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?

Bless my Jewish Grandmother......I believe that all jewish grandmothers go through the advanced post doctorate in guilt studies in order to really fuck you up.
E.G. This was said to me: "You could be such a good jewish lad. Why don't you read your scriptures? Your relatives died in Auschwitz for you." Yes gran, all very nice apart from:
1) I am not jewish. My mum is not jewish. My dad was not even jewish. You didn't care fuck all about being jewish when you were younger. My Grandad was a Vicar.
2) You were born in Clapham. You've never even been to Poland.
3) You are only kosher when it suits you (i.e. she does not like the food she gets at the daycentre)
Great, aint she? She also does the standard "no, it's OK. I will sit here in my sheltered flat with my many relatives visiting me on a weekly basis and my youngest daughter only 2 miles down the road. Don't worry about me. I am sure nobody will notice if I die."
