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?

I never wanted a second childMy mum: I could have left your father and had a career if I'd only had the one child (my older brother, blond and blue-eyed). You were a "family-planning baby" (i.e. a mistake). When you were born you looked like a little monkey, all dark and covered with hair (the body hair fell out, fortunately). I found an old letter from her the other day, referring to me as "painfully shy". I wonder why that was.
