every day, without fail, my mama will nag and nag

she nag about her life, she nag at me and my sister, she nag about the housework, she nag about her aches from doing housework.

In fact, I've been listening to her nagging ever since I can start comprehending things during secondary school.

Not to say that I don't understand her hard work but sometimes it is also about working smart. Our house got 2 of everything. 2 cooking stove, 2 TV, 2 Fridges, 2 washing machine and she complain washing clothes is difficult and why is it so? the reason is she want to protect the clothes from 'aging' too quickly and thus seldom use the washing machine. Therefore every time she ask me to help with the clothes to dry it so that we can hang it out to dry, I will admonish her and question her what the hell is the 2 washing machine in our house for and she will start using it for a few days before resuming back to hand wash.

I don't quite understand those housewife as well who just want to save a few cents of rebate and end up carrying huge plastic bag which are obviously too heavy for them to carry. And when they finally arrive home, they complain about aching arms!

The same for those who purposely travel long distances to large supermarket and came home complaining about aching legs.

when my sister and I are at home, she will nag at us to help her with her housework. Of course if we can we will help. But as the school term continues, projects and works get piled up and sometimes when we are at home we are trying to complete our work and she'll be nagging at us to help her with this and that and it'll get frustrating and when you declined she will nag and nag and nag and nag and nag, dragging those super long 10 years issues lumping them together, snowballing 1 into another until it resembled a big giant boulder that is really to crush and suffocate you so you have no more breath..you cannot take it anymore because you are busy with your work and you'll still have to take in this nonsense and so...

THE VOLCANO MUST ERUPT before she finally stop talking.

and the world is at peace again.

I think I said enough. I must watch Little Miss Sunshine again to understand the beauty of a dysfunctional family.

Women nag because they see that things dont get done.

Women complain because it is human nature. MEN complain too.

Its quite obvious that men are blamed for everything.
MENopause
MENstral cramps
MENstration
MENtal health

and some others.

Otherwise, i think u and yr sister can help ur mom more. maybe draw up a roster?
