People really don't want to be called out on their bullshit, but they sure as hell want to keep doing the things they get called out for. Anyway, on Friday night I was having dinner with my mom and my grandparents (her parents). My mom was talking about all the things that need to be done around the house (lawn needs to be mowed, gutters cleaned, weeds cut down, toilet needs to be replaced, etc.). My grandparents told her that she needs to stop procrastinating and hire someone to help her do that stuff. She got mad because they called her a "procrastinator" when in reality SHE IS. She never does anything until the last minute. We lost power in the middle of summer this year because she didn't pay the power bill on time! It wasn't just like a day or two late, it was like 3 weeks late...And she wants to be in charge of all the bills. Well, she got mad at me because I didn't defend her, but my grandparents were right! Today, we were planning to go to Target as our weekly mother-daughter bonding trip. She told me she was going to get in the shower at 3 pm...at 3:30 she still wasn't in the shower. This wouldn't normally make me mad but I just started a new job and I can't eat dinner super late anymore like we used to because I have to get up early. Plus, I have meal prep to do for the rest of the week. (I am an adult with a real job, still living with my parents but I'm trying to move out really soon.) I swear it's like she literally does anything to avoid getting ready, especially if I need to go somewhere. (We were always late for doctors appointments when I was a kid). She never ever cleans but today I found her cleaning the floor to avoid showering...I said "why didn't you just tell me to clean the floor?" She said "because I didn't think you'd want to" and then starts going off about how I spilled cranberry juice WHICH I CLEANED UP. Maybe I missed one little spec but Jesus I'm human! And the floor can wait. I need to get to target and get home so I can have dinner (I make my own meals), meal prep, and go to bed. This 9-5 job thing is still new to me and it would really help if she could just either not be a procrastinator or admit that she is. 😡 And someone might say "why not go to Target without her?" Because trust me, she'd get mad at me for that too. It would be like "you don't want to spend time with me!" I literally cannot win.
