Update on the "Mom" dilemma
Ok, as if her first call wasn't enough. She calls me at WORK today...says she has two things to say to me, she'd appreciate me listening the then she'll let me go. The first thing she says is that given many different circumstances in my current "situation" she felt that it was a very legitimate question for her to ask me why we didn't "do something to protect against it" when I know how easily I get pregnant. To that I responded that frankly it was none of her business.
Then she goes on to tell me that SHE would appreciate it if I would take my anger towards HER out on HER and not HER grandbabies.....as if this is all about HER. When she called sunday I was already stressin because my 11 yo wasn't listening worth a flip and my 3 and 4 yr olds were misbehaving and being very whiney. So I yelled at the kids a few times while she was on the phone. I just told her that she had no idea what had gone on at MY house before she called.
Then she says "that's all, you can call me when you want to, I love you" and hung up
WTF!?!?!!?! I think I know what her prob is. When my H and I were split up, I talked to her a lot...almost every day...I asked her advice etc. Now that we are back together and working on things, I don't call her as much and i don't ask her for as much advice. I think she's jealous. I know that sounds horrible to say about my mother but that's exactly what it seems like right now. Atleast I have friends who are actually happy that my H and I are working things out and that we have a new little blessing coming. Phooey on my mom...I think she owes ME an apology for being so blasted rude. I'm 30 years old, my sex life and what's involved in it is NONE of her business.

ARGH!!!! So now she calls me telling me about the article on caffeine, and now she's just chit chatting away about it.....she's telling me about how she's signed up to be a volunteer for some pregnancy outreach thing at her church.
LOL, yeah my mom tends to get this way sometimes...I'll let it go and if I don't call her she'll eventually call me. I just need time to stew and get over it. So does she. I just think it's **** that ASSUMES all these things. And it also gets me that she keeps referring to circumstance in my situation...WTF??? I work full time, my h works full time, we have 3 kids that are taken care of...one more is NOT going to impact our lives much more than it already has...it's not like this is a first child and it's going to completely change the way we live. Oh well, she's just cynical about most things.
she might have some issues of her own going on and maybe venting them on your news !! That is a bit deep when your mom wants to talk about the bedroom !! Try not to stress to much about it you need to relax and stay calm right now !!( i would say have a glass of wine but you cant !!)
i think she will eventually...after all out of me and my brother I'm the only one who still seems to give a **** and I'm also the only one who's given her grandchildren
