Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hi- I started off on the wrong board, but was referred here. My mother who fits the " nada " decription quite well seems to have many counter parts on this board. The topic of competition is a sore spot for me. She prefers to think of me as her sister. I am not to call her 'Mother' or any variation of it. Actually, as a kid I started to call her that to make her mad. One of our classic competition moments was when my husband and I announced we were getting married. She suddenly, she was getting married. Of course, her engagement broke off shortly later. It was just long enough to distract from my planning. I thought she was done with the glory hogging, until she wore her wedding dress to my wedding! Unbelievable!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 My nada insisted that she have her own dance with the bride insteat of just my fother dancing with me. She also insisted that there be a dance just for she and my fother because it was there 30 year weading anaversery. (i got married in june her annaversery wasn't untill the following november) We were running out of time so I told the DJ to skip her anniversy dance b/c I wanted to open my gifts with everyone there. I started to call everyone over to the table so we could open gifts and the next thing I know there announcing her song and annaversy and she is dragging my fother onto the dance floor. We never had time after that to open gifts. She makes herself the center of attention with everyting. And she takes credit for everytining I do. > Hi- > I started off on the wrong board, but was referred here.
