They drove me nuts
Its worse than I could've possibly imagined. So they arrive here. After dropping off thier stuff, they open our fridge, closets and cabinets.Though it wasn't something I didn't expect. They even smelled the closet and the clothes inside. That I didn't expect. That wasn't too bad though. The problems started when they had a constant, and I mean really, really, mean constent insults of me. And that is just what I had translated. Sometimes, Michelle wouldn't even translate it. Almost every time in the car, they would say things like, I'm Not a man. They think I'm irresponsible. They think I'm using Michelle. *for sex? they did not say* Then, what really made me mad at them was when we were eating this morning. We wanted to get a few things for the house. They were suppose to get it for us. Then they are say, "You are no good, you can't buy nothing, you need money" ANd they just kept harping on how I'm good for nothing. So I just told them, "Look, I don't need your money. Don't buy us anything OK. I could buy it myself. I don't need this" Be it as it was, the the youngest sister translated this and then they didn't want to buy the stuff.

I was fine with that. I didn't need to save a few bucks in exchange for what was an assault on everything that I am, what I'm doing and on me and Michelle. Especially since they wanted to get us second hand stuff. *of which I could afford myself* Though later, Michelle got upset because I rejected a gift that was suppose to be "symbolic " of thier lover. She said, "When your mom gives you crappy gifts, I don't insult her" I say, "Well my mom doesn't insult you and tell you how bad of a girlfriend you are for not buying me the gift." That sorta solved that.

Lucky for us though that atleast he took us to buy a laptop for Michelle before everyone got upset. *we used the money he sent earlier to buy it* It is what I am currently typing on. And its pretty kickass. Its one of those convertible table pc's. Basically, you can write on it with a stylus pen.

So I am greetful for that and I understand where her dad is coming from, just, I didn't like how he said it so insultively and repetitively. And did I mention how loud they talk?! THough when they weren't being loud, there were long periods of silence. Or when the 2 sisters of Michelle were fighting. All of which was instigated by the youngest one. Or should I say the angry one. The other one is the "sad" one. She worries about her weight too much. Its like I tried to tell her, "If a guy is with you because of your looks, he'll leave you when someone looks even better" But the bigger problem ofcourse is the placing of her personal worth on apperance. Hard not to in this culture but she must detach from that. I ofcourse can't help her unless she asks for my help, which is doubtful. She'll likely talk vaguely to Michelle, of which its her job to help her be ok with it. *though michelle isn't exactly detached herself. infact, the sister doesn't even wear makeup or anything" Its like the blind guy leading the woman who has bad vision. But I digress.
