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?

Why I don't go out for meals with my parents. Ever.Picture the scene, a nice pub in the countryside, myself, the then grrlfiend, my parents, my sister and my brother in law and my little niece.
We're sat at the table waiting for the food to arrive. My sister's driving so the brother in law can have a drink. they've arrived after the rest of us, join us and sit down. I've just finished a glass of coke (not drinking as I'd been for a set of innoculations that morning in preparation for a trip abroad). So I get up and offer to get a round in. Cue my mother in an extremely loud whisper
"Stu, I think you should slow down a bit. You've already had one drink"
Me "Huh? I'm drinking coke for christ's sake!"
Her "Go ahead and ruin the meal for all of us then."
