Mother Vent

mrsbryan1006

Please understand this is less of a vent and more of a SMH moment. I am not upset over this, more just needed to laugh about it and be done.

If anybody has read my previous posts, my mother and husband have a rocky relationship. They both have issues with one another, they do their best to keep me out of the middle by just ignoring each other. I made them both aware that even them ignoring one another is hard. I did not ask them to change it, I just explained that sometimes, especially during holidays, I hope that one day I can spend it with my husband and daughter AND have my mother present.

My cousin is getting married, my aunt threw a bridal shower for my cousins soon to be wife. My aunt asked my husband to help cook the food at the hall since he is a chef. My mother made a point to go into the kitchen and thank my husband for helping us out and told him the food was very good. My husband said it was no problem he was happy to help.

The part that got me, my aunt told me the next day that my mother made sure she told her three times that night (and everyone else in the room) that she was nice to my husband. Like for real? Did you do it just so you could tell everyone you played nice?

I made sure I called her and thanked her for trying. Still, SMH.

What's SMH?

It's good that your mother is trying. She's using it to get attention, oh well. The only damage it does is make her look petty.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Just because other people make a big deal out of something doesn't mean you have to, and it will save you a bit of anxiety.
