A Classical Student
Here is some reading for the mother.
What the hell is wrong with this family?
The mother has high expectations. But she has zero heart.
Okay, let's look at it from the perspective of the mother. She has invested a lot for her son to succeed. And he didn't. Clearly, it seems like he's trying. But that's not good enough for this Tiger Mom. Hey, lady, your son isn't a robot. Give him a break!
I realize that there's a lot at stake and she depends on the son succeeding so he will grow up and take care of her. But she's insane.
The aunt isn't much better.
And that lodger doing the dirty work. Disgusting.
One would think the lodger is educated and he'll deal with the boy fairly. Wrong!
Obviously, looking at this story -- you blame the mother for being totally obsessed with grades and completely missing what a classical education is meant for. She is a parasite -- trying to get ahead on the back of a young man who is doing his best to carry the load.
The scary thing is that this type of parent is not that uncommon.
Vanya, you deserve better.
