its always a lose-lose situation with my mom.
if she's upset about something and starts nagging/scolding/shouting.

i can :
1. keep quiet.
which is a bad move because it seems like i'm giving her the i-don't-care attitude.

2. apologise.
what for? when my apologies will be met with constant confrontations of it being insincere and i'm only using the word sorry to get out of my fixes.

3. try to explain.
yeah TRY, as if that will work. a mother's words always wins.

4. argue back.
HA. totally wrong move.

5. genuinely feel guilty and try to make up for it.
the efforts will be termed as "too late". doesn't make a difference since i already made a mistake. trying again is useless.

i wonder if what i'm facing is universal. or is my mom the only one.
arrgh.
i still love her anyway. i think.
okok i do.
