She is a Tasmanian devil on steroids. For all our sakes, keep her off of here. Seriously. As in I am not kidding. As in she will judge you not worthy in seconds. As in she really really cares about appearance, not substance. How do I put it delicately?

My mother is shallow and unafraid to let it show.

Best way I can put it. I suffer her BS because I love her as a son. My poor Dad... how he hasn’t killed her... I will never know.

I on the other hand married a saint. :-) Sweetest tough Bitch you can even imagine. She thinks FR is too liberal, and rather is active in local politics. Got elected to our homeowners association on the platform of this thing is BS, and we are paying for nothing. Dissolved it. I live in a community with no busy body aholes (my mom) to tell me what to do. 3 of us in the community take care of the common areas. The rest occasionally stop and donate for gas, seed, fertilizer or weed killer. Takes 15 minutes a week in the summer. We even had a resident landscaper in here come out with his skidsteer on a voluntary basis, as in he decided they looked terrible, came and ripped the yews out roots and all. Regraded the area, hydroseeded, and asked the guy across the street from the area to water it for him. Looks great today.
