Would it kill you to pick up the phone and call your mother??
We did the best we could...all we've done...it's gonna kill you to give us a call, let us know you're not lying dead in a ditch somewhere? If you don't call...It's Pesach, if God forbid you should forget the corn syrup-free Coke for whatever seder you're going to since of course you're too busy to come to ours...

1. Well, it wouldn't kill me,
but it would give me a really bad headache.

2. Not a call, not a card, nothing!
We only hear from you when you need money, we only see you when you have ten pillowcases of dirty laundry!!

14. my mother would have a heart attack if I called her at this hour
if I call her at 9:30 she is like "whats wrong...are you OK."

She is NOT a night owl. She thinks everything after 10 is nothing but trouble. But I love her anyway.

6. I always forget, when I'm bitching about my mom,
that not everyone has a dysfunctional family. I'm sorry you don't have your mother anymore, and didn't mean to offend.

7. I guess I'd have to kill myself to talk to her.
Since she has died.

8. I call Mom once a week.
Sunday night at 630PM. Right after the kitchen is clean, and right before she showers before settling-down to watch television and read until bedtime.

Such a momma's boy.. geez..

11. Actually, it might...
I'd have a major heart attack if she answered, because she passed away about three years ago...

24. Thanks.
When we held her wake and scattered her ashes, we forgot to check the wind direction. Mom got in our faces one last time!

23. Nag, nag, nag
Jeez! I'll see her tonight at my brother's seder, okay?

Seder, as you probably know, is the Hebrew word for "order." Last night, instead of a seder, I attended perhaps the most glorious embodiment of *disorder* ever: THE BOSTON DU MEETUP! :grouphug:

25. you scared me!
I saw your thread title--and I thought--oh no it is mother's day and I forgot all about it!

This would be a great thread for mother's day--reminds all the slackers to at least give mom a call.
