cny anxieties

i think mum is getting anxious about chinese new year (cny) again.

she had been behaving weird these days. added to that, i get quite pissed off with her insistence that i go to my brother's place to look after the kids while he and his wife do the shopping and preparations for cny. it did not matter that i had not done my own preparations, buy groceries, wash the car, clean the house, etc. when i told her that, she simply said you are not married, what kinda preparations do you need to do? yet on the other hand, she wanted me to prepare the ang pows for her, buy new clothes, etc. i was rather pissed off by yesterday that i told her to stop showing favouritism and instead recognise i myself need the space to do my own preparations. her mood changed on the spot she stopped talking to me. and this morning, she started throwing tantrums again.

anyway, by lunch time today, she regained some of her sanity and out of nowhere, as me if i had completed my cny grocery shopping to which i replied no. i think that kinda hit her for she suddenly asked to go home (although i suspect it was also becos she was bored being at my brother's place).
