
Maybe i have been seeking his approval all these while, perhaps it is time to stop.
