Mom vent....

So as I've mentioned before, I'm in school full-time. I've been in school full-time for a year now so its not something that is new to anyone in my family. This weekend my mom and step-dad came down to visit to pick up DHs Jeep that we are getting a new motor in. Normally when they do this, they are here a day and a half at the most, usually half of Friday and Saturday and gone first thing Sunday morning. This works great and gives me Sunday to do homework. Well this just so happens to be my last week before finals, I have a major term project due tonight (that I've barely started - but is typical for me) and a test I have to take. My mother is lecturing me about not playing on the internet so I can get my work done faster and its been constant since they got here on Friday!!!! I'm 27 years old and been at this a while now! I am on the dean's list (GPA of 3.7ish) all while working full time. I obiviously don't need to hear it! And I didn't ask for you, mom, to take an extra day down here during the worst possible weekend for me when it comes to school. ugh....I can't wait for them to leave in the morning...

Sorry for rambling and the vent, I'm just sooooo frustrated!!!!

  • I would have to tell her "Mom, I'm a grown woman and been doing this a while. I don't need you to tell me what to do anymore.  I appreciate your concern."

    Thanks! I really need to work on being more comfortable with having an open relationship with her. For some reason, I don't feel like I could tell her something like that - probably because I know she wouldn't take it well, but I shouldn't care.

    Good news though is she finally left this morning!!! Woo Hoo! I have my house back Big Smile

  • So sorry you had to deal with that.  I know your pain.  I have a mother that does the same thing.  Even this weekend when we went to Houston to visit some friends, I got the "can you afford to take the time off?  What about your students?  What about your cells?"  Um...  they are fine mom.  Hang in there and know you aren't alone.  (However, if you find something that works to get her off your back, let me know because I sure as heck haven't found anything to shut her up in 31 years)  Wink
    Bobo says smile!!!!
