Everyone says that things shouldn't make you happy. But i feel like they will?
i'm kind of miserable right now. I have family issues. I live in a family of 7. 5 kids, both parents.
long story- short-- we're living in a foreign country because my parents wanted us to experience a new culture. Just for a few years. This is our second year.
we're kind of struggling. And by that i mean i didn't get anything for my 16 birthday and my parents can't afford to get me a phone. Everyone else lives in a beautiful home. We're living in a single floor house that has a lot of problems. Back home we "struggled" just the same.
i'm feeling a lot of resentment towards my parents.
please don't be harsh, just try to understand me.
they knew when they were starting off that they did not have a lot of money. Why did they choose to have FIVE KIDS? And why do i compare out economical situation to others so much?
i have other problems with my parents. Like them not letting me date at 16. And my dad not wanting to be committed to his job, just for the sake of his family. He is ready to pack up and leave at any moment. I want to know in advance, so i can say goodbye. But no, my dad will most probably quit his job and have us move two weeks later. I have no idea how long we will stay here, because he never keeps his promises or stays with the plan. I hate that. I really hate that.
why do i feel that having more money, the iphone5s, a beautiful house, and nice clothes will solve my problems?
