» The passive-aggressive guilt trip
parental expectation
My dad, in his defence, doesn't usually behave like this. No matter: my university graduation ceremony was well into the working year (November) and I was working out of the country. My family (read "me") don't really go in for ceremonies and all that palaver, so I phoned the folks to let them know. Ma hid her disappointment pretty well (she's very pragmatic). I'm on a roll now, dad should be a pushover. Imagine my surprise at his statement: " But I've been waiting MY WHOLE LIFE for this day"
And who said that having an education has benefits?
