MY MOTHER CYBIL
Currently, both of my parents are 71 years old. Actually, my Dad will be 72 years old tomorrow. In my Mom's case, it seems as though her age, is playing a major role in her behavior. As both my Brother and I were growing up, she was always one to speak her mind. However, the older that she get's, the more abundent her opinions become. It's not so much the frequency of her opinions that bother me, it's how she states them. I starting to feel that, with age, you lose your ability to use tact. Either that, or she just doesn't care anymore.
Maybe because I'm her daughter, she feels as though, she can express her opinions to me, any way that she feels like it. It's almost like knowing someone who is either, going through the change of life, someone who is bipolar, or someone who has mulitple personalitys. I understand that, my Mother's past medical problems, probably contribute to her mood swings. She had breast cancer several years ago, and can nolonger take harmone. From what I understand, this makes you terribly moody. However, this is no excuse to treat the ones you love, with little or no respect.
My main problem with her is, she will call over here, having briefly flown off of the handle. I get pelted with, her unsolicited opinions, and acusations. Sunday, I believe it was, she called here accusing me of, inviting several people to our Birthday dinner. With the expectations that, she and Dad would pay for it all. I never once hoped, suggested, or implyed that. I had to convince her of this. Honestly, it's like having a spoiled child in the family. I expressed to my dad that, he needs to talk to her about doing this all of the time. I hope that he will.
To demonstrate what I'm talking about. Yesterday afternoon, she came over with an outfit that she had purchased for me. I'm guessing that, this was her way of making up to me. Either that or, she didn't even realize that, she had done anything wrong in the first place. So, if you knock on my font door and are selling crazy, we're not buying. We have plenty here already. Later on ya'll freaks.

Hi,
My grandma does that too... she used to never say certain things. Now she'll tell you straight up whatever she thinks.
