我不明白。为什么大人不用为他们的错误为负责呢？我有错，你有错，他也有错。为什么个个都要推在我身上了？说一句对不起有这么难吗？

basically, i have an uncle here from california for the holiday. he's very...self-absorbed, arrogant, childish, immature--oh, why am i repeating myself? he acts like he's the king of the house. not surprising since he was the youngest son of four siblings. but seriously people, he's a grown man of (almost?) fifty. stop acting like that. have some respect for other people. stop acting like you're the center of the freakin universe. for god's sake, just because you're with family doesn't mean you can do whatever you want and there won't be consequences for your actions. oh, wait, there ARE no consequences when it comes to you. wtf? im the youngest in the family now, but i sure as hell dont act like you. it makes me angry because he's so...i can't respect him and because i dont, it makes ME look like bad kid because i'm not respecting an 'adult'. wtf.

so my mom decides to scold me for it and he starts grinning and trying to join in the scolding. im like, YOU want to teach me about respect and how to be polite? (YOU?! are you friggin kidding me?!) aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

and come on, ma. you were the one who did me wrong today. you guys know (at least those who have read my blog for a while now know) how she is. she did it again--i dont really want to talk about it. just because you're an adult and a mom doesnt mean you can do whatever you want and not have to be responsible for your actions. she's always used her being my 'mom' as an excuse to get away with ANYTHING.

for goodness sake, the world DOES NOT work that way. or at least i believe it shouldn't. >.> mothers should be mothers, adults should be adults. but who said the world was fair? this is where my chinese comes in from above...

"I don't understand. Why can't adults take responsibility for their wrong doing(s)? I was wrong, you were wrong, he was also wrong. Why does everything have to be blamed on me? Is it really so hard to say 'I'm sorry'?"

I'm pretty sure I got some verb tenses or something wrong in the Chinese. Hell, I'm just an ABC(American Born Chinese). Without proper training in Chinese, too.

Hey.. least you can read/write in Chinese.. My Chinese is limited to those words that I recognise from Japanese, sometimes I know what it is in Japanese but not Chinese, or those random words from names and lyrics..

My family life sucks too, I think it's a Chinese thing, you know. The ridiculous respect for elders although they are useless and undeserving.

I didn't know Vista can do that... Proves how much I explored on my own computer.

I can relate.
Totally know how you feel, dot. I think a lot of asian families do that, not just Chinese. Cambodians, Thais, all that mess cuz I get that crap, too. There's this total disrespect I see (alongside disgust) when people touch you with their feet. I hate it to DEATH, but this lady, who's my mom's friend is running on 56 yrs, is very violent when playing and none other than that, uses her feet to poke me or kick me when I'm sitting on the the floor. She acts like a child and shows TOTAL disrespect for MY property and me. When I get fed up, I tell her off, and then my blood and god mother tell me to respect my elders and at least tell her nicely to stop. To be honest, I did not put up with that because I say, as an adult (myself), when you grow up, you should already KNOW better than to do retarded immature things such as touch or kick people with your dirty ass feet!!!

...err, I kinda went on a rant there. I totally know how you feel when you can't win a situation because of the age difference and cultural belief. I personally believe it's bullshit and I expressed (very descriptively) it to my mom and god-mother, too. You can only respect elders that are respectable. Just as they themselves will not respect their brothers/sisters for being a 56 yr old alcoholic with no job and no manners, does NOT mean we as young adults should play by the indiscriminant rules of giving respect to that alcoholic just because they're older.

holiday time = family time
And we are then reminded why we only gather during the holidays...
