why spend any time with someone you dont enjoy or even like?

no need to be rude to them, just dont take their calls, dont make plans for lunch, dont make yourself available to them. cut emotional vampires from your life. problem solved.

That pretty much sums it up. Emotional vampires is a good way to put it. OP, is this someone you can avoid contact with?

Bleh. I think you have to suck it up then at least for the time being. I assume she's always been this way. Then you get to decide how much time you want to spend around her, if any.

Don't get me wrong now, I do love my mother because she's my mother, but one of the best things I ever did was to move 1500 miles away from her.

One of the funniest comic strips that I ever saw was one of those single-panel comics. It showed couples in little boats, floating into the Tunnel of Love. One boat had only one person in it. The toll-taker asked him, "One ticket again as usual, Narcissus?"

I wouldn't call your mother a narcissist just because she talks about herself all the time.

Just the same, I'd just get up and walk out of the room the next time it happens.

Just talking about one-self does not equal a true Narcissist. . .you really have to live with one to know them. . . they are impossible to deal with because everything and I mean E_V_E_R_Y_T_H_I_N_G!! revolves around them. They insert themselves into every little detail and always attempt to divide and conquer. Look up narcissistic personality disorder and when all those negatives line up you have a real Narcissist and I do live with one, and her only son is only now recognizing why he thought he was the crazy one for many years.

You should never choose to live with someone like that. but if you do. . .brace yourself for the expected unexpected ALL the time!

jelloshotgirl -

well, the weather is NICE now -

so maybe this is a great time to get handy with power tools, outside of the house?

start by building a small tool shed, to hold yer power tools

then start building birdhouses from reclaimed used lumber that yer picking up from visiting these 'house remodel sites'

when ya get to 100 birdhouses, hey !!! get to a flea market and sell them !

obviously you've got to kill 3 months of 'waiting' anyway - why not make some extra money?

oh - and the real trick? when yer using yer power tools outside -

always

wear big hearing protection - similar to the same gear the airport crew uses.

You'll never hear her.
