HYPE!!!

Why is everything and everyone so hyped right now? I mean really why is it necessary?

I've been dealing with some stuff recently, and my head's been a bit over the place....so the LAST thing I need right now is an arguement.

So I just called my mum...haven't seen or spoken to her since Friday when we all went out for my nephew's birthday. It was her birthday on Sunday, and I had EVERY intention of going to her house, like I do most Sunday evenings, I called the house, and my sister told me that my mum was sleeping. It was like 8pm. So I'm figuring there's no point going down there cos she's sleeping, and she don't get up for nobody when she's sleeping.....SO considering I was going there to see her, there'd be no point if she'd be sleeping. So I told my sister to tell my Mum happy b'day.

Didn't think anything of it. The fam went to Nando's yesterday for my sister's birthday (pure birthdays in Feb) but I didn't go cos I was stupidly broke, and u knew my mum wouldn't pay for me cos she paid for me on Friday.

So Anywho, I just called her, and the first thing she says is "oh you remember me?" instantly I know she's tryna get into something dumb, so the conversation goes:
Me: what's that supposed to mean?
Her: "what I said"
Me: I'm sure you have a phone too
Her: What?
Me: Well if I don't call you, or come round you don't check for me
Her: That's cos you're always at my house
::Case in point...If I don't come to her house, I don't see or hear from her! And then when I come too regular I'm hearing 'remember you don't live here. She calls my older sister EVERY DAY...more time several times a day, but she don't call me::
Me:Ah whatever Mum
Her: Yes, well it was my birthday and you didn't even call
::Again, Case in point, ANYONE else can not call i.e. my brother, and it's NO big ting....me now it's drama::
Me: I did call, but them kids said you was sleeping.
Her: Yes cos I was tired. Why you call that time anyway?
Me: It was 8! I was gonna come down, but you were sleeping! How am I meant to know you'd be sleeping then?
Her: Cos I was tired. I am allowed to sleep you know! Where was you all day anyways?
Me: At my Granny's
Her: (Overly sarcastic) Oh yeah, the wonderful Grannyhas to come first
Me: you know what Mum-I'll speak to you later
::click!::

Erm...what just happened there? I was just calling to say hi, and I get all that? My Mum's ALWAYS has this thing that I always put my Dad's side of the family over her and my siblings so she'll always have something smart to say. It's not that they don't get on, cos they do...my mum is my cousin's godmother, and my Aunty is my youngest brother and nephew's Godmother...thought neither have seen their Godchildren since when and when time...but anyways!

I don't favour one side of the fam over another...not at all...No one can replace my Mum...same way my grandparents & aunty are irreplaceable. I think what's always gotten to my Mum is I've always had a closer relationship with my Granny and Aunty...but then, I talk to my Mum about things I don't talk to Granny & Aunty about....simple fact-the relationships are DIFFERENT!

My Grandad used to be MAD grumpy, so when them kids used to come to my Granny's, I'd shut the door quietly, otherwise it'd be hours of pure cussing...my mum would see that as me taking care of their house better than hers! I mean, gimme a break!

So when she has snide remarks to make about them, it DOES bother me, and it DOES get my back up....same way if I heard my Aunty or Granny saying anything about my Mum it'd be the same reaction...And in case you're kinda confused, I don't have the same Dad as the rest of my siblings.

So a simple 'hi, how are you conversation' has turned into something much more hyped...and I'm PISSED! I'm sooo not in the mood now, and being as stubborn as I be, I won't go by the house...unless it's to grab mail, and as stubborn as my Mum is, she won't talk to me...ah-this is SO long! Sometimes I wonder if this woman is really a grown ass woman!!

Tell me you guys-did I do something wrong? Honestly, what did I miss??????
