I do the best job I possibly can while cleaning the house.

But I'm not perfect.

And I don't pretend to be. Whenever I sweep, dust mop, mop, or dust, I do the best possible job I can do.

But if my mom finds a SINGLE miniscule amount of dirt, dust or fuzz, and I gotta drop whatever else I'm doing, and do it all over again.

She says to me that "she doesn't expect me to be perfect", but if you saw her irl, you won't know that 🫩

And she's weirdly inconsistent on that. One weekend she's perfectly calm and comforting, the next weekend she's so pissed it's like I blew all our money in a casino. (I don't even do that type of gambling)

Again. I like having a clean home. I do everything in my power to stay, and keep it as clean as humanly possible. Stuff just slips by me. I wish she could understand that I don't have hawk level vision like her. 🫩

Guys, how about we do something about this moment from episode 8 of The Amazing Digital Circus? At the moment, this problem is very close to me and is relevant.

Mostly for me but for anyone else that needs to hear it: The holidays are really hard when you're low or no contact with your family. It's okay and valid to grieve for the relationship you wish you had with them. It's okay to feel sad or angry about it. It's also okay to have a fun, happy, joyful holiday season without them. You don't need to feel guilty for any of it. If you're spending time with family you're low contact with during the holidays, it's okay to set boundaries. It's okay to keep boundaries. You can't control other people, you can only control yourself. Don't let them ruin your holidays. You don't need to let them close enough to do that. You don't have to feel guilty for protecting your heart and having a good holiday season.

I'm sending so much love to everyone who is going through this during the holidays. It's hard and it sucks, but you are strong and brave for putting your own needs first.

objectively my relationship with my dad is worse. but my mind apparently doesn't care about logic because my relationship with my mom hurts so much more. because she at least knows stuff about me. while the connection between me & my dad has been entirely 'off' since i was like 12, me & my mom are constantly 'on' & 'off'. one moment i think she's no better than my dad and the next i'm reminded exactly why she's so much better. if i had to choose to live with one of them for the rest of my childhood i'd choose her without hesitation. (kinda random but indian parents really need to start normalizing divorce lmao) in the end, my dad mostly stays out of whatever happens to me and doesn't interact and i'm fine with it now because i don't really like the person he is, but my mom doesn't stay out of it. she's objectively a better person. she's there, she listens, but also she makes things so much worse. well at least she's got more tact than my dad. i feel like the reason it hurts more with her is because at times i actually have hope whereas i've given up when it comes to my dad. my dad doesn't have expectations to meet so he can't disappoint me any more but i know my mom and she is a much better parent than him and sometimes i expect a healthy interaction and when it doesn't happen i'm left disappointed and hurt. idk i'm just rambling atp

Lwk wanna kill my self because my mom hates me so much rn, just because I’m sad that she’s going on vacation with her bf, and his children, but me and my sisters weren’t invited, now in the group chat they r sending photos of all of them together a big happy family, except my and my sisters aren’t in it. My family is already broken mom, but you have to becomes family with someone else while leaving us with out one?? What about us being your number one, you told me if I ever feel sad I can come to you, but you just call me ungrateful.

what do you want me to do? You don’t say you love me anymore before bed, sound childish I know…but I miss you; I miss you mom, I miss you so god damn much. Your not gone I guess, I see you every other week ig. But your not the same, nothing is the same
