got chased away from the living room, again, because I asked if I could put something else on instead of listening to d*tton whinging about his nuclear power 'plan', and thus got told 'it's only for a few minutes' 'there's multiple topics in this programme' 'I we want to watch what's on next [in nearly half an hour] anyway' which I will continue on about in the tags inevitably but my m*ther accidentally did revenge for me by dousing her dessert in cream that expired a fortnight ago (which I suspect was kept because my grandmother doesn't have any rhyme or reason to what she keeps in the fridge, especially with dairy products. expiry dates are up for interpretation!)
#anyway like. if on the rare occasion I'm watching something during the day either the remote gets snatched off of me or#I get pestered into giving up watching what I've been. except if I do that I get yelled at. so I have to ask.#which if it wasn't a massive double standard I'd not mind btw. it's the principle of the matter#except I ask and get told that I can't! I have to sit in silence focusing on something I do not want to of an evening#and I mean. when it IS my turn to have the television as it was on friday. if there's even the slightest delay 'choose something else'#aka 'choose something /I/ want' like you could tell by the way she suggested it#which I guess is the pestering tactic. isn't it.#I wanna watch something of an evening on the television? no! because despite the fact she has control over the television from#nine o'clock til midnight she has to watch this one programme as it airs despite the fact she could watch it the next day on iview!#it's just a part of her sticking her fingers in her ears and refusing to acknowledge her part to play in making this house liveable#she's the only one in charge of that television. won't let us work towards making the other one an option again. it continues#anyway also dates on food are a joke to her. clearly says 'use by' a date that's well over a week past? 'it's still fine keep it'#mouldy vegetables that can't be salvaged? 'just wash it off it's fine'. bottle of sesame oil that has 'best before october' and it's april?#'bin it it's expired'. lettuce bought two days earlier? 'it's been in the fridge for three weeks it's rotting!'#she also apparently thinks cleaning the fridge is just binning what's 'gone off' (as evidenced above) and not. actually cleaning it.#who knows how long it'd been before when I cleaned it? I might do that again soon tbh
