[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Stealing from SB- Ask a Knottie Anything : Yeah, I think my mom would react a lot differently if I was getting a job somewhere and moving. I'm still staying in school here and commuting, which to her makes no sense (and I can understand her argument). But I need to get away from the city and there are other reasons too, but yeah, I just hate knowing she is upset/disappointed with me. I'm a huge people pleaser, and I really haven't done much in my life that my parents have disapproved of (that sounds super annoying, I know), so it is a new experience for me. Very uncomfortable.

I totally understand where you're coming from. We lived right by the law school until December, when H graduated, so now I'm commuting. Even with the commute, we are SO much happier not being in the city. I think if you can express to your mom that you have good reasons for moving, not that you're just trying to get away from her or anything, then she'll come around. It sounds like you guys are close enough to where she will understand, even if not at first. My mom and I don't fight much either, so I understand that it's hard when moms are upset with us!

[QUOTE]My mom and I fight like cats and dogs, so I usually don't get too upset when the shiit hits the fan. Before she went on her depression medication, however, it was really bad. She would let loose a whole bunch of really hurtful things, constantly, whenever she was upset with me. Now I understand that it was because she was unmedicated, but it really hurt at the time and it has taken me time to forgive her for it. We're better now than we ever were, though.

When my husband was growing up, his mom was horrible to him. As an adult, he has no relationship with her and only recently found out where she is. She has depression issues but he does not want to have anything to do with her. I feel bad because she can't help it and he could really not careless.

baystateapple · April 2011

Don't worry, Cfas. I will always have a thing for Han Solo, no matter how old I get. Young Harrison Ford...delicious.

Oh God, three favorite movies? I'm still a sucker for Shakespeare In Love, after ten years. And I love The Young Victoria (Emily Blunt is AMAZING). I don't know. I have way too many favorite movies to pick even a top three.

hlq2011 · April 2011

Cfas - West Side Story. And FI, knowing this, DVRed it for me the other night

I didn't want to read them either, but got pushed into it by a college boyfriend, and was very glad I did. My downfall is I always fall for the more minor characters, who get much less page/screen time.

Didja know Luke went Dark Side once? Didja? It was in the comics.

Steel Magnolias. I can pretty much recite the movie, and I watch it back to back when it comes on Oxygen.

Musical, my grandparents wanted my mom and dad to build a house, like, across the street from them (my grandparents owned the property). My parents did not want that. They ended up moving about 40 minutes away. I believe my grandmother was very passive-agressive and didn't talk to them for a while, but then it was okay.

The interesting thing is that my aunt moved 2000 miles away about 10 year before and of course, my grandparents had no problem with that. They just expected my dad to be there and be more available to help them out and stuff.

Posted by cengle[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I think I tried to express the reasons, but I think she is just really trying to keep me here. Her biggest worries keep coming back to that I won't have someone super near me to count on if something "happens", but I mean, I'm a grown up and I will have to deal with things as they come. I guess I didn't realize until now how much she really likes to make sure I'm super well taken care of even while living on my own. I think you are right as well, that she might be mad for a while and then slowly come to terms with it. But you're right, it is super hard dealing with knowing she doesn't like what I'm doing. I get all bent out of shape and teary-eyed just thinking about it. Hah I am so sensitive.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · April 2011

My favorite movies are Magnolia, Sense and Sensibility... and I don't know. I like a lot of movies.

missy68 · April 2011

Halloween (original, but the Zombie remakes are growing on me - I've watched both multiple times), Wizard of Oz, and Scream.

Basically, almost any John Carpenter scary movie and most Wes Craven works.

Favourite movies? Kill Bill 1, Bridget Jones Diary, and.... Hm. Hercules. The Disney/musical version.

baystateapple · April 2011

OH man, how could I forget Kill Bill?

And Cfas -- YES. See it. She is fantastic in it.

ahhhitsshannyn · April 2011

Wow I left on my break and I had pages to plow through!!

Manda, I totally want to go to DC!!!

Mery,I just do not know about those alote men. Usually just some skeevy guy with a cart with those bags of "wheels" hanging off the side. I love the wheels, but cannot bring myself to eat the mayo corn, but I have heard it is amazing. I just don't see how that mayo can stay fresh standing outside all day.... ick..

Favortie movie?? Gosh that is hard! Right now I am really digging Serenity. I freakin' love that movie/ show and I feel like my life is missing something without it.

musicalsunlight · April 2011

Ohhh just got the response:

"I don’t disagree that it is your decision to make. I just don’t agree that you made a logical, wise decision. Since it is your decision—you can tell your Grandparents—I’m not going to be the one who tells them—though I’m sure I’ll hear about it anyway.

I will find out from the car insurance company what exactly the rules are for continuing to carry you after you move across the river. If it isn’t different—I will consider continuing to carry you.

I’ll get over it—life will go on…but doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it."

That was surprisingly much nicer than I was expecting. (the car insurance thing is because yes---I am still on their insurance--but the new house is across the river in WI) I actually am quite relieved.

I thought we were kinda set on names, but I'm questioning myself now. We were thinking Isla for a girl and Miles for a boy. I still loves Miles but I'm worried everyone will pronounce Isla wrong.

hlq2011 · April 2011

Cfas - I have a handful of comics, primarily the Rogue Squadron ones. Luke's slide is in Dark Empire, which I actually haven't read. I should go looking for some of them online.

Bay - LOL. He worked that role well, didn't he? And he totally shot first!

Posted by msmerymac[/QUOTE]

This is a problem I still deal with. Since my brother had moved 4 hours away and "abandoned" my mom and aunt, they just expected me to stick around and live two blocks away like they had growing up. Actually, my aunt never actually moved out of my grandparents home. So when I moved here, they saw it as much abandoning them as well.

I understand how you feel musical. I was never really a bad kid either and my mom and aunt are kind of pushy in that they've always told me what to do and I've done it. That's causing problems now that I"m an adult and I want to do things a certain way but I don't know how to not be a doormat.

mandapanda78 · April 2011

This is more of a confession, but... I'm really jealous of people who have relationships with their mothers. I see mine more as something I have to deal with than anything else. We were watching Pride & Prejudice last night (of course the Firth version, do you even need to ASK) and Mr. P commented that Mrs. Bennett reminds him of my mom. I said that's maybe why I'm not as amused by her.

Top 3 favorite movies: Amelie, Shaun of the Dead and Stranger than Fiction.

I feel the same way, but about my dad. I mean, I love him a lot, and he and I don't really fight, exactly. But we just never have been super close and I get jealous of people who are "Daddy's girls" and stuff. I mean, he is gonna walk me down the aisle because apparently that is important to him---but in general since I became a teenager and afterward, we haven't been super close. Which is funny, because we actually are way more alike than my mom and I are.
