I’m really tired of being my mom’s mom.

I’m trying really hard to be accommodating to my parents, and I recognize all that they’ve done for me. After nineteen years of helping them make doctors’ appointments, calling the television and internet services, attempting to fix every little thing in their life that goes wrong, and trying to still maintain patience and a pleasant disposition around them, it really has taken a toll on me. I’m their daughter, yet they have come to me with more questions and problems than I ever have to them. In all my years of living, I really can’t remember an emotional issue that I approached them with.  I wish that we could reach an understanding somewhere, but I’m glad that we can at least have some type of relationship.  Going off to college sure is difficult when you have two kids at home. I know real parents don’t have it easy, and I know I can’t imagine what my parents went through to get here and raise my brother and me after moving across the world.  I just wish they would try a little bit harder, and they would recognize me as a true adult. I haven’t fucked up, and I don’t intend to.  I fully intend to repay them and be there for them in the future. Even if I wanted to talk to them about all of this, the communication barrier is still an obstacle. Furthermore, it’d be great disrespect… I’ve never really, honestly fought with them. Disagreements would be a more appropriate term. I won’t allow them to intrude on what makes me happy, though. I will fight for that, and one day, we’ll see eye-to-eye. Maybe eye-to-shoulder. I’ve come a long way though…
