The only time mother talks to me now, is when she needs me to do mindless jobs at home such as bring in the dishes, wash grandma's plates, wash grandma's aircon, change the lightbulb, fix the printer and so on.

Thereafter, not a single word of acknowledgement. No thank yous or welcome homes. Only blames and accusations. The most optimistic being mindless nods of head - clearly not listening, not even hearing a single thing I'm trying to say.

This evening, she confided/complained to EE that ah ma practices double standards between her and her brothers. Does she know that she's doing the same thing to me.. with the only difference being, I haven't got no sister to talk to like her?

ouch.
