Selfish daughter

*sigh*

I'm tired of failing to make my mother happy.

No, I didn't go to a 4 year college.
No, I don't sing anymore.
No, I don't think it's necessary to dust the house exactly every 7 days.
No, I don't put things away right away.
No, I don't always put clothes back in my closet. Yes, I leave 'em on the floor instead.
No, I didn't remember you worked tonight.
No, I didn't do that ahead of time.
No, I don't like being early and always rather be late.
No, I don't think to call you every time I change my daily plans.
No, I didn't take my things out of the living room yet even though they've been there a couple days.

And no, I didn't call to check up on you today since you're sick and see if you wanted anything b/c you never want my help with anything except cleaning. Not to mention that I've asked for a couple days now and the answer's always "no."

You would never admit that you have a problem just asking. Just calling.

I'm a selfish, ungrateful, irresponsible daughter. I get it. You just finally got mad enough at me to say it to my face today.

But I love you, and I am, very grateful. And I hate school, but I go, and get good grades...for you.
