Uf, I know that feeling of needing to "whine"/vent.. It sometimes appears that mothers act like that on purpose, just to push your buttons!
The first foster mom my brother and I had, was very much like that. All the freaking time. Even if someone disagrees with her the slightest, she will act like they are possessed by a demon.. Because, how in the world could anyone ever disagree with her when she is SO right and perfect!?!?
Gosh.. Just thinking about her makes me want to vent and whine!
