Just had an arguement with Mum

[mcity]

She said that I have a habit of making "excuses" for being wrong

This was after she said she'd finish wiping the counter, and then complained that I hadn't done a good job

I said that I hadn't finished wiping the counter, and she said that she wasn't referring to this occasion (lol moving goalposts)

She said that I have an inability to admit when I'm wrong

I pointed out that what I see as reasons, she always calls "excuses"

She said that's how she sees them

I pointed out that her word choice means she's incapable of seeing any of my "excuses" as right, which means that she's incapable of seeing herself as wrong

She glared at me and changed the subject

Said she hopes that I can admit, if only to myself, that she could be right

I don't respond that I may already have. I certainly wish I had made more friends in high school, and she warned me about that
