expectations
have you ever expected something to be so different than what it turned out to be? in my book, Auden goes to spend the summer with her dad and new step mom and baby sister. she wanted so bad for her dad to change, but once getting there, she found out that he had not changed at all, and for the first time, she acctually cared that he didnt spend much time with her. would you be as dissappointed as she is?

No. I am pretty use to dissappointment that someting, like someone not spending time with me, does not really effect me very much. If my dad did not want to spend time with me (which he wanted to constantly so I never had to go threw that) then I would just be like your loss. If I was her though I would pack up and go back to my mothers house because why be miserable for the rest of the summer?
ReplyDeleteI would probably be a little disappointed, just because if my father invited me to spend the summer with him and his family then I would feel like he wanted me there and of course I would expect him to spend time with me...but if he had never spent time with me to begin with then I wouldn't expect things to suddenly change. It wouldn't be a big deal to me because if I had never experienced things the other way then I would have no reason to expect things to change in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI definitelty wouldn't be as disappointed because at this point I wouldn't have very high expectations. When you have to deal with disappointment so often you just get used to it and you just no longer expect as much from people. It's just like not being surprised when the weatherman is wrong, it happens so often you're just used to it by now. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't be hurt by his continued lack of attention but I wouldn't let whether or not I had a good summer depend on my dad's attentiveness.
