And then, there was silence . . .

My N "friend" has a new method. He has call waiting. He tries to keep me on the phone until another one comes in. Then he says he has to go. In this way, he can avoid being alone, and also try to be in control.
How come they have so much time to dream up this stuff?
Portia:
Tokyojim that is so rude of your friend. Maybe you should get call waiting too and call yourself on a mobile/cell-phone?!

--- Quote ---On the rare occasions my mother has called solo, she tells DH it's Mrs. J____. Neither of my parents ever told DH what to call them. Well, it's only been 9 years, I best give it time. I informed them we were going to start calling them by their first names and my mom said, "I still want to be somebody's Mother".
--- End quote ---
Ooo! Married for 9 years and she wants your H to call her Mrs _. And she still wants to be somebody’s mother? Boy she still wants you as her girl doesn’t she? Totally ignoring the fact that HE is the focus your life now and not HER! Poor woman. But did you really say you were going to call them by their names, not just H? That might have been a bit of a blow…?

After Portia edited her post, my response didn't make sense any more - so I've removed it. :wink:

Portia,
Thanks for making me grin. Yes, my mother wants me as her little girl forever (when she doesn't want to BE me as others have said). She told me I "didn't have to marry" my DH and I didn't for a while--we lived together. OMG, she didn't like that. She once told him "She is just on loan to you".
I see her once a year which is plenty.
Thanks for your stories. Weird how they want it both ways (to be both mother and daughter) and how the men in our lives are such problems for them!
