Mom be like: "Why is nobody around when you do something like this?"
oh my god, just please stop using your son as your trophy. It's seriously embrassing, and it's saddening that there are parents in real life who also acts like this (I know coz I experience the same). I kinda use to be like Ian who just do what is expected of me, and that burned me out, really. Every achievement feels like an obligation; that's why I don't even feel like celebrating them. But now, I am slowly healing, and I speak up whenever they do things that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I hope Ian can freely express himself to his mom also :)
