WTFF!!

I was going to post in the randoms but then decided it was a bit long and maybe other were having a What the F Family! moment.

Had a fight with my Mom yesterday over SS and school. New school and with SS being behind and struggling we are getting calls because teacher's are concerned. She basically thinks that everyone is just blaming SS that he isn't trying and that everyone just sets him up to fall. No, the school is calling because they see him struggling and want to know what is going on and what they can do to help. Is he trying...Yes. His he putting extra effort into school...No!! He still wants to be in the mind set that he doesn't have to think about anything school related once school is let out for the day. So if school ends at 2:25pm he doesn't think he should have to do anything else school related until the next day. Um Nope.

Then since she is all riled up she start to demand if she has to start rearranging the house so we can move it b/c it's going to be a lot of work and all. **note: the way is is acting during this fight is a prime reason why we don't want to live here** I said no we are not moving anytime soon we have at least 6 months possibly more before we have to leave our current house and she knows we would rather get an apartment instead of live there.

Next she launches into how we (DH&I) keep them( her & Dad) in the dark about what's going on with everything with the business. Um I didn't realize I had to send you a daily memo about what happens. You are not invested in the venture other than its your daughter and son-in-law's business.  Does Dad know maybe a little more...Yes. Dad doesn't flip out like you do when we discuss thing and dad has a better understanding of the business wold than you do. She think that everything is personal and still like to bring up the I shouldn't have been fired from AVF and the my boss there is a drug addict and whack job 2 YEARS LATER!!! Seriously!! Really!!! Why? Why do you keep dragging that out of the grave I put it in. GET the EFF OVER IT. I have. I hated that place I wasn't going anywhere it was a dead end.

She then goes into yet another rant about how I don't know how hard this spring and summer have been on her emotionally. OK maybe I don't but because I know you get super emotionally involved in my life I don't tell you things. She had a big fight with a long time friend a few months back and the fight involved myself & DH because we but together a website for her Dog business. After we showed her the site and she payed (which wasn't a lot). We launched it and she asked to take it down the same day b/c she didn't like some of the wording. Ok well all you did is give us some really old bad picture of your show dogs. So we asked her to write something out on how she wanted things to sound or say. She never gave us anything. I had explained that doing a website isn't something that is easy and you need a lot of information to fill the space but she didn't' want anyone to really know anything about them or the dogs. So the point of the website is??? This person was basically my Mom's only friend. She doesn't have people that she spends time with. She was never that type of person. She basically stays home does a few crafts and stays in her bedroom all day. 

 Vent done, thanks.

Re: WTFF!!

  • I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with family woes.  Hopefully things calm down soon.
  • I hope it gets better for you. Sounds like your mother needs to grow up.

  • Yeah, that's exactly why I try to keep firm boundaries with my mom. I love her but she gets overly involved. I feel bad for my sister and her husband, they are living with my parents and have no personal life. One good thing, it keeps her outta my business since she's so involved in theirs LOL.
