back from my intermission

He makes me crazy...

to say that my mom is BSC!!!  Sorry ladies...I need to vent for a sec.  My mom and BIL had a lame falling out way back the week before my baby shower (was mostly BIL's fault).  Anyway, BIL lives with us and, since he and my mom had a fight, she doesn't want to come over to my house.  Fine.  Then another time (probably 2 months ago) my mom wanted to come over but I couldn't clear it with DH first because he'd left his phone in my car.  When I got home he totally wasn't up for company, got mad and left.  So when mom arrived I was frustrated and, unfortunately, I was honest with her that it just wasn't a good time because DH wasn't up for company.  So, she's taken this really personally and won't come over anymore.  I really don't know what to do, but I've worked really hard to make her feel welcome and I'm stuck in the middle.  Since then she's had a wall up and been completely hot and cold with me...which has made me feel indifferent toward her.  It's just really sad bc we've always been quite close. 

Today she tried to call me out on it over the phone and as soon as I started to say my piece, the phone cut out.  I called her back over and over.  When I finally called her land line and she answered, she said she didn't want to talk!  WTF!   I'm frustrated & I don't know what to do.  Rational conversations aren't happening with this woman lately.  There's sooo much more background story but I don't want to air all my dirty laundry here.  I need a drink. 

*blondie*

After reading your post I need a drink as well.

I'm sorry that your mom is being a pain in the arse about coming over. Want to trade for a few days? My mom has been here for a week and I'm ready for a break.

That sucks!  I don't know if it's your guys' "style" but maybe try to write out an actual letter explaining everything and send it to her.  That way you don't have to worry about her interrupting you, technology crapping out, or anything like that.  Even if she doesn't come around, it might make you feel better just to get it off your chest.

I don't have any solutions, but I can offer empathy.  My dad is totally like this.  He's so bad that I literally stopped talking to him at the beginning of December, and didn't have any contact at all with him until Christmas Day.  So, yeah, I get the parent drama, and it sucks.

Sorry to hear you're having to deal with this, too.
