[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 530158, member: 14557"] I at times hope my mother would still be here just to annoy mother in law. mother in law is very image conscious and while we live in the place that is probably one of the most egalitarian in the world, there are families with 'old money' (not that they usually have much more money than anyone else) and 'the name' and 'the culture.' mother in law's childhood family doesn't have those things, husband's father's family has to the small degree. My mother was a difficult child and never grew up from her flower child phase. But she had some of those 'names' in her backpocket- and after her sixth husband some more to choose from ;) She was loving but didn't take any responsibility about anything, ever and our highs tended to be high and lows were low (goes with the most of my family tree.) I resented that and was exactly the opposite from early teenage years. I was so proper that it is a miracle I didn't blow up (except those few times when I wasn't proper at all and instead channelled my inner difficult child with force, as I told earlier in the thread.) Time when the sons were small was probably my worst. I took myself so seriously that I was probably impossible to live with. And my mother loved to needle me on it. My rules to not give any candy to boys when they were under 5 year-olds. My garden there no dandelion dared to grow (according to her, dandelions indeed did dare despite my adamant war against them) and not one carrot would ever venture to grow awry. She also liked to point good places to grow pot in our garden, especially in front of mother in law. She laughed at me and made me feel bad many times, but I always knew she also loved me more than anything. And while that is not always enough, when she deceased around ten years ago, it was my time to grow up. No one left to rebel against any more. I have loosened up a lot and have to say I do like myself a lot more now. I still miss her so much. To be there to annoy mother in law, tease me and still always be in my corner. [/QUOTE]
