My mum has always thought that everything is about her and its starting to irritate me a bit. I live in a really rough area and so naturally wanted to move...my mum insisted that I was only moving to spite her (as she also wanted to move) and did what she could to put me off, including telling me I'd never afford it. When I decided against it for other reasons she seemed really pleased, even though it now means that my kids will more than likely have to go to one of the roughest schools in the city.
When my cousin moved to a nicer area than the one he was currently in (where he'd been burgled 3 times) my mum started saying he was only doing it to spite her and that he thought he was better than everyone else! I pointed out that he wouldn't have given her a 2nd thought when he moved but she won't have it.
She thinks that my grandma favours all the other 'kids' to her, the last two times my grandma has had a hospital apointment one of her other daughters have taken her, my mum was furious and said she's always left out but the others have a car and live nearby, my mum doesn't drive and lives over an hour away! So anyway knowing how she feels my grandma told her she was at hospital this coming thursday and my mum could go with her...so my mum came away saying she was only asking because she had nobody else to take her and would have to see what she was doing next week first
Yesterday I phoned and she was in a mood because she'd taken my sister for her first piano lesson and the bloke was still in bed. She was kicking off saying how unprofessional etc and when I asked if he came to the door when they knocked she said "oh, we didn't knock...but the blinds was down so he must have still been in bed" so anyway I changed the subject and she immediately interupted with "wouldn't that annoy you too though?" so I said yes and continued with what I was saying and so she just grunted in the right places, making it obvious she had no interest at all in what I was saying before going back to the piano thing.
Has anyone else got a mother like this?
