You are just too funny!
*I have to agree!! :)And you remind me so much of myself. :)
*Hey, I said that in a different post. You're cramping my style :)I am definitely going to try the conversation technique.
*OK, a few tips...
It works best if you do it without laughing, now this is important. If you laugh, the person will only think that you are joking and you don't want that.
Also, to make the person feel like a real piece of work, do it in front of an audience. It also works well with just the two of you, but an audience gathers the best results. It really makes the person think about giving unsolicited advice or opinions.
As for your mommy, that's a toughy. You love her and wouldn't want to be harsh. I have the opposite problem with my mommy. Hmmm. Let me fix another cup of coffee and think about it for a second. And, you should have taken her up on the offer. A ride from Mommy Dearest is better than the bus anyday :)Ok, do you have a cell phone? Maybe she could offer to split the bill on one and the would help ease her mind when you went off driving in horrible conditions, like 10 feet of snow like today :) Or if you tried to have a conversation with her telling her that you are an adult and that you need to be treated as such. Yes, you love her dearly, but you feel that she treats you like a child. Just try talking to her. It just may do the trick.
