There was a fight at home today about the most silliest thing.
But then fights at home are always about silly things.
Because my parents are from a different generation.
I cannot expect them to always understand.
And father is always hot headed.
These days father is always cribbing about money.
I tell him to be patient and wait.
But then he doesn’t really have patience or peace of mind.
Apart from when he is with my nieces.
He doesn’t really have anyone to tell his worries to.
Mom has her sisters.
I have you guys.
Father doesn’t really have anyone.
He has problems he doesn’t share with anyone.
It keeps running in his mind.
So whenever he speaks to us, he complains about it.
He gets annoyed easily.
So yeah.
That’s his state of mind these days.
Little context.
Every decision at home regarding repair, money, documents.
Etc.
Is done by father.
He is specific about that.
He takes care of everything in that area.
Everyone at home has their own field of expertise.
So we stick to it.
That’s how it is.
Always.
Little more context.
My parents sleep in the hall.
The bedroom is mine.
They turn off the lights at 10pm.
So do I.
Because I don’t want to disturb them.
I switch on the fairy lights till I’m sleepy.
Because the light doesn’t disturb them.
My nieces keep pulling the fairy lights when they come play in the bedroom.
They have broken the lights more than 3 times.
Sometimes the battery dies.
I have replaced the fairy lights so many damn times.
In the end I gave up.
So mom asked me to buy a zero watt bulb.
