more boundary setting with Jacket’s mom

Lots of back-and-forth going on with Jacket’s mom.  As tempting as it is to post her text messages, it seems too demeaning.  In short, her demands have been getting out of control.  For example,

1.  We’re coming to lunch on Sunday (ok)

2.  Cook lots of vegatables (ok, I usually don’t take food orders from guests, but…)

3. Make a salad (is that something you could bring?)

4. We want chicken nuggets (if there’s something specific you want, feel free to bring it)

In the end I didn’t agree to her food demands and she responded with a thinly veiled excuse for not coming over.  (no problem, there’s always next time.  have a great day!)

Jacket and her mom are supposed to come over tomorrow night.  I’m still not bowing to food demands, but I upped the ante a bit by suggesting that we make Valentine’s cards together.  I think she liked that.
