Stupid Guest Tricks

Damn!! She doesn't ever let up does she? I don't know what else to say. :(

Sorry, Bru, that acting out by your mom sounds like a HUGE control issue, not the first and certainly not the last. :(

Bru, I hate to say it but your mom needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist. That is over-the-top behavior.

I read my Bible but Disney movies are fantasy and nothing to get all upset about.

I do now. As other posters said, your mom wants to be in control of everyone around her. She scored a two-fer by denying you and your dad the simple pleasure of sharing some time together watching a movie. Your dad knuckled under to keep peace in the house and she ran you off again.

I haven't heard the "magic" argument in a while. I find it ironic that some religions use that to suppress others when their religion either believes you can walk on water or horses can fly.

Wait a few days, take your dad for a ride, and watch Wall-E at your house. Remember, don't engage with your mother.

Wall-E has 0 magic in it, just a few robots with some really damn good programing in them!

Sounds like your mom just knows what buttons to push to piss you off.

My in-laws pastor put it good to those who didn't think it was right to listen to secular music or watch movies like Harry Potter. All of these things are gifts from God, as long as you realize it is fantasy and not reality, you're okay.

You are all of course completely right. It is all about not only controlling him, but controlling me. And you're also right on the psych eval. The doctors at the university hospital gave me an earful as to the behavior they saw when she was there and I said to them, "This has been my life for thirty-seven years, tell me something I don't know! If you want to help get her admitted for an eval already!" But she went home and none of them did a thing after that.

Speaking of haircolor (as it was in the thread somewhere a minute ago) Weird fact: Since I streaked my hair blonde again last year, my family has treated me MUCH worse. Isn't that weird? I am convinced it's because I was naturally very blonde as a child- and so as soon as they see the blonde hair they revert to treating me the way they did then. My mother even mentioned more than once that I looked like 'her girl' again *gag* Not to mention my dad has a lifelong weakness for women with dark hair and eyes (my sister- my daughter both have hair/eye color like my mom) and I have at times dyed it dark and seen how they all step back. Are people really that shallow???! I've been blonde brunette and redhead but I'm thinking that the blonde may have to go again. Sheesh.

Hey Disneymom- I have to take issue with your script assessment of Wall-E. It is a fine literary work in and of itself- because of the two lines of dialogue that you forgot to include in your rendering of the script...

Those two lines being:

"Warning, rogue robots!"

and, my personal favorite as a germophobe...

"Foreign Contaminant! Foreign Contaminant!"

:D:

My kid repeats that one until have to say 'enough already!'

LOL

Seriously though, I agree with you that's a script I could skip. Now, as a wannabe writer all my life, I'd love to have the Monsters Inc. script but I think I know it by heart already LOL

You could always tell your mother that Wall-E is supposed to be a metaphor...

about one "person" saving mankind from themselves!

hehehehe

Have some RUM!

I once read an article about this lady who was a journalist who decided to see for herself how blondes were treated. She was a brunette, so she dyed her hair blonde and noted how people at work treated her. Her co-workers said she looked like a celebrity--I forgot which one--and generally treated her well. One time though, she made a cake from scratch and brought it to work to share with her co-workers. That's when it happened--when she said the cake was homemade, somebody said, "Did you make this all by yourself?" And yes, if I remember right, there were other blonde jokes she was subjected to. I think it's safe to say that she really appreciated the end of her assignment/experiment, and colored her hair to regain the original color. It was a real eyeopener.

I'm naturally a brunette, but I prefer coloring my hair medium auburn. I've always admired redheads. However, my family objects; about three weeks ago, my nephew who's an apprentice at a hair salon cut and colored my hair for much-needed practice--but he made it more like a deep auburn, more brown than red. GRRR! Okay, the good thing about it is that's a few less boxes of hair color I have to buy next year--he's going to do the color next month--but still, I get lots of compliments on my red hair, even if it's from a box. Fifty-two years old, I shouldn't have to be told what to do with my own hair.
