i just need an outlet.

i had a skype chat with my brother and his fiancee, i sat with my parents during the video, and when they asked how Paris was, I said “great, but a bit too many museums for my tastes!” in which my mom retorted with “she’s just grouchy because i didn’t buy her a $1200 bag”. shut the hell up. I’m not grouchy about that. I’m mildly upset because I had no say in the trip that was my idea, it was all art museums. Yes. 1-3 are fine. But 8 in a 10 day trip, plus 4 tours of random stuff, is not my ideal trip to Paris. I’d have liked to do half of that, you’re half, and my half. You weren’t the only one on the trip. But I stayed quiet and let you have your trip that dad wouldn’t have liked. And so when we are on the plane don’t even begin to bitch at me that I could have fixed it. Seriously, whenever I offered up a different idea, you’d go “no, this is what i want to do.” It was a vacation, I was happy in Paris, so I went with it. I’d have preferred to shop, fact. Don’t even tell me that you wouldn’t like to shop in Paris either.  The bag was nothing. Yes, I adore it, but I have the knockoff so I’m good.

And on the call, I stated that my dad had told my mom “make sure to get something nice for Erin” then i was bitched at by my brother & his fiancee for “you’re going to paris, that’s nice enough!” okay, i wasn’t the one to said it, i just quoted my dad. 

And I can’t tell my friends this because “wow you’re so rich you go to paris and complain” oh can’t i just have someone be like “oh i know, when i went to —- i had no say, parents can be so annoying sometimes!” i have 6 close friends, and none would be like that.

i need a best friend. I have best-internet friends who would be lovely and understanding, but they aren’t in my day to day, face to face, life. Unfortunately. 

Okay, going to go have dinner. Nobody is going to read this so whatever.
