My mother is overbearing and a little "much" but today to the cake. She sent me a message on fb (private email message) and copied my dad on it. It included the following.... "hey, if dad and I get this for you for Christmas, would u use it on nits you go out alone and at night?" what is it, you ask? It's a contraption called the rapex- it's a thing you put inside like a tampon but has teeth on it, so if a guy goes to rape you, they get cut.

What the heck? Yes, I'm getting more angry that she even sent it as a joke. I know she is half kidding, but she worries waaaaayyy too much. I can't take it anymore. Seriously! And she copied my dad on the email? I didn't even know how to respond other than "you are strange, mom"

Again, I'm supposed to visit her and my dad tomorrow... I don't want to go. What else is new. This is just her newest wacko thing to say.

She also emailed me a job at a local school closer to her and my dad. I told her a million times I don't want to work there. I like my job and to be honest, I like the space between myself and my mom!

I think your response was all that was needed to have been said - strange indeed. What made me grin was the fact you had to wait until Xmas to get this - so is it ok to put you at risk for the few months running up to it?!

Any chance you can un-friend your parents on Fb or would it make her worry more? I dont think I could ever have my family on fb!

hugs x

Wow, that is mighty strange indeed. And like riotgrrrl said, what about the time until Christmas? LOL

I could NEVER have my parents as "friends" on facebook! Of course if the ASK you to "friend them" you don't have much choice! LOL

Just tell your Mom there is NO WAY you are changing jobs, that you like where you are, and to PLEASE stop sending the job ads to you because you're NOT going to look into them. Simple as that. Then maybe she'll leave you alone for awhile.

I know you don't want to visit tomorrow -- you're probably embarassed about the message, right? Don't worry about it -- they're your parents, and while they might giggle or laugh when you get there, just laugh it off, and get it over with. It will be ok. God bless and have a good time. Hugs, Lee

For the record the title of this post was supposed to be "another" not altogether lol.

Yea my mom is a wack job. I do love her tho. I did tell her in person that I don't want to work there. I think for my mental health, I can't live closer than 30 min from her. It's a good thing to realize now tho. Ugh. I'm still in bed and it's almost noon. Another tough day.

I don't think I could NOT be friends with them on FB- we are very close but at the same time maybe I need to draw that line a little more so they know where I stand. And I had to laugh about waiting until Xmas- so true, right?!!! Lol
