I have a friend who is going through the same kind of B.S. with her mom that I've had going on with my parents. And we were wondering if it's a generational thing, you know- crazy baby-boomers, or if it's an age thing and we're all going to act like that someday.
We have both decided that we would rather be strung up by our eyeballs than end up like our moms, so we've promised each other that if we see the other doing anything reminiscent of our bat-shit-crazy mothers, we are obligated to give each other a 'crazy check.'
I think this could work, don't you? I mean, wouldn't it get your attention if someone said to you, "um, you're starting to act like your mom..."
((shudder))
But mostly, I'm thinking it'll be time to end it if my daughter ends up with a 'crazy check' agreement with one of her friends.

too funny! i am a boomer by the first year (1946) and sarge and i do the same thing so it must be generational. the other day i was picking bits of beef out of my vegetable soup in a restaurant and he said, your mother used to do that, it's nuts, don't do it, and we both cracked up! good luck honey!
