The passive-aggressive guilt tripMy mother is an expert in the guilt-trip. Last week she phoned to say "Happy Birthday" and, after a 10 minute conversation, finished with, "Well, I hope you have a nicer time than I did on the day you were born."
She also stated that she was going to kill herself when she reached 65. On Christmas Day morning. Having rung up to see if there was anything she could bring for lunch.
I think it's just a mother thing, but how good are your relatives and friends at the passive-aggessive?

The mother in law.Well, my long term partners mum anyway.
She's the most passive agressive person I have ever met.
Not only that but she is a terrible mother and grand mother.
She'll have the kids and then spend the months leading up and months after going on about how they'll only misbehave when she has them anyway. And how lucky we are that she see's them once a year.
The real pisser is that my missus has now started down a similar path. I get it all. Months of emotional blackmail before and after any event that I'm planning to do without her. Constant reminders of how unhappy she is with every aspect of life and how it's all my fault. But never directly to me. It's driving me bloody insane! :-)
