aging parents and bratty sisters
My father is not in a good place right now. His vision is going and he's having cognitive issues. And my sisters, who are taking care of him, are completely stressed out. And apparently I am a terrible horrible person who doesn't care about my father or anyone in the house. Sorry, sisters mine, but you opted to feed at the parental trough for 45 years, it's payback time. I've been working my butt off since I graduated from law school to make a life for myself and for my children. So hell, yeah, when the weekend comes, I'm going out. Our parents are paying your bills, but they're not paying mine, so I'm going to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I earned it. And I learned, several years ago, that life is very short indeed, and I can't wait until "someday" to enjoy it." It's not your place to decide who lives in YOUR PARENTS' HOUSE. And I really don't give a damn that you haven't gone to the theater since May. ...
