Stupidity is Bad For Your Health

I have this small area on the edge of the little piece of furniture in the dining room where I keep a small water container and a cup of water there too--sometimes. It is just convenient for me as the kitchen and other parts of the house are always covered every inch with something else. My mom keeps telling me it is in a "bad place". I don't think it is cause I'm careful and don't knock things over like that generally. She keeps on with it and then today she finally does it, she spills the darn cup over. Of course, cause she is such a clutz, and it really didn't have anything to do with me. I think she probably even did it on purpose knowing her mind. Ugh. Just to prove me right. I have never spilled it there, she is always tinkering with things there and messing with this and that too much and that is how she spilled it. She will go on and on about not locking myself out when they lock the door and go out when I'm just home alone but I never lock myself out, on the contrary she has done it at least 2 times. She is nagging me about things she will probably do her self and it drives me bonkers all the time. Does anyone in your household get this bad and then they're the ones who end up doing the things they are nagging you about? How crazy stupid is that. I'm always blamed for alot of things (most of which is imagined worse than it is) but this is just getting to me. She is so rude at times, and yesterday she told my dad if he doesn't use the new hearing aid he will be getting, she will kick his azz. I mean, really???? Sheesh she is in her 70's, this crap has to stop already. I guess she thinks she should just keep eating those nasty salty chips, with her totally gross diet in general for a 70+ yr old woman-- just reaking of having a heart attack and nagging everyone to death before she does so. That is what I keep thinking, yuck. That is if I don't get to the mental asylum first from all the unecessary stress she causes just cause she is a unhappy person who thrives on being a jerk. Then ya wonder why I hate people in general, with this always dangling over my self esteem.

We all learn by experience where not to put what because sooner or later we might spill it or it can harm us. For your mother these are different places as they are for you. This doesn't mean she is right and you are wrong, or she is wrong and you are right. It also doesn't have anything to do with her being clumsy or doing it on purpose. If you share a house together you both have to find a way where to put what so it will not harm any of you. It's the same with locking yourself out.. it's not said it will never happen to you. And because she did and had that experience she is warning you. There is nothing wrong with that either. I wonder why you are so annoyed about these things not worth fighting about. In time you will see these things will happen to you as well.. no matter how old you are. Being busy, having stress is a good reason too to get "clumsy" or get little accidents or change your habits without knowing.
