cold

So I was talking to my mum just then and telling her about my day. She said "I can't wash the dishes" because she pulled her muscles, so I simply said "Don't worry-" and I was cut off. She repeated "don't worry" in an incredulous tone and went on to lecture and complain about how it's easier said than done. I told her that I hadn't even finished my sentence and she ignored me and I was so sick of not being heard I turned my back on her and walked into my room to finish tutor homework. She yelled at me for being upset at everything - every little thing.

And then she proceeded to tell me about my day. I was so turned off by whatever she said that I just told her "I'll tell you later or something." She then said "Fine, don't tell me". I don't think parents understand the difference between "I'll tell you later" and "I'll never tell you". Heck, I don't even think they realise how pressured some of us feel because of their expectations and their "you-should-have-known-this" attitude. But that's an entirely different issue, and I won't get into that because I still need to finish tutor homework and I'm barely halfway.
