Next week, I have an in-class essay that will count for both History+English and the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) that I have to pass in order to graduate. I'm trying my best not to worry or be stressed by going on Youtube and AFF to relax (mainly listening to music while writing unfinished chapters), but my mom is making me study even though there isn't much for the CAHSEE (it's multiple choice and has questions that are from lower subjects not aren't of sophomore level) and just being mad at me for not doing anything school-related. She even started blabbering that I am having a bad grade in both Biology and English Honors (this was from last semester), even though I currently have an A in Biology and for English, we don't have a grade yet because we haven't been doing any assignments, but review for the In-Class Essay.

"Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers but it is love that is just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together"

Hey Honey, that’s okay.

This happens to all of us, we all have overbearing mothers and they all want us to do well, often showing their love in ridiculous if not infuriating ways. Now one thing to never do to a parent (especially sensitive, naggy moms) is provoke them. I understand your pain (since I am the maknae, not only am I ordered around by my parents but my hyungs as well but that doesn’t matter because I’m too fabulous for my own good) and at some point in your life, you’ll learn how to meet halfway. There’s no point getting her to understand because she’s of a different generation, she’ll probably never know of the blessings that you probably take for granted. I understand the frustration and the sadness and I believe you work hard and passionately for your own goals. Your mother just wants you to do better and sometimes when doing so, she may disregard your feelings which in turn may make you feel like utter .

Just for future reference, if your mother does keep on nagging you and you feel like it’s unnecessary and stupid, work up the courage to lay down your bottom line. Let her know your limits and even if she screams at you, just blink calmly and remain apathetic. If she insults you, never answer with an angry tone; if she blames you return her with something like this:

“You’re a useless child that doesn’t study” - “Mom I’m sorry you have a child who is useless and doesn’t study.”

If there is no resistance, she will not fight back. I could honestly blab on about this forever but then Kris hyung would have to whack me. Hope that helped and please enjoy the cake, Kyungsoo took extra care to make this for our pretty customer :D
