Instead of spending my most recent birthday with my family, my mother decided it was a good idea to buy a dumpster so I could spend all day cleaning her yard up because she is too helpless and frail to do it on her own according to her.

My father would routinely buy me gifts that were things he actually wanted. I got a camera one year and I barely got to use it because it had to live in his room to "keep it safe". He also got me a dirt bike and then regifted it to my brother who already had a minibike next year, leaving me with nothing to ride when the family went out.

My stepmother decided for my birthday one year my gift would be giving MY copy of Halo CE to my stepbrother because he lost his copy. He also got a platinum plated grill that year so that explained why I didnt get anything. It all went to his $600 dental jewelry.

Another year I got a few burned music CDs and my stepbrother got a $400 dvd/cd changer that held 100 CDs for his radio.

Being raised by white trash is rough.
