Sorry if this isn’t my place!! I was just going to pass along that I think I identify with you and how annoying your mom can be. My mom can be the same way. She’s trying to relive (though they never existed) her young, sexy years and she scolds you like a child because that’s all she can do, but really she is just jealous, I guess. She just wants attention and hides that by being ‘motherly’. Ugh, it even annoys me that your mom tries to steal your thunder. It is a little pathetic too. Boo. And then she gets all wounded when you get annoyed like she is only trying to help, but really she is just being a bit selfish. That is my opinion, but maybe I’m just projecting cause my own mom is like that a bit. I don’t think it’s really fair how parents can be assy sometimes. They can though. I try not to get mad at my mom because this behaviour is harmless if not annoying and she is really really great for other reasons. Like really great! So I don’t fight with her like I did when I was younger. Also, it is easier because I am far away from her now and we are no longer in “competition” like she is an insecure girl friend. It is so ridiculous anyway that I/we should have to “compete” with our moms… Anyway, I related in my own way and wanted to tell you. Also, I really like your blog too! It is really entertaining!!
