175. I feel like an ungrateful child ...

[at_midnight]

For those of you who don't know my living situation - my sister and I live in rented room in a boarding house. It's basically a house, whose owner rents the room to people. Just the room - though we can use the kitchen if we want to. I cannot afford apartment yet and I'm still saving money until I can buy my own place (cross fingers). I usually

Sorry your mom has been sick but it's good she's feeling better again :) I understand your feelings, it's always scary if your mom's not feeling well.

*hugs*

It is very scary when one of my parents' sick. Especially my Mom because she is almost never sick ...

Oh don't feel bad, you can take care of your mother when you go home friday. I hope she feels better soon. *hugs*

By the way, I did not know your sister rented a room in the same boarding house!

I just dislike the idea that the one week I don't call, she happens to be sick :(.

Yes, my sister lives in the same boarding house. She moves in about 2 years ago. In fact, she sometimes sleeps in my room if she feels like she doesn't want to sleep alone. We're close, see ...

Thank you, Ayu. That is so kind of you ...

I hope she gets better and you shouldn't feel ungrateful about not calling. Life can take over sometimes and it's good too.
And also, it's funny to see you sort of justifying your beautiful relationship with your mother. Really there is no need too, you're both very lucky to love each other so. (and it's not just luck of course, you both work at it). Nice to read.

I must've wrote it down without really being conscious about it because after I read your comment, I just realized that I did look like I was trying to justify my close relationship with my family. Why should I do that, I wonder

I know that I should not feel ashamed of being close to them, or the fact that I go home on weekends just to be with them. Hmmmm ... I need to talk to my inner therapist again to sort this out!!! I might have issues that I don't recognize.

[barking_cats]

haha, [your] inner therapist again.. that makes you sound nutto, I like it :P

aren't you glad the your friend here might not be sane all the time *g*

Don't feel like an ungrateful child! You are always very grateful and I think you show your mom that, but sometimes things get in the way and it's not your fault that your mom happened to get sick when you didn't call. She also knows that just because you don't call for a few days, because you're busy, doesn't mean that you're ungrateful. Plus you can totally take care of your mom when you get back home tomorrow *hugs*

I think it's great that you're such a close family. I always call my parents a lot as well even though I always have dinner at their place at the weekends and I do things with them in the weekends. So yeah definetly not strange at all, actually quite a wonderful thing :)

Thank you, Chrissie. I just write it down on my latest post, that yeah, it IS not strange of being close with my family. I love my family -- and it IS a wonderful thing.

I'm coming home tonight and I can't wait.
