Cheap or no it's relative. What if it's cheap for you but it was their food money? My point was that choose the important things. I mean. You have tablets for every kid, subscribed phone bills, but can't afford for a baby stroller?
Firstly chill, by pretty rich I meant they are mid rich, not rich rich.
My point
By the way, isn't her saying ' being broke, we moved around to friends places to motels' contrasting with her saying 'having fun on their tablets, watching YouTube and Netflix' store in mind you need to have a membership to watch anything in Netflix.
My point too cutie
This is just a rant i felt like typing it out and mangago is the only "social media" i have. My mom, who's 35 just had her 6th kid (im the eldest, 17) thats great except for the fact that she's a single parent, making around $20,000 a year. Not much and she has little family support and no husband, but she dates (and i honestly dont care- havent seen my dad since 4 so im not wishing they were together or anything). You know, at baby #4, i was excited because it was my first sister (and brothers suck) but by the time she was born, i guess thats when she realized the guy was a deadbeat idiot or whatever. Shes never lived with the guys shes dated or had kids with though- spearate lives, idk. Being broke, we moved around from friends places to motels, apartments, sad stuff like that and #4 is annoying, spoiled,entitled, and a brat (even if i love her) so i was greatful that shes finally 10 and not a baby who i have to constantly take care care of (selfish, yes, but im in high school and busy. I already have no social life to speak of,so i at least want grades for scholarships since im broke). I no longer have to wake up to her crying and screaming and doing dumb kid things where i have to stop her before she burns the house down and get kidnapped. Then BOOM, two years ago on Christmas when we were living in a motel, my mom says she has another "present" -she was 7 months pregnant (wasnt noticeable, her baby bumps dont show till the last month or so), and she didnt tell us because it was possible the baby wouldnt make it up till then. I kinda just sat down and didnt talk, smiled weakly because "yay a baby sister" but also "why, why, why, we're broke AF and of course i have to be the person taking care of her while my mom works so now thats less time for me and blah blah blah, no freedom to go out with friends (something i was finally able to do for a bit), and no going out as a family in general since the baby is at home and we dont even owm a stroller. Now she's one and requires less attention so i was finally feeling some of the burden lift. Then Boom, late April my mom says she's likr 8 months pregnant (literally i had just thought her stomach was looking pretty round two days before). #6 is the 3rd boy ,pretty loud, pretty cute and #2 and #3 (teens) are too useless having fun on their tablets watching youtube and netflix everyday to even look after #5 so i can properly take care of #6 so i just end up with a baby in my arms and a one year old hanging off my leg. When i told my friends about #6, the response is "again???? Didnt she just....." and one friend specifically asked some telling questions like "how many kids is this now? How old is she again? Is their dad the same?" all i could say to the last one was "idk" bc i dont ask if she doesnt tell. Her dating life is her business. But me and #3 have the same dad, #2 has a different dad, #4 had a different dad, #5 has a different dad. Maybe #5 and #6 have the same dad. All that really matters to me is that theyre paying child support and he is (though my dad never did so yay for me). I know people usually have a diff type of relationship with their half siblings but i lovingly dislike each of them the same and we all live together. The only difference is that #2 and #4 have douvle the family, christmas presents, and #4 epescially lives the life of a privileged financially lucky kid (cruises, disney land) - can't say im not sort of jealous but its honestly all the same at this point. If i dwelled on how unlucky i was compared to other kids, i wouldnt killed myself by now, reality is reality. Now, i dont feel comfortable talking about my "family" anymore because it makes her sound like a slut or something, and i would like to think she's not (even from an objective pov, the woman is smart and i respect her strength, though we have a love-hate relationship ). Anyway, ive been wondering why she keeps having kids pop up out of nowhere. With #4 and #5, i think she wasnt supposed to be able to have anymore kids or something. But i remember in childhood (before i knew what those things were) seeing birth control pills on her desk once and a condom on her nighstand at another point, so does she not use protection? Is it that ineffective? I feel like she uses condoms at least, not that she brings men home but bc she's not a dumbass. Well, either way, with every kid she has, my life span, freedom, and social life (nonexistent to begin with) shortens, suffers, depletes, and im tired and im a senior and its summer and i need a part time job so i can pay the shitty fees and APs , and fuck prom, and fuck summer "break". ...i cant breathe and #6 is currently crying hiccuping screaming in my arms because he's hungry, we're out of milk, and my mom is oyt getting some. His diaper is also wet so i need to change his diaper...*sigh* i don't really want to see baby
