I love my mother.
But I always feel she expects too highly from me because I'm a girl. I understand her intentions, I do, but when she accuses me for not doing the chores (which I did, just not on her watch), it hurts. and then she'll keep on ranting about how useless I am and starts comparing me to my brother (the perfect son) or someone's daughter (the perfect daughter).
Then, she'll be mad at me for waking up at 11AM (I was really tired) but she didn't scold my brother who sneaked out during the nights and worst part is? She knows! If I did that, she'll kill me. It's like she's double-standardizing me and my brothers. it's awful. she'll also complain saying I always lock up in my room, but she never did so to my brother who's just the same. like why?! and she's willing to buy something that costed like hundreds but isn't willing to buy me a simple book!
sometimes, I found her saying to us, "Every one is not perfect." But she literally THREATENED me if I were to cry.
I wanna run away; kill myself, but I know deep down, I care, mostly to myself. but her doing all these are just-- *sighs*

expectations
they expect too much they expect everything they expect, me to do it all it's not hard they say well at least it's not for them but they are not me...
Yeah to a lesser extent my mother double standards my siblings and me.She constantly calls all of us fat and ugly and both me and one of my older sisters suffered from anorexia. She also tells us we need to avoid boys cause they will think we are “too pretty” she won’t let us have friends that are guys but wants us to get married and have kids . She doesn’t want us cursing or anything but makes us watch television with the family that is too “inappropriate” for us to watch on our own.
ReplyAll I know is that you are not alone. It actually seems to be that way. The sons get to do certain things that the daughters cannot. The son can go and come when he pleases but the daughter cannot. The daughter can cook and clean while the son does what he wants. However, the daughter would be judged on how well she cooks or cleans and the son would be seen as the dream child. All I can say is to hang on and do your best. I believe just doing what you need to do while you are at home will pay off. Keep your head up and don’t quit. One day you can move out and have your own place where you don’t have to worry about a double standard. I’d say just keep working on your goals and do well with study and work so you can have a place of your own.
