My mom regularly complains about anything and everything. A lot of times, it's about something I'm trying to do or I've gotten for her because I think she'll appreciate it. Just got her a nice LED floor lamp so she can see better to read in her recliner. What was she doing when I got home? Bitching that the kitten was trying to chew the cord and constructing some hideous monstrosity to keep him away from it. (1/2)
As I'm putting groceries away, I can hear her complaining about the lamp and how she can't even sit and relax. I lost it. Snapped at her and told her all she does is complain about anything I do. I don't know why I expect anything different. 🤷♀️
@sarcasmsign Sometimes snapping at someone is the only way. I think sometimes people don't even realize how negative they are until you lose your shit at them.
@nonayadambidnes totally! She's a grumpy miserable person and I try to do nice things and get crapped all over. The table lamp next to her chair isn't very bright and she always said she couldn't see to read. I tried to fix the problem and now it's a huge thing?? 🤷♀️ I need to scream into the void sometimes. 😂
@sarcasmsign @nonayadambidnes Janine, I am a mother with a boat load of health issues, and like your mother, am fortunate to have a daughter who does things to improve my really annoying shut in status (temp, I hope). But she’s a fabulous human being, and so are you. ✨
If you’ve still got the receipt, return that effing lamp! Better yet donate it to an elder care facility. 😎
