Jus wanted to come on here and share my experience Cause it’s been 5 days since and I had the worse day ever 1. My birthdays Most of my birthdays I don’t ask for anything, cause I alr have whatever I can ask for But this being my 18th birthday I thought I would get something special I even made a list I got nothin
2. College I asked for a laptop, mom said no Until and unless I get accepted into a college So then it’s not exactly a birthday gift is it
3. Drinking Prior to my birthday, I asked if I can start drinking after my birthday Not hard liquor specifically, I just meant in general
Context- every family gathering, they sit down to drink
I thought she’d say yes, but she was like no, ur not an adult at 18, drink after 21 I was hurt, cause I thought she’d agree Cause over the years she has given me some of her alc
4. Driving My mom never offered to teach me driving And wanted me to go to driving school I can’t cause my id has the address of my old state and not my current one Paper work is ass in India
5. Come to Sunday It was my uncles house warming I was staying over there I woke up in sweat, cause my aunt was cleaning the bathrooms so the door was open and my uncle gives everyone a hard time about the ac air escaping Since I like sleeping clean I don’t like waking up in sweat So my mood was off since before I opened my eyes
6. My cousin I don’t usually talk to my cousins Most people who have siblings or are introverted don’t talk much
She is younger than me by one month, she asked for permission and was having champagne. Drinking with my mom. It pissed me off
Then it came to the topic of driving, my mom never offered to teach me driving but told her Yeah sure come over I can teach both of y’all together
7. So I cried My mom said- it’s my first time being a mother
But it’s my first time living too and I want to experience stuff
At least know that it’s big deal I’m 18
Now come to gifts- I settled for something cheap, a mini jbl speaker I asked if mom or dad could buy it Rather I said pls buy since I want a birthday gift
Then no one ordered it So I just took moms phone and paid for it
I feel like buying whatever I wanted now Cause I’m now 18 and no one gave me anything
Happy Belated Birthday!!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ , All I can say is just don't expect things from anyone even from parents, the freedom u want and the other "wants" you have ALL of them can be fulfilled by yourself when u work as in have your own job. I know I'm talking about smthg in future, but I am saying this coz I felt the same and went through similar things. I am still in my early 20's, doing a job and I am learning what is freedom and at least I don't have to ask my parents to buy things for me anymore. So, just to your best study well and get a good job. ^ ^
If I think about it, there were some good things I got to cut a burnt cheesecake And then my other aunt and ordered a tiramisu for my birthday It was yum
My lil sisters, since it was my birthday shared their snacks with me
