I thought my relationship with my mom was going smoothly lately but this weekend it changed….again. Ugh! Yesterday was Memorial Day and I told mom we may or may not come to their house. We decided not to go to their house and stay home. I got the third degree from her and she even was trying to tell me that dad was guilt tripping me.  Ridiculous!

I don’t understand why we have to go to everything. It’s not like anyone talks to us or cares what we have to say.  All mom does is care what the grandkids are doing. I have tried over the years to talk to her and all she is says “When the grandkids aren’t around, I’ll listen. Okay?” or “Not when so many people are around.” So….why should we go? Just to sit around and do nothing? Dumb.

Also when my mom called we had just gotten done ripping off the siding of our house and it was hard! There was these nuts that were stripped on to the house. I had to use my whole body and strength to get the board off. I was so tried and exhausted so I wasn’t in the mood to argue with my mom. I plainly told her we are not coming and all she does is hangout with the grandkids. She said my siblings are all going to be there. I told her they if they want to see me they know where we live. Ha! I was in no mood to be sympathetic to her. Also Jeff said he has never heard me talk to her like that. I told him when your exhausted things happen. Ha!

I watch people on TV and see how close some families are. They don’t know what my mom is like. Sometimes people say family is important. But does anyone have to put up with guilt trip after another. Then go to family functions to be ignored?! That is ridiculous! I bend over backwards for my mom but my siblings don’t. It’s because I don’t have kids. I get treated so differently because of that reason. It’s unfair.

Take Corey for example his family rarely comes to their house unless it’s to drop of their kid. Sure mom complains about it but doesn’t guilt trip him like me. She definitely sees me more than him. SO why do I have to be guilt tripped into seeing them. And it’s not like we don’t go over there or go to family functions ever. We go all the time. So what? We don’t go this one time and it isn’t even this one time. We didn’t go over there last Memorial Day. We didn’t get hassled like we did this year.

I am just mad. It’s dumb how she has to guilt trip me to do things with her. Since we go see them a lot. I would saw we see them more that they are only 45 minutes away than hour since they moved. And that is another thing we helped them move. We do all kinds things for them and they get angry at me because we didn’t go on Monday. On top of that I  will be spending all Saturday with my mom. How many of her another kids are going to spend all day with her? I do it because I want to not because have to lay down guilt.

I vented now I feel better.

I finally made some slipper socks. They were hard and I decided I don’t like making them. The heel part is the hardest.
