Anyone ever just get tired of people and their moods? Someone will be grumpy around you for a week and you know they're pissed at you, but won't come out and say it. I don't play into those games anymore. I don't even ask what's wrong. I decided that it's better for me to not to care. Is that too harsh? I mean, don't be all mean to me and not even tell me. I don't think it's my responsibility to ask when THEY are treating me rudely.

I feel like you definitely picked up on the signals that they WANT you to ask. I guess you can deal with their moping around or wait until they explode or get over it.

Do you have any idea what you may have done?

Well it's my parents. I'm dead serious with my next statement. My mom is one of those people who thinks money = love, so if you don't get her diamonds for mother's day, they you're a bad kid and don't love her. I stopped getting gifts for them for MD and FD, and just cards. Somehow mom always forgets.

I didn't really even see her on Mother's Day. I gave her TWO cards in the morning, hugged her, kissed her, and went to church. She started being weird on Monday.

I get what you are saying and I do this at work. I don't entertain people's moods. I let them live in their own little bad mood world and don't let it affect my day or my work.

Well, no gifts can be hurtful to a mother, but if you and the other kids haven't gotten her gifts in a few years, this should be expected by now. When you're an adult and out of the house, mailing a card is fine.

Can you sympathize at all and see how getting no gifts might be hurtful?

Can you sympathize at all and see how getting no gifts might be hurtful? I guess, but this is something we agreed on, and she's 70. She doesn't want or need anything. |

Flowers would probably have done it.

No. She thinkgs flowers are thoughtless. She usually demands money and gift cards. Then she gives me money for my birthday. So what's the point to keep giving each other the same $25 back and forth?

I wouldn't really look at it that way. Are you still giving to each other for birthdays and Christmas?

Last year, my parents got cards for MD, FD, and birthdays. They got gifts for Christmas.

I feel like you should be the bigger person here and ask what's wrong.
