Conforming

In life you will conform to something; be it a group of some kind or an authority figure. For me it was the authority of my household; it was my father. With him what ever he said goes, no one could go against him. He was the head since he was the father, and the sole breadwinner of the family. The problem with him as head is that he will be force with even the smallest of things. For example, I hand to accept that he was going to buy me t-shirts. Some might think “what’s so bad about him buying you shirts?” The problem was my lack of needing new shirts. I had button up shirts and I was quite happy with them. He noticed I didn’t have any t-shirts and decided to buy me some. I specifically told him that I was fine with my button ups and I didn’t need new shirts. He immediately said “What did I jut say? I told you I’m buying you shirts, I’m buying you shirts”. I went with it and got the new shirts to not wear. I highly prefer button up shirts to t-shirts nowadays, but still got some anyways. He got upset when I didn’t wear them and even acted like I asked for it. Normally when someone asks for something like new shirts and doesn’t wear them its okay to get mad. When you buy someone shirts that they told you not to and get mad at them, that’s wrong. He still doesn’t see how its wrong for him to get at me when I told him not to buy them. To this day I still have those shirts; that money could have been used to get me more button ups. There are 6 shirts that costs 6-8 dollars per shirt. My button ups normally cost 20 dollars per short (without tax). He could have at least bought me a new button up instead of wasting the money on the shirts. He thought it was a wise financial decision to forcefully buy me t-shirts that I told him I didn’t won’t. Because he is the authority of the house, I had to conform to him and get the stupid t-shirts.
