I can't believe how irritating my mom is being. First of all, her cleaning standards are so high the only person who can reach them is herself. Then she yells at me when I tell her the house is already clean. 'There are crumbs on the kitchen floor!'. It's a kitchen, they're bread crumbs.
Then she goes on about how she's right and I'm wrong about the house. Kind of like 'I said it's dirty, so it is'. And of course, she gets mad because she has to ask me and my sister to do chores. It's not nice to always expect someone to do something. I prefer to be asked. I don't know when the house isn't up to her standards.
Then she has the nerve to tell me, after I researched Zebra Finches for an hour (my bird was plucking my sister's bird really bad) that I'm wrong. He's not plucking her for territory or nesting materials, according to mom. Nope, he's plucking her because the bottom of the cage is somewhat dirty. "If I had to live in there, I'd be angry".
I tell her that they pluck their partner's feathers to show dominance, gain nesting materials and when they're fighting over territory. Then she goes and says "You always have to be right. Well you know what, you're not. You just don't want to admit I'm right."
I wish I could just move out. Oh yeah, I wouldn't invite her over. I'd EXPECT her to come over when I want her to visit. HMMM.
