I don't want to say hate because hate is a strong word. So i just dislike her.

She's making me and my lil sis quit dancing.
Why?
Because 1) she doesn't have enough money to pay for all the classes and 2) because she wants us to be in my church's youth choir.

She doesn't have enough money because her stupid a** wastes it on buying houses in Philadelphia that nobody pays rent to and planning trips to London, Paris, and Rome for her 50th birthday.

She also doesn't want the people in the church asking why we don't go to choir rehearsal. She cares too much about what they could be saying about her. But how hard is it to say to them that we are at dance school. And besides some of those kids have no business singing in the choir. They don't do it because they want to they do it because their parents force them to. And I'm much more pure than some of those kids in the choir. My relationship with God is none of her business. As long as I love God and Jesus in my heart and I pray everyday then I'm fine. I don't need to be in some hypocritical choir.

I've been dancing for 11 years. And this would have been my lil sis' 10th year dancing if my mom wasn't being a loser. She says dancing does nothing for us. It keeps me in shape and its something i really enjoy. In fact she was the one who made us start dancing because she didn't want us at home doing nothing.

She doesn't understand that when she forces her will onto her children she screws up their lives. My older older brother wanted to go to college for computer graphic designing but my mom said no. She told him to do something else. He did that something else and 6 years later he's still in college trying to pass his classes. My other older brother played football in high school. He was really good at it he almost broke the school record for most QB tackles, but my mom made him quit because he got home too late. And now 6 years later he's got a beer gut and still in college trying to figure out what he wants to do.

She's too stubborn to reason with and i don't have the energy to argue with her. So I guess this the point in my life where my screws me over. And this is why I dislike her.

Edit: And she's sexist! She's one of those old fashioned people from Haiti who think that guys can do nothing but the girls have to cook and clean. So guess what she's forcing me to do now. COOK AND DO THE LAUNDRY! scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream I'm sixteen years old taking all honor classes and doing three sports. Can she just leave me alone! My brothers go to school twice a week, work, and then they either stay home and play video games or they go out partying. scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream

The only reason why I put up with her is because she gives me a roof over my head, food, clothes, and mostly because it says to in the bible.
