Thoughts.
My mum's generation like to think of children as their assets, something they own. Something to boss around since hi I gave birth to you I took care of you. Unfortunately my bro didn't go like what they wanted? He's extremely opinionated and perfectly fine with voicing out his opinions/ thoughts/ whatever he wants to say. I am his polar opposite though. Today my uncle was on the phone with mum, asking mum to help write a red packet to my cousin for her wedding. I heard her telling him that she can get me to do it.
Why? It's like a chore for them, writing messages and greetings and all, which I don't understand at all. All they care about is the cash inside that red packet, what about the wishes you have for the newly wed?
And because I'm not my bro I keep all these inside my head of mine I get frustrated and sad all inside. I am glad I'm not from that generation. I'm glad I can say honest things to my bro in his face, about him and with him too. Not like how I see my aunties and uncles function as siblings. All the talking-behind-the-back and all. Thank god.
