How about Mother's Day? Do you celebrate that where you live? We have it in May here in the US and before I became a mother, it made me physically ill. "My mother is my best friend."

How about - "you absolutely ruined my childhood and tried your very, very hardest to destroy my adulthood too" - let's see Hallmark make a card out of THAT.
She is behaving now because she has a grandchild. But they are both slipping a bit. They insult my husband, say that the music he does isn't "real music" because it's not all by dead 19th century guys - everyone knows that no worthwhile music has been written in the last, oh, 120 years, right?
They are coming to visit us for Thanksgiving and hubby has made it clear that he won't tolerate anything, so that should be fun. Expect to find me hiding in the basement and frantically spamming on here to get away from the crazy.
