Open Mouth Insert Foot.

[darthtiggger]

Sometimes I can be really stupid.  I get caught up in the moment, I like to make people laugh and sometimes I just say something I really shouldn't have said.  I don't mean to hurt feelings I don't intend to have it come out the way it does, I don't mean it the way it's taken, but once said you can't take it back

I totally know what that's like. At times, it seems like I only open my mouth to switch feet. I don't think there is anyone in my life that I haven't insulted while trying to be funny, or at least put off in some way.

It's nice to know I am not alone in this. :) If it helps at all, I've never felt offended by anything you've said.

Mom and I have talked, I think we are all good again. She has had a life that makes her tend to beleive that people don't care for her or want her around, and I managed to stomp all over that. Because I'm talented and stuff.

I haven't gotten to know your mom very well, but I like her. I think we've connected over somethings & had a few neat conversations along the way.

I'm glad that she's coming to live in Camelot. I *adore* my mother and father, and I think that although we would mostly love living with each other, if we all lived under one roof we'd have some tough times with the space thing. I think parent-child relationships take a little more work than your average friendship. But it's also really rewarding to have those relationships continue on & grow beyond the caregiver/child level.

I'm babbling, but the gist of it is that your mother is neat, and I can see where living with a parent could have some rough spots along the way.

The good news is that I bet that she loves you, and you love her, and once we're moved in with space to stretch out and loads less stress - you guys will laugh about it.

Awwww *hugs*. I adore your Mom, including her profound sensitivity, which has its ups and downs, of course. Hopefully she'll come to understand it was entirely in jest.

Hmmmm, yeah, well, we all do that sometimes. If it makes your mom feel any better, I think it is impressive that you guys can do this at all. One of our many stops along the path to our new home was two months w/ my mom, and we had to leave while we still had some semblance of a relationship.

A supportive mom who thinks cohousing is a good idea (or at least a cool sounding idea) would be really great. A mom who thinks it is cool enough to move in is amazing in my book. Your mom has always been very kind to me and I'm thrilled she'll be in the neighborhood.

That said, if you guys do find yourselves wishing you had a bit more space now and then, that's understandable. All families drive each other crazy at least *some* of the time. :)
