[quote=Anonymous]I could tell my parents prioritized work, 100%.

The strangest part about that is that I was a fully planned child.

Yet I would be forced to go to school sick, because neither wanted to miss work. I was sent to school with the chicken pox. My mom sent me, telling me to tell them it was mosquito bites if they asked! I remember sleeping in the counselor’s office in high school when I had the flu, because my parents weren’t available to pick me up. One time I threw up in the hallway in third grade and HAD to be picked up, and I recall feeling so guilty about it.

My parents never came to any school event ever. I was the kid searching out into the audience, disappointed as usual. In high school my mom came to one final performance, and then complained about it afterwards.

Logistics were always a problem. They complained constantly about who was going to watch me, or pick me up, or take me here or there, because they couldn’t miss work, HUGE assignment, whatever. I always felt like a burden and afterthought. [/quote]
