I have to disagree with gadgetwambo.
I've seen workaholic control freak mothers, before. The type who feel needlessly guilty about taking even the most well-earned of 5-minute rest breaks...unless she's too exhausted to enjoy it. And, even then, once she gets her second wind, she gets up and starts looking around for more stuff to do! Even if she's legitimately caught up on _all_ her chores!! And, what's worse? Whatever idea she comes up with next, she feels has to implement it right away. And, everyone else should instantly--and literally--drop whatever they might be doing to help her!!!
Patricia might be an extreme version of that. But, she's definitely not an implausible (or excusable) one.

Not quite , she is jobless for now but she still has a lot of her past weighing on her.

This is one of the most fucked up stories I have ever read. I love it. Great chapter, definitely continue!
Author's Response:
Thanks...I guess. I thought there would be more fucked up stories though,this one is mild in comparison to them.

I think here you should change "Wendy" to "Patricia":
“You can come out from behind the couch; I’m still hungry,” Patricia said from the corner of her mouth.
“Look, she’s your daughter,” Alvin stepped in as he heard the slamming of a door. He swallowed, unable to imagine what Wendy had to be going through.“ She wasn’t behaving like one. I’ll give you...” Patricia took her phone out from the back of her shorts and glanced at the digital clock face.
---------------------
Anyway as for the chapter. Now I understand that Wendy now wants to stick up for Alvin and whatnot. And Patricia isn't exactly the nicest person around, but I understand why she behaved like that...It sucks being the parent sometimes, especially after losing a job like she did.
And then to come home and see your kids acting like everything is fine in the world while you suffer, and then to have them talk back to you like that...It must have hurt. And it's not like she was calling Alvin names or hitting him, she just demanded a meal in a clear manner, which is completely reasonable in my opinion.
I don't know, Patricia doesn't seem that bad, I actually am taking her side in this one. Wendy and Alvin should be more concious of what their mother is going through. Honestly, Wendy behaved like a spoiled brat, regardless of how pure her intentions might have been. Alvin at least was willing to be obedient, but left for his sisters sake.
Good chapter, I'm eager to see where things go from here...
Author's Response:
No that is supposed to be Patricia, not Wendy.
Remember Patricia is jobless at this point and that Wendy feels guilty over what she did so she is compensating for that by making sure he doesn't have to do such things ever again.
Thanks for the review, I'll see if I can push out 2 more chapters before I put this on the backburner for the sake of school.
