Family Matters
- My mom is trying to make me a part of this family dynamic for my sister to grow up with. But here's my big problem: I never exactly grew up with a real family. It was always me and my mom, occasionally I saw my dad. I was very used to this life because I was an only child and I was kinda independent. Now after my sister was born it's me, my mom and my sister. My mom’s boyfriend, Billy, wants to be the male role model figure in my sister’s life. Here is where my mom wants to start to adapt the typical family dynamics. My mom wants me to be the supportive and protective older brother so my sister doesn't turn out to be some mentally ill chick with daddy issues and lobotomette. Which is good. I can do that role just fine but being a part of family matters is not my strong suit. Wanting to go watch a movie as a family, or trick or treating as a family, or do anything as a family I never really grew up so logically I’m less inclined to do so even worse when I’m an adult now. Plus I want to be more independent now that I’m going to college. I'm restrained because I live at home and my sister loves to come into my room and bother me when I really need to do my work. And my mom takes me not wanting to be a part of this generic family as a bad thing and just because I live under her roof means I still have to do everything she tells me. To some extent I can agree but as a busy college student I just can't.
