Ok, I've always taken care of my mom financially, emotionally, and every other way I can. She's got some mental probs and such.
Anyho - She calls me yesterday when I was tailgating for the Jags/Colts game. Gave me a guilt trip about spending $ on the tix when she needs new tires, etc, etc...
Then she starts this sob story about how she doesn't think we take her seriously when she says when we do have kids that she is moving in with us to take care of the children. (This is a little hypocritical considering I will be taking care of her AND kids) But then she starts in on how she thinks she is NEVER going to be a grandma and she doesn't have any other children to give her any. (We haven't told anyone we were ttc, u can see the drama we have already without telling peps this detail)
EXCUSE ME!!! I am trying my ######est here. It's not like we aren't "doing" it right. It's not like we're not giving it our all. GET OVER YOURSELF!!! AURGH! I was so pissed that I just eventually had to hang up. I was going to enjoy my day, with MY hard earned $. I did not need someone giving me a guilt trip cause we haven't popped out 10 kids on demand. I was not about to hold her hand and give her my condolences when it's ME needing the support. I think it would just be easier to tell everyone we are barren and maybe they would stop thinking ONLY of themselves. Sometimes I hate my mom so much. This is just a tip of the iceberg I have had to deal with my entire life, cause yes, I am an enabler!
Maybe I just not cut a check for her rent in Jan! Maybe then she wouldn't complain about all the stuff she doesn't have that I haven't been able to provide her!

Mother's are the worst, aren't they? And to think she wants to live with you to help out-no way is my mother running things.

I am sorry! How frustrating! I have an Aunt who is just the same way with her daughter! Sometimes I think parents just need to GROW UP!
