My Mum Got Angry With Me Because I Bought A Garden Hose
I use those empty 4 pint milk cartons, wash them out, and fill them with water to water the plants in the garden and keep them stocked up outside. I use about 10 of them in one go. However, lately, the weight of them is causing my back to hurt as well as my elbow and shoulder, so I decided to spend £50 on a garden hose with the mixer tap connector. My mum went crazy. She said, "Why on earth spend £50 on a hose where you hate living"? I said, "Well, if I ever get the chance to get out of here I can take it with me". And on and on she went.
I have to look after my joints at the end of the day. She can't look after the plants as her back is really bad.
Why do I keep messing up? Surely I've done no wrong? 😭 I just don't know.
Answers
You don't keep 'messing up' but you do keep taking notice of the badmouthing and guilt-tripping and all the other nonsense that your mother dishes out on a regular basis. There's no reason why this shouldn't now be water off a duck's back - but if you don''t want to change (ie change how you react) you'll have to just keep on putting up with it.
