This might sound mean...
but I am not a big fan of my mother. I haven't spoken to her on the phone since before Thanksgiving when she was driving me nuts calling 10+ times a day. She keeps leaving me voicemails again - she can't seem to understand that I work during the day. I sent her an email today saying that today is my long day and I work until after 9:00 and that she could email me whatever it is that needs, but she refuses to communicate by email and asked to schedule a time to speak with me. Honestly, I don't want to talk to her. I don't even care if I talk to her anytime soon, and I don't care about seeing her for Christmas or if she gets to see the baby when he/she is born. As much as she's annoying me, I have a feeling I'm going to go off on her, and there will be no contact for awhile.

i'm the same way with my mom!
i moved across the freaking country to get away. and then she followed me out here. the only time i see her is when my sisters or brother get the family together. other than that, i just can't handle her.
With all due respect, I think it is ok for anyone, including me, to express frustration with a mother without being considered ungrateful, or whatever you might think. I am very sorry you do not have a mother; I obviously do not know how that feels. However, again, mothers can be very annoying - just like any other category of person on the planet - and it is ok to express this!
I've never had a good relationship with my mom. I had no relationship with her (my choice) from sixth grade until I was 23. I reunited with her at age 23, and things have been rough since. My mother is very controlling and selfish. She expects everything to be done the way she wants it or there's hell to pay. If my sisters or I have an opinion different from hers, she yells at us and disowns us. (I'm not kidding - we get "disowned" at least once a year.)
Right now, I've just about had it with her and her selfishness. When I've tried to address it with her, she goes months without speaking to me and then nothing changes.
So there's the backstory - there's much more history than that, but I'm not going to make you all hear that.
