OMG! this statement triggered a memory...."I'm my freaken mother!" Hate that

My mother was physically disabled but incredibly independent. As I have mentioned before... I was a complete self centered jerk throughout my childhood. The memory triggered is of my mother working hard to clean the house, while of course I did the bare minimum to help and then sat on my ***. I remember at one point watching her struggle with the vacuum, getting angry, repeatedly exhaling loudly and eventually throwing pieces of the vacuum. Of course as total jackass it was until she started to cry out of frustration that got off my *** and said, "If you need help just ask, don't cry." Her response was simply, "I shouldn't have to ask." I was such a total jerk. I guess what comes around goes around.

This raises another question. When people are aware of where your are and what you are dealing with... "Should you have to ask directly as if you were asking a complete brain dead teenager?"
