MY QUESTION: Am I overreacting to what my mom said about the 30 dollars and do you think I can accept the fact she does not care how much jewelry I buy.
On Saturday, August 11, 2007 my mom, my sister, brother-in-law, my two nephews and I went to a crafts fair. I went to the booth that sells jewelry for $1.00. They had rings and necklaces for a dollar. When I picked out three rings my mom asked me how many was I going to buy. I said maybe one of each. She said that could be $30. I said to her that I buy 30 dollars worth of jewelry at the 99 cent store. She said you do. I asked her a couple of times in a 15 minute span if she cares if I buy the jewelry and she said no. I said to her it sounds like she is making comments and she said to me she is not making any comments. As we walked away from the booth I said to her you said that the rings could be 30 dollars worth. She then said I really didn't like the rings and I didn't want to say that because we were standing at the booth. So about a half hour later I asked her if she cared if I buy a lot of the jewelry at the 99 cent stores in our neighborhood and she said you like it why do I care. When we got home I said to her not to harp but do you care if I go to the 99 cent store and buy a lot of jewelry. My mom said you do and if you want to do that it is ok, but you also have to get an apartment to make a life for yourself. So when my mom and I were home my mom brought up how my sister spends too much money. So this made me bring up my jewelry. I told her how pretty mine is and how the a lady thought my bracelet was SwarovskiWhen my mom said that she cant believe that my sister spent close to 400 dollars on necklaces that is when I said to her what about my jewelry I buy and my mom replied that is different it is a dollar a piece, not 100 per necklace.
PS: Yesterday (Sunday, August 13, 2007) I asked her if she cares if I buy 30 dollars worth and she said No I don't care it is your money not mine.
