Am I an ass? (Long-ish read)

[West]

Hi Folks.

Just a small to Medium read here.

Last night (well tonight..) I was sat downstairs, I didnt crawl out of bed till 5pm because im on nights, there was naff all in the house, so I had to wait for my parents to come home with food. My dad rang me to ask what Pie I wanted for dinner. I was given a choice between Steak and Kidney and Chicken and Mushroom, I chose the latter beacause I cant stand kidney, and I said as much on the phone... so I assumed that was on the way, because he didnt ring and ask me if I wanted anything different.. and he comes home with a steak and kindey one, so I said to him, I dont want, simply because I didnt like and I will sort myself out (yet again) at work, the past few days theres hardly been anything in, they only seem to buy wholemeal bread because the white stuff is fattening (sigh)

An argument then en-sued my dad accused me of being an arrogant and aggresive **** since I had my new computer (I've spend about a year without one at home) he then asks me to set the table saying that its nearlly ready.. I said no as I wasnt eating.. so in he walks with the Pie and Chips, I said to him that I didnt want it, and proceeded again to yell, and started with the whole aggressive thing again and threatened to put his foot through my brand new £700 Laptop ok I was being arsey with the whole table thing, but the way he spoke to me even my mum had a go at him about it. And at that point threatened to throw me out if 'I didnt like it'

I proceeded upstairs because I simply refused to argue any more and as soon as my mum came up I appologised to her..

I know he's gonna be the same tomorrow, I refuse to appologise to him for the way he was acting.. but am I being an ass by not doing so? or would you say he is in the wrong?

(Yes, all of that over a Pie. Good eh?)

I work yeh, im there at the moment lol.

It wasnt a strop, I simply said to him I didnt want it... and he kicked off about it, I told him as much on the phone.. and the whole table thing I didnt wanna do it because I wasnt eating.. I admit I was being a git there.

Get you own dinner you spoilt brat

I did

 

[West]

I guess if you simply said thanks for the pie but I do not like kidney or whatever in a nice way. Then you were ok - but I doubt thats how it went down. As above - probably more things going on somewhere. You should probably talk to the old man about it.

I think he's generally ****** off about being skint, my mother is having a few issues.. and not been working past few months.. shes going back to work this month, but they've both been constantly at their throats.

 

[West]

Try and help out as much as you can then! Get the dinner ready or if not at least 'set the table' even if you are not having dinner. Bit of effort around the house to help others and all.

Given me a bit to think about, cheers

Now back to Command and Conquer 3... being paid £7 an hour for blowing things up rules

Then stop being a bloody idiot and lend a hand, the impression I got is you sit in your room and order them to get you food and throw a strop when you don't get your way.

I didn't order them, I couldnt make anything in so i simply couldnt make myself anything otherwise I would have. Not an excuse really I know.

 

[West]

I think considering that they bought you dinner (You could have just had the chips) You acted like a bit of a knob!

Thats the way he saw it I suppose.

I went off saying that he just never seems to listen to people... which he doesnt its really one of his biggest downfalls imo. I just jumped on my high horse and we both just got en-gulffed in an arguement.

I didnt agree though that I am more aggressive (When I was 4 I used to smack other kids before I would let them on the school computer) because im not... but he seems to think that I change when I have a computer in front of me.

I did put the pie in the fride too.. I didnt throw it..

 

[West]

This thread is pretty ridiculous actually. I actually laughed out loud at your "I did put the pie in the fride too.. I didnt throw it.." comment.

Thats not good, I should be asleep.

In your eyes, im just asking for a second oppinion on the way have acted to reflect on it so that it doesnt happen again.

 

[West]

Im the same, I pay them £200 a month, I said to them just yesterday that I woudl pay them more if I could afford to.

I keep my room clean and I when things need doing that no ones done (like emptying the dishwasher) i'll do it..

 

[West]

Can't blame him really can you, whacking great car loan when you cant afford and are thus always skint. And as for the table thing, jeez, it takes 30 seconds to lay the table. He provides you with somewhere to live its the least you can do for him!

When I cant afford.. what you on fox?

Some varying views, thanks folks.

 

[West]

I just read your threads and know nothing more about you than what you tell us. You've just told us that your Dad is fed up that you are always skint.

So...

My parents dont pay ANYTHING toward my car or anything else I buy, its all done out of my own graft. End of.

They're skint because my mum hasnt been to work so they only have my dads income. Plus the cash i give them on payday.

Another classic example of you making assumptions.
