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 PaA little while ago my Dad a couple of toes amputated for various reasons. He's meant to rest his foot as much as possible to make sure it heals up. This means avoiding things such as driving, mowing the lawn etc.
This means I have to mow the lawn and sometimes give him lifts (although he is allowed to do some driving now).
His latest thing is to ask me to mow the lawn and when I tell him I WILL do it when I have time, he goes and does it himself and then moans at me for making him do it and putting his foot at risk.
