Ugh! Dad is getting on my nerves!

Arrg! I'm getting really annoyed with my dad.
The other day I bought this little thing and it had this poem on it called To Nana. I read it to dad and instead of saying 'Oh that's lovely' or 'Very nice', he said 'What Nana? I thought your Nana was dead.'1

!!!!!2

I was really sad!
And he rung me up to ask me what I wanted for xmas. I said I wanted this book, and he said 'Well, I'll end up getting the wrong one so I'll just get your mother to buy the stuff and I'll pay her back.'3

!!! That's just as bad as what he did last year: he took me to the shops and made me choose out everything!4

He doesn't even care about anything I do. When I go up there and begin to tell him stuff about what's happening at school etc, he'll say something like 'Ok. Whatever. Well we need to ......'5

And it doesn't even matter that I'm writing this on here for everyone to see, because he is so lazy and doesn't care enough to look on here and read my work.6

Now, some of you might think that he might not actually be that bad, or that I am just focusing on the bad points, but trust me, you haven't met him. All he cares about is spending money!!! Ugh!7

For example, he is buying my sister a new thousand dollar phone for her birthday, not that she needs one, and he wanted to buy me one. I said 'I don't want one and I don't need one. There's nothing wrong with my current phone.' I eventually got mnyself out of it.8

Some of the other things he has bought me that I never asked for:
a nintendo
a laptop
a phone
a portable dvd player
new nintendo games9

My friend said that he just buys these things because he cares about me but thats not it. I don't even remember the last time I even got a hug from him. 10

Anyway, I'm really angry at him now. Thanks for anyone who read this. Not very many people read my journals, so its nice to see somebody actually cares about whats going on in my life

    I knew a little girl named Eva who had this problem. She's only nine, and her mother is in a wheel chair and her parents are divorced. I counciled her at a day camp and she always told me about how her dad got her anything she wanted, but he didn't love her. She said she'd rather have him love her. YOU'VE INSPIRED ME! I just got a story idea, but all that is true. Don't be too hard on yourself. You've got friends that care about ya.

    I got up and watched TV. Then I got ready to go and play next door. Blake taught me how to play the piano. Bianca wanted to go shopping and I did a bit, so mum said if we help her get all the housework done, then we can go shopping in the afternoon. Blake helped me with the dusting and I swept the veranda. Mum wash

  • When She Left
    I was sitting in the big room, playing with my Lego. Mum comes in to talk to me. “How’s Nana going?” I asked. Mum eyes started to fill with tears. “Well...not very well. She passed away last night.” My heart skipped a few beats. She’s gone. I’ll never ever see her again

    Dear Nana. What’s it like up in heaven? I’m guessing it’s like a paradise! A few things have happened and I thought I’d better tell you about them! We went on a holiday to South Australia just recently. It was really good! We went to Kangaroo Island and visited a Honey Farm which was really cool! You could buy lot

    My first day of school was the start of a new experience. I had to get up really early, which definitely wasn’t fun! I put my uniform on. Not too shabby! I finished getting ready and my mum waited at the bus stop with me. I wasn’t used to catching the bus and it was a bit daunting for me. So here I was. Standing squ
