The Brother
My brother is a very unique person, not in such a good way. There are many qualities that i want to talk about, but i think his dependence is the quality that i want to talk about the most. Since my brother was very young he wouldn’t do anything himself. Since my mom likes to get things done quickly she would do things for him in stead of struggling with him and wasting time. This was absolutely not the way that i was raised, so i would always tell my mom that she shouldn’t help my brother with every single thing. Of course she knew that taking too much care of him was not a good thing to do, but she couldn’t help it. But sometimes my mom got sick of having to do everything with him and for him so would not care what he did. Yet, the results were always disastrous. For instance, one time, my brother could not get done something for school and he wanted my mom to finish it for him. My mom refused and told him to do it alone, and he simply did not go to school. At the end of the turmoil my mom did whatever he had to do to send him to school. He’s just like that. In fact, there were many incidents similar to this…
I always tell my mom that this is the result of the excessive care that she gave him when he was young, because when i was young my mom would just go out for swimming everyday. Consequently, i washed, brushed, and fed myself since a very young age. But my mom tells me that my brother has different genes, and that if she did that to my brother he would not go to school… Well, my mother’s the expert but i just think that my brother should not me this independent.

My brother will not eat anything if it is not cooked and brought in front of him. It is SO annoying and I think it is ridiculous because I think everyone should be able to at least just get something out from the fridge. Whenever my parents leave out of town, they tell me to “feed” my brother which I hate doing because I just don’t think it’s my responsibility. If he were like 3 years old, I would gladly do it but he is just 2 years younger than me and I find it lame that he can’t do anything in the kitchen, not even a fried egg. It is already annoying to even think about it!

I have heard stories that mothers in China are attending job interviews for children.
