Before you read the rest of this entry, a disclaimer of sorts. I know that saying these things probably makes me appear to be a horrible, spoiled person, but really I am just ranting, providing myself with much-needed catharsis, which is just one of the many delightful purposes of this journal.

So guilt-trip equates, in your world, to one expressing their unhappiness? Your mother, it seems, has been giving you money (something not all college parents do, as I sure know!) and since you didn't work for it, yes, it's her money and she does have a right to know where it's going. And for all you know, if she doesn't get some light shed on it, she can simply cut you off. Do you fail to realize that? She's CERTAINLY not asking to be SHOWERED with gratitude every "fucking" second - way to blow things out of proportion. From her email, it looks like you've taken it forgranted and haven't even thanked her.
You expect your mother to never express her feelings about this matter to you? She's not purposely trying to "ruin" your mood, and only someone so childish woudl think so. Yes, she has a right to know how you are doing, because it is HER money funding your education at a highly esteemed place where you are expected to perform at a reasonable standard. Failing is not highly looked upon, especially since in-state tuition is still several thousand dollars per year. How irresponsible and immature of you to respond in such a manner, taking your mother, YOUR PROVIDER, so in vain.
The reason she's telling you she loves you is to make it obvious that THAT'S why she's not cutting you off completely.

She cares about you - respect her. Grow up while you're at it.
