Pretty sure this is how my parents view me.
I've been doing translations for my mom since I was a teen, the wonders of a first-generation immigrant family. ๐ซ
Parents don't know how to file taxes, they made me do it for them, so they can save money from having to pay an accountant.
Like, wtf dude, I barely underatand taxes myself. I don't even understand my ancestral language enough to have the right vocabulary to translate it. Some day, the IRS and gonna audit the mistakes I made then my mom will yell at me for fucking up their taxes. Like what did you expect, mom.
And like all the bussiness licenses that she had to apply for, I had to file all those applications and stuff.
Every phone call with customer service of banks, utility, phone, internet, mail, like everything.
So tedious.
But yea she keep bringing up how she gave birth to me, so I "owe" her this.
Yea okay mom, maybe you're right. Don't blame me if you get an IRS audit.
(Sorry if this is kinda going on a tangent, kinda wanna "off my chest" this)
How do you owe her for something she decided to do? You had no say in the matter.
