So, I'm on holiday right now ((aka long days of binge watching youtube videos and not leaving the house)). Like three days ago, my mum told me to do the dishes.

"Ok, I'll do them in a minute, I just need to finish watching the new Dan and Phil sims episode."

And then suddenly, the video starts buffering, and I'm like what? I'm practically sitting on top of the wifi router so what is happening?

So, I look over, and see the biggest shit-eating grin on my mum's face. "I told you to do the dishes."

I'm like ok, gotta take a deep breath, stay calm, it's going to be--

MUM WHAT THE FUCK, I ALREADY SAID I'D DO THEM, WTF DOES IT MATTER IF I DO THEM NOW OR IN TWO MINUTES?????

But, no, I'm a good girl. I ignore the fact that I'm missing Dan and Phil fawning over Dil and Tabitha and go and scrub like fucking Cinderella.

BUT AFTER I'VE DONE THE DISHES, I GO TO TURN THE WIFI ROUTER BACK ON, BUT THE ROOM IS FUCKING LOCKED???

"Mum, why did you lock the room?"

"So you learn your lesson."

FUCK OFF, NO.

KILLING YOUR CHILD WILL NOT TEACH THEM ANYTHING.

I read on the internet, I write on the internet, I interact on the internet, I make friends on the internet. How do you expect me to survive?

I need to check my Wattpad notifications at least 6 times an hour, because like I'm so thirsty for votes and comments, I thought you understood?

Also, I get genuinely anxious about losing my Snapchat streaks. I've had nightmares about losing my streaks and my friends not talking to me anymore.

Also, what the fuck do you expect me to do for the rest of the day?

"When I was your age, I actually did something with my life."

YES BUT THAT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME, IF THE INTERNET EXISTED, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE DONE SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE.

"Why don't you see if you can do something with your friends?"

BRO, I DON'T DO LAST MINUTE PLANS, I NEED AT LEAST TWO DAYS TO PREPARE. AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO TALK TO THEM ON? YOU CAN'T MAKE TEXT GROUP CHATS??

"Ok, well, I'm just going to my room."

Ok, fine, just ignore your dying daughter, whatever. So, I'm drifting aimlessly around the house, because I literally don't know what to do. I go into my mum's room--

AND SHE'S FUCKING ON FACEBOOK. ((no you dirty minded shits))

MATE, YOU LITERALLY JUST SAID YOU DON'T NEED THE INTERNET? OF COURSE, SHE HAS UNLIMITED DATA, SO THE WIFI BEING OFF DOESN'T INCONVENIENCE HER IN ANY WAY.

Sigh.

Deep breath, count to ten in your head.

"Mum, what the hell?"

"Oh, I'm just talking your auntie. It's really important, I swear."

YEAH RIGHT MUM. I SAW YOU LIKING THOSE HOME DECOR IDEAS.

...

Anyway, I'm just really stressed recently. She turns it off at night now too.

I don't understand.

Send help.
