I love my mom.  She has always been there for me when I needed help and she cares for me everyday, even when she is tired.  However, (mom if you’re reading this, I don’t mean any offense by this) sometimes she says things that just crush my soul

 

“Options”

 

The first thing is when she tries to make it seem like I have a choice.  Let's say it's a wonderful Saturday afternoon.  I’m in my pajamas playing the game.  Suddenly, I hear the voice of my mom calling my name.  I answer quickly, but only to hear the following; “You wanna go ahead and take out the trash?”  Now, it seems like I have a choice here, but I do not.  There is only one answer, and I’m pretty sure you know what that answer is.  If I say no, I’m going to be doing it anyway.

​

The Dishes

 

The second thing I hate that she says is to tell me to wash the dishes.  I know it's to get me some practice for when I’m living by myself so that I can maintain a clean lifestyle, but I just hate washing the dishes.  If I hear the words “wash” and “dish” in the same sentence, my heart drops 20 feet.

 

Costco

 

The last thing that I hate that she says is, “We’re going to Costco.”  There are very few things that I hate more than washing dishes, and Costco is one of them.  Anytime we go, we are there for about 2 hours.  And that isn’t the worst part.  The worst part is putting the groceries up, since there are so many.  

 

Although I hate when my mom makes it seem like I have an option, or when she tells me to wash the dishes, and when we go to Costco, I still love my mom with everything that I have.  Unless we go to Costco, I may love her a little bit less that day.
