[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sensitive, but I have very hurtful memories of my mom always having a "god, you again?" attitude with me and feeling like she was always annoyed with me. She would also say things like "mommy's ears are tired" when I would talk to her and that she couldn't wait until we were out of the house (brother and myself) so that she could get a 2 seat convertible, one seat for her and one seat for her hand bag.

I get what you're feeling and you're certainly entitled to set boundaries with some of the PP's suggestions, but my 2 cents are to be mindful of how you go about communicating your need to be alone. It might be nice to emphasize something like "later on when I'm rested I'm going to really enjoy doing x,y,z with you." [/quote]

I am a mom and my kids are now teens.  Even now, sometimes they just barge in my bathroom!  I do get annoyed, but try to keep my humor about it.  You kind of sound like my sister, I would be completely drained of her non stop talking when we were growing up. Mom didn't care at all, so here I was listening and listening and listening, all the same topic for hours, and days, and weeks.  She can't ever let anything go. From that point of view I can understand your mom, especially is she is an introvert and you are not. But, still, saying she can't wait till you are out of the house is needlessly hurtful and selfish behavior on her part. So, I can see both views. Now that my kids are older teens, I miss all of their chatter(bar the bathroom intrusion!). I hope you and your mom are getting along now, and have put all this behind you?  As for OP, I would guess that she is just drained from the baby and seeing how SAHM is new to her, it will take some time to get used to it.  There could be some PPD going on as well, as OP sounds really angry about a very normal thing.  She should make sure she takes time for herself, but this language directed at a nine year old is a bit much.[/quote]
