“Iron the clothes, sweep the floor, clean your room, stand up straight..” It never ends! When will I ever be able to catch a break? My brother doesn’t have to go through all of this. I know how to do all of the chores but my mother just doesn’t trust me. I wish she would just give me a chance to see that I am capable of doing all of the things she asks me to do on a daily basis. I have morals, mom! Why must you think so negatively of me? I have followed everything you have done my entire life; why would you assume that I will become a slut? You are my example and I wish you would begin to trust me more. I know how to iron, I know how to cook, I know how to be polite and I know how to dress. I keep trying to tell you but you refuse to listen to me; you just go on and on with your rules and directions. If only you took the time to listen to me and get to know the great, well-rounded, responsible daughter you have raised. Then maybe you wouldn’t doubt me in everything that I do. I know you are just trying to do your job but I feel like you have done everything right; all that is left is to just be my mom. I know you mean well and I love you so much but you don’t have to be tough ALL of the time. Just be my mom!
