What do you do to entertain your sister when you haven't seen her in 3 years and the amount in common is slim to nil?
She wants to go work out at the Y, I would rather sit on the couch with a big fat bowl and watch tv. She wants to go to the movies, I fear crowds of people that gather at the theater on weekends. Luckily, we have eating out and shopping in common. I am funduciarily challenged at the moment, but we can make it work.
What do you do when your mom has gone bat-shit crazy over your father leaving her (years ago!)?
It is now obvious to me that my mom is textbook borderline personality disorder. I'm pulling for my dad's genetics. You know those self-help books that tell you how to deal with your kids and divorce? Well she must have read these and decided that it would be best to do the exact opposite. I tried to reason with her, "mom, remember that oprah episode where they talked about the negative effects that divorce has on kids?" when i get desperate, i communicate in a way she'll understand- through the almighty Oprah. It isn't working. I am officially giving up.
