My petty mother!

At times I develop some resentment towards my mom because I think she’s overly proud and become easily offended and petty.

Last week I went to visit her with my LO (3) and LO told her “I love you grandma, you should come visit us”

Last time my parents came to visit before they vacationed, end of August. Weekend rolls by, no word, as they normally drop by then.

I went to visit her today and she tells me she’s a little pissed off at me because I haven’t “invited” her to come over. And I told her “and I’m pissed off at you that you don’t show an interest to come over, especially after LO told you so”

I mean how much clearer can it get when your grandchild tells you to come visit and you don’t bother to do so. It shouldn’t be my job to beg her to see us, it should be on her own free will. Not even phone calls. It gets me so worked up that I always am the asshole for her shitty expectations. She says she doesn’t ask because I’ve been telling her we are sick. We were sick, hubby and LO mostly on and off and my mom makes it about her 🤦‍♀️

We had a nice time today regardless, but when I think back it makes me angry as if I’m talking to a child and not an adult-menopausal woman. I’m pretty close writing her my 2 cents right now.
