Hahahahahahahahahahaha....missy|1457800843|4003949 said:Ha, yes, well I get that Scandinavian. For me as you already know it is my mother but now that you mention it if my dh says a trigger phrase it gets me crazy. So in general he doesn't push my buttons but dare he say those 4 little words that make me so angry I will go crazy on his you know what.![]()
Just in case you are interested in that trigger phrase it's "You are behaving irrationally" and nothing makes me behave more irrationally than when he says those 4 words. Suffice it to say he rarely uses that phrase anymore because he knows that unleashes the crazy in me.![]()
My left winger brother who support liberal and socialist ideas . We GTG for lunch then he talk politics. Liberals are never wrong...missy|1457800108|4003938 said:at times?
That is, is there someone in your life who just pushes your proverbial buttons?
Someone with whom your reaction might at times be unreasonable or different than your reaction would be with others just because of who they are or your history with them?

Wow. I am so impressed that you came to realize this, Dancing Fire. I had been about to say that you were the one person with whom I might behave unreasonably, but now that you have come to acknowledge that liberals are always right, there is no one left on my list! Thank you!!!
Your friend,
Deb

missy|1461416692|4022733 said:Ugh hate to bump this thread up but I am so upset right now with my mother. Why does she act like this? She is so unreasonable and just like that can change my decent or even happy mood to a bad one. Not sure what to do as tonight is the second night of Passover and the only evening of the holiday we are supposed to spend with them. I just don't want to go tonight and am tired of telling myself my parents are older and I don't know how much time I have left with them. My mom is ridiculously difficult at times and of course I am always the bad guy. No matter what. Grrrrrr.![]()
So no I am not being unreasonable with her it is she who is being quite unreasonable with me! And the question is do I once again suck it up and be miserable or just not attend tonight and take the consequences whatever they may be. I know my whole family will be very upset with me if I don't attend but this is not good for my health either way. Attend or don't attend I will suffer emotional and perhaps physical consequences.![]()
Sorry for venting here but somehow writing it down and actually sharing it helps. Still unsure as to what to do tonight but I am really tired of the same old same old. Why can't we just have a peaceful loving mother daughter relationship like so many other people? I know she loves me and I love her but as she gets older she becomes more and more unreasonable and difficult. And I love when she throws things up to me about what happened over 3 decades ago LOL. OK you were a great mother who did so much for us I know that but that was over 30 years ago. Sigh.![]()
