At times I kind of wish my mother wasn't so interested in TCM.
Her taking classes + me being the only child = she has nobody else to practise on.
Sometimes I think it's good that she's doing what she likes / is really interested in...
Sometimes I wish she wouldn't point out all my apparent ailments.
And sometimes she just randomly bursts out into her assessments / diagnoses.
Which is scary cos she doesn't tell me she's looking out for those things.
This results in a kind of you-never-know-when-you're-being-watched feeling.
I don't like it :(

That and how it makes her look worried.
Maybe because she's my mother and she has every right to be concerned about my health (or apparent lack thereof), but, well.
Naturally I don't expect her to be all chirpy when she's telling me about these things, but, again, well.
If I could, I'd hide all those signs and symptoms so she wouldn't have to worry about me.
Obviously I can't, because sometimes I don't even know what she's looking at :(
The way she says it sometimes, you'd think I'd have dropped dead of health complications yesterday. Or a week ago.

[And part of it is also because she gets angry when I don't want to listen to her. But I'm really not interested in knowing how gravely unhealthy I am T_T]
