Anna’s Life

You know how they always say once you leave home, you can never go back? I definitely know why now.  After being back with my mom, she drives us all crazy.  She wants to control EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of our lives.

She treats me like I am 12 years old or something.  If it were not for my relationship with God, I would have had a nervous breakdown by now.   I try to be patient and not let her get to me, but sometimes I just want to SCREAM.

The other night my husband, the kids, and I were watching a movie and we were cracking up.  That is a mother alert…if she hears anyone having a good time, she has to destroy it.  I counted 12 unnecessary interruptions within 10 minutes! You cannot watch a movie or tv show without her driving you nuts.  She doesn’t want to hang out and watch it with you, but she will not let you have a moment of peace either.

When our attic area is ready, I will be so happy to have a space all to myself and away from mom.  I need SPACE so badly it is not even funny.  So does my husband and kids.  She doesn’t know it yet, but we are putting a door to the hallway with a lock on the inside so that when we go to bed at night, it will be like we are going home.  She has to have a line or something so that the incessant interruptions cease.  Maybe I should say that we have to have a wall / barrier for our sanity. 

Being in the sandwich generation is not easy!
