About belching and family standards :$?

There is a virtual spectrum of behavior from primitive to civilized. Your Mom has defined her position on that scale, which is a disappointment to you. I agree with you. It is important to honor and respect our elders, and she is making that impossible for you. I wonder if she is doing this because she herself was shocked when our culture declined to allow such things and she does it now as self defense.? Well, whatever. Its good to hear from a young person who still values civilization with its traditional standards. Dont retreat.
