i can't do that
i can already hear her yelling-
"i work my butt off every day just to keep you ungrateful children fed!"
"you're old enough to do your own school, i've given you all the lessons, it's not my fault you're too lazy to complete them."
"i'm not neglecting you by having coffee, for god's sake!"
and if she found out you guys encouraged me
i'd probably never be able to speak to you again…
i'd just be even more alone
…there are so many ways this could go wrong and not one that could go right…
i can't do this
Yeah. Sometimes moms don't listen, or get angry when you bring up valid points.
Can you try and convince her to let you take a couple of classes at a school near you? Or your siblings? School sucks sometimes, but also helps you learn really important social skills and you can learn more than you would by yourself. And taking some classes is a sort of compromise
You have every right to be angry, and you're not being ungrateful. You deserve to be properly taught and properly taken care of. Your mom is probably trying her best (probably. maybe) but you can't "homeschool" that many kids and give them a proper education.
So, I just spent 70 bucks on books
But on the plus side, I completed my SJM collection (save for Catwoman. I ain't ever gonna get that) and got King of Scars
Sadly, the King of Scars cover is damaged
BUT that's because I sacrificed quality over snatching the only signed copy of that book
I'd like to be rude to all the people that say "wow I can't believe I haven't seen you for a decade"
Screw you because that's dumb and not how that works. You haven't seen us THIS decade not FOR a decade we saw each other last week dumbass
my mom is cookin' something with a real strange smell y'all

I get it's supposed to be a joke, but not only is it a stupid joke, you're also doing it wrong

My KoS was damaged too! Where'd you get it? I got mine at Barnes and Noble.

Update: It was pork.
I silently ate my salad and sighed in vegetarian.

Eyyyy– catwoman was actually really good. One of the best in that series I would say

I got mine at Barnes and Noble as well! I found a stack of KoS books, but none of them were signed, so I compromised. If I'm paying 20 bucks, I'm gonna pay for the slightly ripped but signed one.

I'm just not a huge fan of all the superheroes and whatnot? I dunno, I don't have a desire to read it, however much I love SJM
I can understand that. I wasn't a fan of the idea until Jay bought me the Batman book. I had to read it then you know? I was pleasantly surprised enough to get the others.
i can't do that

Somehow just now saw this
The only classes she’d be willing to take me to are art classes, and she’s already signed me up for a few one-day things. Any other school she dislikes strongly because the children are misbehaved and she doesn’t want us learning about/believing in any bad, not-very-Catholic things such as swear words and the existence of not straight people
* gasps in ignorant *
…so yeah that won’t work
And it is technically possible to homeschool that many children, my best friend’s family is homeschooled, they have the same amount of children all the same distance apart, each child has a complete education along with social activities, and they’re all really intelligent
So my mom sees families like them and thinks she’s capable of doing it as well, even though she really isn’t-
And that’s why we’re still in this mess
She wants us to be good, happy, Catholic children, and she’s worried that if she puts us in a public school we might abandon our faith, which would just absolutely crush her soul into a million little pieces-
So she sets these unrealistic goals for herself to teach us absolutely everything in the most CatholicTM way while also fitting in social activities/clubs/meetings/classes/etc, gets overwhelmed a few months in, and gives up, leaving us completely educationless and without anyone to talk to for the next 11 months until the same thing starts over again…
She really is trying, she’s just trying too hard, and then not enough, and she doesn’t know how to fix it.
I don’t even know how to fix it
Everything’s a mess
Ah I see, she’s set up unrealistic expectations.
not the gays!
That… is tricky. Idek what I would do in your situation except keep asking and keep assuring her that you would still stay catholic. Maybe make it a point to have conversations about faith with her? (Idk what kind of conversation that would be, Catholicism is pretty different from Christianity)
Sorry, that’s all I got kiddo
Catholicism is pretty different from Christianity
…..As a graduated RE student, I'm going to keep my comments to myself..
since it's the new year does that mean me rp buddy will return??? I'm so hella impatient.
He said he’d be back after New Years? Not sure when after, but if it’s not soon I’m suing his mom
Taco Bell does breakfast?????
No but they do crackheads
His mom should be sued just in general
Also, I have to wear leggings under my pants because they have holes in them and I refuse to put duct tape over them and ruin my cute outfit by making myself look homeless. I don't appreciate this extra layer of clothing
Oof.. you’ve just reminded me that when I wear my work trousers I have like the thicccccest thighs going, especially when I’m crouched down
I don’t even need a work uniform for that
Just an unhealthy amount of time spent being Big Lazy and eating too many food

The bottom of mine was all smashed up :(
Only time I've gotten a damaged book from them.
The DC Icons books are getting graphic novels (at least the Batman and Wonder Woman ones, idk about Catwoman and Superman since those two came out later)
