Tatay - Tumblr Posts

02/21/21

Last night, my parents called me and my sister (who was in Manila at that time) that my dad’s family visited our house. So I was happily talking to my lola and ninang tess and I noticed that tatay (mom’s father) was there as well. His house was just beside our house so every time there’s a mini celebrations at home, tatay will be there (even though he is not invited lol). 

As I was saying bye since it is almost midnight here and I still need to take a bath, my dad playfully said to talk to tatay. I don’t like him. I don’t want to talk to him for A LOT of reasons.. mostly because of my mom. I don’t know why he hate my mom so much. I mean, she is your child. She is the only child that cares for you. She gives you meals most of the time, because you like to eat instant noodles or too lazy to cook your own meal. She always buy your maintenance medicines and arranged it in “medicine tray” so you know what will you take, when will you take it, and how will you take it. She always buy you groceries. She used to clean your house before, but she is getting tired and hired her sister-in-law to clean instead (though she still helps her most of the time). Every time she went out, she make sure that she will buy you a merienda because you are too lazy to make your own merienda. I can see all of my mom’s sacrifice, but why can’t you? Why?

Also another reason why I don’t like talking to him is he always mock me. Last night he said:

*non-verbatim*

Tatay: Ohh Ali and Abby, tapos na ang Valentine’s, ay wala pa ga? Kahina niyo ga! (Ohh Ali and Abby, Valentine’s day is over, are you still not dating anyone? You guys are weak!)

WTF?? Is it my fault that no one likes me? And how is it his concern if I am not dating anyone (I also don’t care too about it hahaha lol)? And if someone does like me, I CAN’T BECAUSE I’M TOO STRESSED TO BE DATING SOMEONE RIGHT NOW. HAHAHA lol. But seriously, hello?? I am at the other side of the world alone, no family, no relatives, no familiar faces, no friends, and you didn’t even asked how I am doing. Why I never feel a “grandfather care” from him? Sorry.
