Sore spot
My mom was saying how she had a great sales figure today. In fact, she has been selling many pots for a couple of days now. I shouldn't have asked how much money those numbers of pots translate into, but I did. Turns out that she has been earning about $200 every day for a couple of days already.
If you have been reading my LJ recently, you probably would know how I was mad and disappointed at her for wanting to leech me of $200 when she saw my grandma and uncle give me money. And now, after hearing what she has been earning a day, I feel very bitter. In fact, I walked right off while she continued talking about the amount of money she has been earning. I don't want to know, because it just makes me despise my mom more.
My annoyance at her doesn't stop at here. Recently, I bought this set of VCD for an old Mediacorp drama and I meant to watch it. I was until 6th disc when she said she wanted to watch also. So I kindly let her watch from somewhere at the start. It got annoying when I had to go out and I couldn't watch the drama, but she continued to don't-know-what-disc now as if she bought the drama. Now our pace is totally different but of course she wouldn't even bother to let me watch from where I stopped off, even though I own that VCD. It's annoying. Now I have to watch it on my laptop because of her insensitivity.
And I am still very very sore about the $200. It's not the amount of money, let me stress. It is how she wants to leech from her own daughter when she is capable of earning it in a day. If I am still schooling, I would need 5 months to save it, if I even manage to save $10 a week. It's not as if my parents give me a lot of allowance. What the f**k. I hate her sometimes.
