The title is odd, but yeah.
Anyway, my mom went out for a long walk with my grandma to look at flowers and everything, so I stayed home alone with Lexi for a couple hours, and my dad came a bit later.
And this is were my ramble begins.
My dad is... really annoying. I mean, he‘s always wearing AirPods or playing his online games on his phone. I usually have to repeat myself like 3 times before he answers, and his answers are usually... eh.
Like, today, I asked him how work was, and he said it was okay and the job site was okay and stuff. And that was it, after I said “Huh, cool.”
No “so how was YOUR day?” or “we’re having blah blah for dinner“ or “yeah, hows your ankle?” (I hurt it the other day)
Nothing.
BUT, if I do something wrong, it’s “Honey, don’t pull on Lexi’s leash to hard. Because...” and then he goes into this long talk about what happens and practically repeating the same thing over but in different words, while I’m standing there freezing.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love my dad, but sometimes he can be a pain in the rear.
And I can’t tell him to ask me how school was or tell him to talk more about cool stuff then repeating same things over.
I just... yeah. Stuff. Stuff is stuff. Life is life.
Anyway, I may just be overreacting and stuff, but I kinda just wanted to let this out. So yeah, that’s that.
Also, here’s some stuff to make this somewhat TGH related.
am I the only one wondering about Maplecloud and Rowanwood? Where’d Maplecloud go after Star made River Herd? With Rockwing? And how did Rowanwood react to Brackentail joining River Herd?
Blurp XD
~Stormsun💦
Oof I’m really sorry.... idk what else to say.....
Wow. I'm sorry about that. But Fire has really good ideas.
Also, I always sort of assumed Maplecloud died.
Yeah my I got my dad air pods and he's always wearing them and He plays this game that he always loses at and it's really anoying. (I'm not going to write as much as thunder and fire because I'm being lazy XD)
Not sure what your situation is, but this is what is suggest. Only you know if this could work, so if you read this and go. "Nope! Not happening Bob!" All good. Just thought i would suggest these things to you. I believe in the power of words!
(Warning...The following may cause uncomfortable situations with your loved ones!)
You could flat out ask him, "Why don't you ever ask me how I am? Or why don't you talk to me much?" I will try giving him the benefit of the doubt and say, Maybe he doesn't realize what he is doing. Or maybe he thinks "Maybe she doesn't want to tell me? so i won't try to pry by asking, she will offer the information if she wants me to have it."
~I knew a girl whos father was always questioned by his parents about everything, causing him to not question his kids going a bit extreme and not asking them anything. She talked to him about it and the issue was resolved.
Maybe ask him sometime if you can play with him? Tell him you have noticed that he likes to play those games and say you want to spend time with him and you wouldn't mind doing that, (Unless you don't, then don't try that one.)
If you are comfortable with it, you could also ask another family member about it(Sibling, Mom, Grandparent, Aunt, uncle, Etc) . Ask them to talk to him about it, see if you can fix it?
I don't know...it is also late when I typed this, but I know that if my dad and I were like that, I would want to fix it. But I also don't know if your dad is what I would call a question snapper. Where you ask a question and if it offends or anything like that, he snaps at you.
And in the end...Some people are just...Bleh...
Oof yeah, people can be..... frustrating to say the least
Aw, I'm sorry about your dad. Tbh, my mom is the same way. She never let's me do anything, and when I do something wrong that isn't even that bad, like, staying in my room cuz I'm mad, or watching my favorite youtubers on YouTube that she doesn't like for some reason, then she says I'm grounded for a long time. Longer than should be necessary. One of the worst things she did was take away my doorknob for 6 months, and then my whole door for another 3 months.
Btw, I'm not saying I have it worse then you, I'm just saying i know how you feel.
I have wondered what happened to Maplecloud. She just disappeared. And all that was said about Rowanwood was that she never forgived Brackentail. That's it. It would be nice to know more!
