i posted another thread all about boyfriend's mom. that should give you a better idea of how bad the situation is with her. trust me its a lot worse than just the 1 example i gave, boyfriend has told me she has been this way her whole life, when she was in her 50s she would make boyfriend (who lived 10 mins away at the time) go get her fast food from wendys or mcdonalds, instead of getting it herself. and then he would get it, because he didnt want to hear all the crap she gave him like making him feel guilty for not doing it. I'm just saying its not a matter of how old she is, its a matter of her not wanting to do anything for herself. I just hate how she treats her son... expects him to do this and that for her, without asking politely... itll be "i need you to pick up this or that from walmart", instead of "hey will you please pick this up from walmart next time you go? thanks" no respect for him whatsoever and it ticks me off.
