my mother has become so ridiculously menopausal, im close to losing my mind. i came home from a terrible day at work.. running on three hours of sleep, and i kind of expected the house to be empty.. so when my parents had gotten home early, i think i was reasonably dissapointed. they called out their "hello"'s and i said hi back, dragged my way upstairs, shut the door, turned the lights off, and sat down. my mum walks in and says "you know, you could at least come up and say hi" .... i look right at her, and deadpan "hi" ... she gets all tight-lipped, and shuts the door and walks away... twenty minutes later and she's back. "you already know how vulnerable i am right now, and i would appreciate a little sympathy"... my mental response is, 'so would i' but she shuts and the door again and leaves before i say anything. i lie down and NOT sleep for a while, and when i leave the room, the house is empty and everyone is gone. i go downstairs and i put on a movie.. 45minutes pass and i get a call from my cousin "where are you, everyone's over here for dinner" .."i wasn't aware i was invited" "well, your mom said your door was shut so she thought you weren't up for it" ...ummmm.. SHE SHUT MY DOOR!!! i did no door shutting.. she was the QUEEN of door shuttage (yes, i am aware thats not a word) grrrrrr..... she better get her ass back in therapy soon..
please understand. i love my mum. i normally get along with her really well. but lately, if i dont run to her with open arms, demanding hugs and kisses, then clearly i must not like her anymore.

There is a weird co-incidence of kids moving out, the onset of menopause in women and mid-life crisis in men happening all at the same time.
If they didn't drive you nuts, you'd never leave!
