my dads being a greedy asshole, or something.

i started making these little weird cat looking creatures for me and my friends with needle felting. i thought it was a silly little idea and i was feeling quite happy with myself. i like making these little weird creatures, and sharing the joy of them with others makes me feel good.

i tell my dad this, just getting back from my moms. he’s the one buying all of this for me because he has quite a bit of money. he says i should start selling them for money. i had recently started to look into getting a job, so it sort of made sense. but i said no, i like doing this for free. i explained that this is my art, my little hobby and that the joy that i get from giving them to others is my payment. he laughed at me and said something along the lines of: “ you’re not going to get very far with that mentality.” this kind of made me pissed, i don’t tell him a lot and whenever i do he starts arguing with me over it.. 

anyways

i don’t want to hear this. it’s pissing me off, i had already vaguely thought of selling them, but i thought it was stupid. he kept trying to persist, saying how i needed to think about it. he said that i could use the money from it to buy the wool i need. which is, yk, reasonable. but he implied that he wanted money from this. 

…….

WHAT THE FUCK. ok yeah, dude. you want some fucking highschoolers money. you make over 100k A YEAR! than tried to be liek “oh that adds up!” (price) and like, dude. i don’t need to constantly buy fucking wool. he says to “not shut it down so quickly and say i’ll think about it.” i ask: “yeah but i wont actually think about it.” he’s says im thick skulled, stupid and that i don’t think.

so i blurt out, to kind of piss him off: “what, so i can’t just be kind?” he goes on this big big rant about how i don’t think, how stupid i am, how i don’t listen to others… i ignore all of it and just eat my sushi. i reply after this dudes 3 minute fucking rant with “i’ll think about it.” he didn’t even ask a question, i just blatantly responded with it. he took it as an actual response and said it was better. i said it was sarcasm and he didn’t respond.
