"and it was the first time I've seen it since I've begun taking dance"

Gosh, there's a phrase to think about and mediate on and think about and meditate on.

I love Debra Monk in that movie. She's such a heinous bitch.

"You're not sick. You just watch your weight."

Or something to that effect. But if I had a whiny daughter like fricking Maureen I might be a bitch, too.

Maureen: "I throw up half of what I eat!"

Mother Monk: "You watch your weight. Nothing wrong with that."

Thank you, Rath! I stand corrected. I only wish I had Maureen's discipline. I mean, girlfriend is DEDICATED to the cause, puking when she's sleeping over at the cute med student's house and on the boat when they're all being carefree and young.

Huh. I just started a thread about ignoring HDThoreau's posts and threads and I think it got deleted. It wasn't mean-spirited. I just thought everyone will be a lot happier without him.

I HATE when my threads get deleted for no reason!

PEOPLE FRUSTRATE ME SO MUCH!

Gah, I felt so emo when typing that, but it's true.

It started with my mom, this morning. I was getting dressed and trying to find a presentable outfit for work (because I work in a nice shoe store). And she's screaming at me to come downstairs and eat breakfast. I try to tell her that I'm finding something nice to wear and to just shut up - because I'm sick of listening to her complain. AND SHE JUST KEEPS ON GOING. Then, when I come down and eat, she goes "You just don't get it, you're in your own little world!" Excuse me? No, you're the one in you're own little world, Mom - you expect people to feel sorry for you because "you're stressed out" over your husband being in the hospital again. Guess what? I'm stressed out too, and so far, I've only snapped once - which is nothing compared to your lunatic ravings in the emergency room.


(sorry for that little rant, guys, but now I'm sort of feeling better).

Sorry, hon. I hate that you're going through all that.

[D2]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:08pm

OMG, PM - come over here and sit right by me - we're going through practically the same thing. Except I have the option of hanging up on mine when she gets out of control like that. I hate what you're going through too, and I can really relate!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:12pm

I'd hug you both, but I don't think that's allowed on this thread.

I hate that we can't ever really hate our moms.

[D2]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:14pm

I think that would be okay if we said we hated it.

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:15pm

I hate when people don't answer their damn cell phones!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:16pm

Who says, taz?

And D2, okay! I'll hug you, but you'll hate it!

*hug*

[D2]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:17pm

Taz has a cool mom. I hate that.

About that hug...

hated it. NOT! (See how I got around that?)

[tazber]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:18pm

well we can hate them, but in the end you'll probably regret it.

[D2]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:19pm

Just to clarify, I don't really hate my mom, but I do sometimes hate her behaviour and the way she treats me, my sister and my father.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 5:23pm

I wouldn't say hate - that takes too much energy - but, I've never understood when people say, "but she's my mother, so I love her".

Why is that a foregone conclusion?

Well, I'm glad someone can relate.

Seriously, the woman aggravates me to the point where I feel like punching something. And that's not right. Especially before I have to leave for work...and she knows it, too.



Oh and something else I need to add to my ever growing hate list;

PEOPLE WHO BLOCK THE AISLES WITH THEIR DAMN STROLLERS!

Okay, my store is pretty small, and the aisles are narrow - so one would think that people with strollers would respect that? NO. They block everyone's way and since I'm an associate, I have to be able to get around. It's just rude.

I also hate the parents who bring in their whiney children, who obviously do not want to be in the store, and proceed to tell them, "Shh, honey, Mommy just wants to look at some shoes" or "Shh, honey, Daddy just wants to try these pants on", etc.

They know just what buttons to push and when, PM. Try not to let her get to you. (yeah, I should take my own advice, ha ha ha.)

BTW, thanks for the *hug* Rath.

[Perfectly Marvelous]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 6:57pm

oh, she has already gotten to me because now I feel like crying.

Sh*t, I am crying as I type this. What a pathetic excuse of a human being I must be...

Anyways, she came home not so long ago and began to tell me how "self centered" I am. "I don't know what's wrong with you today" is pretty much the first thing that came out of her mouth. Well, Mom, let's see - you basically made me feel like crap before I went off to work, it's that time of the month for me, and I'm mentally worn out from school and dealing with my father in the hospital... so yeah, there's a lot wrong right now.

And furthermore, she accused me of "giving her lip" and she's the one doing all the yelling and belittling. Hypocrite much?



I just hate my life at the moment.

I really do.

I'm sorry, sweetie. She's taking out her fear and resentment on you, and you are understandably taking it personally. She's not even realizing that you're going through the same thing she is.

Maybe you should try talking to her calmly and remind her that yes, her husband is in the hospital, but so is your dad, and you should be in this together.

[Perfectly Marvelous]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 7:07pm

That's really good advice, Rath, thank you very much.


I'm sorry for just spewwing all my angst here, but alas, if I don't it'll only accumulate and Lord knows that isn't good. So I might as well do it here.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 7:15pm

Spew away!

[StageManager2]

Posted: 4/7/07 at 7:17pm

Rath, don't say that while I'm around.

Wow, the weekend got a lot worse at the prospect of Easter tomorrow. The problem with an adamantly religiously dichotomous family around the holidays is that the differences always devolve into trivial fights. I guess I'm stuck along for the ride.
