Mad at my mom!

I should have just followed my instincts and ignored my mom's phone call. My perfectly good egg sat out too long and was totally wasted over this woman's call because I answered the phone. What a waste of a good egg!

First, she practically called me a child abuser because I picked out Buzz Lightyear border wallpaper to match my outer space nursery. She got very snotty with me and told me that was only for boys' rooms. Basically told her, I like it so

My cousin has been very ill and at death's door. There is a chance she could die. I could not believe my ears when my mother said, "J and R are obessed with sex. Do you think R (my cousin's dh) will have sex with their (teenaged) daughters?" I have no idea where that came from. I said, "I think R will get remarried. There are a lot of single women in his church. I don't like R, but I've never seen any indication that he or anyone in his family has ever done anything like that! What makes you say such a thing?!"

She said, "Well, they do live in Western Kansas." I told her my sister and I were molested by family members and we were not from Western Kansas! That cooled her wheels.

I don't like R. I think he's one of the most spoiled, selfish, annoying people I have ever met in my entire life, but that is a far cry from being an incestous child rapist. And I don't think my cousin's dying is a done deal. She is still alive even if she is very sick right now.

I don't think I've been this mad at her since she told me I should put Kate in soccer because it was a "white" sport and basketball (my favorite sport) is a "black" sport.

I"m mad at her, too. I wonder what she'll say about my dh. Probably the same kind of stuff. I don't even want her to visit if she's going to try to fill Kate's head with crap like basketball is a black sport, soccer is a white sport.

Here's a picture of Kate's room which she finds so abusive: http://www.babyuniversity.com/forums...threadid=44726

I love it. Who cares what she thinks! My dh and I are the ones raising this kid and we love this room. We spent the better part of two years working on stuff for this room. So to her if she doesn't like it.

I did not add the part where she asked me I had a baby book. I said no, we couldn't afford one, but we have two baby keepstake boxes. Then she says to me very snottily, "You do know what a baby book is, don't you? It's a scrapbook for your baby." I was so all I said was "I know what a baby book is. I just can't afford one right now."

It was my only dang egg too! I'm getting more today. I wanted egg salad and I'm having my egg salad no matter what!

At this point, I'm about ready to move to another country. I hear Austraila is nice this time of year. I don't think this country is big enough for the two of us.

I haven't spoken to or e-mailed her since Sunday. I am trying to "train" her to only call or e-mail on the weekends unless there is an emergancy. If she calls or e-mails me during the week, I just ignore her. She doesn't need to talk to me everyday. My dh says she's a vampire who feeds off my upsetness, anger and other emotions. I do feel like every time I talk to her, if I get angry or upset, she goes away happy.
