[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never agree to a standing appointment.  And I say this as an orphan.  Besides, 10 am sunday is prime family time.  She is no longer your nuclear family.  She is extended family.  If she is going to be annoying, she can get a call once a month.[/quote]

Did you seriously just call someone's mother her extended family?

It absolutely fucking floors me how despicable some of the women are. I cannot fathom treating my mother this way, or anyone else's mother for that matter. You do realize someday your kids will be adults and you will be in your mothers place right? The whole thing is just so incredibly pathetic and sad. I don't know how anyone who treats their parents this way can  be any sort of compassionate parent or member of society for that matter.[/quote]

I think what floors me is that you are incapable of understanding not all moms are Carol Brady or June Cleaver and that some really are truly not decent people.

You have plenty of friends who have learned to keep their parents at arm's length and erect boundaries but they aren't going to tell you given how much insight you lack into human nature and relationships.[/quote]

I didn't say all mothers were perfect. We are talking about this situation where a mother wants to connect with her daughter. All these people saying things like "your mother isn't family now that you have your own family?" Just despicable. You're going to get what's coming to you, ladies.[/quote]

You need a therapist, because you are so threatened by people who have healthy boundaries. [/quote]
