I, too, think the mother should talk to the daughter about her actions and how they hurt her. Maybe the daughter didn't notice and go through the same thought processes, tell her why you're concerned about the boyfriend. Tell her how her actions of indifference/not caring hurt, and tell her that if she keeps spending like this she's gonna have to go get a job to pay for the extra expenses. Or tell her if she acts like she doesn't need you anymore, then the parents are going to consider going home to China, but they will always be her parents and she can always come back to them.
I'm a daughter around that age too, and I would never call my mom a bitch. Did the mom never teach the daughter some words are dire and should never be said towards loved ones? But yeah, communicate, communication is the key. If you don't tell them how you feel, they're never going to know. |
