:surprised: Mums who hardly go out and would most probably get lost? That means I havoc mum lah!

I worse than hyperactive children...cannot sit still type. At home, I'll be on the computer for half an hour, then I run to do something in the kitchen, then to my bedroom to fold clothes, then sit on the sofa and pick up my book to read, then go kitchen for drinks, then back to the computer, then...then...
My mum nags a lot too. She has a lot of archive files stored in her brains. She loves to talk about the past and she can recall all the nitty gritty details too!

I hate it when she goes into her comparison mode - comparing each and everyone of her children's good and bad points. More bad points than good.
Do I love my parents? Hmmm... they were both matchmade so they don't have love for each other. Children were accidents and my siblings and me were incalcated since young that we MUST repay my mother for bringing us up. Not fair really... she fed us cheap food everyday and sew our clothes...really piang ones.

and on top of that, she canes us for every little wrongdoing or mischief.
But I still give her monthly allowance even though I stopped working. I take it out of the monthly allowance my husband gives me. If I don't give my mum $$$, she'll start all her comparison lectures again. Who gives me more, blah, blah, blah...
Sigh...those were the thinking of the past generation and I don't practice it with my children. Now with the costs of living so high, how to ask them for $$$ when they are struggling to manage their own finances, right?
I certainly don't want to be a replica of my mother. I like her cooking only.
