Berbs! Thanks. But hey that wasn't a joke that one

And I know "old" is relative anyway.. it's just when you're around much more accomplished people, and ALL of our family friends are at this or that place in their life (my friend who is 2 days younger than me just had her second child, and is doing her Master's) and it's not that I want the things she has or think I should personally be at that point right now...
but my mom CONSTANTLY bringing it up and comparing us is WRONG (makes me almost resent MY friend, and I don't want to! ugh!) and annoying as fuck. I guess i'll keep working on ignoring.

Ugh, is this like a muslim thing cos my parents ALWAYS do that.
Not to me anymore, but to my brothers and sisters, jesus do they lay it on thick.
For the boys it's so and so's son is doing this, has bought this, sends money back home, he is such a good boy etc etc to my brothers, which only pushed my brothers to do the opposite.
For the girls it was always so and so married a rich man, he is a doctor, he bought her a car, he is under her thumb (this is important), she is such a good girl.
Nice to see how empty and cattle like breeding a females life was suppose to be.
Like I care that so and so's daughter married someone who bought her a car. I wanna buy my own one, excuse me for wanting my own cash.

I mean do these tricks work on anyone? seriously?
