Time for me to complain again, I'm not sure if this is going to turn into a rant or not...depends on how worked up I get. This is about my dad, if you haven't noticed yet most of the greif in my life (well at least until school starts) is. Its not realy a big thing just something I've been thinking about for the past few hours (I spend alot of time thinking). Dad came over for dinner tonight, part of my parents we need to act civil in front of the kids campain, well its more of my mom's campain but you get the idea. So, the conversation was going around talking about everyones various days, me trying to explain that there is a major difference in the democratic and republican parties, that she neaded to vote if not for her than for me, ect. ect. So, the conversation finaly came around to everyones health and dad mentions that he just lost about 10 pounds and hes on a diet. This gets my brother upset because my dad's defention of a diet is I'm not going to eat unless the kid's are around and I have to make food anyway to feed them. I tell him Ravy's right and that thats not the way to loose weight (ever feel like your the parent). So, dad goes on and on that when you get to his age that exercise realy doesn't help you loose weight and that you have to eat less. That his such and such is too high and loosing weight is the only way to lower it. I say thats true but it doesn't mean you just stop eating. So to move the spotlight of him he points to me and says that I never eat witch makes me burst out laughing, I should mention that I'm eating cerial as I wright this. I tell thats not true I just never eat around him. Its not my fault I'm not hungery when he whants to eat dinner at 4 30 and I ate lunch at 3 30. Did I mention that despite starving himself my dads a doctor, not practicing but still a doctor. Also, I swear I didn't sound this preachy in the actual conversation. Just an interesting reversal of roles, me being the teenage girl and him being my wise old doctor father. In other news but the same conversation. This is directed toward my brother's school conselor. My brother told my dad a story that was taken out of contex by him and he told my mom but that not what I whant to talk about. This happened awile ago. Last year my brother intered middle school, it was a different school then all his friends but Ravy being the socail butterfly he is, it didn't bother him. So, anyway Travis "acts out" or needs to run around the building a couple of times so he can sit still. So, this consolor takes this over seriously and has all the confernces with mom and dad then tell them he needs to go on meds for adhd. She doesn't even tell them this in person she just calls them up. So, mom and dad take Ravy to the doctor, I could of told them it was a waste of time cause I have friends with adhd and I've seen them of there meds and Ravis does not act like that. So this councilor keeps on bothering and bothering him. The story he told my dad was that he had a friend thats parents had split and the councilor had bothered her so much to join a group to discuss it that her mom had to eventualy call the councallor up and tell her to leave her daughter alone. Now that I wright it down it doesn't seem that bad but at the time it infuriated me. Oh, another thing no one told my brother they were considering putting him on meds. Not the councilor, not my parents, not the doctor. He didn't find out for months, I knew before him. Well thats it for now, allways nice to get my thoughts out there.
