The Mother Creature arrives tomorrow for a stay of unknown duration. Actually, I'm not even positive it is tomorrow that she is arriving

I think some people, like your mother creature, just seem to be talented in miscontruing everything. My mom gets like that when she wants to only look at something in a way that favors her. Or in the case of recently, disfavors my dad. I guess all you really can do is try to ignore her as much as possible, and just think everything you'd really like to say (yell) to her. You can't rationalize with people like her. It just won't work. And I'm sure there was a point to this, I just can't think of it. You have my support and utmost sympathy in any case. *huggle*
My grandmother is, I think my version of the mother creature. While I love her dearly, at times she drives me absolutely nuts. Have you seen Gilmore Girls? My grandmother is way too much like Emily Gilmore.
I never quite feel like I'm good enough for her, and it's hard to hold my tonuge around her at times, or not get my feelings too bruised. That's why I was so upset during the Christmas holiday. It hurt a lot.
I need to know what the plan is, MC is the same. We need not stick to the plan...but we both need to know what the plan is...in advance. If the plan affects *other* people...it must be kept, and they must be on time.
So did you ever talk about the hanging up/argument? or did it just remain unmentioned?
How can you mother be anti-catholic...she married one, that is insane!
I hope you survive the visit - and that you feel better.
Allie, I see what you mean. *points up* Yeah, what they said! I agree. I find it really hard to respect my mother when she treats me like a two year old and I understand what you mean when you say its become an obligation. I always feel like I'm preparing for a siege when she comes to stay.
Never mind if any of the Mother creature's remarks are overheard by others. Look at it this way, it will reflect on her and not on you. Enjoy the occasion and don't let her attitude spoil it for you.
As for 'what have we become', dare I suggest patient, caring and tolerant? As for 'what has she become'... I'll let you fill in the blanks yourself! *grin* *hug*hug*hug* Cara
