NWR Really Annoyed

omg I am SO aggravated. My mom is DRIVING ME NUTS.

First of all: Family is coming up to visit soon. Usually when they come, they stay in my room and I stay at FH's house. This is usually a MAJOR problem because I am always doing like 5,000 things at once and I really need access to my computer, my files, my books, etc etc etc etc. With all the wedding & e-party planning, researching PhD programs, it is REALLY hard. So I told my Mom I would buy an AC for the front room upstairs and they could stay there (we have cots, so there will be beds). I told her I would set everything up. She starts a HUGE commotion about how that is going to be 'such a burden' for her and how she has 'enough going on with the Engagement Party.' I did not ASK for help for the E-party, she has done things but all have been unsolicited. I did not ASK for anything. FH & I were going to take care of it.
PLUS having them stay in the other room will make it SO MUCH EASIER to surprise her. So trying to do a nice thing for her (and me) and she has to make a big fiasco about it.

Second of all: She ordered the food. I SIMPLY ASKED HER what food we ordered so I could make menus, and I asked how many bottles of soda she thought we should get. She gave me a nasty reply about the soda 'You figure it out.' Now she's running around the house screaming and cursing about how she can't take the stress, and how she 'can't do it anymore' b/c I asked about soda & food!

WHAT
THE EFF.

parents take a breath. remember to say 'thank you' and 'i love you'...and just try to move on as best you can without letting her get you nuts

GL!!!!! i deal with drama like this on a regular basis....its ridiculous, but what can u do

dont ask her. just do it urself. the more u involve othe rppl the more stress its going to cause u in the end. if u run out of soda.. so what. let them drink water. ny has the best water in the world lol.

if u buy too much. who cares, ull end up drinking it , right?

dont sweat the small stuff. (dale carnegie-wrote the best books EVER)


all im saying is, pick and choose your battles. i wouldnt involve her at all. do what u have to do.. and she'll just have to deal.

Thanks ladies

To make matters worse, I'm sick today, and she's still up my @$$. All 'why'd you have to bring it up?? you should've brought it up another time.'

I said 'you never listen to me.'

Whenever I try and bring ANYTHING up, she just shoots me down and says 'We're not talking about this now.' She's such a pain; I can't wait to move out of this he11 hole.
