text: does my parents have a problem with me holding balloons? i find it hard to take balloons when i am with my parents. they always give me the cold shoulder when i take a balloon. 2 days ago, i went to a carnival and a woman there gave me a pretty big balloon spider. i was rather happy to hold the balloon.   when i saw my mum and she saw me, she stared at me and for that whole day she did not talk to me. this is not the first time it happened. quite some time ago(about a year), i went to a party and brought some balloons home. i thought of giving it to my sister but then my mum saw the balloons and forced me to burst them. i dun know whats wrong with holding balloons.  is it the balloons or is it my mum. i am really sad about this pls advice. maybe your mommy thinks a 25 year old should have grown out of kids' stuff like balloons by now.
