Scenario: Sheree visits her mother in her retirement home. They catch up on each other’s lives, and soon enough they get into an argument about Sheree and her unwillingness to have children. The argument always escalates at this point but this time Sheree takes a moment to reflect on the reason behind her mother’s persistence in having a grandchild. Sheree remembers that out of all her siblings, she is the only one who is married and perhaps this is why her mother is anxious. She comes to a decision that she will hear out her mother’s side of this argument and to keep in mind that her mother just wants what is best for her.
