Author's Note: The way Andy's parents treated him last night made me both mad and sad for him at the same time. This idea wouldn't leave me alone. Enjoy!


No matter how hard he tries, Andy Bernard will never be good enough for his parents. It hurts more than anything he's been through. He tries so hard to make them proud, but always fails. He had hoped becoming regional manager would thrill them, but it didn't.

Walter Junior is their favorite son, the perfect child, while Andy's just a fuck up who screws everything up. He can't help but resent his brother for that. He wants to be number one in his parents' eyes at least once.

Andy's just so tired of the pain that comes with every visit.
