Thanks Bettie for your post! I know that we both can relate to our Mother’s. I bought my Mother a TV as the one in her bedroom had died. When she opened it, she said that we don’t buy gifts for each other. I told her that I buy her a gift every Christmas. I think she said that as there were other’s present for Christmas. She did buy one gift, for my oldest Daughter??? I really don’t care as I don’t need anything and I am used to her doing strange and bazaar things!!! She either acts like a lion and attacks everything I do and say or she acts like a little lamb, fragile and weak. I know other’s that read this will think that I am mean or cruel but it is the truth. A lot of what she does is a act!! On my part, I am dumb for playing into it!! I have decided that after the New Year that I am going to start another path of my new life and I am going to meet new people and have a social life!! My Mother refers to me as her companion. I have to keep telling her that I am her daughter. Very irritating. On the home front, my Grandson woke with a sore throat. We will be staying home today in our PJ’S and resting. We are expecting some snow tomorrow. He told me last night that yesterday was one of his best days. We played Monopoly and other games and had pizza delivered. He told me over and over how much he loved me!!! That is what it’s all about.
