The passive-aggressive guilt trip
My mother is an expert in the guilt-trip. Last week she phoned to say "Happy Birthday" and, after a 10 minute conversation, finished with, "Well, I hope you have a nicer time than I did on the day you were born."
She also stated that she was going to kill herself when she reached 65. On Christmas Day morning. Having rung up to see if there was anything she could bring for lunch.
I think it's just a mother thing, but how good are your relatives and friends at the passive-aggessive?

Should be in a bucket
My mum told me that after my (elder) brother was born, she was told not to have any kids because there was a high probability that she might die. But when she was pregnant with me she'd rather take the risk then have an abortion.
Don't get me wrong - I'm thankful she did.
But it's a hell of a guilt trip to lay on a 12 year old...
