[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there some sibling that you think your mother loves/prefers over you? [b]You sound excited that she is coming, you want to show her your house, you had heart to heart talks with her, [/b]all that paints her as a nice mom that you love. Not a monster that neglected you as a child. Her former student cares about her and she cares to go see her play, all musicians will recognize that passion and it can be something that people not into music can't understand. Mentors like that are usually awesome people.
Given all this, why are you unable to allow your mother to be not just your mom, but a person with other interests? If she was a monster, surely you would not be looking forward to her coming for a visit?[/quote]

Actually, all of that paints her as a daughter who is still trying to win her mom’s approval and attention.

Not infrequently, those people who are awesome mentors to people with indisputable needs do neglect the more mundane, maddeningly fuzzy responsibilities of parenthood.[/quote]
