I love my mum, I really do!

But there's something that really puts me off when I talk to her. It just dawned upon me as we were conversing during the long dinner sessions during cny. Everytime we talk, somewhere, somehow, she will be able to link it back to how sad her past was. How she was suffering in the past, how poor she was. I mean we get it. We get it that you were really poor and had to suffer alot and have been through alot to get where you are today. But hearing it everytime I talk to you its just... annoying. I just want to have a normal chat with you, without hearing your sob story all over again.

And the other thing is that she's so isolated from the world, with no job for such a long period of time, and almost no social activity apart from my dad, it makes it really hard for her to understand what I'm getting at and all. Its just difficult to communicate. And maybe you're trying to look like you know what you're doing, but acting just doesn't cut it. Sometimes it just gets really really annoying :x

okay, this isn't meant to be a complain session at all. More like trying to sort out my thoughts and maybe try to be alil more understanding towards my mum. I know she really has sacrificed alot for my bro and I throughout the years and that the pain she's been through is more then some have to go through in two lifetimes.. so I really must learn to be like my Dad, I honestly don't know how he does it. Always giving in to her and able to understand her and accommodate to her.
