I often criticize my mother because I feel insecure. I live with her. My mother is a maid in a hotel, works an eight hour shift, constantly grocery shops or cleans, watches an hour of news every weekday, and sleeps the rest of the time. I never see my mother read or explore other activities, and it makes me nervous how close minded she is. She's either cooking or cleaning whenever she has free time. I often encourage my mother to read to broaden her mind, or do something more challenging and intellectual, but she ignores me. I don't think the problem is her, I think it's myself. I get so nervous when I see her cooking and cleaning whenever she has time on her hands. It seems like a compulsion. I value education and being informed and aware, however, I'm very insecure about being stupid. I seem to be projecting my insecurities onto my mother. I don't want to be pushy and annoying to my mother, but I just want her to be smarter and to take better care of herself. What do you guys think? Thanks.
