Unhappy with my Mum

Today is a cloudy day and also a moody day for me!
Past few days I've been in loggerheads with my mum. This morning, my dad called and she refused to pick up the phone and I really got no idea what she is thinking. She doesnt want my dad to know that she is staying with me. Sigh! As if anyone would ever believe that she is not staying here. I'm upset not because she doesnt pick up the phone. It's because she raised her voice at me when my house phone rang. She shouted, dun tell him I'm here. In my mind, I thought why is she so fierce with me but not with my brother?
姐姐 heard and she commented, why 你们骂来骂去? I paused and I told her, mummy not scolding 婆婆. Mummy always treat her nicely but she always think that I'm trying to harm her. Deep within me, I'm really sad. I ask myself, will my own dd treat me like this next time.
Later in the afternoon, my younger brother called and she actually picks up his call. I really dun understand her despite now that I'm a mother. Over these years, despite of all the nonsence and all the hurts that my brother caused her. She is still there for him. It's not that I'm jealous about it. It's just that I feel that she is spoiling him to the bones. Sigh! Dun wan to dig out the past grievances. Dun like to think or even breathe over it!
Frankly both my mum and I are strong-headed creatures. Guess the inheritance is from her. I'm really worried that my 妹妹 will behave the same because her character is also the hot type. Some of my friends commented that character can be moulded which I have little confidence with that area. If I have a choice when I grow old one day, I will not live with my kids. When kids are mature enough, they will have their own set of thinking. It would be either that we change ourselves to adapt or we will be living in conflict with them.
I do not ask for anything from them. They dun have to pay for our living as long as they can be self-sufficient and they have all the good values as a person.

hey.....brighten up. life is short. Enjoy it and don't live with regrets. Must do something to build up the relationship with your mom. I think you must give in to your mom nonsense. She's not that bad to the extend. There are worsed. Definitely Amanda will pick up things from you. She do not know what you have gone thru when you were young, she might thought that it's the norm to talk to mom when you grow up. You forgot that she start to nag like you already?
