Well!

My mother was just telling me the last time I was home that their credit cards are smoking from all the damned expenses they're facing. Everything from their trip to Texas and accompanying miata purchase this summer to my two-grand operation in a couple of weeks, compounded with an assload of plane tickets, most of which are for unavoidable cross-country trips by Mitch that are required by the military, followed by the purchase of a new house later this year because Mitch has been transferred (which would have to be beachfront property, so that puts it up to 200-300k for the house alone).

So, yeah. I'm willing to accept without argument that they probably can't just slap down a check for my tuition.

I received this email from her a few minutes ago:

Okay, here's how pissed I am that I had to drive Lucy [the miata] in a blinding snow storm last night . . . I just bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I wonder how Mitch is going to feel about that?

I think he's going to wonder why the fuck he lets you control his money. How many lives did she save to earn the right to call that her money? How many people are safe with their families because of something she's done? How many twelve hour shifts did she work rescuing fucktards from their own maritime stupidity? None.

She's wasting his money, and this is why I often wonder if I shouldn't be more bitter that they can't possibly afford to help me with my education. I wonder why so many people have such unreasonable expectations of their parents. I've known for a very long time that my parents are human. I've watched them do some of the most asinine things I've ever seen. Today I realized that this trend will probably never change.
