CrazyVent-Crazy Mothers
So, Thanksgiving was supposed to be wonderful. My first Turkey, me and my FH cooking together, how could that be bad right? Well, my mom came to visit from FL for 5 days and this was the first time meeting FH's mother. We picked her up at the airport and the minute she saw us she started complaining about everything. Thanksgiving day was even worse. I wanted her to relax and let me and FH worry about cooking. But, she had a fit that I wouldnt let her help. My mother-in-law gets to my house and my mother was so anti-social with her. They spoke 2 words (if that) to eachother. Also, my mother proceeded to insult my FH, and my cooking!!! The rest of her visit progressivly got worse. We are moving and we showed her the new place, which she complained about. She complianed about the weather, the neighborhood, even the quality of the air in NY!!!!!! Then she had the nerve to say that I was being mean to her. She also said that she feels as if she is losing me to another family!I wanted to make her feel better by telling her that could never happen, but she continued to say that I was not going to include her in my new family. I can understand her, I am an only child and she may feel threatened. But it's the way she handled her feelings that bothered me! She made everyone around her uncomfortable!!!My poor FH just stayed quiet and tried to make me smile. Then later told me that my mother and I are 'crazy' I dropped her off at the airport this morning and we didnt speak one word to eachother in the car. All she said to me when she left was 'good luck with your move' what the hell is that all about?! So now I'm left feeling angry and guilty all at the same time! Only a mother can do that to a person! I'm also angry because I feel as if she is not happy unles I'm feeding into her ego. She shouldn't try to make me feel bad that I am starting my own family and my own traditions. I'm going to have to reconsider having turkey day at my house next year! Thanks for reading my vent. Hope everyone's day was better than mine!!
