House Rules.  
I think the reason living with parents eventually becomes so unbearable is that while you are attempting to have respect for them as a parent and a person, they fail to understand that yes, you do count as a separate entity now, and therefore new rules need to be negotiated.

In short, the rule I wish to instate is: do not bitch to me about anything until my walking in the door after work is at least thirty minutes ago, because when I just walk in the door? I do not, in fact, give a flying fuck about your opinion on how my room should be.




Yeah, and every time I try to bring this to her attention she treats me like I'm an oh-so-cute five year old trying to be a big girl. Fuck. Off. I am this close to calling my mother a cunt to her face and I do not like that word.

So in short, [info]alleyne, yeah, that email/note re. figures would be lovely.




[EDIT] aaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuugheryeayrgehfjagsdfjagsdfksdfgsafhjasfgshdjfgs *just fucking screams into her pillow*

So, okay, you have a full time job. At the moment? SO DO I. And I'm still trying to catch up with family whom I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR MORE THAN THREE HOURS AT A TIME IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, IF NOT LONGER. And you know what? I do not stop at the full time job. I am trying to be productive on OTHER SHIT and TAKE A GUESS HOW MANY HOURS OF SLEEP I HAVE HAD IN THE LAST MONTH with which to do that on. Guess how many WORKING HANDS I have to try to not get myself fucking fired on three fucking hours of fucking sleep when I am having great difficulty standing upright and keeping myself mobile and cheerful so that people will fucking buy from me.

But of course, you don't shut your FUCKING MOUTH for thirty seconds to listen to any kind of fucking reason - and it's never a 'reason' it's always an 'excuse'. Yeah, because that's what mature adults do - deny every fucking thing that anyone else tries to say.

I'm sorry. If I had the room I'd let you live with me. *hugs*

It's only infuriating as it is because it's RIGHT AS I ENTER THE HOUSE. And it's not a calm, polite, hey, do you think you could, it's an attack - a passive-aggressive I HAD TO DO ALL THE DISHES WHEN I GOT HOME (which she did fucking not, kthx, there was no imperative at ALL outside her own neuroticism) or a WHY HAVEN'T YOU [gotten a job/bought a car/heard from your cousin in Canada about that job] YET. It's ridiculous, and entirely at random, and RIGHT THERE just as I'm thinking, oh thank god I am home and do not have to listen to ridiculous bullshit anymo--

Well if next time you get home and you don't want to listen to her anymore, give me a call and we can go for a nice, relaxing, peaceful walk or something :)

I used to get that too.

I told Margaret that I didn't want to talk to anyone for half an hour after work, and she put on that whiney 'but i'm your mother! I want to know how you are!' kind of thing.

Only the thing with her is it always seems like she's trying to get information out of you or antagonise you...that's just the way she feels ....

I told her I need to chillax sometimes, just get sick of pretending to be happy happy to customers at work all day but bah. She took it so personally.

One day we blew up at each other because of it and said some bad things to each other, she told me all sarcastically 'oh maybe I shouldn't be part of your life any more then' and so I uninvited her to my graduation ceremony.

She simpered and came to me later saying 'oh you didn't really mean that did you?' but I stuck to my guns to show her you just can't say random shit to each other in the heat of the moment and expect it to just blow over. You still need to respect each other, even if you're aggravated.

*puffs...

Ugh, mothers and their inability to realise that there are times and places for random yelling for no reason, and it is never just after you've gotten home. =_= You poor thing, that sucks!
