Can I Go Home?
I’m really not in the mood to be at work today. I kept waking up last night – for no real reason at all. But whenever I don’t sleep all the way through a night… I’m exhausted the next day. I would soooo love to go home and take a nice long nap under the air… but I can’t.
Tonight is my sister’s graduation. I’ll post pictures as soon as I can. My father won’t be there. (What a loser!) She got X amount of free tickets that she disbursed to her aunt and cousins (the ones that take care of her!) Any extra tickets needed to be purchased in the amount of $10. Supposedly, my sister waited until Wed to say: “I need the money for the tickets today because I have to turn it tomorrow” to my dad. I don’t know if I buy it because as soon as she told me about the graduation, she told me I had to buy a ticket for $10 – this was the same day my dad was bitching about the money for the farewell. He probably forgot about the $10 until she said something to him on Wed and his feelings were hurt because she didn’t give him a free ticket. Anyways… he cried broke and was like, “I told Tiarra to stop waiting until the last minute to tell me about money! I don’t get paid until Thursday, I don’t have it.” I cut the conversation with him short because if he really wanted to go to her graduation, he could’ve came up with TEN DOLLARS! He could’ve asked me…. Shit! He gets paid on Thursday… there was SOMEBODY he could’ve bummed $10 from until then. So that’s both of his daughter’s high school graduations that he missed. What a loser!
He made it to my college graduation though – only for my AS – he missed the BA but I guess I should be happy he made it to one…. It was funny because at one point during the graduation, one of the speakers was like, “All the parents and spouses in the audience who made this all possible for these graduates with your love, support, money, and patience… please stand up so we can give you a round of applause.” This nigga stood up! LMAO. My mother and grandmother looked at him like he was crazy! We ALL were thinking to ourselves, “what the hell did you do?!?!?” LOL
Anyways… enough about him…. I’m ready to go home!!!

That's too bad about your dad. It's also terrible that he claims that he couldn't scrounge up ten bucks for your sister's graduation. Thankfully you still have a good support system without him.

Sad but he's gonna get what's coming to him and he's gonna regret the moments that she needed him to be there the most....glad she has you....have lots of fun!!
-
When they called for the supporters to stand, you should have shouted "Not so fast, dad." :p
-
LOL! My dad did the same thing at my graduations. Stood up like he DID something. I turned to my mom and clapped DIRECTLY at her and only made eye contact with her. Why do they think they get some credit for just having the title of dad? Boggles my mind...
-

-
I felt the same way u do..my dad missed out on my graduation but he went to both of my sisters.....so im just glad he was a better parent to at least one of his kids....But i know everyting I accomplished and go thru is not creidted towards him...
-
yes mizz jj i am lucky w/ my mom & grandmom.. w/o them......
honey - he will regret them.. but i informed her a while ago dont expect anything from him & she'll never be disappointed
grant - i didnt see it.. my mom told me about it.. cause i woulda gave him that look!
cool - i think my dad feels b/c he was there when i was little.. and he decided to pop back up right at the end.. he could!
kween - my dad wants to give me away... i think not! my cousin will be doing so!
missy - my dad hasnt been great to either one of us!
my dad had his own personal struggles he had to deal w/... and im not mad at him for not being there for me.. but he pisses me off about my little sister b/c she doesnt have that strong support system like i did...
-
I'm working...from home. So I guess I should be saying...I wish I could stop working for the day.
-
I know the feelin' chile...hope you went home and RELAXED!!! That's too bad your Dad couldn't find a way to attend your sister's graduation...it only hurts him in the end. Congrats to your sister!!!
