Dear Mother
you absolutely drive me crazy.
I call you on the phone to be friendly and you scold me because
MY son (who is 31 years old) hasn't written back to your request for a housesitter?
and when I explained to you that I had already explained to you in an email
why he has not answered you (which HONESTLY I HAVE NO IDEA - he doesn't live with me OR tell me why he doesn't answer emails!!!)

you told me I DID NOT.... Now just because YOU haven't checked YOUR email does not give you the right of accusing ME of not responding.

then you write me another email calling me rude and Beyitchy for being abrupt in trying to escape the tonguelashing....

Unfortunately, half the time, this is how our conversations go. I cannot get along with my own mother. SIGH....
