She’s going home.

So ends another visit from Mom. This one was a little different from most of her other visits. We actually had a couple of heated discussions (fights) something that I haven’t done with her in a long time. Damn she pushed me though.
I’ve tried not to be like she was when I was growing up. When it came to school for the boys. I want them to go don’t be fooled, but the world won’t end for them if they don’t it didn’t for me. It seems that every parent wants better for their children and I would be lying if I said i didn’t as well. Even their arguments that they wouldn’t be who they are now if we would have had more money, do not sway the fact that I wish that I would have been able to give them all the things that I couldn’t. But back to the rant, so we went to go get Nathan’s report card before going to see Ryan walk the stage and get his diploma and while waiting I said that Ryan’s girlfriend was moving to Toon town in the fall and that he would be spending a lot of time there. I might have gone so far as to tell the old girl that they were planning on moving in together, they were and the thought better of the idea for now. Any how she proceeded to tell me that it was wrong for them to move in together and that nothing good could come of it. Now I’m not stupid for the most part and I know that I would prefer if they didn’t, but as I said the world won’t end if they do.
The second point of contention arose when upon looking at Nathan’s report card she stated that it would be a waste for him not to go to some sort of post secondary education. I told her that I didn’t like pressuring the boys and trying to make the go to school, I hope that I have encouraged them to do so. Again I’m not a fool, but go when your ready not when your parents, grandparents of anyone else tells you to go, you won’t be happy.
I kinda figured at this point that the rest of this visit was going to be very long if I didn’t stop letting her say what she wants to say fortunately she hasn’t said much that I haven’t heard before so I can live with it.
Just a final note, I do love my Mom, I just prefer her from a distance.
