I've been hit with this enough at times when I admit I'm tired to my dad. Nothing ruins a day more with him obviously gaslighting me for no reason... again. Here I was a day without sleep and he wants to know if I want to go to Disney, which is basically a cess pool this time of year, when all I want to do is sleep (and avoid crowds of annoying tourists of course)
He then gives me a look when I forcefully reply nothing when he asks what is wrong... Like I don't know, take a fucking guess. Don't give me that look like Im in some damn bratty mood.
This isn't the first time he guilted and invalidated me anyway. I wanted to come home early from eating out/ shopping on a school night because he takes forever to leave and his response is something along the lines of "I want sleep too" and he acted like I was going to take his sleep like I was the one making him go out late... no sweetie going out early is supposed to give you time to sleep, not less (instead of establishing a steady schedule so he gets more than 3 hours of sleep like a responsible adult he is supposed to be)
So basically what I get from this: my dad's tiredness invalidates mine, I'm not allowed to feel tired or complain, I'm not supposed to sleep in class or get bad grades but he is fine with going out late anyway.
