fair or unfair

"I you need to go check the laundry...When are you going to take a break and clean? Are you going to clean your room for me, before you leave?"

These were all questions I was asked today as soon as I got home from work. I love my mom to death, but when she ask me to do things in that manner I feel more like a slave then a daughter.

Is it wrong that I don't want to do things when my mom ask me in the above manner?

My room has suddenly becomes her's..I have heard things from "I was use to using your room when you are gone and now you have stuff in it. Can you move that ponytail out of my viewing area? to That bag has been there are while, it is starting to bug me can you move it?" There is also the invasion of privoce. I will come home or call while I am gone a few days and say "oh I borrowed this, I hope you don't mind."

Eachday I become more and more anxious to get out on my own again, and mess being in college out of state more and more.

Humans or Giant Panda Bears



The other day while sitting on a plane reading the USA Today, I came across an article about a Giant Panda at the San Diego Zoo that was about to give birth to her 4th baby in a year. Gestation period for a Giant Panda ranges from 83 to 163 days (average 135 days), and usually have one to two babies at a time. Humans typically can't have one in that time frame.

That isn't the crazy thing about this article, after the baby is born, it will be shipped off to China to be apart of the Giant Panda Breeding program. So my question is why is China saving Panda's and killing humans? Granted Giant Pandas are endangered and humans are not, but if the Giant Panda can have at least 2 to 4 babies and humans usually only have one baby year(this isn't counting those that have multiple births i.e. twins, triplets, etc.) shouldn't the Pandas be pretty well off( especially with quite a few in captivity)?
