I know I complain about my parents a lot. But I need to let off some steam.  My normal computer (the "sims" one) is not available so I'm using one in the house's library. Well I have two lamps on up here. But I also need a third one to be on  when its darker so I'm able to go down and come up the library stairs after turning off the desk lamp and the lamp at the end of Mom's "bed" (aka the couch) without killing myself. Fan Light, light with switch outside the door, or the two way normal staircase (the one to go up to the bedrooms or to go down to the hall) light are the three options for Dad. Number 1, the fan light isn't an option (because in Canada it's too expensive to replace).  and Number 3 isn't an option probably either.  So that leaves option 2. But Dad doesn't want to have all three lamps (the desk lamp, lamp behind me/at end of Mom's bed) plus the lamp with switch outside the door all on at the same time. I have Mom's permission to have three lamps to be on at the same time. So I'm able to turn off the in-library lamps and go down for supper.  I tried to talk to Dad about it but he said "We will talk about it at supper with Mom". It pointless to discuss it with Mom since she already said to me she allows lamp the  3 lamps  to be on. He also says "Why can't you just go down the stairs turn on light with switch outside the door and then backtrack up into the library to turn off other two lamps?" Because I might need to pour drinks RIGHT AWAY! So I have no time to do such a thing-I mean if I tried to do it that way. They would be sitting down to supper waiting for me to get downstairs and have no drinks yet!

Sounds very conflicting in regards to your Dad. I suggest maybe trying a different approach and ask your Mom to discuss this with your Dad and maybe she can get him to understand your need for the three lights. Don't feel bad, I live with my sister currently and she is picky about lights also! Total pain in the ass, not her!!...just the situation, but hopefully I will be back in my OWN place by the first of December!! Yay!!

Dad and I had yet another argument. Ever since I can remember I get pretty nasty cold sores. So Dad's doctor prescibes a pill  for me. Well I had one since Wednesday and I been taking a cold sore pill since then. Dad asked if I had taken one today. I really do not need a 2nd parent on my case, one (mom) being on my case is more then enough so I shouted and cursed at him. Which I know isn't apporite for a woman in her 20s but I don't want another parent to be on my case and what is worse is that Dad didn't even noticed the cold sore till Saturday when I had it for like three days by then!

Later:
Got back from the group thing in next town and I TRIED to help Dad move a ladder up, but I was loosing my balance on the driveway so the ladder was getting away from me (all I was suppose to be doing was have my foot on the bottom rung). I mean we live near the bottom of a HILL and the driveway is a HILL in itself. Dad shouldn't talk to ME about respecting other people when he can be a brat himself to ME. Why should I help him when he was yelling at me?
