I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!
I can't take my parents anymore. I am friggin married, why must they pretend I am still there little girl and think I need to hold their damn hand all the time. I was so happy today, I got a job that I think I am really going to love. So I spoke to my mom a little while ago and she right off the bat started knocking the job, saying I was crazy because I accepted a job that pays so little. I'll admit, the pay is not the greatest, but A) It is $8000 more a year than what I was making the past three years, and B) I love the place and the atmosphere. I did not go into education to make money, I went in to it because I love working with children. Her feeling, Jaime, you have a Masters degree, you should be making more. Who the hell cares if I have a Masters degree, so does half the rest of the world and some working jobs making less than me. Instead of being happy for me that I am happy and actually got a job, its an automatic put down. My DH, I swear is my saving grace, he is so happy for me, because he knows that I am happy. And with our combined salaried we will be doing really good and might even be able to swing a house.
Oh House...thats the next issue. In the past week both of my parents have basically ripped to shreds mine and DH's apartment. It is small, it is a one bedroom, kitchen livingroom combo. Are we happy here, no we would love to get something bigger or a house, but we are comfortable and not paying out the rear. We are content right now as we try to save. But is what we want or how we feel matter to anyone ..NO!! My father started giving me a speech last week before he left that for my own self respect we need to find a new place. I was so hurt by that. And still am. Who in the world starts of a marriage WEALTHY??? No body I know. My self respect is fine. I love my DH and know that eventually we will have everything in life we want. Things take time. Why is it that everyone has to criticize us. It is killing me, really tearing me up inside. WEARE HAPPY, so why is it that everyone is trying to tell us we are not? I am at the point where I am going to cut off my mother from anything going on in my life and from coming over to my place, because I am just so tired of being put down. Today was just the last straw with the knocking my job. I was SOOOO happy when I got home, I called my DH so happy and excited and then I spoke to her and was just made to feel like cr@ap!! I just can't take it anymore. I have listened to my parents too many times in the past, their GREAT ADVICE, has gotten me nowhere. I am just so tired of them!! Sorry this is so long, I just had to get it out. The frustration and anger just keeps building!!![]()
