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?

Usually, my mom is NOTpassive-aggressive in the least. (Thank ya Jeeeeebus!) In fact, she is famous in the family for doing important life altering shit and not informing anyone. For example, she packed up and left my dad on her birthday without telling anyone. We couldn't find her for a day or so.
However, she was once inadvertantly p-a... I came home from work to the following phone message: "Hi honey, just wanted you to know I'm home from the hospital, the doctors think they got it all, I have to take some drugs for a while to kill it all blather blather"
I about shit my pants. All I could think of is that she had cancer and hadn't told anyone and now was ungoing chemo or something else horrible. To top it off, none of my brothers knew where she was or anything about the op.
After I finally tracked her ass down, it turns out that she had her fucking HERNIA* repaired and the drugs were antibiotics!
Fuck me.
*that she had had since 1968 after her fifth caesarian section. Christ.
