These 2 years it's getting harder to get along with my mum cos I feel that she has changed, and A LOT. To her, she expects money (monthly allowance) every month by her working daughters, as and when to bring her to atas places to eat so she can show off to her real life friends and Facebook friends. When there's occasions (mothers day, Xmas, birthday etc) she unspokenly expects gifts and meals. I only found out recently that she is waiting for her working daughters to give her a share of our yearly performance bonus. Her logic is, whatever our income, she wants a piece of it. Monthly salary, AWS, performance bonus... before we started working, she already told her she wants 10% of our take home pay every month, if not she will chase us out of the house. I look at my friends around me, their mothers don't take money from them. Those with families their mothers will even worry if they have enough to support their own family. Why is it that when it comes to me, everything goes on a different direction? Recently I gave her $500 to sponsor her holiday trip, she moved house I sponsored $1k, then now I jus received my bonus I have to give again? If I earn a lot and have no family to support ok la, but I have 1 newborn, 1 toddler, 1 helper, 1 car, insurance and so many other expenses to pay every month.. don't give money means I'm unfillial (her defination), give money I not enough, then how? As and when we meet up she somehow can always link to the topic that she every month only earns $2400, after cpf deduction left with very little. I will rebut her saying I give $300, sis give ard $500 min every month. She only has to feed herself why need so much money. She will say still got a 18 years old daughter need to feed. Oh, slap me. When I was 18, I had to work my ass off part time to pay for own school fees and support own living expenses. It's really a different mother now.
