bad parenting.
i was thinking about my youth.
about my first job actually. i was the janitor at our church. an older guy was doing it, and he needed help. i helped him. work was everything..including the yard work. this was at a small chinese baptist church.
got me thinking about what my siblings did..my brother had two jobs in his entire life. he worked at a carwash for ONE DAY..and he is still on his current gig..big shot in the LEO business..he will be chief one day. he is good at his job.
sister..who knows..i cant remember.
however i do remember this. i was flush with cash.."flush" as a 15 year old kid meant a few bucks in my pocket. when i started work, my mom cancelled my very meager allowance for doing things around the house. call it "walking around money".
i remember my siblings bumming out because i was buying things..and they couldnt. my mom felt bad for them and raised their allowance. hahah..
my mom has very selective memory now. i wish she could remember half this crap. i wouldnt hammer her about it..she did what she thought was right..i love and cherish her. she did GREAT as a single mom..she kept me from going feral.
but damn..that move sucked. funny
