Even after all of these years, it gets me that my dad was far stricter with me than he's being with my sister. This is how it goes with my family now, my mom can pretty much do whatever she wants to do---within in reason----like for example if she doesn't want to do something--like covering for example she doesn't have to because my dad is not going to make her---because he cares more about her feelings than about doing what's righ, so now sense she doesn't cover---my dad can't use her as an excuse to make my sister cover---that's the excuse my dad would give me, but I was still expected to cover even if my mom wasn't around, whereas my sister is not expected to cover, even when my mom is around---of course that's because my mom doesn't cover. At times I wish I had the same freedoms that my mom and sister have---not that I would nessiarly take them, but to do know that you have them is a good feeling.
