vietnamese guilt

My mother is always trying to move on to her next life. I don't know why she is in such a hurry.

When she is mad at my dad, it's...
"I'm not going to get married in my next life."

I'm pretty sure my father doesn't want to be married in this life.

When she is mad at me, it's....
"I don't know where I went wrong, but I'm going to be better the next time around."

For those not familiar with Vietnamese guilt, it means that I'm the punishment for her sins.
I counter with,
"Dad doesn't want to be married to you."

Okay, I don't say that. But mom better watch out, I might not be so nice in my next life.
