OMG, I heard this all the time. And the " touch-me-don't " stuff, too.

Pretty funny I know. But I remember when I was guilty of doing the same crap.

When my oldest was just a toddler, I would tell him to stay in the living room

and play while I mopped the kitchen floor. Of course he would occasionally come

on in to see me anyway. I came unglued, yelling, " I told you to stay in there. "

I finally caught on to what a bi*** I was and stopped. But to this day, I want

to cry when I think about it. Our nadas really ruin us.

Thank you all for posting under this post, I was reminded of always hearing her

house this and her house that. I never really felt connected to " her house " .

Growing up, I felt like it was the place I lived in as she was my mother and

that was her house but other than that I felt like an alien in the house. When

she remarried, it was worse. Irony of the things you forget but stay with you

in your unconscious.

One last thing about nada's house: over the years my Dad worked very hard to

remodel, build, paint the home. Whatever she demanded, he did his best to make

it a reality for her. He built on an enclosed patio, knocked out part of a wall

to make a lovely opening between the family room and living room, built a shed

and other various things outside for her, even built a deck in front that she

never uses. Now that he's gone, she keeps telling me about how hard she worked

on that house. She claims she troweled the concrete for the pathways, hauled tar

paper onto the shed roof, etc. This is the same woman that complains about

constant " excruciating pain. " It bothers me that he did the work and she takes

the credit.
