So don't get me wrong. My mum is a really loving and kind person. She cooks for all of us everyday, takes care of us and our home and always sends us in the right direction. We all love her so very much.

 But what she doesn't realise is she stresses us out alot. She is by nature a very negative thinking person. Everything WILL go wrong, even before you start thinking about it. Also fellow asians might be able to relate...she constantly compares my siblings &amp; I to her friends &amp; relatives kids and is never happy with our achievements because someone else did better.

 I'm the eldest of 3. I have a law degree. Since I got the degree I have worked in a few law firms and given a fair share of my income as well as an extra hand of support, but the legal field seems to be stressing me out big time and I took a break from work (now for about a year). She is very unhappy about this. Constantly compares me to her friends kids who are working and "hustling". Honestly I took a break just to take care of myself a bit more. My previous job at a law firm really gave me a hard time and I even ended up getting sick (PCOS from the stress &amp; sleepless nights working) and still take meds for this. I'm married (so financially I'm not a burden to my parents) and my husband is very supportive of my decision to quit work for a while and he is completely fine that I don't have an income right now. I won't be like this forever-ofcourse I want to work hard and have a successful career but temporarily will need a break. But my mum is constantly unhappy with her 3 kids. She loves us alot and so do we but why is this situation with her causing so much stress and sadness 😔 if she could see this all I wanna say to her is mum we love you but please trust us and be happy with what we are doing 😔 maybe it's not the same as ur friends kid or relatives kid but we will get to the top and work hard but in our own ways 😔💜
