She tells my daughter

disappointed with that, but figure mom is not happy with me at the moment
any way and it is her way of hurting my feelings.
Mothers and their relations with daughters get very weird sometimes. Mine,
who was certifiably nutty as I have remarked elsewhere, did the following
once: I had finally learned to love veggies without loading them up with
butter (still prefer them that way now) and she started making an issue at a
family/friends dinner about my not buttering my corn. I told her I didn't
like it that way and she kept pestering me about it. When I left the room
for a minute to get something from the kitchen I came back and found she had
buttered the corn...dripping! She seemed to regard my good habits as my
"showing off" and trying to "act like I was better than everybody else."
So you have a lot more company here, I'm sure.
