Coulda sworn you were talking about my mom for a minute there.

My mom is one of those people that thinks everything she does is the right thing. So she's blamed pretty much everything on me. She's also somewhat well known (at least among my friends) as somewhat of a con artist. For example, something will happen and she'll provide the appropriate stock response, then when she's needed to actually *do* something, she backtracks.

Some examples:
I got engaged and she started working with me to plan my wedding. 3 weeks later, I got kicked out of the house without a word. I paid $10 and got married downtown.

I told her I was pregnant, she decided to host a baby shower. Then when I was 7 months pregnant, she backed out, so I set up everything myself.

And over and over in this fashion. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to move away without warning, we're business partners. So I try my best to think of her as a business partner and not my mother. Kinda hard around the holidays, but that's a whole nother problem right there.

Y'all are responding like I came from a pod or something and don't have a mother. Guess why I don't get talked to and don't have to go "but moooooom goddddddd"? Because I set boundaries and stuck to them. Its the same advice I give everyone. Act like an adult, set boundaries, enforce them, provide consequences. Its hard, life is hard, it won't change otherwise.

Nah, but advice and opinions are like a heinie. Everyone has one, and 'sides you know... different strokes and all.
Wait, are you offering to stroke my heinie?

Gawd... sorry Whisky... I deleted my post... I was thinking, it didn't read the way it sounded in my head... so I was going to try again.

If you need a heinie stroke... I can find you some one... lol.

Edit: No... it sounded too serious and maternal... when I was trying to be silly. Ah well.. it's now 6:50 PM CST and I'm having a drink..
