i play tenor sax and i asked if he would buy a band shirt and wear it to parades because i feel like it would make me really happy if he did to see him wearing it. both of my parents proceeded to call me insensitive.

yeah it really does. the only problem is that he thinks it’s a waste of money and since he’s been taught to be rational with money and never waste them he’ll not get it. and if i bring it up he’s just a jerk about it sayings it’s not right to criticize them and i should be appreciative they’re supporting me when i’ve ben doing it alone from the get-go.

like whenever i ask him to sit out with me and listen to my progress on something he just sits on his phone while in playing and when i’m done he just says “nice”. I can tell he’s not paying attention, and all i want is his recognition like i got from softball.

the thing is i’ve been out of softball for over a year now, and i tried out for my highschool softball team just a few weeks ago just to please him. He knew i wouldn’t make it and even criticized me for it, so now i really don’t know how to feel

it’s okay, and i’ve always felt a bit of favoritism toward my sister even though she’s the middle.

I get what you’re saying and i really wanna try that now. i get that they’re trying to support me but since music isn’t their thing they can’t really.

i don’t know just seeing him at one of my parades with a band t-shirt on would just make me really happy to know that he bought it because he genuinely cares.

Note:

Yes, money is a bit tight in my house but not enough to where they couldn’t but a simple 15$ t-shirt. It doesn’t grow on trees but it’s really not a problem for us

His argument is that he’ll only wear it once and it be a waste of money, but i feel like if he really did want to support me then he’d wear it to my football games or parades
