What my Nmom posted on FB the other day. I called my brother and we both laughed at how ridiculous it is because none of it is true except for the part about eating out of the fridge. As I read it I said (out loud) my response. They are in Bold below:

This was posted by a friend and it made me cry.....I feel the same way....
Every year (well, maybe not every year) my children ask me the same question. After thinking about it, I decided I'd give them my real answer: What do I want for Mother's Day? I want you. I want you to keep coming around I don't want to. I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice I don't want your advice, tell me your problems, ask for my opinion I don't want your opinion, ask for my help I don't want your help. I want you to come over and rant about your problems, rant about life, whatever Nope, because then I'll get your opinions and "advice" I'll rant to my friends, thanks. Tell me about your job, your worries, whatever I'll pass, thanks. I want you to continue sharing your life with me I haven't shared any details of my life except for surface stuff I tell co-workers in almost a year. Come over and laugh with me, or laugh at me, I don't care HA! If I laughed at you, you would have an absolute fit! In fact, you did that everytime as I grew up. Threw a fit and pouted and locked yourself in your bedroom. Hearing you laugh is music to me Only when it's Nmom-approved laughter!.
I spent the better part of my life raising you the best way I knew how I guess that's true - your mom was a terrible Nmom, and you tried to do better. Now, give me time to sit back and admire my work Admire your work???? Too many words for this to type out. I'm trying to UNDO some of the "work" you've done, and it's hard.
Raid my refrigerator, help yourself, I really don't mind. In fact, I wouldn't want it any other way. This part is the only true part, really, she would let me eat whatever food she had laying around
I want you to spend your money making a better life for you I AM. That's why I used my money to move out on my own. I have the things I need Yep, you do. I want to see you happy and healthy I'm happier and healthier since moving out and reducing contact with you. When you ask me what I want for Mother's Day, I say "nothing" because you've already been giving me my gift all year But, if I actually got you nothing, I would be asked "why" and you would be put out that I didn't get you anything. I want you.
If you feel the same way, feel free to copy and paste... I did! Time and memories mean more than any material item I could ever receive. I love you CaughtInDireWood. I love you CaughtInDireWood's Brother.
