mother (un)dearest

For those who don’t know, my mom is kind of a bitch. She is also disabled thanks to an accident at work years ago. Honestly most of it is in her head.

She is a drama queen and the world has to revolve around her. Had a bad day at work? Too bad. Her arm was killing her all day so she couldn’t do anything.

Not that she does anything anyway. She is home and unemployed. She does pretty much zero housework. She doesn’t do grocery shopping most of the time or if she does she makes my brother or I go to push the cart and carry everything in. She rarely cooks dinner except for ‘family events’ while I am working. I cooked most of Thanksghiving dinner AFTER getting off of an 8 hour shift at work.

She calls me fat on a regular basis. Hell she got me a shake weight for Christmas. I will be the first to say I am not skinny. I am 160lbs and 5′ tall but I am not that bad and I am fairly decent-looking. Yet she always makes comments about how I need to lose weight. And she ain’t exactly Twiggy either.

Now we have the puppies. She does nothing but lay around the house all damned day so you would think getting up early, feeding and letting the girls out wouldn’t be a big deal. She could go back to bed afterwards or nap later in the day. Nope. She wants me to get up even earlier before I go to work to take care of them, work aaaaaall day (until 6 or 7 at night, some 12 hours later) then come home and clean and cook and be sociable. I am about ready to kick her lazy teeth down her effing throat.

And people wonder why we don’t get along. Or why I say that chances are when I move out it will pretty much be the end of the road. She isn’t coming to visit, she will be lucky to have my fowarding address. She will be lucky if I even speak to her or invite her to my wedding if/when I ever do get married. Sorry I want that day to be about me and if my mother is there it won’t be.

On that particularly pissed off note I am going to bed because now I have to be up before the sun to take care of puppies before going to work. Lucky me.
