I needed to get this off my chest and if I do it in any other form I will definitely upset someone or multiple someones. so here it goes: most of the time I really can not stand my boyfriend's mother. she says the most ridiculous things and it makes me go, "wtf?" but I never, ever say that to her. I will however reply to her with a snotty tone. I can't help myself, she drives me to drink. my love says that's the just the way she is and I'm taking it too personally; I think it's because she's old and just honestly doesn't think before opening her mouth. here's a solid example: today she said to me, "oh so you didn't have to go with him [to his motocross race]. well that's good." lady, I never HAVE to go with him, he's a big boy and can handle himself just fine, I go with him because a) I genuinely enjoy motocross and b) he races on the only day we have to spend the entire day together. I'm going to treat our one day together like every other day where we don't see each other for the vast majority of our day. call me crazy, but I actually enjoy spending time with him.
