I'm at my adoptive parents' place, for the first time in about six months to 'celebrate' midsummer's eve. (Big holiday here.) Actually, my "mother" is quite well-behaved now, not even any grumpiness or complaints.

Why, looking at the way she behaves now, you'd even be fooled she's NORMAL! Smile

...Anyway, what I was going to vent about happened yesterday evening. She wants to be a grandmother. Agh!

Yup. She gave me that whole "I wish you'd find yourself a nice girl and marry" spiel... Aaagghh!

"Everyone I know have already become a grandmother", she complained... THANKS, like I needed to hear that. Shit, I got enough on my shoulders as it is...sigh! I almost had to toss her out of the room to end it. Highly annoying!

Pity me, please.

I dont know about Pity but I can understand how you feel about a Mother that is superficial.

I had one too and it is good that I dont anymore. Just be you Lenny, I am sure you are a good person. Smile Tell her it is YOUR life and that when you are ready to expand on your life, you will. Smile

A Small hug from me Lenny ok? Smile

Thanks!

Okay, so the pity is running low, but I appreciate the sympathy though! Smile

It's not so much she's superficial, more like ignorant. She's not wholly updated on my situation, and all aspects of myself too for that matter (particulary the one I explore here on this message board).

That's a choice of my own, I don't want to deal with telling her that while I do like girls, I like boys more, and that puts me in situations like the one yesterday.

It's not the first time it has happened, but it's the one that affected me the most strongly, probably because I'm finally starting to get more in tune with myself now, and that makes me more sensitive to such things I guess...

Oh well. I'm home again right now, so there will be peace and quiet for a while, heh!

Well damn it, be honest with her. How can you expect her to not want grandchildren. I see the problem is more about your being willing to be upfront about yourself rather than HER misconception of what to expect from you.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
