I just don't understand why

Mar 05, 2010 19:14

If I had known that my stepfather would take issue with where I sat at the table tonight, I would have moved from the seat I had been occupying for the better part of two hours. I'm sorry, but I didn't realize we had to sit in certain seats, or that if I sat in his usual seat that he would call me hypocritical ( Read more... )

It really seems supremely unfair that you have to put up with this kind of behavior, and I'm so sorry you do. Aren't you all adults? I don't know how you manage it with such unfailing good grace.

Well, I think this illustrates why my stepfather and I don't talk. Like ever. I think it's possible to count the number of exchanges we have a month on one hand. And we live in the same house.

I'm sorry you had to deal with this kind of kids behavior from someone that is supposed to be an adult, Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, I don't see why he couldn't have asked you to move. Grown ups use their words. That's beyond ridiculous to make such a big deal out of a seat.

I offered to move when he started talking how I was sitting in his usual spot. He was like "No, it's fine, I was just pointing out the hypocrisy," which made no sense to me because I've never said to him, "No, you can't sit in that chair, it's mine." Yes, we tend to sit in the same spots on the few occasions we do eat together, but I didn't think that meant we were limited to a particular seat.

Adults acting like children FTW! ::hugs:: That's crap to put up with.

I agree, but it's not like I can say anything to him. Even if I said something to my mother, nothing could change. He behaves how he wants to.

He can be very childish sometimes, for an adult. My grandmother gave him a birthday gift back in January, and he still hasn't thanked her for it. He just won't. So it seems that he doesn't care how he comes off to me or my family.
