Multiple arguments with Dad Friday night

So due to the fact Mom was at a dinner party it was just Dad and I at home.   It led to a lot of arguments.   Two around supper and one about my much-later snack. 

The  first argument was when Dad was asking me if I was "going to put my veggies" into my scrambled eggs.   I literally tried to tell him "I have a side Caser Salad on the table"  but he was like "YOU'RE NOT COOKING THE CASEAR SALAD!"  What I was trying to get Dad to *bacon* understand is that the veggies  (bell pepper and Zunnichi)  weren't going to be my only *bacon* veggies for my *bacon* supper!  My Mom has a saying that if there's a salad for supper I don't need to put too many veggies into the main dish or vice versa. 


The second arugment was about whether I needed to break the eggs apart or have it as an omelet sandwich.  I'm pretty sure the term "scrambled eggs" means you have to break the cooked eggs,  scrambling doesn't mean that you are mixing or beating the eggs.  So I thought for my "Western egg Sandwich" I was suppose to have scrambled eggs.    But Dad said "it would be better to have it as an omelet" (I'm not even going to get into what Mom thinks "Scrambled eggs" mean) but  I was pretty sure I needed to have it as a scrambled eggs.


As of 10:15pm Mom wasn't home yet and I get my Friday night snack ready about 10:25pm.  I normally alterative between Ice Cream and Instant Pudding.   It's Pudding week and I never made pudding by myself before- Mom does the work.     What I do know is Mom no longer puts a lid on the round container and shake the container like crazy to "make" pudding.   She instead beats it with a whisk for 3 mins.

After I got an instance Pudding mix from the basement  and got the pudding stuff together like instructions say and   I asked Dad to beat it and first we had an argument about if I should put the "topping' on and shake it kind of like a Pudding version of Dairy Queen's Blizzard or some other Ice cream mix-in but with pudding and not ice cream.   I told Dad's that's for the topping.   

Then the next argument was "it would be batter to be shaken not stirred"  and I said "I would like to do it Mom's way.   Then after I got a spoon so I could eat the pudding after I put it into two different containers (a bowl for me to eat last night, and a container for another day)  he was like "I ASKED YOU TO GET ME A LID!"  I then told Dad to forget about it and I would take over.   And I just finished it and putting it into the bowl and leftovers into the other container when Mom got in.  


And when I was clearing up after my supper (Dad had his own supper)  I was asking him his thoughts about a potential "one week disabled summer camp"  and he thought it was interesting except for the cost of it $800 but hey 3 meals/per day for the full four days're there plus lunch and  supper on the Monday, and breakfast and lunch on Friday +snacks and drinks,  and the bus pass you have to use during the time period.   Not sure about tickets for movie theatres.    And there's also is Over night staff as well.    You also have to take with you $100 in cash for budgeting and using them during the acitviies (ie: movie theatre snacks)

@Disneywoman It sounds to me like, you and your dad could use a break. A camping trip sounds nice, if you can afford to go. I went to a camp, when I was younger and had a lot of fun. I hope you can find some way to go. Maybe do some checking around, to see if you find a cheaper camp. I went to an Easterseals camp. I am not sure, if they still have them. I know they use to have chapters in Canada, not sure if they still do. I am in the United States of America, and the last time I checked, our Easter seals, were still around. Easter seals, provide services for those who are disabled. Camps were a part of it among other programs and services.

I hope I was some what helpful for you.

Have a wonderful day.

There's is Easterseals here.  But I don't want to go to a "normal camp"   I want to go to a camp for disabled people.  This "disabled summer camp" I'm talking about gives you indepdent living skills as a disabled adult over the age of 18.

According to the brochure from this year:

"The highlights of this sought after program are promotion of skill development in the following areas: meal planning and prep, budgeting, shopping, using public transit, community awareness/safety, personal wellness, social skill development and so much more!"


Not to mention if you need help with the toilet they "disabled summer camp" give that to you.  I don't think they would do something w/ Easter Seals.
