Mothers...
You know...I really love my mother and all, but sometimes she has a strange way of thinking.
She says she accepts things easily as in people for who they are, and I'm not so sure about that, but that wasnt really what I was thinking about. I was more thinking about what she says about gay marriages. It was a little upsetting that she doesnt support it.
Her reasoning is that marriage is for procreation. I was all like...well...I guess it depends on what you think about for marriage. I think marriage is about the expression of love between two individuals. Maybe thats just me though. I duno. She also referred to experimentation with the same sex a 'problem' several times, but I let it slide. Its strange how I interact with my family, I hate arguing with them, so I avoid it at all costs. If that was anyone else I would have said. "Problem? PROBLEM!? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!?" But since it was my mother I said nothing.
Then she went on about this speech about how I probably wont be able to empathize with people if I dont go through what they do (If I became a therapist/psychologist) because I wont do stupid fast food jobs. Oh please, I know all too well that I would hate it already through empathy after hearing how bad it was from other people.
I brought up the point that...what about people that marry and dont want to have kids, like my neighbours who are friends with us. And she then takes it into their case and avoids the point. I really dont like to make my mother feel bad and wrong and prove her wrong if we're having a civil conversation...so I didnt press the point further. Old fashion thinking needs to change man.
It was rather irritating. A few things are irritating me more lately, I hope I'm not becoming as uptight as I was before again...I'll fight it with all my might -_-
