Shopping

Shopping should not be family time. Kinda weird, given the fact that the only time we really get to shop is when it's a family day. I mean, it's really nice to go shopping with mother, but the old man would get sorta lonely and end up waiting outside of the store. I like know that he doesn't mind a whole lot, but he just seems so left out. Then again, when he does come in, he normally brings along the caveat to not spend too much. *sigh* I always feel a bit under pressure when he's around. But hey, if it keeps the family together, I really don't see how it would be a problem.

Life's like plain weird when you're the in-between. Father does one thing, mother does another and you kinda get stuck in the middle. I could like organize something that they both would like, but that would leave me feeling that I'm just fulfilling an obligation and wasting my time a little. It really does suck when you finish an entire day, come home at the end of it all and think about all the things you could've done in that time, and knowing the sacrifice in family time that would be. Someone always gets left out. C'est la vie.
