Mother rant, 1? of infinity...

Does everyone's mother say how they have failed at raising their child because said child does not keep its house as clean as said child's mother? Do they ever have anything positive to say? Do they harp on things like faded shear curtains, that came with the house and are being replaced soon by blinds and don't rate washing, yet, somehow, they chisel away at most of said child's capabilities as an adult human being, or so she would believe? I've been told to just ignore such things, the rantings of a crazy old woman. This was from someone whose crazy old mother was safely in another country, not a couple miles away. It's hard when your mother is so perfect, you can never measure up, even if you wanted to, which you don't.....not in that way, at least....
