Easter/Photography Day/Fly A Kite Day

I've had it enough of my parents and their nonsense. How dare they say they didn't stop me from going for YE when they refused to let me take a taxi home, knowing full well that it was the only way I could get ready and be in church on time. The sheer audacity of claiming a clear conscience on the matter galls me. I refused to be hurried into leaving the house with them. What the hell does "Attend YE from 2.30 pm onwards" mean? It's not like some hotel you can check in and out as and when you like! I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that statement. God knows how hard I try to be on time every week, and here are my parents, blithely telling me to come along and implying that it's okay to be late. What irks me is the utter lack of understanding this betrays on their part. Can't they try for once just to see things from my point of view, instead of acting as if they know best all the time? Damn it, it's not like I'm asking for a lot, just money for a taxi fare would have earned them my goodwill and made everyone happier. (Pareto improvement!) Instead, they had to insist on their way. It's obvious that they never considered that I would go to YE, as their SMSes reveal very clearly. I am damn freaking mad at them, and they aren't even around so I can scream at them and get my viewpoint into their heads. Why must my parents be like this whenever it comes to church stuff? Always this half-hearted acceptance, never wholly supportive of my choices, but yet faulting me when I question them in returh. Why me?
