How N's put a "crazy spin" on any subject they tal

<< < (2/3) > >>

Discounted Girl:
Yep, they have to be forgiven by someone higher up the ladder than me, that's for sure. That's not my job. And trying to forget, that is the hard part. Just when you think you can get interested in something -- BAM !! There she is again, hollering in your mind, shaking her finger, looking at you in that disapproving manner, criticizing, condemning. Little girl in the corner shaking with a dry mouth, trying to figure out what the heck she had done wrong. Big hypocrite !! Always trying to get over on someone, to outdo them, to show them up, but she was the only one who ever thought she was a big shot. Pretending to help people when she only did it to be the star and force people to kneel before her (in her mind). That's why I call her the NQueen (the only time you will see me capitalize any reference to her).

Anonymous:
How about this one? My mother (who isn't a full-blown N because I do get some sort of empathy from her, but she's up there) thinks that she is perfectly entitled to criticise. She defends this by saying that when people get upset at her criticisms it's only because "they can't accept criticisms!"

Hi Anastasia,
Oh yes, the jealousy is nasty with my Nlaws.
And if they think they can do something better than you they rub it in your face with such a lack of subtlety and discretion, it is quite amazing.
Very "nanananana...look what I can do and you can't" like little kids.
One time my sister -in -law who was I guess jealous cuz my dyed hair looked better than her grey hair said, "Hi Roots"
to which I replied, "Hmmm Are you jealous?" She was so surprised  that she put her head down, muttered "Yes" and walked away.
One time my mother in law was going on about how I couldn't cook and she could. I decided afterwards that the next time she said that I'd slowly swagger over to her with my hands on my hips (provocatively) and say,
"Your son didn't marry me for my stew, you know." I never got to say it though..she  passed away. I really would have enjoyed saying that though.....
Hang in there Anaastasia!!!

CC:
Ha! Tortilla, I would have thought from your screen name that you really could cook...even if just metaphorically!

WarriorGirl:
I just have to say how heartened I am to hear the stories of all you wonderful, resilient, strong survivors. Are you SURE you weren't dealing with my ex-boyfriend?
