I Love My Mom

Just so we're all clear, I do love my mother, and I do actually get along with her really well. We do things together and all that. But like most mothers, she can drive me crazy. That's what mothers do. Mine, anyway. She's one of the closest people to me, and every little disapproval or comment or whatever is magnified by my perception because I only want both my parents to love me unconditionally.

What she wants is for me to be happy and securely ensconced in a marriage with someone of the means to take care of me. If it's someone with the means to outdo her rich sister who married very well, all the better. From her perspective, thin equals beauty equals snagging a good man.
