There's been a lack of updates since the year began, but I guess it isn't such a bad thing, considering the nature of my posts.
Mum has kept me thinking over the past few days about the family, especially about my grandparents, uncle and aunt. With my grandparents moving to my uncle's place, mum and dad have been slaving away, trying to get things done asap, as per request from grandma. Which would've been fine, if not for the lack of honesty and appreciation towards my parents. Mum has been extremely upset because to my grandparents, mum will always be the 'disobedient' (不孝) daughter in law, even though she, for years, has tried to gain their approval. On the contrary, my uncle and aunt have done almost nothing, and yet, they are seen as the 'good kids', simply because they are smart people.
For myself, I have no idea how to act as a child, and grandchild. A part of me wants to unleash the anger felt for the unfairness towards my parents, but at the same time, I have to continue to be the 'good kid', so that my parents aren't shamed (kind of). It's heartbreaking to know that my mum is unappreciated for the hard work she is doing (not even kidding, she done a lot of the heavy lifting despite having hurting arms). My parents put in the money, time and effort to help out, and yet not even a word of appreciation is said.
