I love my mom to death, but she really just ticks me off sometimes... Those of you who are in chat frequently probably already know how bad my eyes are bothering me. They get super blurry to the point where I can't read anything, and by the time it's all over, I have a terrible headache. Apparently Mom just doesn't understand how bad it is affecting me. [b]Three Months Ago...[/b] "Mom, my eyes are bothering me really bad again." "Well, I guess you'll just have to go to the eye doctor." [b]Two Days Ago...[/b] "Mom, my eyes are really really bothering me bad. Worse than usual." "I guess you just need to go to bed then." [b]Five Minutes Ago...[/b] "Mom, seriously, my eyes won't quit this crap. I need something done about it." "Kayla, *sigh*..." "MOM! Listen! My eyes are bothering me really really bad!" "What's wrong with them?" "Have I not explained this ten times before?" "Kayla, what's wrong?" (I explained it... again.) "Well, I guess you're just going to have to go to the eye doctor." "Mom... *sigh*... gosh." "WHAT?!" "For once, I'd like it if you didn't blow this off. Apparently you don't understand how painful this is and how much it's bothering me." "I don't blow this off. I never have!" "*sigh*... Whatever." I really wish she would just listen. She has 20/20 vision and nearly perfect eyes, so she can't empathize, but I would really like it if she'd just listen. Any (possibly creative) ideas on how I could get her to listen and understand how bad this is bothering me? Because, honestly, I feel like I've done all I can do.
