DO NOT TOUCH MY PLANTS!

I love my plants dearly. I prefer to tend to my plants and water them myself. As I mentioned last time, I do not allow my parents to water my plants. I have been through a few times of overseas trips and coming back to see my plants dying from too much water. It pained me to see my plants die.

Tonight after my bath, I came out to see my mom watering my plants again! I blew my top. I had just watered my plants last night! I usually water my plant every 3 days. Those plants inside the house get the morning sun but they are indoor, so the amount of water needs to be controlled. As for the plants outside the house, they hardly get any sunlight, so they too no need too much water. Now then I know my mom still secretively waters my plants, plus myself, means my plants are overwatered! I had learnt my lesson the past few times NOT to overwater plants. They are supposedly growing very beautifully.

Just because the weather is hotter recently, and my mom herself is complaining about the heat, that does not mean my plants are dying for water too! And also because my grandma had recently reminded us to water our plants promptly, does not mean my plants are too dry! I tried explaining to Mom many times before, drooping plants may not mean that they are dry or dying. It can also mean they are overwatered and rotting inside! No wonder a few of my plants are drooping. She must have watered them without my knowing. I explained to her that I have told her umpteen times DO NOT TOUCH MY PLANTS. She got defensive and said so now it is all her fault. I said yes look at the times when I went overseas and when I got back, all my plants died! I told her Grandma's house gets the west sun hence it is very hot, that is why she needs to water her plants everyday. But that does not mean we have to water OUR plants EVERYDAY! I asked her why her ears are so light, she can listen to everyone else except me! If she is bored or too free, then go wash the bathroom! Yet she complains she is tired everyday! And my mom is not an illiterate old lady. She is an educated English-speaking lady! She is just too stubborn to listen or try to understand the reason why I said DO NOT TOUCH MY PLANTS.

This is a small matter, but the thing with me and my mom is, we have little clashes here and there. She likes to listen to others, my aunts, my sis, her friends, whatever other people says she believes. But when it is from me, her ears are deaf. That is why sometimes I am so exasperated. She is just too stubborn to admit she is stubborn so she blames me instead. That is why sometimes I prefer not to talk too much, to avoid conflicts. But I will flare if my plants die again. DO NOT TOUCH MY PLANTS!!!
