Sometimes. But she's got nothing on my stepmother. I actually love my stepmother as a parent, but holy crap is she neurotic! |

I choose "no" and "she drives me crazy". She can't annoy me because we don't talk. But she still manages to drive me crazy. She moved a while back and didn't tell me, no forwarding address, no call, nothing, just gone. We have never had such a good relationship though and she did something similar when I was younger, so I wasn't really surprised, just hurt. I had sent her a note right before this happened (on Mother's Day) to let her know that I'd never know why she did all of the things she did to hurt me, but that I could move past them, and that I was sorry for anything I may have done. I never heard back. I don't know how parents who do things like that can find it acceptable. But my relationship with my father has become much stronger since, so I guess some good has become of it. |

She used to make me crazy!!! Many days and nights of tears from interaction with her! But I still loved her to bits  |

Like a mosquito out of hell! Lately we've been getting along very well, and she's been very supportive and comfort-food-cooking about this whole morbid funeral thing with my best friend's dad, she pretty much hit the roof when I ever so subtly announced I wasn't planning on going to college. However, after she wound down a bit, she did say this: "Although, with your last report card, I do see that you have little incentive to do so." "Hey! At least I got an A in Phys. Ed!" "Didn't you say your teacher didn't know your name?" "He does...I think." |

There are occasions...Offering stupid advice that wasn't asked for. Sometimes when she's excited she dances around and makes clucky chicken noises, it makes her look like a big goof. That's about it though. I only see my parents about ten times a year. Mostly, they are quite wonderful. |

When I lived with her, yes! But now we are like best pals.

no, she was great but she is dead now. |

It's that mother-daughter thing. Let me tell you, I asked my thirteen year old daughter what she planned to eat for dinner since she had evening plans that started before our family dinner time ... and she rolled her eyes and huffed and generally made it clear that I had completely trespassed all over her personal autonomy and how *could* she have been burdened with a person who was just so *annoying* in her life. Have I ever felt like that about my mother? Am I breathing?

My mother is a walking ball of stress and irritation. I can't stand her a lot of the time because often it's just worrisome nagging and yelling at me. |
| Amanda | | posted 18-Jun-2002 2:08am |
No, my mother is great. She used to annoy me at times when I was younger, but not anymore. Growing up everybody thought my mother was great and all my friends wanted to hang out at my house to hang around my parents. I couldn't understand it. As I've gotten older and matured, I've realized how great my parents really are. Plus, with my mother being so sick now, it's hard for me to picture being annoyed with her. I'm trying to enjoy whatever time I have left with her. She went to the doctor today and they advised her to sort out any "unfinished" business. She's started planning who she wants pallbearers to be and songs to be sang and/or played at her funeral. It's a sad time. |
| Dino | | posted 18-Jun-2002 7:34am |
No, she's fine. We were very close when I was growing up. Now I find there is a little distance between us. I phoned her last week and at one point there was just silence on the phone. I was forced to say something to get the conversation going again. I didn't talk long as she interrupted to say she had stuff in the oven. I don't call during Eastenders of TV either. I guess one or both of us is changing. I don't know. I had a week off last week and I said I was contemplating coming down to visit and she said I didn't have to I should relax and sort out my apartment.
Strange! |

I find it more fun to blame Jesus. After all you're hardly his little sunbeam now are you! |
| moonstone | | posted 18-Jun-2002 10:53am |
Sometimes. But, I can usually laugh it off. I can never stay mad at her for more that 5 minutes. |

My mother doesn't annoy me, but my mother-in-law is a petty, gossip and some of that gossip is about me. It's very annoying. |
| dlp34 | | posted 18-Jun-2002 3:02pm |
On a rare occasion, she'll do something to annoy me, but she's really a wonderful person. |
| Biggles | | posted 18-Jun-2002 4:50pm |
Every now and then, but not generally, no. |
Enheduanna  | | posted 18-Jun-2002 6:48pm |
Yes, sometimes. I get along with her pretty well and I like talking to her and spending time with her, but she does do a lot of little things that annoy me. |
Galomorro   | | posted 18-Jun-2002 10:01pm |
This does not apply cause she is deceased since 1981, but she **used** to annoy me because when she took up with my stepfather, the two of them used to get too drunk, too loud and silly, and then deteriorate to verbally abusing each other, again very loudly... |
| Cleo | | posted 19-Jun-2002 1:58am |
No. My mother has been dead since I was 12 years old. |
| autumnlight | | posted 19-Jun-2002 8:40pm |
Sometimes she does. she forgets that I'm nearly an adult sometimes, but compared to my father she is the best parent ever! |
| moonstone |
Well, it wasn't always like that. My Mom and I have been through a lot, so I try not to let the little stupid things in life get inbetween us. |
| SueBee | | posted 23-Jun-2002 4:33pm |
We get along pretty well most of the time, but she certainly does annoy me at times. The most annoying thing is her long stories, which I've often heard before. And she talks SO SLOWLY! |

