There’s still an old saying that mother

knows best, right?

JC: Hi Robert! How are you today?
Robert: I’m doing great. Thanks for asking. How are you?
JC: Well, something is bothering me
Robert: What’s bothering you?
JC: Ever since my father passed away, I took his place in making decisions at home. However, my

JC: Yes, I know that but sometimes, I want to make such decisions that I feel is right for me.
Robert: Pal, I suggest that you talk to your mom about that before things get worst. Try to be
decisive now.
