my stepmother is a bitch

Ugh I hate her so much! Today she was supposed to wake me up for the PSAT’s… I specifically asked her to wake me up last night. Did she wake me up? Yeah… FIVE FUCKING MINUTES before I had to be there! “Oh I thought you were just asking me what time you should get up!” Why is she such a fucking dumbass?
And she’s so lazy! Yesterday I get home from school… I’m soooo exausted from school, all I want to do is sleep, but “before you settle in I need you to vacuum the foyer the stairs and the upstairs hall, and the kitchen” so my stepbrother takes the kitchen, except he’s just fucking around on the computer while I go in the garage, get out the vacuum, do my vacuuming so I can go to sleep. Just as I’m dozing she busts in my room, wakes me up…“the stairs are still filthy, you need to vacuum them again.” Well you know what they say, if you want something done right do it your fucking self! you lazy ass whore! And you seem to know an awful lot about vacuuming for someone who I’ve never seen use one, who hasn’t taken a mop to the kitchen floor in the entire year we’ve been living in our house, who’s too much of a fucking spoiled JAP to have any domestic skills at all and whose cooking is absolutely vile and makes me want to throw up all over her and who leaves all the pots and pans out overnight for my dad to clean up and who turned my white sheets pink and who washed my favorite jeans with fucking MUSTARD PACKETS! and who thinks she can tell me what do to because “I’m the parent and you’re the child”! Well guess what, you’re not MY fucking parent bitch! And she’s soooo … gah!!!

JAP?

Jewish American Princess. Lovely epithet isn’t it?

Shimmery, grow up, buy yourself an alarm clock and do your fair share of housework without bitching.

Jeorge-Bush-Ass-Phelcher, maybe?

That’s got to be in there somewhere.

Oh, and buying yourself an alarm clock sounds like good advice, if you can’t rely on someone to wake you up. That must have really sucked.

…and why the fuck did you leave mustard packets in your own pockets. When she did your laundry is she also supposed to make sure you didn’t leave something idiotic in your pockets?

Haj

If you’re over the age of three, you’re old enough to help out. And get yourself an alarm clock.

Does she have a day job? If she does, you have no right to complain at all. If she doesn’t, and if she just lays around all day eating bonbons, watching TV, and demanding that everyone serve her, you may have a leg to stand on.

I doubt I’ve meddled enough in the pit to start giving replies, but here goes.

Negative one and a half.

Allow me to supply some reasons for this…

1. Style. One big spewy paragraph with no clear cohesiveness. Rather than splitting up your rant, you just throw it out all at once. There’s no clear transition or linking between your problems, you just give out a fact and then a fact with no references to ass-felching or explaining in depth and detail the problems with this.

2. Format. You do not capitalize well, use proper punctuation, etc. Big no-no in my book.

3. Your topic. We all like bitching about parents, but it’s often better to do that after you’ve gone through college and stuff and you learn to respect your parents instead of calling them “lazy ass JAPs” because they won’t do all the work themselves. Are you going to hate your mother after she works to put you through college? To support you when you’re out of college, to love you throughout the rest of your life despite the fact you’re a stupid assmunch?

4. Your presentation. It reeks of one-sidedness. For example, did you make yourself clear that you needed to be woken up before that time, or did you just hastily mumble “Hey PSATS are tomorrow at 8 wake me up 'k?” And have you also considered that your mother might be exhausted from her day as well, and that you did a slack-off job on the stairs because all you cared about was going to sleep and not living in a clean house? And as for the argument “if you want something done right do it your fucking self,” this just shows what an ignorant dumbfuck you are. Do you think your mother is the sole cause of dust on the steps, and not lazy-ass punks like you? Just because she doesn’t use the vacuum doesn’t mean she can’t see the inch-thick layer of dirt on the steps.

5. Hypocrisy. You say that if people want a job done well, they should do it themselves. Yet then you go on to bitch about her domestic, cooking, and laundy skills. Well, how about this: Do your own fucking cleaning, cooking, and laundry. If you don’t want your whites pink, seperate them so she doesn’t have to. If you don’t want your jeans splattered in mustard, empty your pockets before dropping them in the laundry room. If you want to be woken up on time… BUY AN ALARM CLOCK. And maybe you should realize that she DOES have superiority over you since she’s the parent and you’re the child. Do you know how much it costs to raise a child? Do you think she enjoys having to deal with stuck-up punks who don’t want to have any responsibility in life?

