[QUOTE="Star*, post: 236109, member: 4964"] PERFECT sense....... It's been danged if you do, danged if you don't with us and Dude for years. I HATE IT. I abhore it with a ferverent passion, wtih all of my being. I hate that I have to choose. As a Mom it should just BE and that's the end of it. My child should just BE NORMAL. Somedays I find solace and comfort in the encouraging words of Dollar Store plaques that have catchy verses on them about "too blessed to be stressed" or spelling out the word M-O-T-H-E-R....with meaningful and loving words of wisdom. M is for maturity and I rely on you so much for that Mom. Other days I see M-O-T-H-E-R and I think nope - I should get some masking tape out of my purse and rewrite this - M- Mowed over like a green lawn on a hot summer day. O- Otherwise unless I call you don't bug me, hassle me or talk to me. T- Thanks for the cash again -sucka - fooled you good this time....haha H- HELLO? Where is my folded laundry? Did you put minutes on my phone? E- EVERYONE BOW TO THE CHILD R- Really, you should consider getting a life - GET OUT OF MY LIFE MOM. Then there's the bargaining I do in my head more passionately than a bi-partisan house. This is when I bust out into full blown SOCK PUPPET Mode (not to be confused with my loving nephew and his monkey puppet) - and the good sock puppet says "YOU are his MOTHER!! YOU SHOULD forgive him and take him that $7.00 for his lunch while you eat day old bread and questionable Hillshire farm thin sliced 2 week old lunch meat sandwhiches." and the other sock puppet interrupts and beats the toes out of the humble one and says "You know what? That kid has been a pain in your lunchbox since the day he was born. WHY IN THE BLUE DAWN would you ever get in your car, waste the gas, your time, and take him $7 for lunch...let him starve - it's not like he's going to pass out or anything and if he does? Hey - someone will call 911 and is that really YOUR problem? Noooooo let him hang like he lets you hang......detach......detach.....they're like cats these kids - once you feed them they never leave." And so the pre-war emerges in my psyche and then I am interrupted by a young wanna be top notch salesman calling my name and pounding on the frame of the door to my office "STAR STAR????? Can you get me 100 copies of this by noon? Collated??" And I just want to scream. So yeah - I think what you feel and experience is very normal. I'm more afraid of becoming completely detached and liking it now that I have ever been in my life. I keep asking myself - AND WHAT WOULD I LOOSE by not having this person around to bully me?

And that is a glimpse - into my last 4 minutes - just thinking about your post. :knockedout: YEAH - no wonder I'm nuts. And you? :whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
