The passive-aggressive guilt tripMy mother is an expert in the guilt-trip. Last week she phoned to say "Happy Birthday" and, after a 10 minute conversation, finished with, "Well, I hope you have a nicer time than I did on the day you were born."
She also stated that she was going to kill herself when she reached 65. On Christmas Day morning. Having rung up to see if there was anything she could bring for lunch.
I think it's just a mother thing, but how good are your relatives and friends at the passive-aggessive?

I'm embarrassed to admit I did this to my mum the other dayMe: I'm moving house.
Mum: Oh. That's not very convenient.
Me: What, for the NEC? For the shows you go to once a year?
Mum: Yes.
Me: You want me to not move because you need to stay over once a year? Even though you currently average one visit every four years? FOUR YEARS!
Mum: Yes.
The guilt trip thing doesn't really work on her.
