Pickle18- Your situation sounds much more extreme than mine...I imagine things would be much more heated with my mother if she so blatantly disregarded what I said immediately after I said it.    With my mom, she WILL...

Thanks for your response. That is exactly what I'm toying with- maintaining the relationship, which is important to me, vs. pushing the issue a bit more and possibly causing friction or making her feel inadequate, which I don't want to...
