As a forinstance: I dislike my maternal grandmother. My maternal grandmother is a nag. My maternal grandmother nags my mother, and my mother feels guilty about it even though she knows rationally she's a good daughter. If I see my maternal grandmother with my mother as a buffer, it makes my mother feel better. I'll be seeing the maternal this Thanksgiving even though, left to myself, I'd much rather not.
Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Huh. I'm beginning to think I'm able to love the holidays because I haven't had a family holiday in 20 years.
I'm still trying to work out how to tell my parents that while I am planning to go to Tucson in early December to help mom with the Christmas shopping, I don't want to come out for Christmas itself. It would be easier if Christmas weren't on Sunday this year.
