My mum wanted me to go with her, my grandmother and aunt and uncle to the graveyard tomorrow to visit my great grandmother's grave and then go have lunch with them. I told her I didn't want to go, I barely slept last night and wanted to get some sleep tonight. On top of that, I never met my great grandmother (I think she died way before I was born) and it's just boring to be in the graveyard. Then my grandmother gets all clingy and I hate that because I don't like her. And I'll be the only one my age. I've spent a lot of time with this group of people (all above 50 years old) in the past year because I have nothing else to do and my mum would be sad if I didn't spend some time with her. I'm never with their son because he has a life, unlike me, so he never goes to these things.
Yet my mum retorts with a "you never spend time with me". How selfish can you be? I spend a lot of time with this group because of her, even though I would rather stay at home playing games. I'm going with her to visit my sister, even though I have to take two flights in four days, which I hate because I get extreme ear pain. And I'm only going because otherwise she wouldn't go visit my sister, and I know she wants to.
Why can't people just look at what I do for them instead of just saying I don't do anything for them?
