[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, how did things turn out?[/quote]

Turned out well, mom just left to go home. I immediately pulled her aside when she returned from golf and asked her why she had circled around me and if she had an issue with my behavior why did she not confront me directly. She immediately started back peddling at 90MPH and minimized her role. I've had this conversation in the past with her about all the sibling conversations behind each other's backs and reminded her once again that the back channel talking is not appreciated and not healthy.  She again apologized as she was leaving just now. She knows very well that my sister and I talk and she uses this as a way to indirectly communicate with the person who is offending her. For instance, if she is pissed at my sister, she calls me, knowing I'll call my sister...Its like using smoke signals to communicate with someone, very frustrating!  All of us kids have told her loud and clear to cut it out, my sister even told her that yesterday when she started in.

To other posters who might think I'm passive-agressive, that could not be farther from the truth.  I prefer to always know where I stand with people and I don't like to be kept guessing, nor will I do that to other people. Making pizza dough that takes 2hrs to rise at 3:30, is not a passive aggressive behavior, it is a necessary step if you want to eat dinner early when you have small kids! My kitchen is fully open to the family room, so yes, my mom was in there with me when I was making it and was even asking me questions about how I do my dough.

In the end, we all had a nice and pleasant meal. I definitely had this looming in my mind, but I sucked it up and carried on as if nothing was wrong.

To the PP, yes I am American, not Italian, and I do make my own dough.  It is very easy to make....All I use is 1 packet yeast, about 2 cups water, and 2 cups WW flour, and 2 cups Bread Flour.  It makes the best thin crust and freezes up beautifully.[/quote]
