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?

As a parent...As a parent I have this message for children everywhere. If there is something wrong in your parents' lives, if they are unhappy, if they have problems it is almost certainly NOT your fault.
They're the "grown-ups". They should sort out their own problems like adults rather than blaming their offspring FFS.
Here endeth the dull but worthy lesson.
Apologies for lack of gag or dig at Stusut79. I will now sulk in my room in silent, furious protest at ... something or other. I may even work myself into a fury and write a haiku about how much more sensitive I am than anyone else. Hah!
