the world is changing
Feb. 3rd, 2004 11:53 amor, at the very least, the dynamics of child-parent relationship in my family. was rather rude to the mother last night - completely ignored her when she was asking me something - so predictably, she kicked up a humongous fuss. after my father's intervention, i grudgingly deigned to say a few words to her, while she continued her ranting. and then, it was at this point, that i realised: things have changed.
instead of slicing my head off for being rude (and in retrospect, i did think i was fairly rude and behaved quite immaturely >_<) my dad actually defended me!
immature and inappropriate as it seems, it feels like i scored a minor victory. the mother has a tendency to shoot her mouth off without thinking, and then go on and on and on and on and on, until she becomes absolutely unbearable. unfortunately, it's a bit like the boy who cried wolf, she's done it so many times unneccesarily, that the one time she was fairly justified to rail at me, she got blamed for it.
how did it ever get to this?
