To preface, I am not the favorite child and I’ve always known that and I’ve made peace with it. My mother is supes religious and conservative and I am very lesbian and also left-winged! Another important mention is that she’s the world’s most cynical lady, always dishing side comments and muttering backhanded insults under her breath. Essentially I am the antithesis of everything she craved in a daughter ever since I chose legos over baby dolls.
As I mentioned, she makes a lot of snide remarks and she always has all my life. Until recent, she would only talk mad dump about strangers or extended family and I only ever heard her dish some grout about me when I eavesdropped. However, I came home from college Friday night (3 days ago) and when she picked me up from the airport I made a huge mistake!!
We were chatting during the car ride home and my grades got brought up. I’m Dean’s list and have numerous scholarships at a considerably notable school, but as you could guess it’s not good enough to satiate my mother. She was complaining about a B I got on an exam and the conversation got heated until I snapped and said “You just wish you had double [my brother] and none of me.” With her giving the world’s worst reply of, “My contempt for you has nothing to do with [brother].”
Now, the smart thing for me to do would be to be silent, or perhaps have an awesome comeback to win this argument. Instead i chuckled and said “oop, freudian slip?” she sort of laughed?? and the rest of the ride was silent. Since then she’s made similar remarks whenever I see her and now plays it off as a stupid little haha joke omg hahaha i hate my daughter lololololol. And now I have to deal with that.
TLDR: My mother casually talked about hating me and I made a joke of it, allowing her to now leave little hateful comments all the time disguised as jokes.
