My mom's okay with my friends complaining about how crappy their lives are, but when ever I start talking about how being an only child isn't spitting rainbows to them (which is what most of them assume since they all have siblings), my mom starts getting angry at me.
The first time I brought up the topic with my friends, she was insisting that I was lying about being lonely and saying that I actually liked it. Well I wasn't happy being alone most of the time, I've already told her that. And she knows that adopting at her age is a problem 'cause for bonk's sake she's retiring in 5 years. Then when my friends leave she acts so pissed off at me for just being honest about this. I mean, what the heck!? You want me to LIE to my friends that my life is the awesome-est thing in the world when in fact there's more to it than it looks?
I mean, I know I'm lucky, having doctors for parents that can practically afford 70% of what I ask (I don't ask them for stuff all that often though), but that doesn't mean I don't have issues that I can just easily talk about with my parents.
Someone please explain to me why she's so pissed off at this?
