Mom vent.....

I am so frustrated with my mom. She has never been the warm fuzzy mom anyway. I just found out yesterday I will be laid off at the end of the school year (you know, like 5 days from now). This happened last year too (pure seniority based) and I was recalled 3 days before school started. It was so stressful. I can not do it at 8 months pregnant. We decided I will take a Leave of Absence. If I just wait it out, I could collect unemployment if I don't get recalled but if they do call at the last minute and I reject it, I can't be rehired with the district for 3 years. Taking a leave is the "safe" thing to do.

So, I tell this to my mom and she starts badgering me about our finances. We just bought a new house and she says "How can DH afford that house on his own? I know what Dad makes and DH can not make that?" Uh. It's really not any of your business what he makes. I tell her "he makes enough. Things will be tight for a year- no nights out or trips, but it will work out." Then she goes on to lecture me about the dangers of credit card use. I know Mom. I have not carried a balance since I graduated college. Neither has DH. Seriously- we are 30 years old- I think we can figure out what we can and can not afford. 

Okay.... vent over!

    Uuughhhh! Moms (and sometimes dads) just don't know what to do with themselves if they can't run your life anymore. They have a permanent need to tell you what to do!!

    I'm with you.

    I just hope I remember this when my kids are grown and don't nag on and on like this too... :-)
