My mother is excellent- great taste, fun to be with, supportive. Just a bit.. imposing? She told me the other day that her co-worker thought it was unnessary for her to remind my sister of something she needed done, and that if she doesn't remember, my sister just has to deal with the mistake.
My mother replied, "My children don't make mistakes."
She's one of those people who thinks she's right all the time and that everyone should do as she says because of that. And she is right almost all the time, its just that... Well, you can't really learn if you don't make mistakes, right?
She's getting her knee scoped and I'm fretting over it because of all the implications- more money, her being bed-ridden for a month, the possibility of more severe surgery soon after... I can't sleep. ;-;
My big sister's a bit of the same way, too, but younger, nerdier and with truckloads of confidence. I sometimes worry that she gets too absorbed in her job doing science, though.
I don't wish my father ill, I just don't want him to have any part in my life unless he changes his ways. He won't, though.
