Spent a half an hour earlier helping set up Max and Netflix on mom's smart TV and typing with its remote is incredibly slow, plus I'm tolerating her at the same time. That's its own thing, but then she sees me typing out her long passwords and usernames and goes "If it's a pain, too bad" 
Several parts of this are a pain, mother
Including puzzling out how someone who gets paid to spend more time in front of a computer than I do can be so technologically illiterate
ughhhhhhhh Dx
Yes, I called her out on what she said. I even repeated it and asked her if that's what she really said. And of course she tried to double back on it after having it pointed out
not sure if your mom is a boomer, but y is boomer logic 
She is
Like, actively listens to Fox News kind of boomer
regardless of if she lived in the baby boom, she is a boomer in that, we want her to go boom
This is why I have zero tolerance for "Oh, they didn't mean it"
Boomer logic then with having painfully long passwords and oh GOD that was my mom too am sorry Dx
I've had to deal with roughly thirty years of hurtful remarks that she "didn't mean to say" just because she doesn't take the time to think about what she's actually saying and how offensive her words can be
I'm done pretending any of that shit is okay
So I will call her out on it. To her face
Gaslighting hrn
Same way I did yesterday, when she wanted to talk about how needless it is ordering pizza when you can just get one from the supermarket for less money and I tell her "I haven't bought pizza in a long time"
As a matter of fucking fact, I MADE my own pizza. TWO of them, lately
The last time I remember buying was because my grandfather died and I thought he'd like the joke
Mind you, she's the one coming home with bought pizza at least once every two weeks, INCLUDING LAST WEEK
And of course, she wanted to double back on that, too, insisting she also doesn't buy pizza. Whether she buys it or gets it from meetings or whatever the fuck, the same thing applies
She's never gonna understand why I avoid talking to her as much as possible
No shit yea >< /huuuugs
"I don't need to be his friend," Mother says to my sister in a phone conversation about why I don't talk to her. "I'm his mother," She says.
"Okay, when was the last time you were a mother to him?" My sister swiftly replies
I'm glad my sister and I are on the same wavelength of done with her bullshit
(For context, the phone call was her concerned about some letters I was printing out to argue I'm not mentally fit for jury duty. She skimmed it, I refused to elaborate and she explained it to my sister, who immediately understood I was trying to get out of jury duty)
(She then called me to fill me in on the chat, I confirmed her suspicions and we shared a good, hard laugh about it)
Also parents SHOULD have friend as well as parent like relationship with their kids, because tbere is a trust and actual bond with that
I shouldn't have to say duh, but duh
Something she does not understand in the slightest. And that's something you understand well, Foxie. As well as or even better than I do
And I'm glad you do
/snuuuuuugsss
Just want to try to help where I can, care about you friend <3333333
/scoops you both up into big hugs
