My mother and I are staying at home instead of going to my aunt’s pool party today.
Why?
Well due to one of my car’s turn signals being broken my mother though it best to not have me drive it to one of my aunt’s houses(this aunt was supposed to be our ride for the pool party.) “Why couldn’t you have driven it anyway?” you might ask. Well, I haven’t driven for a year due to having no insurance/being at school. So instead of risking it and going ahead driving and signalling turns with my hand, I decided not to risk and just ask the aunt who was going to take us anyway to come pick us up. I hadn’t driven in a year and didn’t want to risk anything, so asking for a ride seemed like a good idea. She wouldn’t take us, and still expected me to drive to her house even though my mom and I were against it. She’s only a 10 minute drive away, so distance isn’t a problem. So now we’re spending today at home instead of with our family, next to a pool, and with a great dinner ahead of us.
Could someone please tell me why I feel like I’m being punished when I try to make a good choice? This seems to happen ALL THE TIME. I’m sick of it!
