what should i do?
September 9th, 2006 by ashieHaiz, what can I do or tell my dad that I am tired and I really need rest?
I think most of my friends know that I help my parents on every weekend without fail. I lost so much of my youth, fun and quantity times with my love one and I don’t really complain a lot for that…
However, my dad will never spare a thought for me… He always thinks that it is must to help him and never appreciate what I had contributed to this family and his business…
For your little info, a month before my graduation, I had a big quarrel with my dad over a typical 1950s, or even 1930s, old man thinking – It is a must to help him in the shop instead of working for others…
Hey come on, I studied so much, (although it is just a diploma) he expect me to spend my most precious time in the coffee shop. I told him, I already at my early 20s now, and if I not going to see the world now, I wouldn’t have a chances anymore. Moreover, it is not my interest… On the other hand, he thinks that I will not earning as good as working for the family. Okay, maybe he got the point, but can you stop protecting me, plan my life before I tired. If I never tired, I will know which one will be a better choice for me. Anyway, my dad business wasn’t as good as before… He complains to his friends and no one actually support his side and of course I won… So, I went to look for job after my graduation.
Today (it is a Saturday) I had to work and he expect me to help him after my work. He called my phone more than 20 times and I refused to pick up. This is because I am sure that he will force me to go his shop to help him which I don’t feel like. I don’t mean not to pick up his call or work for him because I really very tired and all I want is to rest. I had been working 7 days a week (weekdays I work and weekend I go over his stall and help him) for the past 3 month. Then he threw his hp and broke it. He threatened to break my hp when the moment he reached home. Luckily, I managed to save it. Actually, I am quite guilty but I really want some rest…
What should I do to get a win-win situation? I really sick of that…
