Parents...
ah parents, what can you say about parents...oh no, not MY parents, my parents are wonderful, i love my parents and when i grow up and have my own family i sincerely hope i will be a mother like my mother and be married to a man like my father...however, i can't say the same for all people's parents...actually that's not fair, they can be great people and still have some very agrivating flaws. let's take stef's parents for instance, now i love stefanie with all the organs in my body and i think that she and her parents have a pretty good relationship. she spends a lot of time with them and respects them and tells them a lot about herself and her friends and just general people and such however her step-father, john...kind of has some trust issues. now i'm not sure if perhaps he was a loose cannon as a teen and is trying to prevent that behavior in his daughter or perhaps stefanie's older sister was a handful and he's worried stef will follow the footsteps...or my own personal theory he just loves her so gosh darn much he doesn't know what to do other than keep her around all the time. keeping her around generally equals grounding her for slightly absurd reasons. now the only reason i would even venture to criticize his parenting would be because his parenting tactics effect our friendship. when she's grounded for two months that means i dont get to see her for those two months, and when we don't have classes together and she doesn't drive and all these factors it really puts a strain on things, i feel like i don't even really know what's going on with her at times. now why even bring it up you're thinking, obviously she's done something wrong and deserves punishment so what is it for you to say there's a problem. the problem i have is when it effects my plans, see he doesn't always seem to get that when he punishes her he's punishing me and at times i feel like he doesn't trust me, like i'm some heathen that's waiting to sabatage all his efforts to parent.
(so, i found that this was saved as a draft from forever ago and i thought i'd publish it. the date today is april 21, 2007, and i felt that adding to this entry wouldn't make sense since i am not the same person today as i am when i wrote this entry, and because john has caused much greater damage and agrivation in both of our lives by now than he had at that point...so yes, here it is)
