Payment for expedition is due this week, and in spite of Edusave and Internationalisation Fund helping the price to go less than $1000, which I think is bloody damn cheap for a trip to Nepal. It's a nice and happy endi... NO WAIT!
PROBLEM COMES IN!
My father refuses to give me teh munnies. Why oh why? Has our family been reduced to a state where we are unable to afford teh munnies, which has already been drastically reduced from the initial payment of around $1800?
N-O. No.
He simply does not wish to pay. Why? Because he says the reason why the teacher wants to collect this early is so that she is making things easier for herself. Uh duh? Which idiot in this world doesn't want to make things easier for his/herself? However, even if my father is backed by the ABILITY to pay, coupled with unwillingness but no choice, he still does not want to pay. He gives plenty of reasons like being unsure whether the Edusave amount that we want to deduct has been confirmed blahblahblah. You debunk one, he comes up with another. (I think I need his kind of brains for a good GP essay, plenty of points. OH WAIT! ITS ALL BULLSHIT!)
What transpires is that he is making things difficult for the teacher, for me (who is in between, naturally things are difficult for me), and of course he has to stress with my constant reminders of the need to pay. Why stress yourself so much when payment is inevitable? Oh my god I have no idea how the brains of adults work. My father gets all his useless points shot down by me, then he walks off to my mother to rant. My mother gets all her even more useless points shot down by me (she's not exactly as smart as my father), and my father comes in with the "MY SAY IS FINAL" trump card, and I am pwned.
My mother probably said a good point. "We have difficulties that you won't understand..." Well that's the function of my brain and your mouth: You explain, I comprehend. Complicated much?
I feel okay if you are able to explain why you cannot (or rather, will not) pay, but if all the reasons that they come up with are utter nonsense, and all visibly seen as the "think up for the sake of thinking up" kind, how can you expect me to be convinced?
Damn the lack of reason.
P.S. Total rant post. Just needed somewhere to write down what I feel about this issue.
