Attack on My Mom's Life
In all of my life I have done bad things and was corrected every time I did them by one of the most hardest workers in my family my mom.
My mom told me stories of how she lived and about her brothers and sisters. When she was young and used to live on a farm in mexico with about five brothers and sister in one small house, and they didn’t have a lot going for them, They ran short on food a lot of the times, and five of them died when they were just born, or at least that's what she has told me. My mother said that family matters got worse after a couple of years had passed, She said that her mother got really sick with something my mom couldn't explain. And my mom’s mom couldn't do anything for a while, and her dad was working all day and barely had anytime for his family, so she stood up and started to do everything that her mom would do like feed the family and wash their clothes with help from her Brothers and sisters. She took care of her mother and was like a maid to her mother and relatives But her mother finally got well and they had more help with the jobs they did in the house. After a lot of years passed her mom got better, she meet my dad, they got their passports and went to america to start a new family of her own
Now my mom has her own kids and husband and her life is sort of perfect. My mom never told me how she meet dad but I kind of don't want to know at all because she will tell me one thing and my dad the other side of the story. every day she has to deal with stress from her own family and her job. Struggling to cope with the situation and every day she deals with it and every day she tells us “The faster you do things that you're told to do, the faster you get it over with so get it done.” and I have Held on to those words every day. At work the same type of stress at her home follows her and attacks her from all angles. From the kids running around kid town and making mess to the amount of time she works there. One day when I was, After my mom put me to sleep, my mom told me that she had trouble dealing with the kids that don't like to listen to anyone and she tried everything she could do to stop them and then she put them in the timeout chair, and after that she wanted to go home, and all of this stress she puts up with is just to make a living and keep her family happy. but at home she dealt with the same problem. one day she made us work with her around the house and I was the only one who didn't want to do anything
