GAWD.
I am so angry, I’m crying and about to start shaking.
THANKS MUM.
The typically Asian aspects of this fricking mentality drives me nuts. WHY do Asian parents only know how to focus on the negatives and NEVER emphasize on the positives?
Do you honestly think it was only important when we were too young to understand, and not anymore now that the words you speak actually make sense to us? By “make sense” I mean that the words string up to form coherent sentences, not necessarily that your flawed logic does.
Parents aren’t exempted from being at fault, you know? Being one doesn’t automatically make you right all the damn time. You seem to be able to fault your own parents for their deeds but fail to see that there are times when you’re wrong.
I won’t make the mistake of EVER bringing it up to your face again. Not after I tried to simply share how I felt and all I got was more telling offs – suddenly it was my fault that I somehow, somewhere along the way, failed to see that OH, everything was done out of love!
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate my parents. Heck, I love them a ton. I even felt sad that they weren’t around because they left Singapore on my birthday to head to Genting. Not sure why I bothered actually. I’m just REALLY angry right now. Angry is not the same as pissed off, by the way.
I will shut up now. After all, I’m just a daughter and I’m never going to be right. Not when I’m up against you in any case.
