Family issues suck.

cerulean_skyMy mother and I have issues. Like... issues... *sigh*
Last week my mom told me "You have to do five things a day that help the family, without being asked. If you can do that then I'll know you're mature enough to work for me. If you're unable or unwilling to do this, then I'll know that you're not mature enough and I'll get someone else."
And, ignoring the whole mature remarks ( as she just uses that to a) guilt trip me and b) insult me (and I no longer care. )) I decided that I don't want to work for her anyway, as our personalities are not compatible. At all. And we clash. A lot. So I've only been doing like... one thing for the family a day.
And now she's like, "Let's see what you did!" So I have to be like, "Uh, I don't want to work for you. Get someone else." And I know, even though she said she wouldn't be hurt by this, that she will be. And she will be mad even though she said she wouldn't be.
And now I have to find a nice way to tell her, "Fuck off." Because I don't want to make her mad and I don't want her to involve my father. And I have to be "mature" about it.
On a lighter note: Airiviel changed my layout. It's only half done at the moment, because she had to get offline last night before she could finish it. But it'll be finished today. ( And yes, I know there's a typo in the blurb thing. Please refrain from pointing this out to me. ) I'm happy about this. I've been wanting to change it for a while, but I was attached to the other one. But then she showed me what she was thinking of doing for her own, and I was like, "Please do mine? Please? Please??" So she did. :D
Also, GIP.
ETA: Wow. That resolved all nicely. She wasn't mad, and took my email explaining why I didn't want to work for her as a sign of my maturity. Imagine that. I am really surprised, and pleasantly so.
