Re: Post-Thanksgiving parental bullshit.
(Anonymous) 2025-11-30 07:43 am (UTC)(link)I'm sorry your dad says that sort of stuff to you, even worse that you cooked dinner and cleaned and he has to say stuff to put you down. I fully support you taking time off next holiday for yourself. You deserve to live for yourself every now and then. Holidays don't always have to be centered around family. And who cares what the family says? Are they paying for your trip? Nope! Are they living your life? Nope!
Just because he "means well" and that you know your dad loves you doesn't mean hurtful words don't hurt. It also doesn't help that he knows that what he says and how he says it hurts your feelings but he would rather you "get over it" than you know, be considerate of you and your feelings and actually try to stop saying hurtful things. You've been "the better person" for long enough.
Your family can cry into their hands at how "selfish" you are for wanting to travel solo for your holidays, like...that stuff ain't your responsibility.
Honestly, the world puts so much onto wives/girlfriends and daughters. The default is to always put others before ourselves and if we dare put ourselves first, we are selfish and awful. The world isn't going to end just because you aren't around to make others lives easier, much as they whine that they need you to coddle them/be their punching bag.
