[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MickelPickel Your mother. While she did start the whole predicament, you just kept fanning the flames rather than swallow your pride and leave it alone. I understand your lack of "respect" for your mother (I've had similar issues with my own) but I think you've come to the point that you just want her to be a subordinate for your every whim. Subordination/compliance=/=respect. Respect is a two way street. The fact that your mother brought the pizza back shows that your mother is willing to walk it. Now it's your turn.[/quote] It's what she said that annoyed me. She expected an apology and gratitude for rectifying a juvenile act.
