[quote=Anonymous]There's a difference between direct and rude. My mother has become quite rude at times to family--about appearances, eating habits, choice of dress. She's better with friends. For me, it depends on the time of the month. The week before my period, the rage builds up and I have no patience with those closest to me. "Fine, whatever," is the best I can do. I try to be aware of it and head it off at the pass, but it's very hard. it's almost a physical need to be snarky/passive aggressive/angry, especially with small children. Stupid example: my girls like to set up a pretend restaurant for their dolls. I have said, "not with real food--here's play dough" or fake plastic veggies but they sometimes still dip into the fruit bowl and take something (whic sometimes I find, moldy, in a bedroom corner). Depending on the time of the month I either say, "I told you, "NO PLAYING WITH REAL FOOD!" or I totally lose it. Definitely worse since I turned 50.[/quote]
