My mom is one of those people who goes out of her way to learn other people's names and to chat with them. This has really served her well at the assisted living place and now at the nursing home. Everyone loves her and goes out of their way to help her.

You don't have an option for "was a crappy mother" I would go with crackhead which wasn't meant literally but I'm sure some people will have meant that...

My mom is very nice, but I wouldn't call her the sweetest woman in the world. Growing up she was tough as nails; she was mostly fair, but sometimes she made mistakes. I DO understand her; that doesn't mean that we see eye to eye on everything. I guess that would tell you that she is not my idol, nor is she my best friend; but I love her and we have a really good relationship. Now if you do a survey about sisters - my sister is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!

You don't have a choice for martyr....or 2-faced....or puts everyone else's opinions before her family's.....or plays favoritism.....

My mother is a whackadoodle. I can't wait to move again so I don't have to live in the same state as her. Michigan isn't big enough for the 2 of us (no I am not fat). We can be around each other for about an hour and then I get all stabby and want to hurt people.

I'm definitely related to ImaAngel, POM or nqty. I pretty much didn't talk to my mother for 3-4 years there. Unfortunately have had to communicate with her in the past couple of months owing to my dad having invasive brain surgery...man, do I ever miss the days of no contact. You can feel her sucking the life right out of you as you desperately try to escape.

You can feel her sucking the life right out of you as you desperately try to escape. That's it exactly! A needy vampire! I've had little to no contact for almost 5 years now. I've never liked her more.

My Mom doesn't fit into any of the categories in the poll. She's human and she made her share of mistakes while I was growing up, but I love her dearly and I know she loves me dearly (I'm almost 40 but I'm still her *baby*), but............ she drives me nuts.
I know that if/when I need her, she's there in a heartbeat. That means a lot to me, but I just wish I could enjoy her company more; that we could hang out and do things together and have it be an enjoyable, pleasant experience instead of a whine-fest of woe-is-me tales.
Just thinking about it makes me sad.

So, my mother. Where to begin, lol. She was an undiagnosed bipolar for most of my childhood, although not a rip-roaring out of control one. We really butted heads once I was out of high school and into my early 20's. Once I moved out things improved a lot! My mom's a social worker and really cares about what she does, really cares about people and is genuinely a good person. She isn't being a momzilla about my wedding, despite the fact she's helping us pay for it. Sometimes I still get aggravated with stuff she says or does, but I have the ability to just go home, and simmer down, and it's over. We have a good relationship Now, MIL (future MIL) - omG the woman's ridiculous, on many levels. Luckily she likes me!
