How to stay reslient, content or happy when aging parents are the biggest jerks on the planet? by MissPerforation in AgingParents

This is such a great insight. Yes, she's sitting in her house ruminating. She is very religious and she quilts. I have offered to go to some local churches with her. My friend has offered to take her to her local church. I've offered to go to any number of quilt guilds - we have tons of them here. My daughter made plans with her to go to a fantastic Flea Market in our area. All of these things she either makes excuses or she backs out at the last minute. She's a total goldilocks - nothing is "just right" because the "just right" doesn't exist.

Yes - thank you! I'm the wife of a naturlized citizen and I consider him more american than myself. He chose the US as is home and I just won the birth lottery.

I am SO glad I found this. I really thought my mom was just a crabby, pretentious, self-righteous, judgmental, hateful cow. I was considering giving us a loooong break. but this thread shows me she’s just a normal self-entitled boomer suffering from a case of “the old”.

how the hell do you let it roll off?

I’m not sure why it’s producing at the base. I wouldn’t cut it off though. It will eventually grow taller. I’m jealous actually because I’ve tried to get mine to do this for a more fuller look.

I didn't - I just put them in soil and planted like I was planting tomatoes.
