I am so lucky that I have self-confidence and am secure in who I am. Please let my daughter continue down the same path!!!!! Luckily, I think that any girl that can go to day-camp wearing pink satin PJ's with butterflies and ruffles (that are now stevie erkel short) with orange spandex shorts and a bright blue tank top will grow up to be secure in her self. That said my mother is totally opposite. She is jealous of my relationship with my sister and is constantly trying to give me guilt trips when planning my wedding because I don't call her daily with an update. For starters she lives in a different time zone! Now, I have tried to be more patient but for goodness sakes! I was talking aobut my guest list and she felt the need to remind me that I need to send her an invite. When I didn't respond she brought it up again. I told her that I did not feel her question warranted a response. Then she brings up last night that I need to send my brother one (whom I rarely talk to) and again I didn't respond. She asked about it and finally I got irritated (FI broke his finger, bad day at work and so this conversation was the icing on the cake) and told her that her comment was as stupid as asking if I was going to send her an invite. Now granted neither her nor my brother have much class, but come on. So now she is mad at me. I told her I am sorry if her feelings are hurt but I just don't have the energy to try to pump her ego. Obviously we are not that very close and I do try to keep the peace and be respectful but there are just times that I just want to say "Why me?"Thanks for letting me vent. Now I feel much better and I will call her tonight and smooth things over.
