my mother

its not what you do for people
but how you communicate with them.

i hate staying at home, and a large part of the reason is you.

it’s virtually impossible to start a conversation with you without you flaring up by the 2nd sentence, regardless of topic.

yes, you keep the house spick and span and all
but i would appreciate a mother who communicates in any other way rather than inane screaming and slamming furniture
who cares if she does zero housework?
at least i can count on her not to throw a fit within 5 minutes in her presence.
