[quote=Anonymous]My  mom has always been prone to over reaction and drama and while the instances are less than they used to be, the things she over reacts to just seem so odd.  If she was experiencing any memory loss, I would be wondering if she was in the early stages of dementia. 
Anyways, she is currently furious with me because I did not tell her DS is spending the weekend at my in-laws.  I had casually mentioned that we were going away for a work function for DH this weekend but didn't really go into much details.  I.e. I didn't even tell her where it was or anything about it.  Just had mentioned that I needed to dig up some old dresses and hoped they still fit.

So she texts me last night to ask if DS was coming with us this weekend, if we were bringing a baby sitter, etc.  I replied that he was going to in-laws on Saturday for the night.  Her response (I am copying this from the text) "Why was that a secret?  Geez, no mention. Odd"
  I said "sorry mom.  Didn't think it really came up in conversation.  But yes, he'll be going there Saturday night" 
 Her response "really? The dress?  Going away?  No mention of DS?  Makes us out of the loop and feel stupid".  
I respond apologizing again and say of course it wasn't my intention to make her feel stupid
Her response "it is hurtful that I look like a doofus with [MIL] when you don't talk to me.  Guess things are what they are.  Your choice"
I apologize again and she doesn't respond back

I know this may seem like a minor thing, but its these little situations that seem to set her off.  Its just the oddest thing.  I guess this was mostly a vent but it still feels like something is just off with her behavior.  [/quote]
