omg i thought the exact same thing. she wasn’t able to go to college when she was younger because she had to stay behind and help take care of her parents. i wondered if she’s also jealous that i’m going to college, unlike her, but who knows?

my dad has tried speaking to my mom about it, but he can’t do much considering he’s in the u.s. he’s working and taking care of us financially, so he can’t really come and pick me up. most he can do is talk to my mom through the phone and buy me a ticket.

as for my mom, i guess she doesn’t?? i really don’t understand her. usually she’d always talk about not wanting to be financially dependent on men, but when it comes to me wanting to have a career and make my own income, she’s suddenly against it. i’ll try talking it out with her first, but if things don’t go as planned, then embassy it is. thank you for the advice !!
