It has been a while. This past week has been stressful, and I have no doubt next week will be the same and probably worse. Rodrigo's dad has been out of town for a business trip. Leaving Rodrigo the "man" of the house. Meaning that Rodrigo is his mother's slave. Since Ema does not have a driver's license, she has to rely on Rodrigo, which would be fine, but she never asks if we have plans. She pretty much makes it so that whatever Rodrigo has to do is not important. Last night we were on our way back from picking her up at Mami's house and Rodrigo told her that he can't pick her up tomorrow because we have plans. That is where all hell broke loose. She flipped out! She actually got mad because one day, one day out of the last week and some, we can't pick her up. And then when she asked what our plans were she acted like the weren't even planned. Like we made them up so that we didn't have to go and get her. On the side of that, she tried to make Rodrigo feel guilty and give in by saying, "well fine, we'll just have to take the bus, the very packed and dangerous bus...UGH! Rodrigo told her that he can bring her back from Mami's at 1:30, and that was the ONLY time that he can go. Then she got pissed and said that she wants to be picked up at 2pm. Well, that doesn't work. This living with the in-laws thing is really starting to suck. We can't plan on doing anything ever because at the last second, Ema or Rocio will say that they need a ride. Its one thing to ask is he can pick them up or ask if he can bring them somewhere, but its a whole different story when they start telling him that he has to do it. Rodrigo driving should be seen as a favor, now it is more like an obligation. He is required to drop his whole life to do what they want him to do. I don't understand why she is so selfish that she doesn't even think that maybe Rodrigo has plans, she doesn't even care! I can completely see where Rodrigo gets his selfishness now. I just pray to God that he doesn't become that selfish. I also thank God that my mother has a driver's license, and that she acts like more of an adult than I do!! Thanks Mom!! It is so hard for me to understand why Ema has to go to her mother's house every single day! If I was in MN, I'm very sure that I or my mom would get sick of seeing each other if I went there every single day! I need a break from this effed up lifestyle!! I really can't wait until I am back in MN for a week in July, and the day I pack ALL of my stuff and go home in December with Rodrigo will be the best day of the whole year!!
Now that I am done ranting, I hope you all have a nice weekend!!
