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?

Women are masters of this..I get this with my gf a lot.
She'll ask me to go buy her beer, or make her food, and generally I'll be happy to oblige. Occasionally, however, I can't be arsed.
This is where the puppydog eyes, the looking away quietly and not speaking and the 'you don't love me's' come in. And usually I give in.
Even when it's 'please go make me a sandwich' at 3am.
She never shouts or pushes me, she's just mastered passive-agressive guilt tripping.
I can't do it. Any request of mine is met with 'fuck off and do it yourself you lazy cow'. I need to learn to stand up for meself.
