She's kidding me, right?

So I'm copy/pasting from an IM for part of this, forgive me if it sounds retarded.


To begin with, my friend Danielle got engaged on Christmas Eve. I told my mom, and she says, "Uh oh, everyone's getting engaged and married on you, better hurry up and find someone." To which I simply replied, "Well, if I could just go pick someone off the shelf at the grocery store, I would."

Then she said something condescending about me getting older (I'm 26 for fuck's sake), and running out of time. I just ignored that. Then she said, "You can't live here forever, so you better hurry up and get married." That, I couldn't let slide. I was like, "What is this, 1487? I live in my parents house until the right guy brings over enough sheep for me to go live with him? If I could afford it, I wouldn't be here now, and I have no intention on moving directly out of here into living with some guy. I'm going to live by myself first." (I never want to be completely dependent on a guy. I want to know that if I ever have to, I can take care of myself). She followed that with something rude, but by now I'd shut my door.

So today, my nephew was just born. (and now I copy/paste from IM).I've been sick as hell, that's why I didn't go to the hospital. So my mom gets home and i'm flipping through the pictures, and I zoom past the closeups off Lindsey all spread eagle, like "I'm just gonna skip these." My dad laughs, and my mom gets all snotty, and goes, "Are you a woman or what? Do you have a maternal bone in your body?"

I'm like, why, cuz I don't want to see other female's exploding vaginas? She gets all snippy, talking about how it's a beautiful thing, etc, etc. I'm like, okay, fine, I'm sure I see it differently when i have kids, but right now I don't need to know intimate details of Lindsey's crotch.

Then she's been nothing but nasty to me since then. I have a glass sitting on the counter because I still plan on using it the next time I get a drink, and then she's all, "What, you can't clean up after yourself?"

So she got snotty with me when Dani got engaged, snotty now because I don't want to look at Lindsey's crotch... my only theory is that she's mad at me. Is she seriously fucking mad at me because I'm not married with kids or something?
