Does anyone else have a mum like mine? She has very little sympathy for me. Tons for other people though! It's not like I'm someone who wines constantly or cries wolf, but when I have an issue that I'm upset about or a professional dilemma, then she seems to be very hard hearted...
She also does this thing of "passing messages". For example, we'll be discussing an issue and she'll say "well, I have a friend who did xyz...", instead of her telling me her opinion. Or she'll hold the baby and then say things like "mummy might want to enroll you in a crèche soon" instead of talking to me directly, I find it annoying. I'm not sure whether I've explained myself clearly.
