Here is something that I have experience this week-end. It was my mother funerals. And among her last will, I had a list of songs that she wanted to have during her funeral ceremony. The list was written by her own hand.
I did mention somewhere in Shannon's discussion thread that my main motivation to use AM6 was that I have been raised by my single feminist mother and that I lacked a good male model in my childhood. Hence I wanted to supplement this deficiency with the program.
Another side-effect of having a feminist mother is that she has raised her daughter with the feminist/liberal values. I kinda know that my sister's boyfriend was a beta and that she was a close to hardline feminist power hungy and control freak but last week-end I had personal clash with her...
We got a major disagreement because one of the ceremony song, she didn't find it good... To me, it was not a question of the song being good or bad. It was the choice of my mother. This is what she wanted. Her last will is the very last thing that she has left in this world. To me, there is nothing more important than that.
The argument has been extremely unpleasant. She did never let a single inch of compromise in her position. She wanted it her way despite my strong disagreement. I had to yield over the phone, hang up while she was talking because she wouldn't listen to what I was saying.
I ended up proposing a compromise where my song and her song would be played in sequence to please both us.... Even that fair compromise wasn't acceptable to her. The compromise has finally been imposed but this whole story did left a very bad taste...
It was only ME ME ME. My opinion.. My taste... My choice
It never occurred to her that it is ALSO my mother...
If she doesn't adjust her behavior in the next steps concerning my mother, I feel that something is going get broken in our relation...
