my mom cracks me up

I know I've posted about this before, but she's so passive agressive sometimes, I just have to laugh.

I haven't talked/emailed w/ her in 4 days and apparently, that's unacceptable.  She sends me this very formal email asking how I am, how is DH, how is DD, how was our NY, did I enjoy my holidays, did I work last week.

Ummmm - I talked to you 4 days ago lady, nothing dramatic has happened.  If I have something interesting to talk to her about, I call, if not, I don't.  If she wants to call me, she can call me (or email or text me), its not like I'm screening her calls or something.

Re: my mom cracks me up

  • My mom gets the same way. Heck DH's family never calls and hardly emails.

  • my mother is identical but never emails. Has hardly responded to the specific emails I send over the years but definitely not timely.

    Anyway I agree, nothing interesting to report then no need to chat. I dont care what she ate for dinner 3 nights ago and she shouldnt care what I did (just an example) I just hate 100 random questions.

     

    I always say I'm not going to be like that!  

  • My mom is similar but less confrontational about it. She's always saying "oh we haven't talked to you in forever!!" Yes, a week or 2 is "forever" apparently.

    oh, yeah, I get that too.  "I haven't talked to you in awhile" - how IS Ella?  How are you?

    Ummmm - pretty much the same as we were last week or 3 weeks ago.  If Ella has started doing multiplication suddenly or grew 2 feet, I'd probably have called you.

  • Oh what kills me even more is something like what happened a couple weeks ago. We took DS to his 6 month Dr. appt and it turned out that the receptionist at the office was the older sister of an old friend of mine and this woman used to babysit me. So when I get home, I call my mom to tell her about DS's appt and how funny it was that I ran into this woman. And I get on the phone with her and she's all "so hi....what's up?" Like she couldn't figure out why I called or thought it was weird or something that I called to chat...?

  • I have been lurking on here recently and after reading these posts felt compelled to post. My mom is the same way. She makes all these comments about me not talking to her I guess daily. If I haven't talked to her in 2 days she will say stuff like has anything interesting happened. Ummm not in 2 days. We are boring and nothing crazy happens in 2 days. lol
