Anne has been in a hassle with her mother while in hiding to change that Anne decides to listen and find out why her mother is always getting on to her in the past. In diary entry Sunday, 2 January, 1944 in paragraph 5 it says that “She did love me very much and she was tender, but as she landed in so many unpleasant situations through me, and was nervous and irritable because of other worries, it is certainly understandable that she snapped at me.” What she means is that her mother was facing more difficult things
like keeping her family feed,well and warm while they are in hiding, and does not have time to have to punish Anne and Margot.
In addition,Anne has said so much to her mother that she wishes that she could take back; therefore she has taken it upon herself to keep her thoughts to herself. In the diary entry Sunday, 2 January, 1944 in paragraph 7 it says that “I usually keep my mouth shut if I get annoyed and so does mother , so we appear to get on much better together.”What she means is that every time she gets angry at her mother she shut’s her mouth and takes a deep breath to cool off.
Furthermore,In the past Anne has taken her life way too seriously as in the little fights with her mom made her angry with her mother and her mother angry with her. In her diary she wrote things about her mother that said she was not the motherly figure that she always wanted. In the diary entry Sunday, 2 January, 1944 in paragraph 6 it says that “I took it much too seriously, was offended was rude and aggravating to Mummy, which, in turn , made her unhappy.” What Anne means by this is that she took her fights too hard against Mummy.
In conclusion Anne is maturing by listening to what her mother is saying , shutting her mouth when she is steamed and not take life too seriously.
