A New Year's Review

A new year, and some things that have happened recently:

1. Dad got angry at me for giving him a Christmas gift with 3 cats in a tub; one covering it ears, another eyes, another mouth. "Don't want to talk to you, listen to you, even look at you" was the message he thought I was sending. "So insulting. Is this what I brought him up to do?" was what he thought of me.
2. Alfred came home late after me telling him specifically not to. "Why did you disobey us?" I asked. "No reason". Told him, 1. Be respectful. Don't turn away when people are addressing you. 2. Never break your promise. 3. We care. He's still not home again tonight. I wonder what to do with him.
3. CJC kinda sucks. Still finding my footing. Hope it turns out better.
