I remember when I was nine my mom promised she would stop working, or at least work less when I was around 12-14. Here I am, 13 and my mom hasnt even worked less, in fact she opening a new business. My entire life i've been jelous of my friends who's moms came with them on field trips, whos moms dropped them off or walked with them. I've been jealous of my sisters seemingly perfect relationship with my mom. I've always told my friends it doesn't bother me she works so much, it just how its been, for as long as I can remember. Some of my best memories with my mom came from when i was 4 and a half, before my sister happened, before his business got big, before she was always working. I tell my friends it doesn't bother me, i tell myself i'm fine with it. I've been lying this whole time
