Oh mom…..
My mom and I both have the same learning problems. She can’t keep things straight and can’t remember things. I have a hard time reading and with numbers and remembering things. But she sees these things as bad things. That these things make us “useless” and make us “dumb”. But I’ve learned that its okay I can’t do math well. It’s okay that I don’t like reading. I have other strong points. But she beats herself up about being bad at things. You don’t have to be a great cook. You don’t have to like to work with money. You don’t have to play the piano. You have so many other qualities. You don’t have to be just like everyone else. It’s okay. So we aren’t geniuses. So I won’t get a 30 on my act. It’s okay. There are bigger things in life. Chill out.
