My mother just called to see if I was coming over for dinner tonight. She's going out with a friend so it's not like she's on her own. I spent all day Wednesday with her (it was her bday) so it's not like I haven't seen her. Yet she sounded disappointed that I wasn't coming. *sigh* I will not feel guilty for choosing to have a life of my own

Her words were, "I don't know why I bother to say anything to you because you know everything already."

Get out of my house! My mom... yeah. Same sort of thing, all the time. Yet when I try to give her information or advice she brushes it off like I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about.

Either we know it all, or we know nothing. I wish they'd make up their minds.

Well, I should get back to work. I'm doing a deep cleaning in the kitchen. Why? Because I'm insane. I get this crazy idea that I should reorganize the kitchen and the next thing I know I've pulled everything out of the cupboard and am washing glasses I had forgotten I had so I can put them back until the next time.

I had the same plan for today. Then the plumber ran into trouble installing a new vanity and the water has been off all day. I really want to wash my hands.

Amen to that! It's as if I'm just supposed to sit there and listen to her words of "wisdom" and not point out that I'm really not a complete idiot.

I hope he gets it fixed soon. I hate that feeling.

I sort of want to make flashcards with direct quotes and dates on them, so I can whip them out when my mom contradicts herself.

Love the icon. ;-)

My mother would simply deny making the statement. I think some of it is she does forget but other times it's a selective amnesia.
