One of many frustrating moments was this one time i had gotten into a huge arguments with my parents. A few months ago one of my dad's co-workers invited us to stay in his cabin with him and his family, all they way in Truckee. I really don't like driving long distances because I get car sick and become extremely nauseous.
My personal opinion was that it wasn't worth all that time to drive all that way just to stay for two days. My dad was already irritating me that day, even before I said "Do I have to go?". As soon as I said that both my dad and mom started yelling at me about how "I'm ungrateful" and what not. My dad even said the "f" word, and that's when I really got upset. He has never cussed at me before and I didn't want him to start now. At that point he just thought I didn't want to spend time with the family.
Just based on how I was raised I think it is really unnecessary to use that type of language towards each other. Whether it being the child or parent, it doesn't give you a right to talk to a family member like that. So to have my hero, the one i look up to, even think about talking to me breaks my heart. I was extremely frustrated at that point because I didn't know why he was getting so upset over that little comment and that he took it the wrong way. When you are trying to explain something to someone and they're not comprehending it gets really upsetting.
It was just a frustrating moment he wasn't being reasonable, I felt he could have been more understanding when it comes to what I actually meant, which is that i get sick and I didn't think it was worth the drive. He took it as I didn't want to spend time with him and the rest of the family which defiantly was not true! I was also a little upset that my sister nor my mom didn't back me up or even try to defend me. Instead my mom made the situation worse with agreeing with my dad, while my sister just kept quiet. I felt it aggravating because I wouldn't have done that to my sister whether she was right or wrong, due to the fact that she is getting attacked by both parents.
