First reason why I don't consider my spawner (or what some would call a mother) part of family.
Family understands my low spoon state and gets the clue that even the most basic tasks like cleaning or cooking or even feeding animals is impossible to me, simply because of NO SPOONS.
She does not, and says I'm lazy.
Family understands that my room is my safezone, allows me to regenerate spoons and generally I feel best doing my work there.
She does not, and she prefers to label me as an internet addict (it will shock you but just because I'm in front of my laptop doesn't mean I'm on the internet), she again prefers to call me lazy and says it's somehow a bad thing I will spend most of my life in this room.
