So I'm brushing my teeth, and mama slams the door open. She says oh sorry, I thought the bathroom was empty. I say it's ok, I'm just brushing my teeth. But K'BYBIB, mama.

What? K'BYBIB? What are you speaking in? Hebrew or aramaic?
No. English. It's an acronym: Knock Before You Burst Into (a) Bathroom.

A very simple rule, that everyone should follow. But a few days later, the exact same thing happens, and I repeat the advice, knowing I must've said this to her about a hundred times already.

On another occasion, she gets up from the dinner table in a hurry, then *almost* trips and falls to the ground. Her feet got stuck on the chair. Anyway she's fine. But I see this happen and say be careful mama, get up slowly or you could fall. Free your feet before you try to start walking.

Same pattern as before, she doesn't listen. So it happens again, and thankfully she also doesn't trip this time, but the problem is obvious. She may fall one day, or worse God forbid, and we can't be there at all times to make sure she doesn't get hurt.

This is constantly on my mind. Nothing serious has happened yet. Emphasis on "yet". Seems like a matter of time, and I hate to say it, but I don't think I can stop this. Mama doesn't have any disabilities, she just has to be more careful, but refuses to listen. So yeah. I'm only stressing and that's that, God willing.

    @retoor How is HE (your dad) in a very *not obvious* [CLOSET] to be, telling you what's in it to boot? Don't you know what being in the closet means? ;>

    And yes, my mommii. I was broke for years and years, but she never kicked me out. Thank you mommii <3

    Regarding the last sentence, I can't beat much around this one, so full disclosure: I'm thirty. I couldn't *legally* marry the girl because I had no money. We still very much meant to get married, and could do so now, but sadly she passed away five years ago; God is sufficient for us and he is the best disposer of affairs.

    On a lighter note, I'm doing fine.

    @jestdotty I had a friend go through the stuff in the house, now he's not welcome any more. Mom really doesn't like it, can't say I blame her 😅