Okay, that’s it. Now where’s my pie?!

-Lenin

She didn’t say that she left mustard packets in the jeans. She said they were washed WITH mustard packets.

So what if she works. She should still do her share of the cleaning. I work, go to school, cook, and clean when I get home.

We don’t know how old the girl is, if she had an alarm clock that broke and her family didn’t buy her another one…

Primaflora, Persephone, and Hajerio: back off.

She didn’t seem to be bitching about her share of the housework, she seemed to be bitching about her stepmother’s desire for her to redo it. I can understand her annoyance. If my stepfather didn’t think I did the dishes to his satisfaction, he would wake me at 3:00 am to redo them. To wake a child up to redo a chore can be abusive.

Hastur: To wake a child at 3 am to redo a chore is abusive, I’ll give you that. To wake a teenager who is napping after school and vacuuming is not.

I would still like an explanation for the specific meta-location of the mustard packets…

Sounds like good parenting to me, bet you didn’t do a bad job on dishes any more.

And you would be wrong, assface.

I could never do the dishes perfectly to his desires. I would not see a DAMN thing wrong, and he would make me redo a sinkful of dishes at 3 am at the age of 11 is insane.

I hope you don’t have children.

It didn’t sound to me like she was napping. It sounded to me like she was in bed at night to get some sleep. The OP is a bit confusing and I think quite open to interpretation.

treis: Please tell me you’re joking.

Waking a kid up at 3 am for something so stupid like parental displeasure with a dishwashing job borders on abuse. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if Hastur’s dad woke him up for that, Hastur knows a lot more about abusive behavior than you and I will ever want to know.

I hope you are the only one who has to eat off your dishes.

Oh, please. It was you who wanted to take the PSAT, so it should be you responsible for waking yourself up. If your alarm clock was broken, like Hastur suggested, then you could have just borrowed your step-mother’s (I’m assuming she has one since it was her responsibility to get you up).

Also, you live in that house. You can help clean it up. I have to vacuum the floors in my house. I have to do the dishes in my house. I go to high school too, and I’m tired after school also, but I sure as hell find time to help out my parents who graciously let me live in the house for which they are paying.

If she messes up your laundry, maybe you should do it yourself. I do my own laundry. Sure, it’s a bit of a hassle, but at least it gets done and gets done to my liking.

As for the “I’m the parent and you’re the child” phrase, you should respect her for the sole reason that she’s your elder. So far, I have seen your step-mother ask for nothing unreasonable. From the instances you’ve presented, you really have no reason to hate her.

I’m 23 and guess what-my mother still makes noise to wake me up-because I sleep through alarm clocks-every alarm clock I’ve had, I’ve slept through it.

:frowning:

Back off? You can fuck off!

My parents divorced when I was seven and soon afterwards my Mother married the married man with whom she was having the affair that caused the divorce. My step-dad who out weighed me by 150 lbs beat me up a few times for little reason other than he was having a bad day. You step-dad sounds like a world class prick too but neither of our cases has anything to do with the OP.

From the OP, step-mom at least cooks dinner and does laundry. It’s not too much for a kid to do some vacuuming. The OP is about 15 if she’s taking the PSAT so that’s plenty old enough to take care of your own fucking self.

Haj

If she’s not your parent, why do you expect her to parent you? Or do you just assume that all adults are responsible for the laundry and time management needs of any children that happen to be around.

You can’t have it both ways, sugar puff.

Would you consider an idea, Guinastasia?

I’ve used the Shake Awake alarm clock for years. Outstanding device that fits inside your pillow and will produce a powerful vibration that wakes you up. This alarm has been known to rouse me from the deepest sleeps. The only time it has ever faied to wake me up is when I’ve forgotten to change the batteries…which I do every four months, whether it needs it or not.

I use this alarm clock because I’m severely to profoundly deaf, and the standard alarms would be useless for me.

As for my response to the author of the OP: Grow up.
