Ok, here's the background:
In my opinion, I think my life is pretty good. I get up around 9am everyday during the week and head to school. I usually get out around 3, sometimes 4 in the afternoon. Grab dinner before heading to work at 5, sometimes earlier and finish around 10 or 11. Saturdays and Sundays are normally slow for me. I do something spontaneously like catch a movie in the theaters and play poker game with my boys on Saturday night and work on Sunday morning starting 1am until 5am and sleep off the rest of the day. I usually hit the bunk around 2 or 3 in the morning (Except Sundays of course and yes I do realize is way pass 3 now
) Everytime I'm home, I'm always in my room in the basement doing something on the computer or watching TV in the common room in the basement alone.
Now, here's the deal: My Dad thinks that's stupid. If you have noticed by now, I don't spend time with the family, not even dinner with the family on Saturday or Sunday night. I don't see anything wrong with that, I'm not a family guy but apparently my Dad has an issue with that. He thinks that I don't spend enough time with the family. The last time I did something with them must've been my Bday which was back in early November. Clearly my relatives have done things together since then whether it'll be watching TV, having dinner together, bowling, etc. He's not too keen on the fact that I turned down a offer to go with the family for cruise vacation, even if he paid for the airline tix and other expense (I got school and work ya know?)
To add to that, he wasn't too happy about the fact that I had to turn down a request from one of his friend to help him move into his new place on Sunday morning because obviously, I had just gotten home around 6 am and haven't gotten my beauty sleep in almost 24 hours. I wouldn't mind helping his friend out but lord knows if I can handle another 12 hours of wake time doing physical labour. I might be 22 but how many 22 years old do you know that works at 1am in the morning on weekends instead of partying with friends and getting tanked?
Does anybody think that its wrong to have that kind of life style? I don't but my Dad on the other hand, does. I think he brought this up thinking that he's not gonna be able to get any of my time during Xmas, especially after telling him that I have to work on Xmas eve.
