I will quote things you said to me, little Cali Chica, and ask you a question or two about each quote. Take your time reading and answering each question:

1. “she has to work all day and do all the work!”- did you try to help your mother do the housework? If you offered to help her, what did she say?

2. “my dad doesn’t help her with housework”- were you mad at your dad for not helping her? Did you tell him to help her?

3. “she has no friends”- did you bring your friends to her so that she has friends?

4. “these American people they have it easy.. The moms .. have fun, and don’t worry… why should they go do that and not my mom! that’s not fair!.. After all my mom went through doesn’t she deserve to relax and have fun!”-

– is it fair, little Cali Chica, for you to relax and have fun? Do you deserve to relax and have fun, to have it easy, like these American people?
