A brush with my mother

Hot 4634 views. 2014-12-8 22:18 | yesterday, beginning, surprise, because, mother

       Today is the beginning of this week, but, I was in bad mood for a whole day because of some brush with my mother yesterday. The origin of things from she found a new job. She told us she will start to work from this week formally. I was so surprise why now she wants to go out to work? My mother has never been to work outside before she moved into the city where I lived. She has been the homemaker since I was born. What’s more, she has never even a little working experience. But, my mother gave us her explanations, the first because my daughter was in primary school, she didn’t pay more attention to take care of my daughter and my father could pick up my daughter instead of her. The second there is a good opportunity for her to find a job compare with my hometown where she has lived for a long time. The last she wants to reduce the financial burden for us because once she and my father got serious sickness. They didn’t share the social security and pension from the country. So she wanted to make money even a little.
       I also give her my explanations in return for that from where I’m standing. On the one hand my mother is no longer young that suitable for the job. On the other hand I think my wife and I can afford the expenses without their paid. She didn’t suffer with a very badly paid. But my mother seems to be determined to do it. It really bored me and almost lost my temper at that moment, but, I controlled it. In order to avoid further intensified contradiction, I decided to persuade my mother give up the idea some day.

Sigh..... Mothers are mothers. They like to do these things at old age to prove their worth. The money she makes won't make much difference to the finance of the family, so it is not really necessary for her to work. Just try to persuade her by telling her that she is more useful at home, you care about her and treasure her presence at home. Don't lose your temper on her that you care about her and you are all a family. Money is secondary.

mothers are always the ones who are trying to think about their children every second. I think, ur mom's determination and ur worries are both understandable. In my opinion, the only way to persuade your mom to give up her idea is that you should have the strong facts that you and your wife can financially function the family well. good luck!!

As you said, you and your wife can afford the finance of this family. There is no need for your mom to find a job to earn money. In my opinion, does your mother seems to have nothing to do? She just wants to find something to fill her empty life. You can advice your mom to do some interested affairs instead of working.

I totally agree with you! Maybe the reason my mother have such idea because she thought we didn't have enough finance to supply the whole family running well.
