never meet your heros

[mollykins]

I am in a kind of 'never meet your heros situation?'

Everyone thinks my dad is great, funny, kind, hard working. My next door neighbour who recently fell out with her only son, said she wishes he was more like my dad.

But i have to live with him and can't wait to move out. (please noone complain that i'm moaning, you don't have to live with this man)

~He always complains he has no money, yet buys at least £15 of food that is unecessary each week, then wastes half the meat - another ten pound at least, by not using the left overs. Yet he smokes and must spend £15-20 a week on that, so we could save about £50 a week (he tries to give up but he admitted that he doesn't really want to, but says he could easily if he wanted to)

~He is such a fussy eater, its rediculous, and saturday is normally the only night i get to have rice, noodles or pasta, and if i get a big pack of noodles i have a stir fry instead of a proper roast on a sunday. But the rest of the week its potatoes and rarely anything else.

~He took no notice in my school work, and didn't even know what gcse subjects i took, he thought i'd taken art instead of maths! But when i got asked to stay behind for revision, for my up coming exams, he told me off for getting a detention, which it wasn't, but he thought i got it because i weren't paying attention in lessons and needed to catch up.

~My oldest brother is 24 years older than me, and i think he thinks that he can bring me up the same way that he did him and my other siblings, but times have moved on, until i'm eighteen the only boy thats allowed round, is my gay friend, who i've known since we were 8.

So am i living in a never meet your heros situation, and if people had to live with him all of the time, would they feel the ame way about him do you think?

Now stop being so selfish.

[mollykins]

precisely chuck, i have a lot of revision to do.

[mollykins]

I don't want to die from heart disease but at the rate i'm going i will.

[ummmm]

We were fed on lard...

We had dripping on bread...

We are still alive and in my case, healthy.

Stop being a drama queen...!!!

[mollykins]

I knows that there are plenty of kids who aren't treated fairly but that wasn't my question and i didn't ask for sympathy. I was asking if i'm in a meeting you hero situation?

[ummmm]

And then went on about food. I use the term 'went on' very loosely because I call it moaning.

[mollykins]

I know i'm treated quite well compared to most kids, but i wasn't asking for your opinion on whether i am or not.

[daffy654]

Don't be so bloody ridiculous molly. You are young still and have many years to alter your lifestyle once you leave home.

The term 'self obsessed' seems appropriate for you right now.

"I was asking if i'm in a meeting you hero situation? "

No you're not, to be in that situation your dad would have to be somebody you had not previously met who you thought of as a hero.

As you have presumably known your dad all your life and by the sounds of it you don't regard him as a hero you don't meet either the criteria to be meeting your hero

[mollykins]

No what i mean is, he is someone that people love and admire, but when you get to know them, they might not be that great.

[mollykins]

such as living with them for years. And you begin to see their other side.

[ummmm]

Do you think we've all been bought by wolves or something?

[mollykins]

no . . . . ?

[ummmm]

Most of us lived with our parents....we all know they have 'another side'

You're coming across as very ungrateful. immature and naive...

[mollykins]

i'd love my dad to be like that.
