what a great day!
My morning sickness is killing me-what a great way to start this entry.
A cacophony of sounds welcomed me as I arise.
I am darn sure that my vacuum cleaner needs some sort of servicing.
I just cant understand my mums obsession with cleanliness.
Every morning, she will begin her mundane routine work starting off with mopping the floor ensuring that its spick and span.
Clean, clean, clean.
Thereafter she proceeds to vacuum the freakishly clean floor.
Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum.
She has absolutely no regard for anyone in the family esp. those who are sleeping @ 6 am in the morning and that certainly includes me and as a result wakes the whole family up from her intrusion into our rooms.
Wake,wake, wake.
She will proceed to wash the clothes and mind me; she washes the clothes with her hands despite having the choice of the much more convenient washing machine.
Wash, wash, wash.
After, she will tidy up the whole house and water the plants and look for other housework to do.
Tidy, tidy, tidy.
She will than decide to try her new recipe and more often than not whip up a less than fantastic meal and we being the guinea pigs have to savor her gourmet delights and any comments far short from a compliment will get us a reduction in allowance.
Eat, eat, eat.
Lie, lie, lie.
Than if shes still feeling awake from the caffeine in the morning, she will clean the house again. I really wonder whats going through her mind.
Clean, clean, clean/
She will bake for our neighbors and always volunteer to open up our home for high tea for the missus staying near my house.
Bake, bake, bake.
What a hackle!
. I honestly think that my mom is a perfect candidate for the desperate housewives. Wisteria lane should be her home. not pasir ris. I mean trying to get her to watch the show is never going to happen because she doesnt watch tv at all.
I mean all her free time is spent on housework and her actual work, and whenever I invite her to just relax and watch tv she would flip out and accuse me of being lazy and get me to run some errands for her. Are all mums like that? Heads up would be nice.
I am not saying I dont appreciate what she is doing, because I certainly do. My house is the next best thing to a hospital. But I guess she is overdoing it. And yeah she expects perfection in the household.
She wants us to be slaves to cleanliness.
I mean cleanliness is important and we should ensure that we make an effort to clean the house every now and than however we are not freaks. I mean cleaning the house 7 days a week; twice a day without any valid reasons is a serious indicator that you have a sickness.
None of the others want to talk to her probably because they know nothing good will come out of it, but I guess keeping silent is also never going to resolve the problem. I love my mum and I want her to be happy but I seriously think that working 24/7 in the house is never going to make anyone happy.
She will always grumble and sulk and complain when cleaning the house, she doesn’t like it at all. Why torture herself than?
I have talked to her numerous times to just relax, take time out and just breathe the fresh air and do all those lover stuff with dad like going for a nice meal, going to the movies, and just spend time out, relaxing and enjoying life.
But it usually turns on deaf ears and
She will most probably ignore me and than try to get into a discussion with dad on the possibility of cutting my allowance and implementing a curfew on me for being rude and disrespectful.
Apparently liberalism isnt in her dictionary. She is still stuck in the old school of thought where the young shouldnt tell their elders what to say and do and that the young should ALWAYS keep quiet and just follow instructions.
I am way beyond that.
I am not 12 anymore mum; even though I look young, I am pretty mature deep inside so dont talk to me like that.
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………
I know what to get for her this Christmas. Kama Sutra for the elderly. She needs it.
I am sure i wont live another day if that comes to past.
