Hi Dinah!
Yes, I suppose for my Mom watching TV isn't all that bad. Some people could play video games all day and others might exercise all day.
It's just I do want her to experience more out of life.
I want to repay her for all her sacrifices for my sister and me. I know to repay fully is impossible, but I want to do what I can. As a Mom, she would say that us living a terrific life would be the best payment and I can understand that, however I wish she would be a little bit more indulgent of her own desires once in a while. But, maybe that would leave her feeling too guilty, so it's a balancing act.
She said she didn't want to come to my birthday dinner because she didn't want to get into the way of our conversations (since she doesn't speak English much at all). I guess she didn't realize I would love to just have her present!
