Elly's journal~Because having strangers comment on my life makes me feel important
I don't write here very often, as most of my journaling goes into a book. Yes, a blank book, with pages. And I even have a pen I write with. Wow! Elly's so low-tech.
I now know why so many men fear their Mother in Laws.
My mom hates my husband.

I know this may seem odd, or that I may be exaggerating, but I believe it.

Today, my mom called me up and asked me if I had my husband's permission to see her.

I explained that I didn't need his permission to do anything.

Later in the conversation, I was asked if I was allowed to own a car.

I told her that once we had the money and the time to purchase me a car, we would do so.

Finally, because she heard the sound of me putting things away, she asked me if I had to do the housework.

I told her that I was doing the housework because it needed to be done.

She gave me a lecture about how I shouldn't always think I needed to be the housewife because my husband told me to. She ranted about me not going to college (I will be in the summer...) or about me not having a job.

I know these are valid concerns, but she voices them every time she calls me.

Finally, after getting quite snappy with her, telling her for the 20th time that yes, I am happy with my life, and no my husband is not abusing me, my mom does this:

"Well, I can see that I'm not appreciated, so I'm not going to call you anymore. If you want to talk, you can call me yourself. I don't like the way you treat me and..."

I hung up on her.

    ... I should really read your journal more often and with all the entries I'm picking this one cuz... I dunno cuz I had to hang up on my mom just yesterday...

    So, first about other posts: Those gaia wings on your back are super cute 3nodding , and that kitten thing... um ick, seriously even my super feral cat hasn't pulled that kinda s**t on me.

    You're mom though... I'm sad she feels that way about your hubby, honestly and in once sense it's good that she's trying to look out for you and everything and really that is all she's trying to do, but it's also really unfortunate that she sees your marriage in such a negative light. One can only hope time will resolve this little problem sweatdrop

    I wish I could hang up on my mom everytime she started bitching at me over nothing, but I still live with her so that's not an option.
