Stubborn Bro'

My parents returned home at around 8 PM and they asked me to do them a favor by taking my li’l bro for an express photo shoot. I fought my self not to say no, and there I was, driving him to take the photo shoot. The photo will be used for his visa-applicant interview at United States Embassy tomorrow morning.

Maaan, how hard it is to deal with a stubborn teenage. My family already planned him a holiday during Christmas-break, only he will have to leave the school earlier and come back later. In other words, my brother would have to skip school for a total about a week or so. I know my brother. He doesn’t like the idea to skip his obligations in the first place, unless in the case of emergency.

I’m proud that he has good reason of what he’s fighting for. He’s very determined yet stubborn. It was really hard to give him understanding that he can’t ask the embassy to wait until he has a free time; it doesn’t work that way. Taking him for the photo shoot wasn’t easy at all; neither will take him to the embassy for an interview tomorrow morning. I believe there will be a very long argumentation and debate tomorrow morning, which means I should get my shield and be prepared for a war…Hahaha… but, seriously, I wish tomorrow will be fine.

I reflected his attitude to myself, flashing back to old memories when I was at his age. Was I like that? Or was I even worse? I think I had (or maybe have) the worst attitude in the family, compared to my sista and my brotha. There were lots of fights, spanks, and tears involved with my parents then. But now that I’ve grown up and my parents have changed, we’re settled. We always try to understand each other. I just wish that my children wouldn’t be as stubborn as my brother or as bad as I am. But, what about karma……………? Do you guys believe in karma?
