So, I've been lurking on this board for a few months just to pass the time. I looked in the yard one day and realized a llama had been born and he asked me for a knife and when I asked why he said to kill my unicorn. And that's when I realized I need help.
BG: My mother and I have always had a love/hate relationship. She had a gambling addiction when I was young and would buy my love and loyalty by giving me money or letting me do things that normal people wouldn't~tattoo at 14,tongue peirced, letting my boyfriends sleep over~ all while being a young teenager. Anyway, we have had lots and lots of ups and downs through the years. We have thus far only resolved our issues by rug sweeping. No apoligies really from either side~especially hers but because we are "family" we always just put it past us to "move on" She has said many bad things about my husband over the years and I would demand an apology and plan to TO her until I got one but my unicorn always made me change my mind without one. I could go on and on and on with BG because there is so much. She is bipolar but doesn't take medicine and refuses to believe she actually has it because she thinks the doctor who diagnosed her was in cahoots with her exhusband to make her lose her job. Also, *TRIGGER* my brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years back and took his life early last year so now I'm her only child* End Trigger
This is what is happening now: I am pregnant with twins to be born sometime late August. My mom loves to go thrift shopping and is addicted to Craigslist~I wish that was more of a joke than reality~ She has done a lot and gotten the kids a lot but she expects a red carpet of never ending appreciation for it. I really don't know if I can explain this right without sounding like a spoiled brat but I hope you ladies can understand. She bought me a really nice double stroller off craigslist. It has a lot of awesome features and I love it. A couple weeks later she sees a double stroller that has none of the features that are in my stroller BUT one side is pink and one side is blue and she thinks it would just be SOOOOO perfect for the twins. I told her time and time again I was not interested and that I liked the stroller I had. She kept telling me how PERFECT it would be,blah blah blah, even said that she would just get it for her house...She lives in Florida I live in Texas. If the twins were at her house they would be there with me and I would have brought my stroller. This would happen maybe once a year if that. I moved back to Texas in April '12 and haven't been back. We don't have a lot of money. Anyway, I finally got the point across and she dropped it. Then she moved on to a number of different things that I should or should not get. Right now she is on a kick about changing tables. I don't really use them, I have 2 other kids and didn't use them with either one and to be honest I am just way to lazy to gather up all my stuff, 2 babies, and go to a diiferent room to change them when I have a perfectly good ottoman right in front of me~if I had company over I would take them to another room but I have a perfectly good bed to change them on when that happens which would be very rare. So, we have it out and she eventually says that we will just have to "agree to disagree" on the necessity of a changing table and I tell her that she is the one who can't drop it. Anyway, since that conversation she has still continued to send me ads off of craigslist about different changing tables. One of them mbeing just last night so I sent her this message through text
Me: Hey, checked my email last night and saw that you sent me more ads from Craigslist about changing tables. I don't know how to be more clear with you. I do not want a changing table.
Her: I didn't get it because I know how you feel. I just want it myself for the nursery. SHe was giving it to me for $10. But I told her that you didn't want it. I was just thinking how I could get two baskets and make one DD's and one DS's.
It's just my dream, not yours.
Then she says "But did you like any of the rooms?"
I'm not sure what she talking about with the rooms thing. I don't know how to respond back to this. So far I have BH'd and would usually just ignore and nothing else would be said about it. Is this the right approach so far? There are other texts about other things I can post for llama noms and more BGif you want.
Also, I'm new and while I think I have my BGP I'm not sure how much spine I have.
