A Mother, Getting “Left Out”…

Differential treatments received by the mother and the sons’ girlfriends here, making the mom feeling uneven here, translated…

I’d found out, not on purpose, of course, that my sons had spent a lot of money on their girlfriends’ birthdays. My eldest who’s in college gave his girlfriend a name brand purse, from the credit card bills, it’d shown $3,500N.T.s; my second son gave his girlfriend a t-shirt he’d designed that was manufactured by a clothing factory, the slips of how much it’d cost that was sent home showed $990N.T.s.

Toward their mother’s finding out about the bill and the receipts, they’d both told the truth. “I’d, forgotten her birthday, and the day before I’d all of a sudden, recalled it, I was so thrilled, and my roommate suggested that I go and buy this brand of purse for her, and so, I’d rushed to the malls, and picked one out, then, immediately mailed it to her, and thankfully, it’d arrived ON her birthday!”, my eldest reported all the details, he’d even told me how much it’d cost for the delivery services, with a total disregard of how I, the mom who’d worked hard, to save up every penny would feel.

“I think that the design that I’d come up with was quite cool, and that printed on a t-shirt, would look even better! If I’m the one wearing it, I’ll only be able to see if when I looked into the mirror, but, I’d made it into a t-shirt for her, that way, I can admire my own work from time to time, this, is a smart thought, isn’t it?”, my second son gloated on the mindset he had as he’d designed the style, as well as the reason why he’d given it to his girlfriend, he’d forgotten to notice the three frown lines on my forehead, and my eyes, rolling to the back of my head.

Other than feeling bad on their money not being spent well at all, I’d also felt angered by how they’re treating their girlfriends so well, and not their families; but, from their disclosures, they’d not come to their senses how their mother is feeling very damaged right now.

It seems, “that I’d needed to, get STRAIGHT to the point” this time, so I’d started on them, “on your girlfriends’ birthdays, you’re willing to spend a lot of money, on the expensive stuff, but, on mom’s birthday, you’d not even, sent me a simple card, there’s NO point, in my having two sons! It’s really sorrowful, being a mom………”, although I’d known, that I will NEVER win out in the fights between their girlfriends a, but, I was feeling very awful about it, and so, I’d become, irrational, as I’d ranted on and on.

My eldest looked at me calmly, replied, “You want one too? Then, next month when your birthday rolls around, I’ll get you a name-brand purse.” My second was even MORE excited, “Great, I’d just designed something new too, then, I’ll send in an order for a t-shirt for you then!”, fine, I’d put aside if they’d meant it for now, hearing how my two sons were willing to, “treat me like their girlfriends, and giving me what they’d given to their girlfriends too”, my feelings of jealousy leveled out.

It’s just, not long thereafter, my eldest started, “Then, can you wire a little more money to my account, otherwise, I won’t have enough money for food.”, and my second too, “I’m not in a hurry here, wait until I’d picked up the deliveries from the super convenience shops, then, you can hand me the money!”, my sons took that matter-of-fact tone, they seemed to not understand the difference between a “present” and “ordering for someone else”.

with his mother…

My sons are older now, they’re, in love, as a mother, I suppose, I’ll have to, cope and deal with this sort of differential treatment. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, mom’s feeling the stress right now, but mom doesn’t want to talk about it anymore here.

So, this, gives you a closer look at HOW your sons are going to behave, if they were to marry, and now, it’s just their girlfriends, and you can understand, how moms are different from their girlfriends, right? You don’t have to impress mom, she’ll love you no matter what, while girlfriends, you will try hard to impress, so that, is why you’re all more than willing to spend a WHOLE lot of money on your girlfriends, and not your moms.

now, his girlfriend…
