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 don't even know if this counts, 'cos I'm drunkedbut.
Today was my best friends 30th (yay for old people!).
Me, her husband and a couple of other firends of hers had planned a surprise mini party for her. No big deal, you may think. However, my best friend has the big C, yes, cancer. The BIG C, hence if you meet me you will see the yellow wristband.
Anyway, she had chemo yesterday so we planned her birthday party for Saturday - or so she thought. Limo, booze, boys, etc!
Due to the supriseness of today's party, I called her to wish her happy birthday, and that lunch is on me on Saturday at a restaurant of her choice (knowing she feels like shit today due to chemo).
So, she thinks nobody cares today because it's the day after treatment, but her husband and kid (the best behaved, most wonderful child ever - no sarcasm there, he really is). Her other friends also called her to wish her happy birthday.
She totally pulled the whole "nobody cares about me, it's my 3oth birthday. Well fuck it, I'll just lay in my pajamas and die from cancer"
Needless to say, after that, we all got on the phone with everyone who knows her and had a massive surprise for her when she got home tonight.
Oh, and yay for medical marijuana. God bless the Big C!
