• 08:52:03: Starting the week a little bit off. Still grumpy about the phone call with the parents. Not sure how to tell my mother off nicely.
  
• 08:54:31: There is no PC way to ask your parents to treat you like an adult. One can think that if one acts like an adult, the treatment follows.
  
• 08:55:38: But one can never really be objective about one's self. So maybe I'm just acting like a damn child.
  
• 09:40:19: Had a good talk with friend Aaron yesterday. Funny how friendships work better when you stop trying so hard to make a joke.
  
• 09:41:35: Had a good dinner with friend Karen on Friday. Was good to spend time with friend I had BH (before husband). They DO exist!
  
• 17:33:04: Leaving work late today. Must do all I can to not run screaming from the building. I think I did it to myself today.
  
• 20:53:53: Jogged with the dog tonight. Went faster further and felt good, too! Cherish the small improvements

Don't attack yourself in the parent's realm. I doubt you're being unreasonable. They can be really difficult in that area. It's built into them, so you can hardly blame them, but you can still train them out of it. You have to find an important line and draw it, standing your ground consistently with them, never giving in on it. That helped me with my folks and we have a much better relationship now that we've gotten through it.
