So my lovely sister had a surgery recently. She had her ...um...internal female parts removed.
We sit making small talk to try to cut the tension. Well the word Cancer had come into play and we discussed family history etc.
So my Mom in her infinite wisdom looks at me in the waiting room and says....
"You might feel better if you just had it out too...." I said no I will deal with whatever comes along.... and she says, "well is might ease your mind and you aren't going to use them anyway."
Thank you Mom for giving up on me once again.
She has given away or sold all the toys she was saving for my children. I have been given the blankets that my late Grandma made for my children (it is traditionally a shower gift given to you). She purchased the "final set of stockings because we aren't adding anyone else to the family"
Why should I not begin to expect these things from her? After all we had to buy back some of the family heirlooms from a local consignment shop. She wouldn't give them to us or let us buy them because we "couldn't afford them". Well I bought them for half of what she wanted to sell them to us for :o)
Boundaries are a wonderful thing! She has been home from the southern regions of the US for over 2 months and we haven't had her over to the house...and have no intentions of making that invite. We are doing great at meeting at neutral places...so far....
Anyway....Mom is still crazy....
