Now that you told the story, i have one myself.
To start off, I will tell you I have 3 younger brothers, and 2 dogs. Recently, my dad's lawfirm was broken apart, and ended. He was a partial owner of this lawfirm. But then, other partial owners took alot of money and gambled. They lost, alot of money. So the lawfirm could not pay the rent and broke apart. Now, my dad works at a lawfirm in Pennsylvania (I live in NJ) that doesn't even pay half of his his ealier paycheck at his other lawfirm. Now, my mom is basicly holding up the family. She is an interior designer.
We spend about 200 dolllars a week for babysitting (my mom doesn't trust me to babysit).
We have small, cheap meals every day. We never drink bottled water, only tap from the kitchen sink. I have a little bowl of cerial for breakfast, and i normally have pasta for dinner. We had to switch healthcare plans. We don't have many benifits at all. We sleep in our 90 degree house, no air conditioning. My bed squeeks, with my feet dangling off at the end.
My mom keeps cathing my dad going off at night, buying vodka. The last time thing happened, on the 4th of July, (figures) my dad went off when my mom was working at about 8. I didn't know that he left because i was in my room playing Blockland. My brothers didn't say anything. So then my dad gets back, and my mom gets back about a 1/2 an hour later. 11:00 pm, my mom finds a gatorade bottle in our bathroom. She takes a sip, and figures out its vodka. Honsetly, i think they were going to get divoreced, they have so many fights.
The next morning, my dad is on the couch, and i come downstairs to find him there. about 20 minutes later, i ask where the milk is, and he says, in the golf hole. I say, what? Then he says, the dogs will get it for you. Next thing you know, he is on the ground mumbling things i didn't understand.
I'm seriously worried. I am also thank full, that we are able to pay for our internet.