Very rarely...I love my mother. She just turned 73 on Friday! |

Sometimes, but I don't think that's too uncommon. |

My mother is always nagging at me to do something, or if im not wearing what she wants me to wear, or have my hair perfect. If I ask to go somewhere she flips out saying im never home, when in all actuality, im never gone! Then, she looks at my brother and says you can go wherever you want, whenever you want and you dont have to help here at all!! Grr..wow, that felt great just to let that go! : ) |
| Sarah1982 | | posted 28-Jun-2002 8:05pm |
She really loves her job, which I'm happy about, but it causes her to tell me very long stories about it, all the time. |

My mom called me yesterday. She started crying right off the bat and asked me if I'd visit her. I immediately thought she just found out she was dying or something drastic like that and start to panic and ask her why.
Come to find out she only wanted to make me feel guilty. I ended up yelling at her telling her I wouldn't feel guilty for something I hadn't done (she accused me and my 2 sisters of not loving and her and refusing to call or visit). I ended up feeling guilty anyway... |

My mother keeps writing to my daughter and asking her if she can come and stay with us for a visit, "....if it's ok with your Mommy." Bypassing me completely and trying to get an invitation to come for a holiday. UG! Holiday for her, work for us. She doesn't understand that we get no paid vacation time, our house is waaaay too tiny for even the three of us, and getting proper health care here if one of her varied medical problems flares up would be extremely stressful and difficult. She questions me constantly about my diabetes and my weight. The last time she came she stayed all summer and said something hurtful to my daughter, thinking it would make her behave. I love her. She has some very great qualities, but I feel she tries to manipulate me so she can get what she wants.

I cannot tell her any of this because she is very very sensitive and would cry. |

Sometimes my mom can get really annoying and i have to get away for a while... but other times shes mad chill and i can tell her anything and i love her to death.... she's the only person that i would take a bullet for |
| NthenSome |
I said "sometimes" and "something else to say".
She does annoy at times, but only when I've given her every last possible reason to be annoyed with me. Since we kids have been on our own, my mother has only shared her opinion about something concerning us 1)if asked or 2)leaving it just that - her opinion. We don't have one of those mothers who has to put her wisdom into everything we do. We know it's there so we ask when we need help.
She always turns out to be right though. That's what annoys me! |

She can't, she's dead. But, she always did |

::sighs deeply:: Yes, thank you very much. You wouldn't believe me things about her until you met her. Just one example, when we go shopping, if the sales person doesn't kill him/herself to help her, she is immidiatelly calling the manager and starting the fight about how could he or she employ that person. |
| weepydebacho | | posted 25-Sep-2002 2:19am |
Sometimes she does, but I'm a teenager so I probably annoy her and my dad as much as they annoy me. |

Not as much as she used to be, but I have the benefit of being seperated by her by an entire mountain range. |

Mothers have the ability to work a 30-years gone umbilical cord like Zorro lighting matches with a whip! In your Mom's eyes being born was like asking Don Corleone for a favor (if any of you out there haven't seen The Godfather you won't get that reference, but too bad! I ain't explainin' it!). She has the uncanny power to envelop you in a soft warm blanket of love at the EXACT same moment she is driving you FUDGING CRAZY! And don't get me started on Mother's Day. Christ, it's like a mushroom cloud that radiates guilt as opposed to the more preferrable lethal doses of gamma radiation. |

Constantly finds fault with me and no other siblings, I think she finds my kindness for weakness. Never has anything nice to say about me. Ever since a child. I am now a grown man and the damage this can do is amazing. If some one ever singled me out and said what a good person I am, she will replay all my kids are good because of me. Go Figure. |
