What u have right there is probably a reasonably normal parent....I'll swap u for an alcoholic father that rambles on and on about the same story he has probably told u twenty times in the last five minutes, not to mention last week  PRINCE IS WATCHING U  " When an Artist Creates, whatever they create belongs to society"
U can't polish a turd.. but u can roll it in glitter In my Profile Pic | |

Living with your parents as an adult can be a real pain and make everyone crazy.
Whenever I'm in a situation where I'm living or visiting a parent who is acting crazy I just tell them that I agree with everything they say and lay low...like real low. My motto is "I don't fight with crazy" and I find that it works most of the time. So if you're moving out in a few months, just lay real low and agree with everything she says and soon you will be on your own and all this will calm down. Hopefully. | |

I learned this from watching my mom and my grandmother. My mom would always end up getting so frustrated with my grandmother and it was hard to see. So I told her, "don't fight with crazy." It's my motto, it's starting to become her motto, and it makes life so much easier. | |

my mom is a total bitch and flips out over every little thing that isn't worth flipping out over, she's very insensitive and unempathetic cause everything was handed to her in life and she's emotionally immature though she acts like the know-it-all around her friends, it makes me sick!

Ok, but on a serious note... I make it a point that it is so "hateful" to talk so cold to or about other people. My aunt that raised me (who I love very much) says things that are so not right! I never understood it, but I am the only one that can make her stop... (of course she has to get the last word in )... I say, "Why do you have to be so hateful!"
Now, I really believe... perhaps she is or has always been bi-polar or something of this nature, only in her generation... (being nearly 80), there was not the "diagnosis" as there is now... for she has always been real quick to say such mean things, her mood changes out of the blue... When we are alone, just her and I... she is fine, pleasant... but around other people, she just acts crazy. There is no changing her, but I will not stay quiet and go along with her rudeness, it's just not right, not around me. She knows this and these remarks are short lived, more so around me than with others. She knows where she stands around me... and I will not tolerate her remarks, especially concerning my sister. I don't know... I just wish she did not have to live with such negativity/hate, but she has never been any other way. Despite it all, she really is extremely giving and has a good heart, will do just about anything for anybody who is in need... the two just don't go together, which makes me believe more so... that an underlying issue (for years) has never been addressed. Because I love her, I continue to try and make sense of it all... and still value my time with her while she is here. I don't agree with her at all... but we still enjoy our time together, as long as there is very little talking involved. No really.
She loves to cook for me, when she visits, she does many of my house chores, I take her to the casino, grocery shopping... or to a craft store, out to eat, or she loves to cook. These things don't require conversation, which use to be kinda sad... but it is best. Whatever I say, she does not relate with... or even know how to respond for the most part. So less talking is best... or, if she is sharing something positive, I simply listen. However, social events... I dread. I still take her... why, because I love her and I am grateful for all she has done for me. You don't have to agree with someone to love them. 
... She only stop talking to me once, but it was not for long. But she knows her reason... for me was not acceptable and we have never talked about it since. I definitely don't share my life with her, not in detail, not anymore. Now, my biological mother and father are a whole other story.  I come from the land of whacks. Help me. 
Maybe I felt the need to talk about this, it's always so puzzling. ~Smile. [Edited 2/4/08 7:16am] | |

I am very lucky because I get on with both of my parents (with the exception of teenage angst). They are both very loving, caring and a good sense of humour. With 5 kids and 18 grand kids they need a sense of humour!!! "I may not agree with what you say but I'll fight for your right to say it"
Be proud of who you are not what they want you to be... | |

I get these sort of comments a lot from ppl that know my parents, "Wow, you turned out surprisingly well considering...". In looking back they both had bad upbringings and lots of crazy stuff happen to them, so I guess maybe they turned out well considering. I love both of them but some times I still do not agree with the way they were when they were raising me. Which is the main reason I have never had kids, I would hate to perpetuate the craziness. | |
