Sorry to hear your reality sucks. Get over it, find joy in the small things. Would you like me to email grandma to lighten up? I’d be happy to do that for you. Been a bit tough, still in California, flying home tomorrow after the services. Remind my mom you are on vacation too and it isn’t all about HER! The travelers checks should be able to be cashed at any bank. Check and see if there is a toll free number to call on the travelers checks and if so, call and find out where the nearest place to exchange is. Take it easy, relax and be thankful that she isn’t raising you.
Love to you.
Mommy
Oh My GOD!! This is what my Dad said to me when I stayed with my mother’s parents! Almost word for word only without the traveler’s cheques. Glad to see I’m not the only one.

with role modeling like that, the daughter’s gonna end up saying the same damn thing to her kids … how distasteful — and how distasteful to post on this site.

ak, please explain distasteful in context with this to me???

this is an excellent specimin illustrating the relationship between mother, daughter, and grandmother. ak has issues that have nothing to do with this post.

My mom loves to drop hints about how much better at parenting she was than her parents were before her (and my grandmother does the same). Luckily, this seems to indicate that the moms in my family get better with each generation – so my kids could actually turn out normal!
