2nd gen kids deal with too much shit

the post office line to get passport stuff done was A HUNDRED PEOPLE LONG and we waited for SIX HOURS - since FOUR AM -- we were all immigrant families trying to renew/get passports to visit vietnam, china, the philippines, india, pakistan, el salvador, mexico -- like kids skipped school to wait in line so you know it was REAL

and the post office lady was like “yeah ur not gonna be able to book an appointment until after the trump presidency lol look at this line” and it was a joke but like...she was serious .. trump has made all this more urgent 

like all these families were desperate to do this NOW and it was all very very stressful and someone was talking about her mom waiting five hours in the cold only to be rejected bc her forms were done wrong?? and i was like hyperventilating bc figuring out my family’s forms WERE SO FUCKING STRESSFUL and like ? at nine am they started telling people to go home

and ALSO WHY DOES MY FAMILY NEVER LISTEN TO ME?? i helped them with forms and translating and i was like “ok i got this” and then my mom started criticizing me like “meimei, you’re doing this all wrong, you’re gonna get rejected, your aunt is never going to get to see her dying father in indonesia” et etc and i was DYING I WAS SO STRESSED and then when i tried to listen to music to calm down (IT WAS FOUR AM) my mom was like “meimei why don’t u care about us? y dont you ever pay attention to us?” and I WAS LIKE I DO SO MUCH FOR THIS FAMILy FUCK U but actually i just started apologizing and tearing up (I WAS STRESSED, my aunt didnt even know what papers to bring, my mom forgot her ID, she had to call my dad, oh my god,) and then WHEN I TRIED TO TELL THEM THAT U CANT LIE ABOUT CITIZENSHIP (that’s literally a crime oh my god) my mom was like “well i used to lie” and i was like FUCKinggG

and i was like.......YOU CANT?? and she literally said “oh..well u can,” and i was like U CAN BUT YOU SHOULD NOT!! and she was like “well im a citizen now” and i was like NOT BECAUSE U LIED Stop telling people to LIE just because YOU NEVEER GOT CAUGHT ARE YOU FUCKingG serious 

and then when i was telling them THE LAW and like what they should/shouldnt say my mom starts CALLING MY GRANDMA in line just to tALK SHIT about me like “oh meimei is trying to stop her own aunt from getting a passport, she is telling us false information” like NO IM SO DONE IM TRYING TO HELP ALL THE TIME I LTIERAYY CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE

and then she used her rusty vietnamese to shit talk me to the family in fRONT OF US!! and tHEN!!! some whtie lady assumed she was married to the asian man behind us bc she was racist and my mom was like “did u see thath?” and i was like yyes and i would commiserate if YOU WERE SO FUCKING MEAN TO ME oh my GOD im so tired why did i think break was gonna be fine there is SO MUCH HOMEWORK i have to do and i havent done any of it oh my god fml
