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?

My mother, unsurprisingly..Ranging from 'we don't see enough of you' to 'I'm not saying you should do this, but..' - end result, I talk to my family less. Am I happy with this? Oh yes - the less I see my parents, the less they can find an excuse to criticise when I'm not doing at all badly ThankYouVeryMuch.
Oh.. and it doesn't really count, but - people (especially new potential girl/boyfriends) who expect you to fit around their lifestyles but won't accommodate yours, at all. Anyone playing that game gets the boot pretty quick..
