Hi Binks!  Nice to find someone I know!  How old is your mother now?  I am 47 and you are 49 - sucks that we have deal with this crap at our ages.

Hi Weary

My mother is 83 and will be 84 in December.

Actually I'm not 49 for two weeks but accidentally and depressingly put the wrong age!

I have been non contact with mum since May and although I felt guilty, that is diminishing with time.

[WearyofHer]

Mine is a healthy 75.  Physically healthy, that is....  While she used to brag about her health, strength and all the exercising she does, she is now pulling the age card on me.  It is exhausting.

Binks,
Mine is 85 and still mean as a snake. I rarely see her and she is the ignoring type unless she wants something so no need for NC. She and my N aunt are coming to visit for Labor Day weekend. It was either me or my sis who desperately needs a day off without stress.

They have already informed me that none of the food I provided last time was good enough....My mother drinks, gets an upset stomach and then blames it on the last food or medication she took. Both are very ADHD so no watching a movie. They want me to drive them around, something I hate, especially with our overactive police force that will be setting up multiple sobriety checkpoints.

They will walk in the door and switch my TV to some political channel, preferably with a screaming commentator. If I ask them to change it to something civilized I will hear that they are guests and get to do what they want.

Hopefully they will come on Saturday and leave on Sunday.... Can't wait to see them back out the driveway.

OOOOhhhhhh, Sealynx!!!!!

I would probably have a BOATLOAD of FUN just yanking their chains!!!!!  Telling them:  "My house, my rules!" and yanking the TV plug outta the wall!!!!     If the police stopped me at a sobriety checkpoint, with 'em in the car, I'd tell the police officer:  "Take 'em!  They're ALL YOURS!!!!"     Doing that, plus a few other pranks on them, hopefully, that might make the NQueens think TWICE about visiting me AGAIN!!!!!      Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee!!!!!!

Hi Bones,
I tried some of that last time. When my aunt asked what channel her favorite screamer was on ( after our little argument) I told her I had no idea. That  was true. I have 500 channels. So my next comment was-Here is the remote-GO FISH. Unfortunately, I can't change to our other local carrier before Saturday. Not only do they feature 600 channels, but they rely on a dish. If I sneak outside and throw a towel over the disk, I can pretend the cable went out.

The food my mother took offense too last time, was a Thanksgiving dinner that I paid the best caterer in town $200 to bring to my door (so I could put all my attention into a cocktail and not have to cook while they heaped insults). They did not complain as they heaped food on plates to take home! I even gave them an extra plate for my N uncle who was visiting them for Christmas. How nice can one be???

I wish I could pawn them off on the police. The cops here will invade you privacy in a heartbeat which has filled the jails to capacity. I doubt they'd take on two elderly women. They have no idea how dangerous they are. They are going to insist that I drive them around in her car because she doesn't like mine. The likely scenario is that she shows up with an expired brake tag and I get the pleasure of dealing with a ticket for driving an uninspected car!!!

Can't wait for the fun to start. I was thinking of building my house bunnies a larger box to hide in. They hate them and the comments about what a nice stew my little friends would make are truly heart warming.

UGH!!!!!  

I wish I could ship them to the nearest flea-bag motel!!!!     Or even try what was done with D on the other board and ask:  "WHY are you HERE?!?!?" along with not buying any of their cr*p!

I would be tempted to use the "parental controls" function of my satellite system to make sure the programs I found offensive did not show up as they flipped through the channels. I guess it's according to how important this point is to you, and what will they do if they can't watch TV? But I find it kind of funny to think "parental controls" could literally mean "control of your parents."

Or the nearest roach motel;
roaches check in but they don't........well, you know.
