Re: Sexist mother...venting

Uh... saying something like "Oh, I know they can be awful at that age, but it's just a phase and it'll pass. Look at [OP], she was exactly the same way and she turned out great." is commiserating with a friend. Saying that your daughter made your life hell and you wanted to kill her and she's STILL awful to be around when your daughter is sitting right there isn't commiserating, it's being mean.

The clue is when OP tells her mother that wasn't cool and the mother immediately shuts her down with the "it was just a joke" excuse. You know what she would've said if she were merely commiserating with a friend? Maybe something like, "I'm sorry, you're right, I was trying to make [the friend] feel better but I went too far. I didn't mean what I said."

That's what decent human beings do. Going by her behavior, OP's mother doesn't sound like a decent human being who made an oopsie that should be overlooked, it's a pattern of negative behaviors that she is NOT sorry for no matter whose feelings get hurt.

OP

She's since claimed that she's sorry for what she said and she realized she shouldn't have said those things, but I'm not completely sure she actually means it. I think I'm going to just have to spend less time with her.

That's probably a good idea, as she sounds like an unpleasant person who's never had to face up to how badly she treats other people. With with luck, this will be her wake up call. Good luck, OP.
