[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't acknowledge any holidays to my mother for years, because so many of the times I did she critiqued the way I did it. "You spelled anniversary wrong - go rewrite it and give it back." "This isn't technically a birthday card because happy birthday isn't printed on it." "That's not the way I taught you to spell Hanukah." And on and on. There was always a problem with whatever card, whatever gift. So in my early 20's, I just ... stopped. Nothing was good enough, so why put in the effort or money? [b]It was like I was paying to get criticized. [/b] So I get it, OP. Maybe next year you can send her a birthday text in the AM? Baby steps! :) [/quote] I had to laugh at the bolded. Me too. People with normal moms will never understand. You spend time and money to do something nice and in the end it's another opportunity for her to criticize and tear you down. May as well not bother. The ones to say to call obviously don't know how that goes. [/quote]
