It seems like a stupid little thing but I'm actually happy with myself for it. I normally just avoid these things and then come and say how mad I am on here. I didn't do it in a childish way either, I just said what I thought and as apparently he "couldn't be bothered to start this" he didn't answer. I.e I won the argument.
Explanation?
John accidently broke something in the kitchen, one of the cuboard doors fell off, it's been breaking for a while. And he said that he was really sorry and stuff and then Hugh says "Yes well sorry isn't good enough is it?" then goes off to look at it. Mum evilled him but obviously wasn't going to say anything. She just got John to come over to where we were sitting and told him quietly that sorry WAS good enough and to ignore Hugh in everything he had said and would say from then on. Rather than saying something to Hugh when it happened. So when he came back into the room I basically went over to him, close to him actually, stood in front of him and said You Shouldn't Have Said That then of course mum was trying to get me to be quiet but I said it again, and then I said if anything it was HIM who should be apologising and he can't say things like that.
And this is the girl who never says anything. I don't know why I did really, I'm normally too scared to be rude to people or anything like that. I think it's partly because the chav girls have been mean to me a couple of times in the last couple of days aswell, making comments about the fact that I don't talk much and such. I.e they don't know me and haven't bothered to get to know me so have no right to say that. (Obviously I didn't say this to them though - I don't want my face kicked in).
It feels good to say something. Rather than have to say something to someone else, or basically say what I'm annoyed about on here. Because I don't see why he should be able to say that, I can't stand it when people talk to me in the way that he spoke to John and I don't see why he should be allowed. He isn't our dad, he had that oppertunity and he's made it pretty obvious on several occaisions that he wants nothing to do with raising us, or helping us with anything. Or whatever dad's are supposed to do. I don't actually know what that is.
But yeah. I stood up to him.
Haha.
Ha.
Yay.
This will sound completely stupid to everyone else in the universe, but there's so many times in a day when I something will happen and I think I could have said something, it might have caused an argument but it would be nice to get my point of view across. I always act it out in my head afterwards, how it would of gone if I had of said something. Then obviously the promising myself that I'd say something next time, if that situation ever came again.
I don't really expect anyone to get that but.. just don't take the mick out of it. Even if it's in your head. I'm sick of people that don't know me thinking that they can just sum up my whole life in one mean comment, just because they know I'm never going to stick up for myself.
Why is it some people are able to do that, and others (people like me) just have to sit back and take it?
