Well this morning i woke up, pumped to see Date Movie. I turned my computer on and my grandma said to me, "If you don't get a job soon, then i'm going to have cut Foxtel off". The words empty threat immediately came to mind, as she watches Foxtel too. Then she said, i'm going to ring Foxtel soon and tell them to come uninstall it, how much will it cost? Then i thought she was serious; and she started going on about all of this me not getting a job shit. And she said, if i don't get a job soon, then piano lessons will have to stop too. I turned to bitch mode and just walked out of the house, as i was supposed to be going to Date Movie soon anyway. When i came home, i asked her when she was cutting Foxtel off, and she said tomorrow. Then i gave this whole speech about how we watch all our tv through it, and how it gives a clearer picture and that $70 a month is a small price to pay for the amount we use it. She then said she'd think about, and we're still at that. She thinks i'm not really trying to get a job. She says that if i don't 'pick up my game' in a week then she's going to cut it off. And she says half the reason she's cutting it off is because i didn't talk her since she didn't give me money for lunch today, talk about cutting off the nose to spite the face. I then asked her about my student allowance that i would be getting when i turn 16, i said that most people get $200-$250 a fortnight (no, i'm not making up facts, i looked on the website), which is enough to pay for my piano lesson and school fees each week, and in theory, that's what she wants me to do when i get a job. She said she wanted me to have a job as well, to get me used to the workforce. Remembering that if i work, my student allowance gets reduced; it just doesn't make sense to me why she wants me to have a job. She's acting as though all i do is sit around the the house all day, i do go to fucking school you know. I'm 15, it's not my mother fucking reponsibility to pay for everything. It's not my fault that my mum fucked off to Malaysia, hassle her to get a job and pay for things, why hassle me? Then Aunty Ngaire butts in and says that she thinks everyone my age should have a job, due to the fact that all her children did. Well excuse fucking me, we are not in the 30s, school isn't consisted of hiding in a bomb shelter.
And i couldn't help but feel like shit when, on The Biggest Loser, one of the contestant's mums was asked if she would miss her son and she responded by saying, 'what kind of question is it to ask a mother if she'll miss her son?'
