My Mom is just oblivious...
My Mom called me about 15min. ago. Always a one sided conversation. So, depressing to talk to her. She doesn't hear a thing that I say. She's pretty much talking just to talk. I'm trying to tell her what I'm doing today with the kids (her grandson's) and I must have repeated myself 5 times. She keeps cutting me off to bitch about the lady in front if a restaurant she's not even going to that's smoking. Then she goes on a tangent about smokers, against the law to smoke in front of any business, it's a disgusting habit. Usually it's her only only talking about your son, his girlfriend, your work, or your damn dog she's only had for the last year. This dog is on a pedestal. Chews everything up... Yet my kids run in her house and it's a bother. I swear she wasn't built to be a grandma... And apparently a Mom to a daughter (me). This is the age mothers and daughters really bond. Go places.... Nope. Why did she even call me????? We spoke about a fridge she didn't need to buy cause she already has a 1yr old fridge. I couldn't even get a word in. I had to tell her I needed to take a shower. All my adult life I've tried to be noticed... Probably really started on 7th grade. Straight A's 7th-12th grade. She has never boasted about that. Won a basketball trophy & I've never heard anything about that. My brother works 3hrs a day does collage online which she helps him when he realizes he has a day left to complete an assignment... Cause he was playing video games til 2am all week or at the cabin a state over with his girlfriend.... But, she boasts about him going to of all places WWE Summer Slam with his boss. "He must be really liked. Why would he chose him over everyone"? Whatever!!! Is what I have to say about that. My kids does great in a spelling bee... Nada from her. School plays she leaves her phone on or talks to her work. But, she goes to her 27yr old son's softball games.... Again whatever!!! I give up! I have to!!! If I don't I will sulk all the time. She is just not there for me. Physically and emotionally drained when I think of being around her. Idk. I don't get it anymore. I'm a hardworking mom. Amazing man that's a great father to our kids. Yet instead of praise I get the "you are over weight. You shouldn't be. You need to do this do that." How about I just had two his 3yrs apart. Last one 4yrs ago. I'm one big stress ball. My 7yr old was bullied all last year. I cried all year over it. My children are always on the go. I'm never lazy. I walk every day. It's just my metabolism. Nothing more. I've done it before. I've lost 57lbs on my own to pills just me.... Being diligent. I have kids, after school sports 3 times a week, breakfast lunch dinner.... Laundry, chores... 2hrs of homework each night. Husband studying for a new position at work. I don't have time for myself. So that is how every conversation ends. Unhealthy. I know I have to loose 65lbs. I know. I'm not stupid!!! 2wks ago is the first time in 8yrs I've had no children in my house during the day. Let me get thing how I want them and then I can focus on me. I hate when she calls me!!!!
