What should I paint my mom for mother's day?

@Fernie: Our house has wallpaper, so I can't do that (the only room that doesn't have wallpaper is the living room, and my dad is very strict about keeping it white).

@BlackBloodDemon: Just a thought...and your Dad needs to loosen up....anything that would help your Mom heal should be done. You know what she likes...you'll come up with the perfect picture and she will cherish it.

@Fernie: It was a nice thought you had (and I could have painted a few things on the wall, too). You know, it's funny what you said about my dad, because he cares deeply about his wife, and wants her to get better more than anyone. The problem is, he pushes my mom around more than anyone. He says that she needs to rest, but yet, he asks her to do this and that when he can easily do it himself.

@BlackBloodDemon: Very sensitive observation. Ask your Mom how she feels about that...it might be fine with her...then you can stop worrying about it.

@Fernie: My mom gets irritated at that fact (she complains about it to me and my siblings), but she doesn't say anything to her husband (mostly because she doesn't want to upset her husband). She helps out others even when she should be taking care of herself (probably why I'm like that, too).

I can't even count how many times she helped out her family (her parents and siblings and what not) when she had her own things to get done (she set them aside for last).

@BlackBloodDemon: She makes her choices. You care about her enough to worry about how she's treated ..unfortunately there isn't much you can do to change it. Only she can. Just keep loving her...it makes up for his behavior
